    In the first century idols were an all-pervasive and normal aspect of society which could be a spiritual distraction for Christians. Today we need to be just as much on our guard against the idols of this age.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 5:21 “Keep Yourself From Idols” In the first century AD, when people wrote letters, there was a pretty standard approach in the way the letters were structured – including the structure you used to finish your letter. ...read more

    "Is There Not A Cause...”

    Life is filled with many surprises. That is, there are times when we feel we can depend on some things and then they disappoint us. For example,

    Illus: Some of you have bought new cars because you wanted some dependable transportation. Then you found that new car, that you thought would surely be dependable, stranded you on a roadside. There are many things we have thought would be dependable that turned out not to be. Then there are ...read more

    Sermon for February 6, 2022 - John 13:1-17 This is a deeply moving passage. And it’s all the more moving when we understand the underlying message in this account.

    One Day At A Time

     | 6,290 views

    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

    Refuting The Entitled Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,052 views

    In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

    When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

    If you want to know God's will, do the will of God you already know.

    I finally came across a national church survey filled with good news from the pews! Here’s the headline from Christianity Today: “9 in 10 Evangelicals Don’t Think Sermons are Too Long.” This study also confirmed what I know to be true among the people of Edgewood: “They’d like to see more ...read more

    Advent Continues -The Inescapable Love Of God, Lighting The Candle Of Love! Series

    We keep thinking that God only loves good people, but God loves sinners. He pursues them like he asked Hosea to pursue Gomer. With a painfilled heart, God goes looking for them, He loves the whole world.

    Sermon – Advent continues -The Inescapable Love of God Scripture: Hosea 11:1-12 “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt.

    Giving To God: A Revival Is Waiting

     | 1,340 views

    We often pray and desire for revival to happen. But are we going about it in the right way? Do we know what is holding it back? Is there something practical that God says we’re not doing? There is something that God specifically points to saying, “Return to Me, and I will return to you.”

    Protecting The Saints From Scams

    Being aware of the tactics of financial scammers can help protect us from them, but we are also protected by the spiritual practices of faith, contentment, and humility.

    A. Today’s sermon is a unique one in that it is part sermon and part public service announcement. 1. I have titled the sermon: “Protecting the Saints from Scams.” 2. And that’s what I hope to do in today’s sermon – protect our church family from financial exploitation. 3. Our deacon of benevolence ...read more

    God’s love proved effective by Jesus Christ and confirmed by the presence of the Holy Spirit casts out all fear that on Judgment Day we will face the consequences of our sins all by ourselves. Perfect love casts out all fear.

    How bad is too bad? Rahab was a prostitute but she's found in the Faith chapter of the Bible. How deep and wide is grace? How far will God go and how willing is He to allow "the bad" to walk by faith?

    Have you ever had someone discover something about you that you’d rather them not know? Ben Affleck has.

    Are we waiting on God for His timing in every area of our lives? If we do not listen to God, wait on Him, and allow the Spirit of God to lead us every day we can make decisions that we will regret later.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him.
