First Assembly NLR Video Podcast

As we begin a new series called "I've Got A Secret", we discuss secret sin and the destructive nature of secrets, as well as the pattern of thinking that leads to sin, and some safeguards you can put in place.

This message Pastor Rod teaches us one of the most difficult lessons he has ever had to preach. He will challenge us to raising the bar with our attitude and behavior.

We continue our "Ouch!" series with Jesus's radical teaching about how you are supposed to act toward your enemies. It is a completely different way to live!

We continue our series by looking at a command of Jesus that is often difficult to follow. This one is life-changing! You will be challenged to make things right with other believers and to learn to forgive.

Unfortunately, some people avoid church because they fear encountering "judgmental church people". Whether their fear is based on reality or just perception, it is still a problem. In fact, it is an old problem that Jesus addressed in his day.

Did Jesus really say, "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off"? Ouch!, that sounds extreme! What did Jesus really mean, and how can this passage help us eliminate sin from our lives?

It isn't a matter of if we will face difficulty as followers of Jesus, but when. However, Jesus told us that we should be happy when we suffer for His sake. How can we rejoice and be glad when we suffer because of Jesus?

When your reality is far from your expectation, the result is disappointment. In this message, Rod Loy talks about how to deal with it. There is hope!

What do you do when your dreams have died - when it's obvious that what you hoped for and dreamed for isn't going to happen?
