Episodes
Heaven on Earth: Week 4
4/21/2024
What will we do after Resurrecting?
Some think strumming harps on clouds is our eternal future. They fear forever boredom. Similarly, some ask if we’ll “have sex in heaven.” This is akin to the boy who asked if he can still play video games on his honeymoon when he grows-up and gets married.

Heaven on Earth: Week 3
4/14/2024
Where will we be after Resurrecting?
What if heaven is a place on earth? Would that disappoint you or excite you? Before the cosmos was bent by sin, God created heaven and earth and called it good.
Duration:01:04:25
Heaven on Earth: Week 2
4/7/2024
How will we be after Resurrecting?
Will we know everything? Will we have emotions? Will we be naked? Will we be able to sin? The bodily resurrection of Jesus raises lots of questions like these.
Duration:01:00:41
Heaven on Earth: Week 1 (Easter Sunday)
3/31/2024
The Resurrection Raises Questions.
The bodily resurrection of Jesus is the inauguration of our resurrection that will take place at the consummation of all things! The resurrection body of Jesus raises some questions.
Duration:01:09:24
Good Friday
3/29/2024
All must die; ashes to ashes and dust to dust. But when the dust settles, we find a supernatural surprise! Christ died in order to bear the fruit of the resurrection in us!
Duration:00:51:49
On Freedom Road: Week 6
3/24/2024
Do you want to experience God? Well, the God who is everywhere expressly insists on meeting us somewhere. We were created for places of grace, and/or places of grace were created for us.
Duration:01:11:44
On Freedom Road: Week 5
3/17/2024
Good intentions can easily become a burden when we reverse the “so that” and “because.” We say this refrain so often at NBLC that we do well to pause and remember why this expression is good news. We live by love, not the law.
Duration:01:09:34
On Freedom Road: Week 4
3/10/2024
We are all faced with temptations, but God always provides a way out. Christ never leaves us, never forsakes us. He is faithful and gives us hope in the midst of our despair.
Duration:01:09:31
On Freedom Road: Week 3
3/3/2024
We should not be surprised when we set out on a new path that all hell breaks loose! Many feel at home in a system of dysfunction and to try and set things right upsets the spiritual equilibrium of our lives. Get ready to rumble!

On Freedom Road: Week 2
2/25/2024
We should not be surprised when we set out on a new path that all hell breaks loose! Many feel at home in a system of dysfunction and to try and set things right upsets the spiritual equilibrium of our lives. Get ready to rumble!

On Freedom Road: Week 1
2/18/2024
We all know the story of carrying burdens contrary to our best intentions. Like slaves, we kowtow under the weight of our loads. But then God sends us a person of promise. Hoping against hope, we begin to consider we may have a way out after all!
Duration:01:06:57
Ash Wednesday
2/14/2024
Some would consider a meditation on our death morbid. But Christians have long contemplated our mortality at the onset of Lent--a penitential season focused on working-out the salvation God has worked into us.
Duration:01:02:56
Fear Not: The Apocalypse
2/11/2024
The late great planet earth is not just an apocalyptic tale spun by fundamentalist Christians. Science also has become preoccupied with predicting an imminent dystopian future/present. Whether it’s the book of Revelation, or the discovery channel, we know that the end is near!
Duration:01:04:52
Fear Not: Politics
2/4/2024
The politics of fear has become the standard. Regardless of which party, candidate, or news source you lean toward, they all sound the same: the other side is going to be the worst case scenario. How does Jesus factor into the election cycle?
Duration:01:01:51
Fear Not: FOMO
1/28/2024
Even the most “out of it” texters know the acronym FOMO. Some people don’t just know FOMO, but live with it. Related to this is FOBO: Fear Of a Better Offer. Afraid of not living their best lives, we can miss many God-given gifts right in front of us!
Duration:01:09:32
Fear Not: Dying
1/21/2024
Woody Allen famously said, “I’m not afraid of death; I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Are you afraid of dying? Are you afraid of flying? We approach both of these events with apprehension, but also with knowledge that mitigates our fears.
Duration:01:08:38
Fear Not: Loneliness
1/7/2024
Fear can be healthy. God programmed fear into our nervous systems to give us survival instincts needed to keep ourselves safe and to prepare for goals. But fear can spike in ways adverse to God’s intent. How do we live our faith in the face of fearful circumstances?
Duration:01:05:21
Choices
12/31/2023
You don’t lack commitment; you’re overcommitted! You have so many great options in front of you that the glut of choices has created a form of paralysis. As we approach the new year, we will begin to consider resolutions. We all want our lives to demonstrate more productive habits. So, it’s time to make a choice!
Duration:01:02:31
God in the Flesh: Lord
12/24/2023
What is the birth of Jesus about? It’s about every knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus is Lord! The birth of Jesus is the prequel to the parousia--known only by God the Father Himself. Prepare the way of the Lord!
Duration:01:09:15
Advent Candlelight Service
12/20/2023
Some things just feel right, right? Like singing Silent Night to candlelight with the approach of Christmas. And we plan to repeat an act of corporate generosity and donate the night’s entire offering to Grace’s Place, an emergency shelter in Washington, MO that provides crisis care and other services for Children and Youth.
