What I Believe Matters // Got Stress? // April 21, 2024

April 21, 2024 23:52 - 52 minutes - 72 MB

I wear glasses. I need them to read words on a page, but I also need them to read the signs on a Freeway. Without them I might end up in Corona Del Mar instead of good old Corona.  My point is, the proper lenses get me to where I need to go. Hear me, when life throws us a curve the difference between peace and anxiety is “what I believe.” What I believe from God’s word is the proper lens to view through when worry encroaches upon my life. Friends when it comes to stress, what I believe matte...

They Just Don't Listen! // Got Stress? // April 14, 2024

April 14, 2024 20:17 - 51 minutes - 70.8 MB

I have found that one of the bigger sources of stress in life is bad decision making. Meaning, we can actually bring stress and more stress upon ourselves. But it also means through good decisions we can reduce stress in our lives. Today we look at a man in the O.T. who created his own stress highway through bad decisions. We can learn from his mistakes and reduce one of the sources of stress; bad decision making.  ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: ...

Jesus Said, Do Not Be Worried // Got Stress? // April 07, 2024

April 07, 2024 22:28 - 44 minutes - 60.7 MB

We begin this series on stress with the words of Jesus, “Do not worry.” And of course when we are worried and someone tells us that, we continue to worry. But why would Jesus say that if there was not a way to control and stop worry dead in it’s tracks. In this message we will look at truths Jesus lays out that work when it comes to worry.  ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Instagram: instagram.com/nbccno...

Scene Four: The Resurrection // Journey To The Cross // March 31, 2024

April 01, 2024 00:16 - 35 minutes - 49 MB

Our Journey actually culminates three days after the event of the crucifixion with the Resurrection of Jesus. The foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ, the basis for our being born again Christians is founded upon the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave after His gruesome execution. Paul the ex-Pharisee and previous murderer of Christians upon His conversion to Christ would write, “If Christ has not risen from the dead then our faith is worthless and we are still in our sins.” Wit...

Scene Two: The Garden and the Trials // Journey To The Cross // March 24, 2024

March 24, 2024 20:07 - 42 minutes - 58.4 MB

Jesus last days on Earth were filled with stress, lies, and tense discussions. Yet, we see our Savior handle these moments, not in a panic, but with grace and strength. In this message, we will watch how Jesus handled the tough moments in life, and the example He sets for us today. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Instagram: instagram.com/nbccnorco YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3...

Scene One: Jesus Enters Jerusalem // Journey To The Cross // March 17, 2024

March 17, 2024 19:22 - 58 minutes - 79.7 MB

It is Resurrection season and we begin our new series “Journey to the Cross” with Jesus locked in on entering into Jerusalem to finish the mission. It all begins with excitement as people celebrate His entering the city with shouts of Hosanna. But that will quickly fade as the confrontation with the city leadership escalates with Him ruining their nefarious money making enterprise. Jesus, the people, and those in power making the money all know of the corruption. As Jesus cleanses the Temple...

Dressed For Battle // The Letter To Ephesus // March 10, 2024

March 10, 2024 20:00 - 51 minutes - 70.6 MB

As a follower of Christ whether we know it or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we’ve engage in it or not…we are in a war. And we are all soldiers. At least we are supposed to be. As we conclude The Letter to Ephesus, Paul gives us vivid physical imagery to help us understand and know how to engage a spiritual enemy. And thank God we have the weapons of warfare to fight an enemy we cannot see. An enemy that pulls the strings of society. Join me during this message as I teach on, “Dr...

The Battle For Marriage // The Letter To Ephesus // March 03, 2024

March 03, 2024 21:03 - 54 minutes - 74.3 MB

We have been watching a cultural redefinition of marriage for many years now. But it doesn’t matter how many times a redefinition comes down the pike, we stick with God’s original definition, which is the only definition that is true and that matters. During this message, I tackle the problem of two specific redefinitions that either hinder or completely destroy what marriage was all about, as we look at, “The Battle for Marriage.” ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social ...

The Church United // The Letter To Ephesus // February 25, 2024

February 25, 2024 22:02 - 41 minutes - 57.3 MB

In a world that tries to divide people, Paul calls us to be united in the church. That can be difficult, especially on a personal level. During this message, we are going to see how Scripture gives us practical ways to keep us united, and why it is so important, especially today.——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Instagram: instagram.com/nbccnorco YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PV...

The Church: The Antidote To An Uncivil-ization // The Letter To Ephesus // February 18, 2024

February 18, 2024 22:31 - 48 minutes - 66.4 MB

The Ideologies and ideas today that seek to unify us actually divide us. We live in a blind world with the blind leading the blind and that is not surprising since the Devil is also called the god of this world and we know that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. But what if God had the answer to a divided people? Well He does, and during this message we are going to see how God unifies a divided group of people.  ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Med...

From Rags To Riches // The Letter To Ephesus // February 11, 2024

February 11, 2024 19:37 - 46 minutes - 64.1 MB

I think everyone loves a story where someone rises up against all odds and changes their life for the better. In these cases it is the person who does it on their own with typically no mention of God in the mix. In Ephesians chapter 2 we are going to experience the spiritual Rags to Riches story we as followers of Christ have all experienced, and currently continue to experience because of God’s grace to us who believe. Join me this Sunday as I get to take you on a journey that you are livin...

Who Am I? // The Letter To Ephesus // February 04, 2024

February 04, 2024 21:47 - 49 minutes - 68.1 MB

We begin a new series based in the N.T. letter of Ephesians. It is a great letter that is broken in two pieces; the first half has to do with our calling and the second with our conduct as followers of Christ. Paul is the writer and in this opening teaching he has much to say about “Who we are in Christ.” To many people walk around wondering who they are. Gosh, too many Christians walk around still unsure of their identity in Christ. In this first message Paul seems to want to solidify the f...

What Happens After I Die? // Honest Answers // January 28, 2024

January 28, 2024 17:45 - 52 minutes - 71.5 MB

Many people have a fear of death. We saw this when death came close to all of us during the pandemic. But death is an interesting inevitability since it seems to shut the door on existence…or does it? Could it be that there is more to life than what we are experiencing now? Jesus told Nicodemus that He descended from heaven to this earth. That tells us that there is another reality beyond this one. So this Sunday we will answer the question in our Honest Answers series; What happens after I ...

Why Doesn't God Do Something About Evil? // Honest Answers // January 21, 2024

January 21, 2024 21:10 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MB

The problem of evil in this world has plagued every last one of us. And the big question that one might face concerning evil is, “If God is all loving and powerful why doesn’t He do something about evil?” It is a great question that can definitely be answered. But just because there are answers to the question, doesn’t mean everyone will like or agree with the answers. This Sunday we will tackle this important question in our series, Honest Answers.”  ——————————————————————————————— Connec...

How To Pray // Honest Answers // January 14, 2024

January 14, 2024 16:55 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MB

It’s fascinating to me that one of the things we really want to develop as a follower of Christ is a prayer life, yet some still have questions on how to pray. It is understandable that everyone needs to be educated on the dynamics of prayer especially since Jesus took time to teach His first followers how to pray. And since prayer is a vital part of a growing relationship with God, we will take this Sunday to teach us all what the Bible says about “How to pray.”  ——————————————————————————...

How To Deal With Anger // Honest Answers // January 07, 2024

January 07, 2024 19:29 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

We begin a new series called “Honest Answers” with a topic I’m very much interested in, ANGER. I’m a person who carried his fair share of anger for years of my life and I have counseled and observed anger in many others. And many of the those others are Christians. Yes, that’s right, just because we are Christians doesn’t mean we are exempt from anger. So to kick off the new year we are going to give some honest answers concerning anger and how to conquer it. ——————————————————————————————...

How Are You Investing? // Generations Service // December 31, 2023

The Generations team is hosting their annual “Generations Take Over”. We have our Kids Pastor Bri and Generations Pastor, Charlie Headley, sharing a message on "How Are We Investing?"

He's Arrived // Christmas Eve // December 24, 2023

December 24, 2023 17:11 - 52 minutes - 72.4 MB

All-important arrivals carry with them much impact. I can think back to each of my six Grandchildren’s birth and the joy and impact they had on my and my wife’s life. One thing that happened was, there arrival impacted my home. I thought we were ready to get rid of things and streamline our lives. Well, that plan went out the window. The arrival of the Grandkids brought with it high chairs, baby walkers, a crib, a baby swing, an outdoor swing…do I need to say more. And we just added our seco...

The Invader // Arrival // December 17, 2023

December 17, 2023 21:02 - 48 minutes - 65.9 MB

I do enjoy Sci-fi movies. Now some of my favorites are when aliens from somewhere in the universe attempt to invade the human race. But have you ever thought of Jesus as an invader of the human race? An invader that didn’t come to destroy us, like in the movies, and take the planet over, but one that came to invade our life of sin to erase it and save us. In this message we will focus on the effect Jesus had when He invaded the lives of the Shepherds watching their flocks out in the field th...

Orchestrating All The Parts // Arrival // December 10, 2023

December 10, 2023 19:20 - 51 minutes - 71 MB

All things with function typically have many moving parts. Those parts must be moving in sync with all the other parts for it to work. It was no different with the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. In this message we will look at the Prophetic Playbook and how the Holy Spirit orchestrated all the moving parts to fulfill all the prophecies written hundreds of years earlier. We will see that God is the Maestro orchestrating all the pieces, the same way He orchestrates all the pieces of our l...

Partnering With God // Arrival // December 03, 2023

December 03, 2023 21:30 - 52 minutes - 71.8 MB

When God, our Creator, does something, He typically partners with His creation, us. That in and of itself is an absolutely unfathomable thought. That the Creator of the universe is willing to partner with us to carry out His will on earth. But that is what He does. And that is what He did in the life of a young probably teenage girl named Mary when it was announced to her that she would partner with God to carry and give birth to the Messiah who would come and save all people from their sins...

Generous Givers // Generosity // November 26, 2023

November 26, 2023 18:08 - 46 minutes - 63.9 MB

I find it impossible to reconcile a stingy spirit with being a Christian. After all didn’t God give His best to us in the giving of His Son? In this message we will look at the transformation power of the Holy Spirit to change a heart. And the first manifestation of that changed heart is, generosity. That is not a coincidence. It is a byproduct of the Spirit of God living in a person. In this message we will look at the life of Zaccheus to challenge us all to a life of generosity. —————————...

Generous With The Gospel // Generosity // November 19, 2023

November 19, 2023 18:27 - 47 minutes - 65.7 MB

The longer we walk as a Christian the easier it is to cease sharing the Gospel. In fact we might have stopped even looking for any opportunity to share the Good News with others. The problem with this kind of thinking is, it does not line up with what Jesus told us. It’s not even close to how the first followers of Christ carried themselves. In this message we will define what the Gospel is, because we can’t share it if we don’t know it. And then we will be challenged to again seek opportuni...

Generous With Our Time // Generosity // November 12, 2023

November 12, 2023 16:29 - 40 minutes - 56.3 MB

Have you ever felt like there wasn’t enough time, that you wish you could just make more of it? Time is the most precious commodity we have, so how we use it matters. But what does scripture say about our time, and how can we use it generously and yet still be good stewards? Those are the questions we are going to tackle this Sunday at New Beginnings Community Church! ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on Social Media: Website: nbcc.com/ Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorco Ins...

Generous With Forgiveness // Generosity // November 05, 2023

November 05, 2023 14:40 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MB

We begin a new series on Generosity and generosity has many avenues. The first we will explore is being generous with forgiveness. C.S. Lewis said, “Everyone thinks that forgiveness is a great idea until they have something to forgive.” I have found that is true about humanity, but totally contrary to the heart of God. Jesus came and sacrificed His life to forgive us of every one of our sins and if He did that for me…then I should be able to do that for others.   ———————————————————————————...

The Spirit Led Person // The Letter To Galatia // October 29, 2023

October 29, 2023 18:34 - 51 minutes - 71.3 MB

As we conclude Galatians Paul will continue with the Spirit led life with specific practical applications and evidences of a Spirit led person. It is one thing to say I live by the Spirit and it is another thing to actually live what is described as a Spirit led life. Paul will give us a clear view again of what that life looks like. He will lead off with what should be obvious; A Spirit led person is a restorer, which is in opposition to a person of the flesh which by definition in chapter ...

The Flesh Verses The Spirit // The Letter To Galatia // October 22, 2023

October 22, 2023 17:57 - 54 minutes - 75.1 MB

I think all believers know that we have a daily internal struggle. A battle of our flesh and spirit. A battle to do right not wrong. In Galatians 5 we quickly find it is a battle of appetites. My flesh, the old me and my born again spirit, the new me have differing desires and appetites, and that is the core of the war raging in us. Paul is going to expose this war and give us some great truths in overcoming the old nature that only wants to please itself and thus destroy us. I hope to see y...

Mr. Right // The Letter To Galatia // October 15, 2023

October 15, 2023 17:45 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MB

Many women are looking for a man to marry, say they are looking for Mr. Right. And rightly so, because you don’t want Mr. Wrong or even Mr. Maybe. As we progress through Galatians in Paul’s defense of “salvation by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone” we find Paul now pointing to Mr. Right: Jesus. When it comes to the salvation of mankind Jesus our Mr. Right came at the right time, He was the right person, He had the right strategy and He brought the right result. So as it pertai...

Paul's Defense Of Salvation By Grace Through Faith // The Letter To Galatia // October 08, 2023

October 08, 2023 17:21 - 55 minutes - 76.5 MB

I really admire Paul’s brilliance. And in chapter 3 of Galatians it is on display again. As he battles the Judaizers attempts to infiltrate the Gospel with works of the law, Paul throws out logical and brilliant reasons as he defends “salvation by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.” This is something all followers of Christ need to grow in. Can we give reasons for what we believe when asked? Throughout the N.T. the first followers are giving reasons for the hope of the Gospel...

Grace through Faith the Better Way // The Letter To Galatia // October 01, 2023

October 01, 2023 17:14 - 57 minutes - 79 MB

As Paul defends Grace through Faith we find the lies and fears of the Judaizers attempting to infiltrate the Christianity with “salvation by works of the law” exposed. Some call them legalists. One part of this message is sharing what a legalist in a church attempts to do and how they can kill faith in people if allowed to push their false teaching. Paul strenuously combats them He again does a brilliant defense of “salvation by Grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone” against the ...

Chapter One // The Letter To Galatia // September 24, 2023

September 24, 2023 15:51 - 44 minutes - 60.9 MB

Letters are often such a joy to get, because they can be personable and you know they took effort and time. Pauls letter to the church in Galatia is the same. He expresses his astonishment that the Galatians have so quickly turned to a different gospel, emphasizing the importance of remaining faithful to the true message of salvation by grace through faith. This Sunday we will discuss Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel and his personal call to serve as an apostle set the stage rest of t...

Why Give? // Belong // September 10, 2023

September 10, 2023 16:18 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MB

Maybe the most sensitive of topics is giving. It can elicit a joyous “amen” to an angry, “the church just wants money” and everything in between. But do you know what the different responses reveal? The condition of a person’s heart. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also.” So if you really think about it, giving to God and His kingdom purposes keeps my heart on the right track. Today we want to go down this track and teach on “Why Give?” I hope to see you there. ...

Why Groups? // Belong // September 03, 2023

September 03, 2023 16:22 - 56 minutes - 77.4 MB

I thought about some of the things I’ve done alone. I’ve eaten at restaurants alone. I’ve gone to the movies alone. I have visited churches on vacation alone. I have left home alone to study out of town for two and three days. I have no problem doing things alone…but I wouldn’t want to always do things alone. I found that I am human and need to hang out and do things with others. I need the tighter smaller fellowship. As I’ve studied the scriptures I found that the godhead is a fellowship of...

Why Serve? // Belong // August 27, 2023

August 27, 2023 16:32 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MB

Taking a vacation is always fun and relaxing. It is a time to refresh. Vacations contain the element of slowing down and letting others serve us. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact there is a lot right about this. But our life is not a continuous vacation, no matter how much we wish it was. Our life, the life of a follower of Christ is that of a servant. Jesus even said that the greatest people who walk among us are those who live a life of serving others. He added that He did not com...

Why Be Part Of A Church? // Belong // August 20, 2023

August 20, 2023 15:50 - 56 minutes - 77 MB

We embark on a new series today called, “Belong” This is a timely series due to the reality that technology enables us to, well, cocoon ourselves. We less and less need to be physically present anywhere. That is not always a good thing since we were created to be social beings created by God who is a social being, being part of the Father Son and Holy Spirit godhead. I hope you join us today as we see what the New Testament and especially what Jesus said about being part of a local church. ...

Fasting // Masterclass // August 13, 2023

August 13, 2023 18:21 - 56 minutes - 78.3 MB

As we conclude our series on spiritual disciplines, we want to take you into the world of fasting. One does not have to read deep into the gospels to see that Jesus in preparation for his battle in the desert, chose to fast. Fasting is also something that Jesus said His followers would be called to do after He was gone. This Sunday we want to educate you on some of the powerful benefits of a proper fast and hopefully encourage you to make this a part of your spiritual disciplines. See you th...

Silence and Solitude are some of the most important yet neglected Spiritual Disciplines. It is vital for our spiritual lives, however, to take time to be alone and quiet before God.

Worship // Masterclass // July 30, 2023

July 30, 2023 18:32 - 47 minutes - 65.1 MB

Worship is something that involves our entire life. We typically think of it as singing to God, and it is that, but it is not limited to that only. It involves worshipping and exalting God through our actions, tithing, treatment of others, loving our spouses, etc. etc. All of those and more are done as worship to God to glorify His Name. In this message on worship we will look at how the worship of God affects us. Yes it affects us! In fact it improves us. In fact it restores us to the image...

Prayer // Masterclass // July 23, 2023

July 23, 2023 19:02 - 44 minutes - 61.3 MB

We now enter into four weeks of spiritual disciplines from scripture designed to bring us into a fuller walk with Christ. We begin today with prayer. Jesus was asked by his already praying disciples, “Lord teach us to pray.” This means prayer has an element of learning and growth. We could be missing some of more important prayer pieces and today we will attempt to fill in some missing pieces. I hope you come away from this one with a renewed desire to draw close to Jesus in prayer. ———————...

When God Does Something New In You // Life Of: Nehemiah //July 16, 2023

July 16, 2023 18:00 - 53 minutes - 73 MB

God is doing something new in the city of Jerusalem through the people. The catalyst of it all is a man named Nehemiah who leads the building process to restore the wall and the gates that have been damaged for over one hundred years. But there are enemies who are opposed to the rebuilding. In this teaching we will examine how to deal with opposition when God does a new thing in us. Nehemiah gives us great insight into this aspect of spiritual warfare. ——————————————————————————————— Conn...

Life Of: Gideon //July 09, 2023

July 09, 2023 15:45 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MB

The story of Gideon is one of a man finding his identity, not in himself, but in what the Lord sees in him. Often we struggle with the battle of who we are. Gideon shows that when we trust God with our identity, we can overcome so much more than we think we can. To be disciplined takes effort, and creating good habits are both hard to start, and even harder to keep. God gave us some Spiritual Disciplines for us to apply to our lives. In these disciplines, they help us become more like Christ...

Continuing What Jesus Began // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // July 02, 2023

July 02, 2023 18:10 - 52 minutes - 72.2 MB

We are all tempts in life. Some of us took over a business from our parents. Most of us stepped into a position vacated by a retiree. We are simply carrying on what someone took over from someone else or began. Being a follower of Christ is no different. We began with Acts 1:1 a year ago with Dr. Luke’s statement: “All that Jesus BEGAN to do and TEACH.” Jesus BEGAN it and we are to continue it. When we gave our lives to Christ we stepped into a position to share the gospel vacated by past Ch...

Riding Out The Storms // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // June 25, 2023

June 25, 2023 17:23 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MB

We’ve all been in life storms…many of them. Paul has been in many storms as he spreads the gospel. Today find him in the biggest storm of his life, and he’s in the predicament because of someone else’s bad decision. But what is most impressive is what he does in the storm. His courage, calm, and hope in Jesus are on full display. Someone once said, “Storms don’t make us, they reveal us.” And today we watch Paul fully revealed in a storm. ——————————————————————————————— Connect with us on S...

G.O.A.T. // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // June 18, 2023

June 18, 2023 17:22 - 42 minutes - 58.9 MB

I love Father’s Day because I get to celebrate Fathers and take you into the world of that dad in your home. And besides, I am one of them. Your Father is a unique breed. He is not like your mother. He’s a guy, he’s your dad. But have you ever wondered what makes him tick? Have you ever wondered what he was like before you came around versus what he is like today? Well this Sunday as we celebrate dads I will attempt to teach you some of the inner workings and motivations of that G.O.A.T. you...

Persecution // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // June 11, 2023

June 11, 2023 16:41 - 46 minutes - 64.3 MB

As we continue to travel through Acts we find one of the reoccurring themes is persecution. Paul is being continuously persecuted for his faith in the Resurrected Jesus. He would one day write in I Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” He is telling us what to expect so as not to be surprised when it happens. We will be persecuted as a result of living “godly lives.” That is important because some are persecuted for living sinful lives all th...

The Danger Of Delay // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // June 04, 2023

June 04, 2023 18:28 - 49 minutes - 68.6 MB

Some decisions should not be delayed. Especially the decision to follow Christ. As we look into Acts 24 we find Paul still in prison but given the opportunity to speak to the governor Felix and his wife Drusilla about righteousness, self-control and judgment to come. Felix delays his decision to follow Christ and we never read that he gave his life to Christ in follow up meetings with Paul. It is dangerous to delay the decision to follow Christ and today we will see why. ———————————————————...

Faithful Follower – Faithful God // Acts: To The Ends Of The Earth II // May 28, 2023

May 28, 2023 19:43 - 51 minutes - 71 MB

There are many seasons in our life as followers of Christ that we need encouragement. In this message we find Paul has been going through some difficult times. He is currently on trial, they strike him and no one is getting saved. So what does Jesus do?
