    On Memorial Day as well as the Fourth of July, our minds drift to the Patriotism of those who have given their all for our freedom. And, we think, we should be more like them and their love for our country.

    In This Together

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 11, 2012
     | 9,665 views

    What do we think of Church? Are we the unified body that Paul discusses Christ had called it to be or are we caught up in what we define of as a "church"? We, as a body of believers, should be in this together to glorify God.

    Text: 1 Cor 16:19-20, Title: In This Together, Date/Place: NRBC, 6.10.12, PM 1. Opening illustration: Mackenzie and I having the conversation about household chores, and me saying, “Oh, no, we are all in this thing together” 2.

    based on 8 ratings
     | 12,630 views

    This sermon is second in a series of "Open Doors". The theme is one of God who, no matter how far we think He is from us, no matter how far we have strayed, He is there to open a door of hope.

    THE DOOR OF HOPE Hosea 2:14-23 “Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her. I will give her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope; she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she ...read more

     | 3,896 views

    Gizmos, gadgets, trappings, add-ons, etc. are really optional, but so many of us have come to think that we cannot live without them. The problem is that it becomes like the proverbial "straw that broke the camels' back".

    Paraphernalia--furnishings and apparatuses, (add-ons) to enhance or give more options to a thing. Synonyms-embellishments, accessories, trappings, adornments, gizmos, do-dads We are in the middle of a Personal Pampering Pandemic Heb. 12;1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so ...read more

    Never discount your talents or abilities, never be discouraged about your worth or usefulness in the kingdom. You may think you can't contribute very much, but even small things are important in the kingdom of God.

    On April 14, 1970, 56 hours into the Apollo 13 mission, astronaut Jack Swigert was asked by mission control to “stir” the oxygen tanks. Within minutes there was an explosion and the race was on to save the lives of the men on that spacecraft. Here’s what happened. The no. 2 ...read more

    God always thinks about our future before we are even aware of our future need. By the time the Israelites cried to God, God had already started working on a plan to deliver them from their misery.

    Exodus 2:23 -25 “During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God ...read more

    Often we think of our strength, ability and education. We boast of our heritage and many other things. What about God and His role in our Life. Don't forget the grace of God.

    2 Sam. 7:1-4 v.1. Settled-Rest from all his enemies Will Satan leave you to enjoy the life on earth? He got permission to tempt Job(1:7-12).

    It is important for us to note Judas was a man of promise. I think Jesus saw a great potential in him. In Judas He saw someone who could have been used in a mighty way in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

    TITLE: A CHEAP KISS SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 26:14-16 / 47-50 We continue our “MARCH TOWARD CALVARY” during this Lenten Season. On last Sunday we considered the thought “JUDAS ISCARIOT: SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR.” I pray we were blessed by the message. This morning I want to continue, perhaps a Part ...read more

    Have you ever driven by a medical facility and notice the symbol of a snake on a pole and wonder what are they thinking or what does that symbol mean. The truths in this teaching helps you overcome the adulterated view which is blinding many.

    Snake On A Pole A Biblical Perspective Have you ever driven by a medical facility and notice the symbol of a snake on a pole and wonder what are they thinking or what does that symbol mean.

    The Secret To Purity Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 7,903 views

    We need to filter out those things that will affect our thinking and then we need to make sure we test our thoughts and motives against the highest demands of the Kingdom, that is, inner purity and godly love.

    I wonder how many of you have been watching the series “Meet the Amish” on SBS over the last 4 weeks. It’s been fascinating to watch a group of Amish young people experiencing the wider world after living a very sheltered life surrounded by a family and community dedicated to ...read more

     | 4,370 views

    We want (maybe even expect) forgiveness from God; but when it comes to giving forgiveness, it is harder than we might think. Jesus reminds us that our receiving forgiveness hinges on our giving of it.

    Introduction If someone should ask you what is one thing that you can think of to thank Jesus for this morning? What would be your answer?

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 18, 2013
     | 6,510 views

    Satan is a con artist. He's the best. The reason people refuse to deny themselves to follow Jesus is because satan deceives them into thinking they don't have to. God and Satan are enemies, and the creation of God is the battlefield

    In the beginning of human history God warned Adam and Eve about a certain tree in the Garden and that they were forbidden to eat the fruit of this tree.

     | 13,638 views

    We can grow casual about God's Grace, and we can think we can earn it. Grace is examined by looking at the Christians in Corinth and in Galatia, and examining their differences and similarities in how Paul writes to them.

    I’ve Grown Accustomed to His Grace Dr. R.C. Sproul, a famous radio preacher, was assigned an Old Testament class of 250 freshmen. In his syllabus he clearly set forth the course requirements.
