    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 14, 2025
     | 502 views

    Through God, who established Jesus as the cornerstone, we have been given an identity which stops us from stumbling.

    You can listen to the sermons of NPBC at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 Peter 2:4-10 “Those Who Don’t Stumble” (Written for Sermon Central to fill a gap in this series on 1 & 2 Peter) Who am I?

    A Tale From The Crypt Series

     | 579 views

    When Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb, he wasn't just offering him life, he was giving him freedom.

    It was so dark, and so cold. He had no idea where he was, how long he had been there or what he was supposed to be doing. The last thing he remembered was being at home in bed. He had been sick; nobody knew what to do or even what was wrong. The doctors had come and gone leaving behind potions and ...read more

    WE BELIEVE man and woman were created good and upright in the image of God. However, sin entered the world by their voluntary disobedience leading to humankind’s separation from God both physically and spiritually

    INTRODUCTION Who are we? What are we doing here? What is our purpose? One of the hardest questions to answer then counselling nowadays is what is my purpose in life? Many people look around at the world and say there has to be more than what I see and what I feel and if life is more than all of ...read more

    Forgiveness: Letting Go And Living Free

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 9, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 362 views

    This sermon calls believers to reflect God’s heart by forgiving others—even those who have deeply wounded them—releasing bitterness, trusting God’s justice, and finding freedom through the cross where Christ first forgave us.

    Letting Go and Living Free How do you forgive someone who’s taken everything from you? The Rwandan genocide stands as one of the most devastating atrocities of the 20th century. Over the span of just 100 days in 1994, nearly one million people—primarily Tutsis and moderate Hutus—were brutally ...read more

    Psalm 119:1-8 teaches us that God’s covenant blessing is found in God’s word.

    Introduction There were two notable men in Scottish ecclesiastical history with the same name: George Wishart. The first George Wishart (1513 - 1546) was a Scottish Protestant Reformer and one of the early Protestant martyrs who was burned at the stake on March 1, 1546. The second George Wishart ...read more

     | 326 views

    Through the Spirit, God sets us free and welcomes us into His family.

    Motherhood is a gift. It’s beautiful, it’s demanding, and it’s one of the clearest pictures we have of sacrificial love. Whether it’s through birth, adoption, foster care, mentorship, or spiritual motherhood—so many women have poured themselves out in ways that reflect the heart of God. And today, ...read more

    Daring To Be Holy Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 4, 2025
     | 478 views

    From the story of Samson we see the importance of being born to be set apart, staying set apart and recognizing the Lord's presence.

    DARING TO BE HOLY I heard the story of a man who was remembering that when he was a boy, he had a brother that collected baseball cards. The brother had some cheap regular cards that they played with. However, being a serious collector, he also had some that were very valuable. Those did not ...read more

    The Choices We Make Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 7, 2025
     | 976 views

    In Colossians chapter 3, Paul tells us that there isn't a multitude of choices to be made, there are only two. Will your take off the old and put on the new. Or won't you

    Colossians Your Choice I have a confession to make. I have way too many shirts. I don’t know what it is, but I have a closet full of shirts. Now before you judge me about being fiscally irresponsible, I’m also a Frenchie’s shopper. For years, when I was at my heaviest, I found it difficult to find ...read more

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 428 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

    Colossians: Household Rules Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 21, 2025
     | 446 views

    This passage contains the dreaded "S" word, submit. But what did that mean 2000 years ago in Colossa and what does it mean for us today.

    It was a struggle; I was thinking that this week I would preach from Colossians 4:5–6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. I thought that I would ...read more

    The Temple Of Doom

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2025
     | 543 views

    The original Temple of Doom has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but with the biblical Hercules SAMSON, who, despite blindness, with one blow, took out more Philistines in his death than in his life!

    THE TEMPLE OF DOOM Judges 16:18-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage. The first man went to the sage’s home and told his version of what happened. When he finished, the ...read more

    Idol Minds

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025
     | 146 views

    Idols seduce the mind and steal the heart, but Christ alone dethrones every false god and restores true worship, freedom, and identity.

    INTRODUCTION — THE ALTAR IN THE MIND If there is one truth humanity proves in every century, in every culture, in every language, it is this: We never stop worshiping. You can strip away temples, rituals, church buildings, religious vocabulary— you can call yourself modern, enlightened, ...read more

    Can You Hear Me Now? Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 22, 2025
     | 409 views

    Hearing Jesus requires quieting distractions, cultivating stillness, recognizing His whisper, and aligning life around the Shepherd’s voice that restores clarity, peace, and direction.

    There is a moment in every believer’s life when you sense that something is off. You believe in God. You know the stories. You’ve prayed prayers. You’ve stood in worship. You’ve read your Bible. You’ve walked the Christian path long enough to recognize its contours. And yet — a quiet ache grows in ...read more

    1. Message In 2 Peter – Number 1 – Learning From False Teachers – Part 1 (2 Peter 2:13) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 27, 2025
     | 158 views

    Before Peter passed to be with the Lord, he set out for the scattered Christians, pointers to recognise and refute false teachers who were gaining traction among Christians. He exposed these subversive agents of the devil. I am examining them, then adding cautions so we don’t follow.

    1. MESSAGE IN 2 PETER – NUMBER 1 – LEARNING FROM FALSE TEACHERS – PART 1 (2 PETER 2:13) [1]. LEARNING FROM FALSE TEACHERS - INTRODUCTION The parable of the Tares showed that after the good seed was sown by the Lord and His Apostles, very soon, Satan would launch the counter attack in his ...read more
