    The Nice Antichrists Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 15, 2024
     | 770 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

     | 625 views

    The prophet Jeremiah heard a message from another man who claimed to be a prophet. His name was Hananiah, but the LORD knew he was a false prophet. Jeremiah, in turn, gave Hananiah a message from the LORD.

    The False Prophet Hananiah Introduction: False prophets—those who prophesy in the name of any “god” or “goddess” besides the One True and Living God—have been a problem since Old Testament days. Whether it was the serpent in Eden lying to Eve about not dying, to those who teach false doctrines ...read more

    Living Under The Influence Of The Spirit Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Feb 17, 2025
     | 843 views

    Being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn't have to do with having more of the Holy Spirit, rather it has to do with allowing the Spirit to have more of us. It is about cooperating with the Spirit and allowing the Spirit to be in control.

    Introduction: A. I want to begin today’s sermon with an old story, which is a legend of unknown origin that has appeared in many forms over the years, but teaches an important principle. 1. Once there was a grandfather who was talking with his grandson. 2. The grandfather said, “In life, there are ...read more

    Preaching For Maturity Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 13, 2024
     | 360 views

    The preaching on Sundays and on all other occasions is purposed to bring souls to Christ and leading them into maturity. Where there is spirit, there is freedom. As Jesus declared the purpose of preaching, we preach to the liberty of others.

    Theme: The Purpose of Preaching Text: Colossians 1:28-29 Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. Paul, a Prisoner. At the end of Paul’s third missionary journey he stayed in Corinth (Acts 20:2, 1 Corinthians 16:6).  During this time, he wrote an epistle to the Romans ...read more

    Sovereignty And Salvation: The Hand & Heart Of God

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Aug 19, 2024
     | 388 views

    If I understand God’s hand in and heart towards creation, I can choose to trust Him to rule over my life and remain under His protection. I know that He loves me and only wants the best for me and that His plan for my life is good and perfect.

    Last Sunday, we began looking at the topic of God’s sovereignty which talks about the preeminence, power, and authority of God. Today we will be speaking on the Sovereignty of God and Salvation: The Hand and Heart of God. Studying the doctrine of sovereignty helps us to make sense of evil and what ...read more

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 29, 2024
     | 956 views

    Human sinfulness causes many to choose darkness over the Light, to run from God instead of running to Him. Believers should embrace God's Light.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light Scripture Lesson: John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him ...read more

    I want us to dig deeper into the subject of faith this morning to see how faith impacts our daily lives.

    We hear of faith preached, we are taught about faith, and we speak of faith. I want us to dig deeper into the subject of faith this morning to see how faith impacts our daily lives. When we become a Christian, God gives us a measure of faith. Jesus reminded us that it doesn't take a lot of ...read more

    Restoring God's Masterpiece Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 25, 2023

     | 6,324 views

    Sin marred and disfigured God's masterpiece. But the Bible is one long narrative of how God sought to restore that which was damaged. Has God completely restored His masterpiece now... or is that yet to happen?

    OPEN: One of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous paintings was called “The Last Supper.” It was painted on the wall of the Sistine Chapel, and Da Vinci was sure that the unique painting style he used would create a masterpiece that would last forever. It didn’t quite work out that way. The painting ...read more

    Live As Children Of Light

    Contributed by Mathew Philip on Mar 27, 2023
     | 2,417 views

    Light is just as necessary in our spiritual life as it is in our physical life. In the spiritual realm, darkness means whatever is contrary to the God.

    Paul started the chapter saying that the goal of the Christian life is perfect imitation of God. Paul is exhorting the believers in Jesus Christ to "Live as children of light." (Ephesians 5:8) because God is light. The apostle John said that one day, “we shall be like him, because we ...read more

    What You Do, Verses, What You Believe.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 9, 2022
     | 1,144 views

    Remember this, telling people what they are doing wrong does not give them the power to stop doing it. The law is powerless to give life; only by the life of Jesus Christ can we overcome sin.

    What You Do, Verses, What You Believe. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11NLT In his book Spiritual Burnout, Malcolm Smith tells the story of a drug addict he minister to. Hector had been a heavy drug abuser before he came to know the Lord. He had a ...read more

    Traveling over a 1,000 miles thru hostile tribes, broad rivers, & trackless deserts, only by night, risking death or slavery, three SEEKERS risked everything to meet Jesus. The Holy Spirit led them until they came face to face with God!

    THE THREE SEEKERS Mt. 2:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR #1 1. This week I heard about a minister who delivered a sermon in twenty minutes one Sunday morning -- about half the usual length of his sermons. 2. He told his congregation, “Sorry my sermon is so short, but my dog, who is fond of eating ...read more
