    Mysterious Mercy

    Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Jul 18, 2020
     | 3,762 views

    Have you wondered about the mysterious ways of God? Others have too. This sermon talks about it.

    An old hymn I love says, “God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform He plants his footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm.” I thought about that hymn as I looked at our text for today in Genesis 21. There is a mystery about this text, which is not easy to explain. In our ...read more

     | 9,763 views

    Trust is easy in the easy times. Tragedy is when you find out if you truly trust.

    I was asked how you have trust or faith after tragedy and an hour or so later Pastor Mike asked me to speak tonight. I took that as my cue to speak on that topic. I have been through a few tragedies in my life and never thought of myself as a trauma survivor until I was trained to ...read more

    The mark of the church is reality. What is said and done is a true reflection of what they are inwardly.

    President Harry Truman enjoyed telling the story about a man who was hit on the head at work. The blow was so severe that he was knocked unconscious for an extended period. His family was convinced that he was dead. The funeral home was called, and the undertaker picked him up at the hospital. ...read more

    All over the world, humans eat bread. In nearly every culture on earth, bread is a basic part of life. This morning, we have come to the part of the Lord’s Prayer that focuses on bread.

    Daily Bread Matthew 6:11 Pastor Jefferson Williams First Baptist Church of Chenoa 3-17-19 Roti In America, we like bread. We use it in sandwiches and dinner rolls.

     | 8,848 views

    We must be willing to witness for the Lord… 1. Because God has given us a great call (vs. 1-6). 2. Because it will bring great comfort (vs. 7-12). 3. Because there are great consequences (vs. 13-15). 4. Because we have great confidence in the gospel (vs. 16-17).

    Led By Love

    Contributed by Robert Osborne on Aug 22, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,301 views

    Never once did Jesus fail in this, not in his heartbreak or his anger, not in his joy or his betrayal. Jesus Led By Love. His default has always been love! He led with love because He was led by love! I believe it’s time for the church to be “Led By Love” so we can lead with love!

    The last months and most recently the last few weeks have been pretty challenging for us all. I heard one pastor say that this has been the toughest season he's ever led through from leading through this COVID 19, the political insanity, the news insanity, to the most recent events of the ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 31, 2020
     | 3,975 views

    As we continue to discover the way that lament works, we discover that after turning to God, and bringing our complaints to God, the next step is to bring our requests to God. God wants to hear our bold requests.

    A. The story is told about a little boy who liked to ask the blessing before his family’s meals. 1. One day, he asked to say the prayer and was given permission to say it. 2.

     | 8,889 views

    There’s only one object, however, from what I can tell, in all the history of the Bible, that God routinely attached his presence to – the Ark of the Covenant.

    The Aim of This Series Today, we continue a series designed to show you what happens when God shows up. All of this series is devoted to what theologians call a theophany. A theophany literally means “to show God.” These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a ...read more

    Joseph’s life is a roller coaster ride with incredible highs and depressing lows. Last week we saw the first “big dip” and this week – sold into slavery and falsely accused Today, we observe the second “big dip” in the life of Joseph, forgotten in prison.

    The story acts like a mini-novel tucked away at the end of Genesis. With every turn of the page, you find yourself saying, “You’re not going to believe what happens next!” Joseph’s life is a roller coaster ride with incredible highs and depressing lows. Last week we saw the first “big dip” and this ...read more

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 2,957 views

    One of the things I love about this prayer is that it doesn’t pretend there aren’t real problems around us. It confronts the real needs in the world – pain and hunger. The Lord’s Prayer is designed to change our priorities and to reverse our thinking.

    This is the fourth message for us to look at the Lord’s Prayer. And it’s the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. One story stands out about the importance of the Lord’s Prayer in the life of a Christian is from a gentleman who attends at NRH, Mike O’Neil. Mike ...read more

    If you're going to keep the faith, it's necessary to keep the love of Christ as well, especially for one another, and some folks who are likely to be neglected or forgotten. The lifestyle choice is between worldly lust and Christ-lke love.

    In nearly every area of life, we perform better when we know our purpose. God wants you to know your purpose in life as a believer in Christ. God Almighty wants you to know your “why.”

    What’s my purpose in life? Something inside of us craves knowing our purpose in life. All of us ask this question - Why am I here? Studies show knowing one’s purpose is a powerful source of motivation in life. Get this: researchers have shown that when you stress “why we are doing this” to people, ...read more
