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.

October 27, 2024 | City on a Hill  In today’s sermon, we’re exploring how Christians should approach voting on November 5 and live out our faith on November 6. It’s important for the Church to engage in political discourse because the values of God’s Kingdom should influence our choices at the ballot box. While we may face imperfect candidates, our responsibility is to advocate for policies aligned with biblical truths. Ultimately, our hope is not in political leaders, but in Jesus, the eternal King. We must love, live, and look like Jesus. We must be a City on a hill on Election Day and every day after. No matter what.  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

September 29, 2024 | Final Words of a Dying Man | 2 Peter 3:1-10In 2 Peter 3, Peter addresses doubts about Jesus' return, assuring believers of its certainty despite skepticism. He calls for a sincere mind, rooted in the truth of God's Word. Peter highlights three attributes of God: His sovereignty, demonstrated in creation and judgment; His transcendence, showing that time is different for God; and His mercy, as He patiently awaits repentance from humanity. He warns that the Day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, bringing justice and vindicating God's righteousness. Peter encourages believers to urgently share the Gospel, recognizing that God's patience is an invitation to repentance. Our readiness for His return hinges on how we respond to His grace.Do you know JESUS? ⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

September 29, 2024 | Last Words of a Dying Man | 2 Peter 3:1-13 In 2 Peter 3, Peter addresses the skepticism about Jesus’ return amidst worldly chaos. He urges believers to remember God’s promise about the second coming, which is rooted throughout scripture. Peter warns that scoffers will question the validity of this promise, but we can be reassured by God’s sovereignty, patience, and holiness. Because of who God is we can be confident that judgement will come, but we can also be confident of His power to restore all things.  Are you prepared for His return?

September 22, 2024 | Last Words of a Dying Man | 2 Peter 2:17-22 In this sermon on 2 Peter 2:17-22, we explore Peter's urgent warnings against false gospels that promise life yet lack true substance. He describes these deceptive teachings, which prey on the vulnerable and offer a counterfeit freedom but ultimately leads to slavery. These false gospels may produce temporary change, but it ultimately fails to transform lives. In contrast, the true Gospel provides genuine fulfillment, delivers the broken, offers freedom, and brings real power for lasting change. Only through the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. 

September 22, 2024 | Last Words of a Dying Man | 2 Peter 2:1-16 In this sermon, Pastor Todd dives into 2 Peter 2:17-22, where Peter warns us about the dangers of false teachers and their deceptive gospels. We discover how these false gospels promise life but lack true substance, prey on the vulnerable, promise freedom while leading to slavery, and offer momentary change without genuine transformation. The true Gospel of Jesus satisfies, restores, and empowers us for real change. Join us as we explore the importance of guarding our hearts and staying anchored in the truth of Christ.

September 15, 2024 | Last Words of a Dying Man In 2 Peter chapter 2, Peter issues a crucial warning about false teachers leading believers away from the true Gospel. Peter emphasizes that we can take heart because judgement is inevitable. But we can do not have to be afraid because of God’s grace to rescue the righteous through faith.

September 15, 2024 | Last Words of a Dying Man | 2 Peter 2:1-16 In 2 Peter, we hear a warning to “not be deceived” by false teachers and things that contradict the Word of God. This warning is not new and it is still needed today. God is just and will hold people accountable for their sin. But by His grace we are made righteous. Believers are called to remain vigilant, pursue holiness, and actively share the Gospel amidst a growing tide of deception and immorality.
