Daily: The Best is Yet to Come

Life in the End

October 15, 2021 • Peter Hartwig • Revelation 21:1–5

As we end this week of NCC daily’s and as we wind down on this series, I get the chance to leave you with one last thought. What better passage to guide us here, than the very last words of the Bible itself? The end of the book of Revelation.

Don't Forget Your Wedding

October 14, 2021 • Peter Hartwig • Revelation 19:9

Imagine that you run into a friend of yours, not an especially close friend, at Ebenezers when you go to get your Saturday morning cup of joe. You’re in line together and you’re just sort of chatting and you ask him, “Hey - so what have you got on your plate today?” And your friend goes, “You know, I feel like I have something but I don’t remember… otherwise, I think it's just a slow Saturday.”

Death is Your Problem

October 13, 2021 • Peter Hartwig • 1 Corinthians 15:54–57

Today we are continuing our conversation on eschatology - the study of the end. For the last two days, I’ve referenced verses in 1st Corinthians 15. That was not necessarily by design, but it’s sure not by mistake.

Now and Not Yet

October 12, 2021 • Peter Hartwig • 1 Corinthians 15:19

Today, we’re going to keep talking about “eschatology,” about the doctrine of final things (as it is sometime grandiosely called). Today, I want to share with you a verse that surprised me the first time I read it. It surprised me because it sort of turned my idea of eschatology on its head.

The End

October 11, 2021 • Peter Hartwig • 1 Corinthians 15:28

But the English word “eschatology” comes from the Greek word “eschaton” which means “the end of something or the goal of something.” In Christian theology, eschatology has come to mean “the study of God’s intended end for the world.” That’s what we’ll be talking about.

Jesus In Your Boat

October 8, 2021 • Pastor Collin Savage • Mark 4:35–41

No matter what the situation looks like. No matter the season you find yourself in you can have confidence in the fact that Jesus is with you. With Jesus in your boat, the best is yet to come.

The Best Has Arrived

October 7, 2021 • Pastor Collin Savage • 1 Timothy 4:12

The Art of Waiting

October 6, 2021 • Pastor Collin Savage • Isaiah 40:31

In the waiting is where you are tested. In the waiting is where you build endurance and where you really have to lean into your FAITH.

Godfidence

October 5, 2021 • Pastor Collin Savage • 1 Samuel 17:32

From the person who is in the middle of a rough season right now to the person who is in the middle of birthing a God-sized http://dream...be encouraged! Be not dismayed! And know that God is for you. Take refuge in the fact that the best is yet to come!

Jump Man

October 4, 2021 • Pastor Collin Savage • Philippians 1:6

I'm wondering how many of us have a God-given dream. A dream that is so big and so crazy we know that only God can bring it to pass. And maybe for some of us, the road to seeing that Dream realized has been a rocky one, one that has been met with some “No’s” One that has led to some closed doors.

The Infinite-Minded Christian

October 1, 2021 • Pastor Lyle Tard • Genesis 15:5

What if Abraham, in Genesis 15:5, stays in the tent satisfied with the 8-foot ceiling? Does he ever become the father of many nations if he doesn’t take what Pastor Mark often calls “a two-foot field trip?”

Persistence in Prayer

September 30, 2021 • Pastor Lyle Tard • Luke 18:1–5

Praying hard is going twelve rounds with God. A heavyweight prayer bout with God Almighty can be excruciating and exhausting, but that is how the greatest prayer victories are won. Praying hard is more than words. It’s blood, sweat, and tears.

Go to the Ant

September 29, 2021 • Pastor Lyle Tard

Often Pastor Mark will say we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in a year. Of course, we also tend to underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade.

Dream Within a Dream

September 28, 2021 • Pastor Lyle Tard, Pastor Ernest Clover • Isaiah 58:12

Bold Time to Dream

September 27, 2021 • Pastor Lyle Tard • Genesis 37:5, Genesis 41:15

If you are engaged with our sermon series, you know that we are right in the thick of our current series titled The Best is Yet to Come. NCC Daily is here to help us continue to walk through this season of dreaming big, praying hard, and thinking long.
