    Are The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit The Same Essence?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 25, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,693 views

    In the church, a lot of confusing language is used to try and explain or define things.

    Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more

    The average American's New Year's resolution(s) last only 32 days. This morning, we're going to talk about a resolution I think we can all get behind and take to heart—living for God.

    Dear gracious and heavenly Father, thank you for today—a new year! Thank you for all you did in and through us in 2022. We are thankful and proud of our accomplishments, both individually and as a church, but…help us look forward toward the future. Give us the wisdom now to use the guidance You ...read more

    Sometimes Be Inhospitable Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 20, 2024
     | 537 views

    There are times when Christians can be inhospitable towards those who are seeking to deceive. Are we welcoming and giving credibility to those who are trying to make us question that Jesus is the Christ.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 2 John 1-13 “Sometimes Be Inhospitable” A foundation interpretive principle of Scripture is that Scripture will never contradict Scripture. While this interpretive principle is always true … there are many occasions where ...read more

    The Way Of The Pilgrim

    Contributed by Norbert Garcia on Aug 23, 2024
     | 1,075 views

    To be a Christian requires us to be fully involved in our relationship with Christ. If we truly believe we should be able to show how different we are to the world around us. The more we immerse ourselves with Christ the more we glow with an inner light.

    THE WAY OF THE PILGRIM 2 Cor 5:17 Every year since 650 AD Muslims celebrate the Hajj. The Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca. According to Islamic beliefs every devout Muslim must attend at least one Hajj in their lifetime if they wish to guarantee their arrival in Paradise upon their death. This ...read more

    Burning Fever Be Gone!

     | 628 views

    The Bible teaches us that sin is an infection leading to a terrible fever; an infection that must be cleansed through the washing of water by the word and by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. He heals both spiritual and physical illnesses.

    “In 1818, Ignaz Phillip Semmelweis was born into a world of dying women. The finest hospitals lost one out of six young mothers to the scourge of ‘childbed fever.’ A doctor’s daily routine began in the dissecting room where he performed autopsies. From there he made his way to the hospital to ...read more

     | 620 views

    We don't hear the word covet a lot this days, but being greedy is pretty close. This message looks at why we shouldn't be greedy.

    A Sunday school teacher was asking her class if anyone knew what the Tenth Commandment was, to which a little boy responded, “You must not take the covers off your neighbour’s wife.” Pretty close. Well, here we are—the last week of our series, A Return to Civility. When we started the series in ...read more

    Our Problem--The Divine Diagnosis Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021
     | 2,064 views

    Something obviously is wrong with life, and this world. Just exactly what is it? God's Word gives us the divine diagnosis beginning in Romans 1:18-20.

    As I was about to write my message this past week, I read an unusual editorial on the Orange County Editorial page. It was congratulating a politician on being boring. Actually, it was congratulating a California state office holder for being scandal-free in the midst of a sea of scandals rocking ...read more

    Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021
     | 3,444 views

    I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

    In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more

    Faith is pure trust in the ability and will of God to perform his promises in your life. We prove our faith is alive through works of righteousness. Just believe, hear and obey His Word and leave the rest to the Lord.

    Do You Really Have Faith? Sunday, March 17, 2019 By Rev James May Let us begin this morning by reading a very familiar verse to anyone who is a Christian. I know you’ve read this very often and yet its true meaning is often elusive, leaving you to think about what it says, and to consider how it ...read more

    THE TRIAL OF THE AGES MARK 14:53-65 If you are old enough, you probably remember where you were on June 17th, 1994.

    IDENTIFYING SPIRITS Text: 1 John 4:1-6 Introduction 1. Discernment in Scripture is the skill that enables us to differentiate. It is the ability to see issues clearly. We desperately need to cultivate this spiritual skill that will enable us to know right from wrong. We must be prepared to ...read more

    Give Me Patience ... Now! Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 31, 2019
     | 5,155 views

    It is always a bad idea to try to accomplish God’s plan in your own way and by your own timing. God’s plans come complete with His methods and His timing, and when we get impatient and try to tinker with that … well, everything gets all messed up.

    “Don’t pray for patience.” Who hasn’t heard that before, amen? It’s almost become an axiom when it comes to prayer, hasn’t it? Some of you, I suspect, believe it and have even advised someone in your family or one of your friends not to pray for patience. I disagree. I pray for patience all ...read more
