Be reminded of Jesus’ beautiful invitation: He calls us first to be with Him before He sends us out with Him. Just as He gathered His disciples—ordinary people welcomed into His presence—He welcomes us into a relationship marked by closeness, learning, and transformation. And from that place of being with Jesus, we're empowered and sent to share His love, His hope, and His good news. May we rest in His calling, walk in His presence, and go where He leads.

Have you ever worshiped Jesus with your hands raised while doubt whispered in your ear? In Matthew 28, we meet the disciples staring at the risen Christ bowing in worship, yet some still wavering. Discover why doubt doesn’t disqualify you from the mission, but becomes the very place Jesus draws near, claims all authority, and sends you anyway.

Romans 12 is one of the most practical and powerful chapters in Scripture—a call not just to believe, but to become the living expression of God’s mercy. Our worship isn’t confined to songs or Sunday mornings; it’s a lifestyle of surrender, transformation, and love.

The Apostle Paul rallied churches across the Roman world to support believers they'd never met, facing needs that seemed insurmountable. Why would he invest so much energy? Why would he ask so much? As we honor our global partners and enter a pivotal week of generosity, we'll uncover why Paul was so relentless about this collection. The answer might reshape how you think about what's in your hand—and what's possible when you give it away.

It’s a special Sunday at NMC! Our global partners are here from Southeast Asia, India, Kenya, Mexico, and Honduras to share firsthand how God is moving around the world. Through stories of calling, challenge, and perseverance, we’ll explore how God stirs hearts for ministry, sustains His servants through trials, and continues to build His church among every nation. The same God who calls missionaries to distant fields also calls each of us to live on mission right where we are.

Jesus promised His followers power through the Holy Spirit—not for status, but for mission. When we're clothed with the Spirit, we receive strength to love, witness, and serve beyond our comfort zones. The same Spirit that empowered the first disciples empowers us today to share the gospel with boldness and grace.

Jesus’ call in Matthew 28 wasn’t a brand new mission; it was the original mission. From Eden to today, God has called His people to multiply, fill the earth, and spread His reign everywhere. This week, we’ll uncover the Great Commission’s ancient roots and fix our eyes on places where the gospel has yet to be heard. Let’s not miss God’s great calling for our lives!

After enduring unimaginable loss and wrestling with profound questions, Job's story reaches its powerful conclusion. What does restoration look like after devastating trauma? How do we move forward when life has been shattered? The final chapter of Job's journey helps us discover what it means to live, not defined by our suffering, but as image bearers of God who can still build a meaningful legacy.

In a world overflowing with voices—Reddit threads, self-proclaimed experts, age-old traditions, and dogmatic certainty—we’re left asking the same question Job did: “But where can wisdom be found?” Let’s explore the empty counsel of Job’s friends, the limits of human reasoning, and the surpassing power of God’s wisdom that humbles the proud, comforts the broken, and gives life to all who seek Him.

When tragedy strikes and evil seems to triumph, we cry out "Where is God?" Looking again at Job’s story we'll explore the age-old problem of suffering and discover why God created a world where pain exists. Rather than offering cheap answers to life's hardest questions, we'll wrestle with whether there's a God who truly understands our struggles and find hope in His greater purpose.
