Bobby McDonald - Pursue righteousness
Bobby McDonald · Sep 1, 2014 · 15m · NCCF Church
Pursuing righteousness means living in a way that reflects Christ, which requires two main actions: dying to self and practicing genuine repentance. True righteousness comes from Christ, meaning we must be willing to deny ourselves in all situations, regardless of our circumstances. Furthermore, genuine repentance involves a deep, regretful sorrow over sin, leading to a desire to change future actions, rather than just saying sorry after the fact.
Bobby McDonald - Simple Obedience
Bobby McDonald · Aug 31, 2015 · 5m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true spiritual growth comes not just from meditating on scripture, but from practicing simple, childlike obedience to what God reveals. The speaker emphasizes that applying plain biblical principles, such as working heartily for the Lord or being quick to listen and slow to speak, is the way to gain deeper understanding and build up the body of Christ.
Bobby McDonald - Become A Zero To Be One With Others
Bobby McDonald · Sep 6, 2021 · 23m · NCCF Church
The sermon emphasizes that Christian unity is achieved by becoming a 'zero'—meaning one must be willing to die to self, take the low place, and prioritize Christ's will over personal desires or opinions. Drawing from Ephesians 4, the speaker stresses that preserving unity requires humility, gentleness, patience, and love, which are necessary preparations for eternal fellowship in heaven. Ultimately, unity is found by agreeing on the core belief that God and Jesus are everything, even when disagreeing on secondary issues.

Bobby McDonald · Jan 31, 2019 · 22m · NCCF Church

Bobby McDonald - Our Calling Is Clear - To Be Like Jesus
Bobby McDonald · Oct 18, 2018 · 9m · NCCF Church
The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus, which is achieved both individually through purity and corporately within the local church. This pursuit of holiness is not an end in itself, but rather the means to achieve oneness with God and with other believers. Striving against sin is presented as the necessary process, like physical therapy, that gradually changes us and makes it easier to deny our own will.
Bobby McDonald - Part of God's Plan
Bobby McDonald · Mar 12, 2018 · 16m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians must live as new creations, no longer living for themselves but for the one who died and rose again—Christ. To achieve this, believers must strive to please God in all aspects of life, which involves cultivating a heart that desires God's will over the desires of the flesh. The speaker emphasizes developing a hatred for sin and a deep love for righteousness to remain sensitive to God's leading.
Bobby McDonald - Devoting Ourselves To God's Word
Bobby McDonald · Feb 22, 2016 · 11m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of devoting oneself completely to God's Word, going beyond mere study to a deep, personal devotion. The speaker emphasizes that true devotion involves a desire to live out what is learned, focusing on the quality of time spent meditating on Scripture for personal transformation rather than just accumulating knowledge. This devotion is presented as essential for spiritual growth and bearing witness to Christ.
Bobby McDonald - Fading To The Background So Jesus Can Be Preeminent
Bobby McDonald · Jun 18, 2019 · 18m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians must intentionally fade into the background so that Jesus Christ can remain preeminent in all areas of life. Drawing an analogy to photography, the speaker argues that when Jesus is the clear focus, everything else becomes secondary or blurry. Practically, this requires obedience, as Jesus modeled by humbling himself to the lowest place, and it means prioritizing God's will over personal desires, even in family conflicts. The goal is for the church and our homes to reflect Jesus's glory, not our own achievements.
Bobby McDonald - Obey God And Leave The Consequences To Him
Bobby McDonald · Jan 26, 2016 · 5m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians should prioritize seeking and doing God's will in every aspect of life, even if the outcome is imperfect. The speaker emphasizes that approaching God with a surrendered attitude—asking, "Lord, what is your will?"—is what pleases Him, regardless of personal mistakes. This principle is supported by examples from Israel's history and scripture, encouraging believers to live for God's glory in all things.
Bobby McDonald - Living Carefully
Bobby McDonald · Oct 31, 2016 · 13m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of taking God's whispers and convictions seriously, rather than ignoring them like burying one's head in the sand. The speaker emphasizes that godly people are characterized by carefulness in all areas—words, actions, thoughts, and relationships—and are quick to obey God's gentle guidance. True devotion involves a deep fear of God, which manifests as a willingness to immediately repent and act upon His word.
Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:18
Bobby McDonald · Mar 9, 2015 · 8m · NCCF Church
Jesus Christ is established as the head of the body, which is the church, meaning believers are meant to actively participate in God's work rather than passively receiving it. The sermon emphasizes that Christian life requires taking responsibility and laboring for Christ, both in personal growth and within the community. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that Jesus remains preeminent in every area of life, causing all other concerns to dim.
Bobby McDonald - Jesus Often Slipped Away To The Wilderness To Pray
Bobby McDonald · Feb 9, 2017 · 13m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians must strive to be an intimate reflection of Jesus by prioritizing deep, personal communion with God. The speaker draws lessons from Jesus' habit of withdrawing to the wilderness to pray, emphasizing the need for constant, intentional prayer and closeness to the Father. He urges listeners to actively fight sin through repentance to maintain this vital connection with Christ.
8. Just Keep Going — Bobby McDonald — July 16, 2023
Bobby McDonald · Jul 20, 2023 · 29m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message encourages believers to live in a state of complete rest and surrender, mirroring Jesus dwelling in the bosom of the Father. This is achieved not by being complacent, but by prioritizing seeking God's face and kingdom above all else, trusting Him with our anxieties and daily struggles. True rest comes from committing our will and burdens to God, allowing Him to work in our lives.

Bobby McDonald · Apr 19, 2015 · 3m 55s · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians should strive to be presented to God at the end as holy, blameless, and beyond reproach. This goal is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately by building up one another within the church. The speaker emphasizes that the best gifts we can give God are our character and the spiritual cleansing we achieve for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Three Practical Areas of Surrender - Bobby McDonald - July 29, 2014 (Session 4)

The central message is that Christ must have preeminence in every area of life, drawing parallels from Colossians 1:18 and Matthew 13:44.

He encourages the audience to seek out people whose lives demonstrate this high value placed on Christ, as this inspires one's own faith journey.
Bobby McDonald - Don’t Live The Christian Life Without Jesus Himself
Bobby McDonald · Jul 20, 2020 · 14m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true Christian living requires a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than merely performing religious duties or outward acts of piety.

Bobby McDonald - Single-Minded Seeking
Bobby McDonald · Aug 29, 2022 · 22m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of single-mindedly seeking God above all else, making Him the absolute priority in life. The speaker emphasizes that this pursuit requires continuous effort, drawing parallels from Deuteronomy and Jesus' teaching to 'seek first His kingdom.' True seeking is demonstrated by living righteously, keeping God's commandments, and relying on the Holy Spirit's grace, rather than self-effort.
Bobby McDonald - What was Jesus like
Bobby McDonald · Jan 5, 2015 · 16m · NCCF Church
The central goal for Christians is to reflect Jesus Christ, which is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately within the local church. The speaker argues that the best guide to Jesus' life is not observation, but rather following what Scripture commands, as Jesus' teachings, like the Sermon on the Mount, were rooted in his lived experience. Key aspects of his life included gentleness, a deep hunger for righteousness, immense mercy, and a focus on inward purity and heavenly concerns.
Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:21
Bobby McDonald · Mar 29, 2015 · 7m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of actively taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ to combat a mind set hostile toward God. The speaker emphasizes that true victory over temptation requires a proactive surrender—a pre-determined decision to yield one's will to God's desires, much like programming a safe system. This surrender, exemplified by watching and praying, allows believers to overcome temptations when they arise.
