How To Overcome The Matrix: What Is The Matrix? How Do We Escape The Matrix?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 3, 2021

Do you want to know what it is? The matrix? It seems like you do. Something brought you here. Something within you that longs for something more.

Do you want to know what it is? The matrix? It seems like you do. Something brought you here. Something within you that longs for something more. So what exactly is the matrix? The matrix is the grid of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, customs, philosophies, and unspoken codes that manipulate us into ...read more

Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021

Abraham and his household moved to another area. What happened when they met this new king looks very similar to something they had tried many years before. It didn't work in this new location, either.

Introduction: After the events of Genesis 19, Abraham left Mamre/Hebron and journeyed southwest towards the Mediterranean Sea. He entered the land of the Philistines and settled at Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur. While there, he told the same lie about Sarah; only to a different king (compare this ...read more

The Remarkable Rainbow Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

There are rainbows everywhere, but the most amazing rainbow on record is the one the Apostle John saw in heaven. Here is the only permanent rainbow that exists. They fade so fast on earth, but this one is part of the furniture of heaven. It is part of the presence of God.

I never realized how many rainbows there are in the world, until our trip to the West Coast. We would get up early to travel before the Sun came up. When it did come up it was at out back, and it was at just the right angle when we went past the irrigation systems. The light of the Sun hit that ...read more

Romantic And Religious Kisses Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

Kissing is a powerful reality in both romance and religion. The greatest kiss of all is God's kiss of peace, which He gives to all who receive His Son as Savior.

The story is told, and it could very well be true, of a Danish couple who decided to break off their engagement. "It is best I suppose that we give back each others letters," he said. She agreed, and replied, "We should at the same time return each others kisses." By the time ...read more

Heaven's Hallelujah Chorus Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

What we have here in Rev.19 is the heartiest, happiest, holiest, heavenliest Hallelujah Chorus of all times. The whole universe of beings is roaring with rejoicing, and shouting with a song of supreme satisfaction.

It is a good thing God enjoys laughter because some of life's funniest moments happen in church. Carolyn Crane tells about how her husband Dan stood up for the final hymn one Sunday, and his foot had gone to sleep; it buckled under him, and he fell sideways into the aisle. Two men came ...read more

God Is A God Of Wrath Attributes Of God (10 Od 10 Sermons)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022

As we continue to learn what kind of God the God of the Bible is we will preach about one last attribute.

So far, we have preached about God's being holy, immutable, love, jealous, orderly, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Bible reveals all these attributes to us because God wants us to come to know Him. He knows we cannot WORSHIP and SERVE Him if we do not KNOW Him. Now, if I was a ...read more

Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more

Be Ready For Christ's Return

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 12, 2024

God has sounded the warning time and time again. And each year that warning is louder than ever before: Judgment is coming, but there is a way out through Jesus Christ.

Alba 2-11-2024 BE READY FOR CHRIST'S RETURN I Thessalonians 5:1-11 Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish theologian and philosopher of the 1800's, once told the story of a variety show in a crowded theater with various acts. Each act was more fantastic than the one prior, so it created louder and ...read more

How To Grow In Kingdom Character Series

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jan 30, 2023

If you want to grow in kingdom character then you must pray for it, pray persistently for it, pray in faith for it, and imitate God's love.

Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has been teaching his disciples the principles for kingdom living. He began with the beatitudes, which describes the characteristics of someone who is truly born again, and they’re progression toward godliness. They come to the Lord poor in spirit, ...read more

The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 1 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 12, 2023

Does the penalty need to be paid twice? We begin to look at the fact that the Church does not enter the Tribulation; look at the facts and evidence that it does not happen. We have been delivered from wrath that is coming.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 1 OF 3 INTRODUCTION I find it reprehensible, the claim that the Church, and Christians of course, will enter the Tribulation. Why do I find it reprehensible? If you think Christians must enter into the Tribulation, even ...read more

The Nice Antichrists Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 15, 2024

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

Cedar, Hyssop, And National Security

Contributed by David Western on Nov 19, 2025

Just as a general once showed me a car I thought was spotless still carried an odor, Leviticus 14 reminds us that God sees what we cannot—and through cedar, hyssop, and scarlet, He reveals the only cleansing that reaches the heart.

“Get Me a Car That Doesn’t Stink”** When I was a captain at the Air Force Academy, I had the honor—and the anxiety—of escorting General Hornburg, the ACC Commander, during a visit for Corona. That was when all the generals came together for a high-level meeting, and it was the kind of event where ...read more

Love Thinks No Evil

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 22, 2025

If a person stores up every slight and every hurt that has happened to them, it only results in more misery. It solves nothing. If daily the mind is thinking of the evil that the person believes has happened to them, keeping a record of every wrong, it leaves no room for love.

Alba 12-21-2025 LOVE THINKS NO EVIL I Corinthians 13:5 Glynda Lomax said she once knew a woman whose heart had been broken by disappointing relationships. She became very sarcastic towards the opposite sex and could often be overheard making disparaging remarks about them. It always surprised ...read more

You don’t have to earn God’s love—He gives it freely by grace. Stop striving, and rest in the gift of His love.

### **I. Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 1 The world is full of lies. And sadly, many times the lies of the world are believed and become our truth.
