    Part two of a three part series for parents and grandparents on teaching respect for God, Others, Self and Leaders.

    April 14, 2002 Last week we began our current series on "Help For the Home" by laying down two statements upon which we agreed were necessary for helping our children become better examples of "salt and light" for our community: 1. Lack of respect is epidemic in our society. 2. We must do ...read more

    Preventing A Spiritual Tragedy Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 30, 2024
     | 559 views

    Ever wished you could have prevented a great tragedy? Just as there are great physical tragedies with lasting consequence, so there are great spiritual tragedies with eternal consequence. The Apostle Paul seeks to prevent a great spiritual tragedy in the fledgling church at Corinth, Greece.

    How many of you here have been associated with a preventable tragedy? What I'm talking about here are bad things that happened to people you knew or know which could have been prevented. These bad things would not have happened if someone hadn't been ignorant or naïve, or ...read more

     | 2,625 views

    5 of 5. Paul highlighted the necessity of self-giving love to the proper outworking of Christian living. Self-giving love is essential to true Christianity, but How or in What ways is it essential? As A Christian, the Love of God must Humble my...

    The LOVE Of GOD-V—1Corinthians 13:1-13 Attention: In general people have a similar & genuine confusion about the meaning of love, & what it means to serve a ‘loving’ God. They suppose themselves to be ‘eating from’ the best that ‘love’ has to offer, when in reality they don’t have the ...read more

    How Paul Died To The Flesh

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Mar 6, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,050 views

    Dying to self, dying to the flesh, are not particularly popular concepts today, even in the church. But the apostle Paul is a great example of doing just that, and his accomplishments are legendary. How did he die to self?

    Intro: I’m beginning to understand why it is easier just to avoid the book of Acts. 1. not all the geography or history. 2. but the example of the Apostle Paul that scares the living daylights out of us. 3. here we find Paul on his last journey, sailing and walking steadfastly to imprisonment and ...read more

     | 1,667 views

    Christianity cures our self-focus by giving us something greater to focus on in our lives. What I mean is that dying to your self and living for Christ completes and renews your entire life.

    When What God Asks Seems To Be Too Much Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 22, 2024
     | 1,198 views

    This passage challenges the self-centered "gospel of self-fulfillment" that is too often proclaimed today. What does it mean that God wants us to focus on the "gospel of kingdom fulfillment"?

    A HARSH STORY: God gives Ezekiel a task that overwhelms him. - Ezekiel 3:14-15. - 2 Corinthians 1:8-11; 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, 16-18. - This is a tough story and it’s going to lead us in this sermon to some difficult points. - We’ve been talking for the first two sermons in this series about the ...read more

    Different Roles, Same Assignment

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021
     | 6,847 views

    There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

    Over the years, I’ve known Christians who, because they didn’t have public ministries, believed that they were, somehow, second tier to those who did. They were not preaching. They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more

    Without a conscious decision to make God the most important part of your life - without the Helmet of Salvation - you allow the devil to attack your unprotected mind, and you WILL be deceived.

    The Helmet of Salvation [Read Ephesians 6:10-18] How many of you are bothered by the demons in Hell this morning?

    Your First And Highest Calling

    God is faithful. That is, God is true, and constant, and will adhere to his promises. He will not deceive. He will not promise, and then fail to perform; he will not commence anything which he will not perfect and finish.

    Your First and Highest Calling "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." -- (1 Corinthians 1:9) God is faithful.

    Why would C.S. Lewis use a "white witch" to depict the evil of Satan? And what can we learn from Satan’s attempt to deceive Jesus in the desert?

    The Goodness Of God

     | 42,938 views

    As James talks to us in James 1 about not being deceived, he gives us some reasons that we can know that God is good no matter what our circumstances.

    In the mid to late 90’s people in the church began to say God is good--- all the time--- all the time---God is good. It’s easy to proclaim and to shout aloud the goodness of God when things are going great! It’s easy to brag on Jesus when people are coming to know Christ in large ...read more

    There are times when Christians can be inhospitable towards those who are seeking to deceive. Are we welcoming and giving credibility to those who are trying to make us question that Jesus is the Christ.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 2 John 1-13 “Sometimes Be Inhospitable” A foundation interpretive principle of Scripture is that Scripture will never contradict Scripture.
