Funeral For Jonah

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Mar 7, 2008

This is a sermon I wrote for my nephew’s funeral. Rate it if you want to but I am sharing it in part to offer an example of a funeral for a 10 year old. Also it is a tribute to my nephew. Hope you are blessed by it.

FUNERAL FOR JONAH DUECK No one can imagine what it feels like for Richard and Connie to have watched Jonah pass away. None of us here, even if you have lost someone in a similar way, can empathize with their pain. I believe it is a personal pain that is unique to them. That does not stop us from ...read more

Never In A Month Of Sundays Series

Contributed by David Hughes on Mar 14, 2008

In this message I consider what Sabbath meant to First Century Jews, how the first followers of Christ regarded Sabbath, and the implications for today’s Church.

NEVER IN A MONTH OF SUNDAYS How do you spend your Sundays? Oh, I know that you usually come to church in the morning – that’s not in question. But what else do you do on Sundays, on the Sabbath? Perhaps, you go out for a family walk; or, wash the car; or, go shopping; or, maybe even go out to ...read more

Let This Mind Be In You

Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Mar 17, 2008

An exhortation to be Christlike preached at a confirmation service

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became ...read more

The Way Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 4, 2008

The personal pursuit of righteousness is essential for every believer.

I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that ...read more

Crossover

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Feb 19, 2008

What it takes to risk that next step towards the significant life.

Last week, the banner headline of the newspapers was “Stocks plunge worldwide.” Yet, some of us still risked buying stocks on that day even if the world market is down. Because of that, you even cashed in on the slump. This morning, I would ask you to take an even greater risk that would pay an ...read more

The Fellowship Of The Church

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 20, 2007

The fellowship of the church is critical for our growth. Fellowship is all about relationships, not activity. God is in the fellowship. It is about the meeting of needs.

The moment we come to know Christ, we are connected. • We are members of God’s household. • Verse 21: “…the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.” • Verse 22 “you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” This ...read more

Offer God Your Best Series

Contributed by Steve Smith on Apr 4, 2007

So many times, we look at the end result of our purpose rather than the journey we must travel to accomplish that purpose. We must constantly give God our best so that He can use that best for His Plan, Purpose and Promise.

INTRODUCTION A. GOD’S ENVISIONED VISION FOR NHBC! As I strive to become who God desires me to be, I learn more of what Paul meant when he said, “we live by faith and not by sight”. And as a church, we also find ourselves striving to become who God has envisioned us to be. I am still not 100% ...read more

Everyone has areas of their lives that need to be made new.

Declare If You Know Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 1, 2007

Declare if you know. Interesting word, “Declare”. As in the Declaration of Independence, or the Balfour Declaration. The word suggests speaking with force and clarity, with certainty and intensity. Some folks do not declare, they merely suggest.
