July 13th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 3:1-10In this powerful message, we continue our journey through 1 John in our series The Love of God. Pastor Daniel Norris reflects on the birth of his first son—an unforgettable moment that revealed the depths of love a father has for his child—and uses that lens to help us grasp an even greater truth: the radical, undeserved, life-changing love God has for His children.“What kind of love is this?” John asks. It's a love that doesn't make sense—a foreign, otherworldly love that redefines who we are, shapes who we're becoming, and transforms how we live.We dive into 1 John 3:1–10 and explore three key truths:The love of the Father defines youThe love of the Father shapes your futureThe love of the Father transforms your lifeThis isn't about perfection—it's about progress. It's not about earning God's love—it's about living from the security of already having it. Whether you're struggling with your identity, wrestling with sin, or simply needing to be reminded that you are deeply loved and fully adopted—this message is for you. "You're not a slave. You're a son. And sons live differently."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

March 16, 2025 | Stand Alone | Revelation 2:4-5In this message from Revelation 2:4-5, Pastor Daniel Norris challenges us to take a spiritual “Heart Check.” Just as we visit the doctor for a physical exam, we need regular assessments of our spiritual health. Jesus praised the church in Ephesus for their hard work and endurance, but He had one concern—they had abandoned their first love.What do we do when our passion for Jesus isn't what it used to be? How do we move from routine religion back to a thriving relationship with Christ? This message explores the importance of remembering, repenting, and remaining in Him. Whether you feel like the younger son who has drifted far or the older brother who has lost intimacy, the call is the same—return to your first love.Join us as we dive into Scripture, reflect on where we stand with God, and respond to His invitation to renewal. It's time for a heart check. Are you ready?Listen now and be encouraged to take the next step in your walk with Christ.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 17, 2024 | City on a Hill | Acts 1:4-8 In this week's message from Acts 1, we explore the essential role of Divine Power given by the Holy Spirit in fulfilling our God-given purpose. Jesus tells His disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that this divine power takes patience and requires relentless pursuit in prayer. Just as the disciples prayed as they waited in the upper room, so we should actively seek God's presence and power. Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot live the life God has called us to. We must be a church devoted to prayer, continually asking, seeking, and knocking, waiting to be filled with His presence to empower us to be the Light of the World!

Leadership Kryptonite #3: Critical Spirit “‘Scoffer' is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride.” Proverbs 21:24 (ESV) Zero offense intended to all the wonderful Debbys, Nellies, and Carls in our lives. Thankfully, you are not a Negative Nelly, Debby Downer, or Complaining Carl. However, I guarantee you know a few. They go by different names but always seem to work their way into a team. It's known as a critical spirit, and it is a deadly form of leadership kryptonite. At a previous church, we had a member of our team who lived with a critical spirit. He saw everything through a negative lens. He challenged every new idea, doubted every decision, and always expected the worst. Unfortunately, he brought the entire team down. A person with a critical spirit is to a team what water is to a fire. They quench enthusiasm, hinder progress, and create an atmosphere of negativity. To lead effectively, we must recognize and address this destructive attitude. Get The Notes
