    Angels are God's agents sent to protect us from all harm

    This year, the official feast day of St Michael and All Angels fell on 29 September. It was the Tuesday which preceded the feast of St. Francis last Sunday; we did not get to celebrate God’s angels and talk about them. There are about six hundred references to angels in the Bible, but we seldom ...read more

    Daring To Be Holy Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 4, 2025
     | 455 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

    In this crazy world, where it's rush, rush, rush, the idea of a day set apart for rest and reflection seems almost impossible. But, is it?

    What a crazy world we live in today. Do you ever feel like the Rabbit in “Alice in Wonderland”? You know the one, he’s always rushing this way and that looking at his watch and muttering, “I’m late, I’m late”. It seems that every hour of every day is filled to the limit with things that need ...read more

     | 93 views

    True strength and clarity come from worshiping God with undivided hearts, ministering to Him in prayerful devotion, and listening for the Spirit’s leading.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us came in with calendars crammed full and hearts running on low. You may feel stretched, hurried, or a little hollow. Find your seat. Breathe. The God who knows your name is near. He is not nervous, and He is not in a rush. He is here to meet with His people, and He loves ...read more

    Three Men And A Church – Now What Is The Result? – 3rd Letter Of John Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 24, 2024
     | 1,257 views

    The Apostle John wrote to his close friend Gaius, and in this short letter we read of a close friend, a wicked man, and an excellent example of a Christian testimony. They are the three men in this letter. I hope you find this instructive.

    THREE MEN AND A CHURCH – NOW WHAT IS THE RESULT? – 3rd LETTER OF JOHN Here are three glimpses of a church that could be any church but it is specific to the little group where Gaius was fellowshipping. We are going to look at three men mentioned in John’s letter to that church synonymous to ...read more

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

    Jesus gives six examples to demonstrate how a “righteousness that surpasses the Pharisees and teachers of the law” is a righteousness that avoids minimalism.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://npbc.org.au/podcasts/media Matthew 5:17-48 “We Are Not Minimalists” There is a group of people in the Bible known as the Pharisees.

    Fighting Your Bullies Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 28, 2025
     | 607 views

    Fight the bullies in your life with God’s ability, with God’s authority, and within God’s assignment.

    In his book Fuzzy Memories, Jack Handey tells the story of a bully who demanded his lunch money every day when he was a child. Because Handey was smaller than the bully, he simply gave the bully his money. “Then I decided to fight back,” Handey says. “I started taking karate lessons, but the ...read more

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 21, 2023
     | 1,185 views

    The reward of knowing the mind of God, the reward of living in the will of God, is freedom. Fear of people keeps us imprisoned; fear of God sets us free.

    At the Alpha conference I went to a few weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with a colleague on the more liberal end of our denominational spectrum. It was particularly interesting in that the Alpha program is for evangelism, and I was surprised to see someone on the other end ...read more

    The Signs of the Times Pt. 2 Mark 13:9-13 Dr. Tony Evans said, “Your expectations always affect your behavior.

    Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God.

    "What Makes Me Good Enough?" Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God.

    Jesus did not need for anyone to tell Him what men were like, because He knew men. Who could know you better than the one who created you? Jesus would not accept this crowd, because their faith was false, but this man Nicodemus was different. Jesus....
