    In the first century idols were an all-pervasive and normal aspect of society which could be a spiritual distraction for Christians. Today we need to be just as much on our guard against the idols of this age.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 5:21 “Keep Yourself From Idols” In the first century AD, when people wrote letters, there was a pretty standard approach in the way the letters were structured – including the structure you used to finish your letter. ...read more

     | 773 views

    As followers of Jesus, we face a daily choice between living for the kingdom of culture or the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God brings love, grace, and hope, while the kingdom of culture often focuses on power and control.

    Today, we're going to talk about a cool story from the Bible that has a lot to do with the choices we make every day. It's about two kingdoms colliding and the tough decisions that come with it. So, let's dive in! Our story comes from John 18:28-39. It's about Jesus being brought before Pontius ...read more

    Just as a body has many parts, each with a role to play, so it is with the body of Christ. We need each other, and when we come together, we are stronger than any individual part.

    Imagine a puzzle. Each piece is different, right? Some have straight edges, some are curvy, and they all have different colors and patterns. But when you put them all together, they create a beautiful picture. Now, what if all the pieces were the same? You'd just have a boring, blank puzzle. It's ...read more

     | 1,632 views

    The Ten Commandments are central to Western Civilization. There has been much commentary on them. But what does it mean for us?

    No Other gods Before Me: An Exposition of Exodus 20:1-6 We begin this morning a series on the Ten Commandments with a study of the first two commandments. There are actually more than ten commandments if one breaks apart the second commandment and separate the prohibition making of graven images ...read more

    The Fog - Hide And Seek Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 19, 2023
     | 1,549 views

    The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!

    The Fog Chapter 4 - “Hide and Seek?” Illustration: Have you ever played Hide and Seek – I have with my grandkids – Deklan is the funniest because where he hides is usually in the same place and if you listen you can hear him singing – he loves to sing – at our summer blast I put him on the ponies, ...read more

    Evangelization--Sacred Vs Secular Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 31, 2015
     | 3,275 views

    The pope encourages us to understand that non-Western cultures are suspicious of Christian evangelization because they confuse it with the spread of secularism and the culture of death.

    Thursday of the 4th Week in Course 2015 Light of the Gospel St. Mark’s Gospel is rarely verbose. He always tells the story of Jesus using an economy of words, perhaps because the Church of Rome was too poor to supply him much in the way of writing supplies, or because it was often ...read more

     | 4,534 views

    The Western church as lost the understanding of what it means to properly engage in meditation and it is time for us to rediscover it.

    Our communication with God must be enhanced if we are to truly reach the level of relationship that we long for. As a part of that process, it is essential that we recognize that the ancient art of mediation has been lost to the Western church. We see mediation as nothing more than a corrupt and ...read more

Men’s Prayer Retreat April 2003 We’ve talked and studied a lot about prayer here this weekend and, as we draw toward the conclusion of our special retreat time, I ask, “What is prayer for?” Is prayer to get from God?

    Usury & Extortion

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 16, 2024
     | 701 views

    Why do western banks engage in usury and extortion? Why do Christians go along with it without trying to change this practice?

    One of the earliest principles of money lending is a law against usury. If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest. (Exodus 22:25 NKJV) This is the exact opposite of how western banks operate today. ...read more
