Series: You Asked For It Text: Exodus 3-14 Preacher: Brent McCrory God’s sovereignty: it is a mystery for some, a comfort for others, and the reason for unbelief in many (literally). Yet, and this will sound strange to even ask, what does the Bible say about it? In other words,…

Sermon Series: NLCC Structure Text: Acts 6 Preacher: Brent McCrory Observations and applications from scripture are of the utmost importance.

Sermon Series: Life  Text: Ephesians 4:1-16; 6:10-20 Preacher: Brent McCrory Safety is an illusion. Being a parent I wish this was not true…yet ask a parent who has experienced heartache due to a traumatic injury or loss of life – accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. In light of this,…

Sermon Series: Life  Text: Ephesians 3:1,14-21; 6:10-20 Preacher: Brent McCrory Change is a part of life. There is simply no way around it.
