December 22, 2024 | The Gift | Acts 3; Romans 10; Matt 16 God created you for a relationship with Him, but it was interrupted by sin, the good news is forgiveness is available when you TURN FROM YOUR SIN and surrender to Jesus as Lord.

December 15, 2024 | The Gift | Matthew 1:20-21  Today we explore the profound truth that “forgiveness is available” through Jesus Christ. While forgiveness is a free gift to us, it came at a great cost to God—through the sacrificial death of Jesus. We are called to receive this gift by faith, not just for freedom from guilt or escape from hell, but for the restoration of a relationship with God. The message ends with a powerful reminder that forgiveness is not just about what we are saved from, but about the deep, transformative relationship we are saved to.

In this sermon, we explore the powerful truth that “forgiveness is available” through Jesus Christ. Matthew 1:20-21 we learn that Jesus means Savior, highlighting that His mission was to rescue us from sin and reconcile us to God. Forgiveness is at the core of the Christian faith, and we see in Ephesians 1:7-10 that Christ’s sacrificial death, God’s forgiveness is offered freely, uniting us with Him.  Despite our sin, God’s grace offers us eternal life and reconciliation, a gift received by grace. Let us cherish this gift of forgiveness.

December 8, 2024 | The Gift | Genesis 3 In this sermon, we explore the reality of sin, as seen in Genesis 3, and how it disrupted humility’s perfect relationship with God. We learn that sin introduced separation, shame, fear, and brokenness into the world, leading to deep consequences for all of creation. Despite the tragic effects of sin, the Gospel offers hope and restoration through Jesus Christ, the ultimate gift. As believers, it’s our responsibility to share this GIFT with others, beginning with an honest understanding of the world’s brokenness and the need for a Savior. 

December 8, 2024 | The Gift | Genesis 3 We explore Genesis 3 to understand why we need the gift of Jesus. Sin, which entered the world through Adam and Eve’s rebellion, separated humanity from God, bringing shame, strife, and suffering into our lives. This brokenness is the root of our emptiness, loneliness, and the chaos we experience in the world. The good news of the Gospel is that, despite this separation, God offers a gift of grace through Jesus to restore the relationship that was lost. Evangelism begins with understanding and sharing the bad news of sin, but it ultimately points to the HOPE of the Gospel—the gift of redemption through Jesus Christ. 

December 1, 2024 | The Gift | Luke 2:8-20 & Genesis 1 In this message, we explore the incredible truth that God created us for relationship with Him. Through the incarnation of Jesus, God made a way for us to be in a personal, intimate relationship with Him, not based on performance or religious rituals, but on His unbreakable love. Jesus is the greatest gift, given freely, to restore the relationship we were made for. The goal of salvation isn’t just belief, but knowing God intimately, experiencing His love and grace every day. 

December 1, 2024 | The Gift | Luke 2 & Genesis 1 In this message, we explore the Gospel’s central theme: God created us for a relationship with Him, but that relationship was interrupted by sin. The good news is that forgiveness is available through Jesus Christ, and we’re called to turn from sin and surrender to Him. We dive into the story of the shepherds in Luke 2 and how God sent messengers to deliver this life-changing message of salvation. We’re entrusted with this same message today—sharing the hope of Jesus with a broken world. Are we faithfully deliver the greatest Gift ever given?

November 24, 2024 | City on a Hill | Matthew 4:12-17  Is it working? Is the light of Christ working through us? Jesus shows us four key ways His light is evident: through divine appointments, drawing desperate people, developing disciples, and discerning fakers. We dive into each of these examples from Jesus' ministry to help us reflect on how we can live as His light in the world today. Ultimately, the question isn't whether the light is working—it's whether we are letting it work through us.

November 24, 2024 | City on a Hill | Matthew 4:12-17 "Is it working?” When it comes to living out our faith, is what we’re doing working? Just like we wonder if diets, medications, or efforts in life are making an impact, we often question if the light of Christ is truly working in us. Through the life of Jesus in Matthew 4:12-17, we see four powerful ways His light was evident: divine appointments, attracting desperate people, developing disciples, and discerning fakers. We'll dive into each of these aspects and reflect on how we can recognize if the light God has placed in us is making a difference.

November 17, 2024 | City on a Hill | Acts 1:4-8 In this message from the City on a Hill series, we explore the crucial role of Divine Power in fulfilling our purpose as Christ-followers. Drawing from Acts 1, we learn that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out our calling and be the light of the world. Just as the disciples needed to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit, we must pursue God’s presence and power through prayer and devotion. Without the Holy Spirit, we are powerless to live the life Christ has called us to, but with His divine power, we can boldly fulfill our purpose and shine brightly for His glory

November 17, 2024 | City on a Hill | Acts 1:4-8 In this week’s message from Acts 1, we explore the essential role of Divine Power given by the Holy Spirit in fulfilling our God-given purpose. Jesus tells His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that this divine power takes patience and requires relentless pursuit in prayer. Just as the disciples prayed as they waited in the upper room, so we should actively seek God’s presence and power. Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot live the life God has called us to. We must be a church devoted to prayer, continually asking, seeking, and knocking, waiting to be filled with His presence to empower us to be the Light of the World!   Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠ Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠ SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

October 27, 2024 | City on a Hill  In this sermon, we are tackling the intersection of faith and politics as we approach the upcoming election. We are reminded that politics affect our daily lives. Therefore it’s our responsibility to bring God’s truth into these discussions. As believers we must vote to promote Kingdom values. We’re called to be truth-tellers, prioritizing God’s truth. The Lion of the tribe of Judah will be on the throne as King regardless of if there’s an elephant or donkey in the white house.
