Nampa First Church of the Nazarene Sermons

Pastor Brian challenged us this morning about the gap between receiving God's grace and allowing it to transform us completely—reminding us that grace isn't just meant to save us, but to change us and flow through us to bless others. What's one area in your life where you feel God calling you to 'finish what He started'?

Pastor Brian reminds us that sometimes the miracle we need is the courage to speak truth in love, even when it's difficult. Who in your life is worth holding your breath for as you pray for reconciliation? 

Pastor Scott reminds us that faith must move beyond the basics - it's meant to be tested, questioned, and grown through real-life experiences. What questions about your faith have you been afraid to ask? 

Pastor Brian reminds us that true holiness isn't about withdrawing from the world or avoiding people—it's about carrying God's presence into broken places while staying devoted to Christ. How do you balance loving people without compromising your faith values?

Pastor Brian reminds us that grace isn't just about forgiveness for our past, but God's transformative power for our future—we can't receive it deeply and respond casually. Are there areas of your life where you're resisting God's grace instead of surrendering to it?

Pastor Brian challenges us with a powerful question: if we believe the cross changed everything, why do we still live like it hasn't? What area of your life needs the reminder that you are a new creation in Christ? Join us as we look at 1 Corinthians 5:1-10

"Meanwhile we groan"—not in despair, but in hope. Our groaning isn't the absence of faith; it's faith refusing to call this broken world normal while we wait for resurrection glory. What's yours sound like?

Pastor Brian reminds us that discouragement doesn't mean we lack faith—it's simply where our strength runs out and God's grace is meant to meet us.

The stone wasn't rolled away so Jesus could get out—it was rolled away so we could see in! 🙌 God isn't hiding from us; He's right here, breaking every barrier we've built. What barriers need breaking in your life?

Pastor Brian reminds us that we don't need better veils—we need an unveiled encounter with Jesus, because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
