     | 3,593 views

    A sermon about loving people into the Kingdom.

    “We are Judged by the Company We Keep” Matthew 9:9-13 Imagine, if you will, inviting the most reviled, hated, person in your town or city to hang out with you. Imagine there being a person that all your friends hate—despise—wouldn’t be seen giving the time of day to… …and then imagine that YOU ...read more

    Things We Need For The New Year 1 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,011 views

    As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

    But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

    "He Showed Himself Alive …” 1 Of 2

    based on 3 ratings

    The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.

    The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more

    Wise Or Otherwise

    We often hear of the dumb things that people have done that are reported on the news media.

    Illus: Let me share with you some true stories that have been reported on the news, such as: • In Chicago: A man was wanted for throwing bricks through jewelry store windows and making off with the loot. He was arrested last night after throwing a brick into a Plexiglas window...the brick bounced ...read more

    A Conversation With A Woman At The Well

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 15, 2022
     | 3,870 views

    Today we want to look at a conversation between the Lord Jesus and a woman at the well. We find this conversation recorded in the gospel of John.

    As many of you know, John is not included in the synoptic gospels. WHY? The Lord’s earthly ministry was around 3 1/2 years. • The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with the last year of His ministry. They dealt with a lot of things in His ministry, but not in much detail. • The ...read more

    How Can One Man Pay For Another's Sins? Series

    We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible, Isaiah 53. It has been called the Bible in miniature. Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

    This series is a tool to help shape your heart in preparation for Easter. Here are three brief reasons why you should rehearse the narrative of our Lord’s grief carefully: 1) Seeing Jesus’ Sorrow Lightens My Pain One cannot think long about Jesus’ agony without tears. I have personally have had ...read more

    To grow in our walk, we must learn from our failures.

    INTRODUCTION • Were you ever naive as a Christian? • Maybe you thought that after you accepted Christ, you would never sin again or that you would never struggle with failure. • We can have unrealistic expectations for ourselves as Christians: We are followers of Jesus, so naturally, the new life ...read more

    Teamwork In Transit To Jesus (2022 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 2,141 views

    The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.

    TEAMWORK IN TRANSIT TO JESUS Text: Mark 2:1-12 Mark 2:1-12  When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.  (2)  So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to ...read more

     | 5,070 views

    Jesus showed up at the Pool of Bethesda and crashed the Pool Party to heal a disabled man. The stirred waters was no match for the Living Water!

    Theme: The Day Jesus Crashed a Pool Party Text: John 5:1-9 (King James Version) After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a ...read more

    Robert Fulghum wrote an interesting book titled, “All I ever really needed to know about life, I learned in kindergarten.”

    “Learning to be Thankful” Luke 17: 11-19 Robert Fulghum wrote an interesting book titled, “All I ever really needed to know about life, I learned in kindergarten.” The book kind of intrigued me because when I was five years old, kindergarten wasn’t required – so I didn’t go.

    The Nice Antichrists Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 15, 2024
     | 920 views

    The antichrists are around all the time and many of them are very nice. If they are going to be saved our radically calling is not to be nice Christians, but sacrificially loving Christians. John teaches us how to do this.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 2:18-29 “The Nice Antichrists” When John writes his Epistles it is very clear there has been a division within the church. The division has resulted in a “them” group and an “us” group. In 1 John 2:18-29 John tells us ...read more

    A Labor Shortage

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 5, 2024

     | 7,145 views

    I want to discuss a related spiritual phenomenon that has existed for a long time and whose solution is one that I think we can all grasp and work towards. I want us to consider a spiritual labor shortage which is one that was pointed out by Jesus and continues to this day.

    TITLE: A LABOR SHORTAGE SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 9:35-38 / ST. LUKE 10:1-4 There has been a lot of talk recently about a current labor shortage, as many businesses find themselves short-staffed and unable to find or keep employees. I will defer to those with more expertise in the economic field ...read more

    Character Still Does Count Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Nov 5, 2001
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,840 views

    Character among our church leaders and those who serve in ministry gives the church credibility to share the good news of Christ with others.

    Church attendance on the Sunday after the September 11 attacks rose by 6% nationwide. However, seven weeks later, pollsters tell us that church attendance has settled back to the same level it was before the terrorist attacks. Just by way of contrast, the Sunday after President Kennedy was ...read more

    The currently popular idea of the "church of the individual" would have the apostles spinning in their graves - the local church is critical for the making of disciples and the idea of a have it your way church is in no way a good thing
