January 25th, 2026 | Encounter | 2 Corinthians 3:7-18In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz invites us to experience a fresh encounter with Jesus through the glory of God revealed in the Holy Spirit. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 3:7–18, Pastor Todd contrasts the fading glory of the Old Covenant—revealed through Moses and the Law—with the far greater, lasting glory of the New Covenant found in Christ.Paul shows us that while the Law exposed sin and brought condemnation, it could never transform the heart. True life, freedom, and transformation come through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Where once a veil separated people from God's glory, that veil is now removed through faith in Jesus, giving believers bold access to God's presence.This sermon highlights three powerful truths about life in the Spirit:Access to a greater glory — God's presence now dwells within us through the Holy Spirit.Spiritual freedom — freedom from sin, shame, condemnation, and death.Ever-increasing transformation — an ongoing, inward change as we are shaped into the image of Christ.Pastor Todd explains that this life in the Spirit happens through believing (salvation, when the veil is removed) and beholding (continually gazing on the glory of the Lord through abiding in His presence). As we behold Jesus, we are transformed—because we truly become what we behold.A powerful call to examine whether we've truly believed and whether we're living a life of beholding the glory of the Lord.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Joshua 4 | January 25, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this message, Pastor Todd explores the profound importance of remembering God's faithfulness. Drawing from Joshua chapter 4, he highlights the significance of the twelve-stone memorial, a physical reminder for the Israelites of God's miraculous intervention in their lives. This act of remembrance serves as a powerful testament to God's goodness, not just for individuals, but for families and the entire world.Discover how cultivating a practice of remembering God's past actions can renew your mind, instill hope, and empower you to live a life of purpose and gratitude.

The apostle Paul's struggle and agony for believers he's never met reminds us of the depth of Christian love and the importance of spiritual encouragement. We're called to be 'knit together in love,' forming a tight-knit community that stands firm against false teachings and plausible arguments that threaten to lead us astray. The message emphasizes that all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, urging us to seek Him above all else.

01.18.26 | THE WONDER OF HIS GLORY | PASTOR TODD SMITH

January 11th, 2026 | Encounter | Hebrews 4:11-16What if the key to spiritual growth isn't a shortcut—but a daily encounter with God's Word?In this message from the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz invites us to experience a fresh encounter with the living presence of God through Scripture. Drawing from Hebrews 4:11–16, he reminds us that the Bible is not just a book to be read, but the very Word of God—living, active, and powerful to transform our lives.Pastor Todd unpacks what it means to “strive to enter God's rest,” showing how ongoing obedience to God's Word leads us into the abundant life found in Jesus. As the Word exposes the true condition of our hearts, it doesn't lead us to shame—but to grace. Through Christ, our great High Priest, we are invited to approach the throne of grace with confidence and find mercy and help in our time of need.This message also launches the NT260 challenge—an invitation to read one chapter of the New Testament a day, five days a week, for the rest of the year. The goal isn't simply to read the Bible, but to encounter Jesus through His Word.If you're longing for spiritual rest, renewal, and a deeper relationship with God, this message will challenge and encourage you to open the Scriptures—and meet Him there.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

Joshua 2:8-13, 18 | January 11, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this sermon from the Joshua series, Pastor Todd explores the remarkable story of Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute from Jericho. Her inclusion in the lineage of Jesus and the hall of faith in Hebrews 11:31 powerfully illustrates that God's grace extends to all, regardless of their past. Rahab's act of hanging a scarlet cord from her window becomes a profound symbol of faith and redemption. Discover how Rahab's story challenges our perceptions of who God saves and why her faith, not her past, secured her future. What does it mean to truly place your trust in Christ, and how does this timeless narrative speak to your own life today?To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Paul's letter to the Thessalonians reveals three essential elements of gospel-centered love that go beyond romantic notions. First, we must love with boldness, declaring God's truth even when facing opposition and conflict. Second, our love must be marked by integrity, speaking truth rather than what people want to hear, grounded in God's approval rather than human acceptance. Third, genuine love is costly, requiring us to invest our time, energy, and resources in others like a nursing mother caring for her children. Paul demonstrates that effective Christian love combines truth with compassion, requiring courage to share both God's love and our own with others, even when it's difficult or expensive.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Sunday, Jan 4th 2026

January 4th, 2026 | Encounter | Hosea 10:12What if the greatest obstacle to experiencing more of God is our comfort with the status quo?In this opening message of the Encounter series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz calls the church to a holy discontentment with lukewarm Christianity and invites us into a deeper, transforming encounter with God. Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Pastor Todd unpacks God's call to spiritual renewal through repentance, heart cultivation, and persistent prayer.This message challenges believers to confront subtle compromise, hardened areas of the heart, and spiritual indifference, while reminding us that there is more of God's presence, power, and fruit available to those who seek Him. Through biblical teaching, historical examples of revival, and personal testimony, listeners are urged to return to holiness, break up fallow ground, and seek the Lord with urgency—until He shows up.This is a call to surrender, consecration, and renewed pursuit of God—for personal revival that leads to awakening in the world around us.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

Joshua 1:1-11 | January 1, 2026 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this sermon, Pastor Todd kicks off a new series on the Book of Joshua, emphasizing the importance of strength and courage for believers today. He draws a powerful parallel between Joshua's call to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land and the challenges facing the church in the modern era. Just as Joshua was prepared through years of character development as Moses' assistant, God often uses seemingly ordinary individuals and extended periods of preparation for extraordinary purposes. Discover how God's demanding call requires not just character, but also a deep conviction to take Him seriously and embrace responsibility. Learn why procrastination has no place in God's kingdom and how each generation plays a vital role in carrying forward the divine mission.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

The church in Thessalonica faced persecution for declaring Jesus as Lord in a Roman culture that demanded worship of Caesar. Despite being new believers in a hostile environment, they became examples to Christians throughout their region. Paul's letter reveals seventeen gifts God gives every believer, including spiritual family, divine love, being chosen by God, and the transforming power of the gospel. Rather than focusing on New Year's resolutions, we should remember what God has already given us in Christ. Living with everyday faithfulness while maintaining an eternal perspective involves waiting with purpose, welcoming others through hospitality, and worshiping through transformation from idols to serving the living God.https://www.ankenyfree.church

The Right & Wrong Alignments | The Todd Coconato Show  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give TODAY ON THE TODD COCONATO SHOW The Right and Wrong Alignments As we move closer to 2026, one of the most critical areas believers must gain clarity in is alignment. Who you walk with will determine how far you go, how strong you stand, and how clearly you hear the voice of God in the next season. Not every relationship is meant to continue, and not every door that opens is sent by the Lord. In today's broadcast, Pastor Todd breaks down the biblical truth about right and wrong alignments and why God often requires separation before promotion. Using Scripture, discernment, and real life wisdom, he explains how to recognize who you are meant to partner with and who you are meant to bless and release. The Bible is very clear that alignment affects destiny, peace, fruitfulness, and spiritual authority, especially as we step into a more demanding and decisive season. This message will help you understand why some relationships bring strength while others bring strain, why certain connections sharpen your calling while others slowly drain it, and how God uses alignment to prepare His people for what is ahead. If you want to step into 2026 positioned, focused, and walking with the right people around you, this is a broadcast you do not want to miss. Very important broadcast.

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Ephesians 4:26]

Christmas brings different expectations for everyone, but what we truly need isn't something we can unwrap—it's a person. Jesus Christ came into a world that wasn't expecting Him, born in humble circumstances to rescue humanity from our condition of malice, envy, and spiritual separation. God's love appeared not because of our good works, but according to His mercy. Through Christ, we receive soul cleansing, invitation into God's family, and eternal life. Whether you need to trust Christ for the first time, return after drifting away, or go deeper in your faith, this Christmas offers an opportunity to move beyond surface celebration to deep reflection on God's incredible gift of Himself.https://www.ankenyfree.church

12.21.25 | HAVE A MARY CHRISTMAS | PASTOR TODD SMITH

In this message Pastor Todd teaches on Jesus' divinity and Jesus' humanity through His titles revealed in scripture.

Pastor Todd Coconato provides five ways to break free from what he calls "the matrix"—the system of globalists, elites, propaganda, psychological warfare, mainstream media, Hollywood, and social media. He characterizes this system as the "Babylon system" that is constantly inundating believers. Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The five ways to break free from the matrix: Saturate your mind with the word of God. The world programs the mind, but the Word transforms it. This involves replacing lies with the truth, which sets people free, and daily reading, speaking, meditating on, and praying scripture. The speaker emphasizes that biblical illiteracy is a major problem. Guard your gates. Be disciplined about input, as the enemy programs through entertainment, news, fear, social media, and culture. The speaker references Proverbs 4:23, advising listeners to "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life". He encourages choosing purity over pollution, setting boundaries, and fasting from worldly noise. Walk in the Holy Spirit, not the flesh. The Bible, in Galatians 5:16, says to "Walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh". The Holy Spirit reveals truth, breaks strongholds, and provides discernment and wisdom, which is necessary to avoid manipulation. This involves testing the spirits and confirming them against God's word. Submit to Christ's lordship, not the world's agenda. Freedom comes when Jesus is Lord, not just Savior. Citing John 8:36, the speaker states, "If the son of man makes you free, you shall be free indeed". Breaking the matrix occurs when you stop agreeing with culture and start obeying Christ. Practice spiritual warfare. This means destroying false beliefs at the root using God's power. The speaker cites 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, noting that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty... For pulling down strongholds". This is done by rebuking lies, casting down imaginations, declaring God's word, and taking thoughts captive to Christ. The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to walk in the freedom of the Lord. He states that the kingdom of God awakens, strengthens, renews, and sets you free, in contrast to the world's matrix, which wants to numb, distract, conform, deceive, and control. Freedom is found in surrender to Jesus.   At the end of the video, he mentions he has a forthcoming book called The Isaiah Blueprint, which explains how to survive the current times based on what God has shown him in the book of Isaiah.

How are you responding to God's goodness this Christmas? In this message from Caleb, Pastor Todd, and Eric, we're shown how being present, being generous, and making room for Jesus can help us respond well this Christmas.

In a world filled with tragedy and suffering, we naturally wonder where God is in the darkness. John 1:1-3 reveals that our God is not like the limited gods of other religions, but is the Creator of all things who brought everything into existence from nothing. While darkness exists in our world through external evil, internal struggles, and relational pain, God didn't remain distant from our suffering. Jesus Christ, the Word who was with God and was God, entered our darkness by taking on human flesh and experiencing our pain. He is the true light that dispels darkness and gives life to all who believe. We are called to both see this light by trusting in Christ and share this light by bearing witness to others in our spheres of influence.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Are You Spiritually Exhausted? | Pastor Todd Coconato    Website: www.PastorTodd.org   To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   Are you spiritually exhausted, weary in well doing, or feeling like your fire has been dimmed in this intense hour. On today's Todd Coconato Show we are talking about how to fight spiritual exhaustion and be refreshed in the presence of the Lord. The Bible tells us, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9 NKJV). Jesus invites us, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NKJV). Isaiah reminds us that God “gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength” (Isaiah 40:29 NKJV), and that those who wait on the Lord “shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV).   We are going to talk about how to cast your cares on Him, how to be filled again with the Holy Spirit, and how to stand strong in this challenging season without burning out. This is a word for you today. Tune in right now.

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

Colossians 4:7-17 | December 7, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithThe sermon explores the profound truth that God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Drawing from the "parade of names" in Colossians 4, Pastor Todd highlights individuals like Tychicus, Onesimus, and Mark, whose lives exemplify dependability, transformation, and forgiveness. These unsung heroes, much like Norman Borlaug who saved a billion lives, demonstrate that God's work often unfolds through those who are simply present and committed. This message challenges us to consider what story our own lives are currently telling.

How to not be deceived. Prepare for a powerful, eye-opening broadcast…tonight!

In today's episode, Pastor Todd shares from our Sunday PM service (11/23/25) talking about the enemies of the Cross of Christ.There are things that come against us as Christians because Jesus said that they would come. However, because we live in Christ & Christ in us, we WILL see the victory over the attacks and plans of the enemy. Surround yourself with those who aren't afraid of a challenge and know that if God is with you, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
