In week four of our Generosity series, Pastor Ken explores Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount about making eternal investments. Drawing from Matthew 6:19-24, he challenges listeners to shift from an earthly to a kingdom perspective on finances. The message examines three key choices: two investments (earthly vs. heavenly treasures), two perspectives (temporal vs. eternal), and two masters (God vs. money). Through powerful illustrations—including the story of missionary Jim Elliot and businessman Stanley Tam—the sermon emphasizes that while we can't take our possessions to heaven, we can send them ahead through kingdom investments. The central question: Are you living for the dot (this life) or the line (eternity)? A compelling call to use God-given resources to "empty hell and fill heaven."

In this message on generosity, we explore the tension between the American Dream's emphasis on ownership and the Kingdom of God's call to stewardship. Through a journey from Genesis to the Gospels, we discover that God owns it all: our homes, jobs, resources, even our very breath. We're not owners but stewards—caretakers of what belongs to God. This shift in perspective isn't about restriction but freedom, as we learn to hold things loosely and find our security not in possessions but in belonging to the Father. The sermon culminates with the powerful story of the woman who broke her alabaster jar, pouring out her most valuable possession on Jesus—a beautiful picture of radical surrender and the proper response to the gospel.

Pastor Ken explores why Jesus taught more about money than any other topic and challenges a fundamental question: Why does God bless us with wealth when He knows it's "hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of God"? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9 and the parable of the rich fool, this message confronts our scarcity mindset and reveals God's true purpose for blessing us financially. The answer isn't to increase our standard of living, but our standard of giving. Through the inspiring story of a housekeeper whose $300 gift launched a mission that reached 100 million people, listeners are challenged to become "funnels" rather than "buckets"—allowing God's generosity to flow through them to advance His kingdom.

Pastor Ken explores what it means to move from merely giving to becoming truly generous people. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 and Jesus' teachings in Matthew, this message challenges the scarcity mindset that keeps us from generosity and invites us to see God as our scandalously generous provider. Learn how generosity isn't just about what we have, but about our hearts and perspective—and discover how trusting God's abundance can transform not just our finances, but our entire lives. The sermon includes practical steps for recognizing God's daily generosity and developing an abundance mindset that reflects the generous heart of our Creator.   For more information about our church, visit npfcc.org To help support the ongoing work of NPFCC and our mission partners around the globe, you can make a donation at npfcc.org/give

Pastor Juan explores the vital difference between attending church and experiencing true Christian community. Drawing from Hebrews 10:23-25, he challenges the idea that consuming Christian content or showing up on Sundays is enough.

Juan shares how Life Groups provide shepherding, accountability, and encouragement that transforms faith from information to transformation.

Do you ever feel like you have everything you could want, yet still long for something more? In this powerful message, we explore what it truly means to encounter God—not just knowing about Him, but experiencing His presence in a transformative way.  Drawing from Augustine, A.W. Tozer, and key scriptures like John 17:3 and Ephesians 3:16-21, this sermon challenges us to move our faith from our heads to our hearts. We'll discover how the veil separating us from God has been removed through Christ, yet we often put up our own barriers through distraction, busyness, and attachment to possessions. Learn practical ways to cultivate hunger for God's presence through spiritual disciplines, the practice of "beholding" God, and letting go of what possesses us. This isn't about acquiring more—it's about experiencing the "immeasurably more" that comes from intimately knowing the God who created us for Himself. If you're tired of settling for correct theology without genuine encounter, this message will reignite your passion for the presence of God.

In this new series we embark on a journey through the book of Acts, exploring the sequel to Jesus' life and teachings as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. The sermon emphasizes the core message of the church: Jesus' death and resurrection as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. It challenges us to let this message capture our hearts and propel us into action. Our mission, as outlined in Acts 1:8, is to be witnesses empowered by the Holy Spirit, sharing the transformative story of Jesus with the world. The urgency of our purpose is underscored by the promise of Jesus' return, reminding us that our lives should be dedicated to spreading His message. Join us as we delve into how we can continue the work Jesus began and fulfill our calling as His witnesses.

This message explores the centrality of worship in the Christian life. Drawing insights from A.W. Tozer, John Piper, and Dallas Willard, we discuss how worship is not just a Sunday activity but the ultimate mission of the church. Through the story of Abraham and Isaac, we learn that worship involves supreme trust and obedience to God. We also explore how encountering God, experiencing community, and extending compassion are essential practices that shape us into true worshipers. Finally, we reflect on the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, challenging us to live lives of gratitude and worship. Join us as we unpack these themes and consider how to embody them in our daily walk with Christ.
