Longview Campus | Pastor Nick continues our series on Philippians by bringing us into wonder and awe of Jesus.

Pastor Nick Decker | Matthew 5:6In today's episode, Pastor Nick Decker explores Matthew 5:6 and Jesus' declaration, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Using relatable stories and thoughtful biblical insight, Pastor Nick challenges us to examine what truly shapes our desires and whether we hunger for holiness as passionately as we pursue the things of this world. He explains the importance of developing a spiritual appetite for God's Word, righteousness, and Christlikeness, while warning against allowing busyness and lesser pursuits to crowd out what matters most. This message reminds us that those who seek righteousness will be satisfied by God—both now as He transforms their lives and ultimately when Christ establishes His kingdom.

This Sunday, we hear from Pastor Nick, as he shares from Mark 8. He shares the story of Jesus healing the blind man, twice. This passage has some unique and interesting features that show Jesus is more than healing the man, he is working to heal the problem of unbelief within His disciples. 

Pastor Nick Decker | Matthew 5:5In today's episode, Pastor Nick Decker delves into Matthew 5:5, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," sharing his personal struggles with meekness and challenging societal norms that equate strength with aggression. He emphasizes that meekness is not weakness, but rather strength under control, exemplified by biblical figures like Job and Moses. Through compelling stories, including the ultimate meekness of Jesus, Pastor Nick encourages listeners to respond with kindness and compassion, even toward those who may hurt them. He highlights the promise that meekness brings future blessings, urging everyone to remember the dream of a world where the meek prevail. Tune in for this transformative message on the power of restraint and the beauty of a gentle spirit.

As we celebrate 11 years of Propel Church, Pastor Nick Newman looks back at all God has done while challenging us to prepare for a new season of multiplication. Through the story of the widow and the oil, discover how God can multiply what is already in the house when we recognize what He has given us, stay connected to community, and make ourselves available as vessels for His purpose. This message was recorded live on September 20th, 2026.

What does it really take to be saved?In Exodus 11–12, judgment is coming to Egypt—but God provides a way of rescue. The difference between judgment and deliverance is the blood of a spotless lamb.The Passover points us forward to an even greater deliverance. Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed His blood so that we could be rescued from sin and death. In “The Blood That Saves,” we'll discover how the first Passover points directly to the cross and why the blood of Jesus remains our only hope for salvation.

Pastor Nick shares a powerful message from Psalm 101 on the key steps we can take to prepare our hearts and lives for revival. Revival begins with sincere praise, a commitment to live with integrity, turning away from evil, guarding what we allow into our minds, and surrounding ourselves with people who honour God. As we seek God and align our lives with His Word, we make room for Him to move in and through us. Are you ready for revival?

Pastor Nick Decker • Matthew 5:4In this episode, we delve into the profound truth of Matthew 5:4: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."

This message was recorded live on September 13th, 2026.

Pastor Nick returns from his Sabbatical and shares some perspective leading into the next month's series about relationships.

In this week's Sermon Extra, Pastor Nick and Pastor Michael discuss what Paul means when he says that the one who sows to the Spirit will “reap eternal life.” What does it mean to reap eternal life if eternal life is already given to us through faith in Christ? They explore the connection between sowing to the Spirit, growing in Christ, and experiencing the fruit of eternal life in the Christian life.

In Part 4 of our “Why?” series, we witness Peter and John boldly proclaiming that Jesus is the only way to salvation, empowered by the Holy Spirit and chosen by Him to share the Gospel despite opposition. You choose Jesus once, and then life asks you to choose him again on a Tuesday when nobody is clapping and nothing feels certain. Jesus saves you not because your… Source

Pathway of a Disciple: Grow (Pastor Nick Stephanovic) 8/23/26 Bridge City Church

Speaker: Pastor NickSynopsis: Our current series is "Fingerprints" as we look at our denomination's (The Brethren in Christ) core values. This morning we take a break from studying a Core Value in order to discuss a "Core Belief" in our denomination, one held for more than 40 years - women can serve in all levels of leadership. This is a belief that sets the BIC apart from many other Christian denominations who believe that leadership roles are for men only. This morning Pastor Nick discusses the recent Southern Baptist ruling, BIC history and makes a case as to why we support this belief.

Every leader will face criticism.The question isn't if it will happen.The question is whether you'll allow criticism to shape your leadership—or simply sharpen it.In Episode 225 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, I sat down with Pastor Nick for an honest conversation about leading through criticism, building trust, creating healthy culture, and staying focused on what God has actually called your church to do.Because one of the greatest temptations for any leader is trying to keep everyone happy.And that's a battle you'll never win.Here's some of what we unpack:Why church planters often lose momentum by trying to do too much too soonHow to build critical mass by focusing on a few things and doing them exceptionally wellWhy clarity creates momentum while ambiguity creates tensionHow to lead without becoming addicted to approvalPractical ways to build trust with people who have been hurt by previous church experiencesWhy leadership should be earned through intentional development—not handed out too quicklyHow leadership circles and apprenticeships help build a healthy leadership pipelineThe importance of creating an invitation culture instead of relying on a few big SundaysHow stories and celebration shape the culture of your churchOne of the strongest reminders from our conversation was this:"You can't lead with authority if you're addicted to approval."Every pastor wants to care for people.But caring for people isn't the same as allowing every opinion to determine the direction of your church.Healthy leadership requires the courage to stay clear on the vision God has given you—even when not everyone agrees.If you've ever wrestled with criticism, struggled to stay focused, or wondered how to build a healthier culture in your church, I think this conversation will encourage you and give you practical leadership tools you can use immediately.

Speaker: Pastor NickSynopsis: This morning we continue our "Fingerprints" series which dives into our denominational core values. Today we dive into our fourth core value: Following Jesus. Pastor Nick is back this week to help us to discern between two questions: Do you know Jesus? OR Do you follow Jesus? These are NOT the same question and the difference becomes increasingly important as we dive into this mornings scripture in Matthew 7. Want to learn more?

Have you ever wondered where God is when nothing seems to be happening?The book of Exodus begins in an unexpected place—not with miracles or the Red Sea, but with years of silence, suffering, and waiting. Yet behind the scenes, God was faithfully preparing His plan of redemption.In this first message of our new series through Exodus, we'll discover that even when God seems silent, He is still at work, keeping His promises and accomplishing His purposes.

What happens when God calls ordinary people to extraordinary things?In Week 2 of our Exodus: The God Who Delivers series, we journey to the burning bush in Exodus 3, where God reveals His holiness, His compassion, and His name to Moses. Before God ever gives Moses a mission, He reveals who He is.

Pastor Nick shares a message entitled “Building More Than a Building.” Together, we'll explore how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things and how His greatest work isn't just restoring buildings—it's transforming lives.

In this message, Pastor Nick opens the brand-new series "Better" with a message that will challenge how you see generosity. In this message, Pastor Nick talks about the heart of giving and how the exhaustion you feel might not have anything to do with how much you're giving and everything to do with why you're giving.
