December 21st, 2025 | Atrributes of Advent | Luke 2:9-20The Christmas season is often full—full of schedules, expectations, and emotions. In this message, Pastor Daniel Norris brings us back to the heart of Advent by reminding us that Christmas doesn't wait for us to have it all together. Instead, Christmas is the moment God stepped into our world.Drawing from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Daniel unpacks two powerful attributes of Advent: the Glory of God and the Grace of God. As the glory of the Lord breaks into the darkness of an ordinary field, it reveals God's holiness and power. And as grace follows, it draws near to ordinary people—shepherds who were overlooked, insignificant, and fearful.This message explores how God's glory exposes our need, but His grace reassures us with good news of great joy for all people. Jesus doesn't arrive in strength or status, but in humility—wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger—so that no one has to climb to reach Him.Just like the shepherds, we're invited to respond: Will we stay in the field, or will we draw near and see what the Lord has done? This Advent message points us to the true meaning of Christmas—not what we feel about it, but what God has done through His Son.A timely reminder that the God we rightly fear is also the God who came near, bringing glory that overwhelms the darkness and grace that changes everything.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
December 21st, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:8-20Why does Christmas exist? According to Pastor Matt Darby, the answer is simple yet profound: Christmas exists so that we can know God. In this Advent message from Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Matt explores how the arrival of Jesus reveals a God who is both overwhelmingly glorious and astonishingly gracious.While we often separate God's glory and His grace—placing glory in heaven and grace on earth—Luke's Gospel refuses to divide them. In the birth announcement of Jesus, God's radiant glory shines in the darkness, and His compassionate grace reaches the lowest and least: ordinary, overlooked shepherds living on the margins of society.Pastor Matt unpacks what the Bible truly means by God's glory—the weight, splendor, and radiance of His presence—and how that same holy glory comes near through grace. The shepherds' fear gives way to peace as God speaks words of comfort, proving that His holiness does not push sinners away but draws them close.At the heart of this passage is a powerful declaration: “Unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” In one sentence, heaven announces salvation that is both cosmic and deeply personal. This message reminds us that God meets us where we are, not where we wish we were, and that His grace is always closer than we deserve.As the Advent season points us toward the new year, this sermon invites listeners to respond like the shepherds—drawing near, receiving salvation, and returning with hearts full of worship for all that God has done.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
Friday of the Third Week of AdventLuke 1:5-25"After this time his wife Elizabeth conceived,and she went into seclusion for five months, saying,“So has the Lord done for me at a time when he has seen fitto take away my disgrace before others.”
Today’s Bible Verse: “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord has said to her would be acomplished! - Luke 1:45 Luke 1:45 captures the quiet power of faith that trusts God’s promises before they are fulfilled. Spoken over Mary during the Christmas story, this verse reminds us that belief isn’t passive optimism—it’s active trust in a faithful God whose word never fails. Advent invites us into the same posture Mary embraced: surrendering our expectations and choosing faith, even when the outcome is still unseen.

December 14th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:1-7In this message from the Attributes of Advent series, Pastor Todd Kauntiz invites us to lift our eyes to the providence and faithfulness of God revealed in the Christmas story. What many see as a familiar passage in Luke 2 becomes a powerful window into the heart of a God who is sovereign over history and unwavering in keeping His promises.As Pastor Todd walks through the birth of Jesus, we see how God orchestrated rulers, decrees, geography, and family lineage to fulfill ancient promises—that the Messiah would come from the line of David and be born in Bethlehem. From Caesar Augustus' decree to a manger in an insignificant town, nothing was accidental. God was providentially guiding history to bring redemption to the world.This message is especially for those carrying uncertainty, weariness, or anxiety about the future. Through fulfilled prophecy and God's faithfulness in the first Advent, we are reminded that the same God is still at work today—and can be trusted with what we are still waiting for. Because God has proven faithful before, we can place our hope in His promises yet to come.Listen and be encouraged: God is in control, He is always moving, and He always keeps His promises.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

December 7th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:26-38In this week's Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby invites us into Luke 1 to rediscover the heart of Christmas: a God who longs to be known. As we continue our Attributes of Advent series, we see two breathtaking truths about God woven through the story of Jesus' arrival—He is omnipotent (all-powerful) and immanent (always present).Pastor Matt shows how God's power and God's nearness converge in unexpected places. From a forgotten town like Nazareth to a humble young woman like Mary, we see that God draws near not because we are impressive, but because He is gracious. His presence lifts our fears, speaks peace into our anxieties, and meets us in the quiet corners of life where we least expect Him.Through Gabriel's announcement, we are reminded that God's unstoppable power is building a kingdom no force on earth can disrupt. The virgin birth becomes more than a miracle—it becomes the foundation of our salvation, showing us that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, the only One able to redeem us. And yet, this same omnipotent God comes near, overshadowing His people with the power of the Holy Spirit, accomplishing in us what we could never accomplish on our own.Pastor Matt challenges us to consider: What happens when the God who can do anything also promises to be with us in everything? The answer is found in Mary's response—full surrender. Not a surrender of defeat, but a surrender of trust. A willingness to say, “Let it be to me according to Your word,” even when the path is unclear.This episode calls us to rest instead of strive, trust instead of fear, and surrender instead of control. Because God is both stronger than we think and closer than we realize.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
December 7th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:26-38In this Advent message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues our series Attributes of Advent by exploring two profound characteristics of God revealed in the Christmas story: His omnipotence and His immanence. While God is all-powerful and sovereign over all creation, He is also deeply personal—near, involved, and present with His people.Drawing from Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Todd walks us through the miracle of the virgin birth, a stunning display of God's unlimited power. Yet this same miracle also reveals His intimate nearness as He steps into human history through the incarnation—God becoming flesh in the person of Jesus. Through Mary's honest questions and humble surrender, we see a model of trust when God's plans stretch beyond our understanding.This episode invites us to marvel at the God who both can do anything and who comes close. The God who defies natural laws to bring forth a Savior also draws near to the brokenhearted, the fearful, and the weary. Pastor Todd reminds us that because God is both omnipotent and immanent, we can trust Him fully, surrender to Him confidently, and bring our burdens before Him knowing He will never leave us.Whether you need reassurance of God's power or a reminder of His presence, this message calls you to draw near to the One who is both Almighty God and Ever-Present Savior.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Tuesday of the First Week of AdventLuke 10:21-24Turning to the disciples in private he said,"Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.For I say to you,many prophets and kings desired to see what you see,but did not see it,and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."
November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25As we enter the Advent season, Pastor Todd Kaunitz launches a new series exploring the attributes of God revealed in the story of Christmas. In this episode, “Sovereign & Merciful,” we journey through Luke 1:5–25 and witness how God's divine nature is displayed in the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth.Pastor Todd reminds us that what we believe about God shapes everything about us. Through the story of an aging priest chosen by God at a divinely appointed moment, we see the sovereignty of God—His absolute rule, His orchestration of every detail, and His power to accomplish the impossible in His perfect timing. Even in seasons of silence, waiting, or disappointment, God is at work for His redemptive purposes.We also see the mercy of God—His compassion toward the hurting, His attentiveness to the prayers of His people, and His tender kindness in giving Zechariah and Elizabeth a long-awaited son. Pastor Todd shows us that God's mercy is not only found in the blessings He gives, but also in the seasons He withholds, shaping us for a greater purpose than we could imagine.This message culminates in the announcement of John the Baptist—the one foretold by the prophets—whose life would prepare the way for the ultimate revelation of God's mercy: the coming of Jesus Christ.If you're walking through a season of waiting, distress, or wondering what God is doing, this episode will anchor your heart in the truth that God is sovereign, God is merciful, and God can be trusted.Do you know JESUS?: https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER?: https://www.nblongview.org/praySUPPORT through giving: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving
November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off our series, “Attributes of Advent,” by taking us deep into the story behind the story—the God who longs to be known. Advent means arrival, and in the arrival of Jesus we don't just discover a Savior—we discover the very heart, character, and nature of God Himself.Walking through Luke 1:5–25 and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Pastor Matt reveals two attributes that shine brilliantly in the Christmas narrative: God's sovereignty and God's mercy. Through a faithful but barren couple, an unexpected priestly assignment, and a long-awaited angelic message, we see a God who rules over every detail and moves with relentless compassion.Pastor Matt shows us:God's Sovereignty over Seasons — Our waiting is never wasted. God orchestrates every chapter of our lives with purpose, even when circumstances feel silent or stagnant.God's Mercy in Our Suffering — He sees our obedience, acknowledges our hurt, and meets us with His presence before His provision.God's Sovereignty Over Every Detail — Nothing about Zechariah's moment in the temple was random; God had placed him precisely where he needed to be.God's Mercy in Hearing Every Prayer — Even long-buried prayers are remembered by the God who treasures the cries of His people.God's Sovereignty Over the Impossible — Age, biology, and limitation cannot hinder the purposes of God.God's Mercy in the Miracle — God not only gave Zechariah and Elizabeth a child—He gave them a prophet who would prepare the way for the Messiah.God's Sovereignty and Mercy in Our Doubt — Zechariah's unbelief didn't derail God's plan. God lovingly disciplines, but He never abandons. Doubt doesn't disqualify us—God's mercy holds us even there.Through this message, Pastor Matt calls us to see our own lives through the lens of who God truly is: a sovereign King writing every line of our story, and a merciful Father filling those lines with compassion, patience, and purpose.If you find yourself waiting, suffering, longing for the impossible, or wrestling with doubt—this episode will remind you that God is working in every season, hearing every prayer, and moving in ways far greater than you can see.Do you know JESUS? https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesusNeed PRAYER? https://www.nbgilmer.org/praySupport through GIVING: https://www.nbbctx.org/giving

Our world is increasingly holiday focused, not Holy Day focused. The season of Christmas does not begin for the Church until Christmas Day. Father Jim encourages us to celebrate Advent for what it is, a time of preparation.Luke 21:25-28, 34-36Jesus said to his disciples:“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand.Read the full scripture passage: bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120124.cfmHeart to Heart Catholic Media MinistryEvangelize Seekers.
