Faith is not built in isolation. It is shaped by the people, stories, and moments that come before us, and it is meant to be passed forward. Every time God shows up in your life, every testimony you hear, and every story of Scripture you receive is a deposit into what can be called a bank of testimonies. When hard times come, you can draw from that bank and remind yourself that God has been…
Since the beginning, humanity has faced a fundamental choice between two ways of living: one sourced in God and one sourced in self. The Tree of Life represents a life of grace, faith, and dependence on God, while the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represents self-reliance and the belief that we must earn what only God can freely give. Many of the patterns of bondage we experience,…
The greatest battle every Christian faces is not physical, relational, or financial. It is the battle of the mind. Before the enemy attacks your marriage, your ministry, or your purpose, he attacks your thinking first. His primary weapon is deception, and if he can influence your thoughts, he can influence your choices, your direction, and ultimately your destiny. God has equipped believers with…
Freedom is not just a political concept. It is a spiritual reality that every believer has been called to walk in through Jesus Christ. The enemy works to keep Christians from living in that freedom by using lies to build strongholds that distort their true identity. Truth is not what your past says, your failures say, or what others have spoken over you. Truth is what God says about you. In…
Fatherhood is one of the most spiritually contested roles a person can hold, but God has fully equipped every believer for the fight. Drawing from Ephesians 6, the armor of God is not symbolic decoration. It is real spiritual equipment for real spiritual warfare. The enemy targets fathers and families because a disconnected or defeated father distorts the image of a Heavenly Father for children.…
Many of us carry false beliefs about ourselves that don't align with how God sees us, keeping us trapped in cycles of shame and fear. Christ set us free not just from sin, but for freedom itself - to become who He's called us to be and fulfill the dreams He's placed in our hearts. These bondages often come from negative words spoken over us or traumatic experiences that create destructive cycles…
The small things in our spiritual lives matter tremendously to God. Just as basketball coach John Wooden taught players to properly put on socks and shoes before focusing on advanced skills, we must master spiritual fundamentals. In Acts 1, the disciples demonstrated three crucial elements before receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost: obedience to Jesus' instructions, unity of heart and purpose,…
There are close to 1000 names and descriptive words used to express God in the Bible. Through this message, Pastor Chris focuses on Lord of Peace, Healer and the name of Jesus. Here 3 testimonies that speak to the three names.
Control your money, do not let it control you. When it comes to money, it is all about the posture of your heart. Are their aspects of your finances that you need to take to God?
"Wrong thoughts are like weeds. If we don’t control them they take over. Treat every thought as you would a plant. If it is worthy, water it. If not, remove it. And remember flowers or weeds start as seeds. What you allow to grow will determine what you get."
We have built NCC to make disciples. Disciples that will go to all the world and make more disciples. D.L. Moody says "It is better to train ten people to do the work of the ministry, than for you to do the work of ten people in ministry." But it is harder. It may be harder to do it the way the Lord has called us to do it but this is the way we are going. We will disciple you and others coming in…
Why Do We Disciple? So that we can prophesy by the Spirit and the breath of God will cause us to live. So we can come into unity, and walk in a manner worthy of our calling.
One of the greatest privileges we get as followers of Jesus Christ today is the privilege to be part of His Church... His Body. One of the greatest responsibilities we have is selecting the local church He wants us to be a part of!
"When God created family He did so with great purpose in mind: to be a living picture of His love to all people, to be a safe place to grow, to be a place of relationship and intimacy, and to be a place of health."
Pastor Barry Cross brings an amazing word all the way from England. This message is an encouragement in the midst of the journey God has called each of us to.
