Jeremy Utley - A Caretaker of the Vineyards
Jeremy Utley · Sep 7, 2020 · 32m · NCCF Church
The Lord builds the church, but He equips it through every individual member functioning properly, like the joints of a body. The speaker warns against neglecting one's personal spiritual life—one's 'own vineyard'—while focusing on ministry or serving others. To care for one's own vineyard, one must examine the fruit of love, the soil of humility, and other aspects of personal devotion.
Jeremy Utley - Resist Discouragement
Jeremy Utley · Jun 7, 2017 · 18m · NCCF Church
The speaker encourages the congregation to overcome discouragement by actively sharing what the Lord teaches them, drawing a parallel to the principle that 'he who waters others will be watering himself.' He emphasizes that holding back spiritual gifts or encouragement causes them to dry up, urging listeners to take a step of faith. Furthermore, he teaches that feeling 'in a funk' is a temptation, and the prescribed response is to resist it and choose to rejoice in the Lord always.
Jeremy Utley - Don't Take Issue With Any of the Lord's Dealings
Jeremy Utley · Jul 21, 2021 · 14m · NCCF Church
The central message is to accept all of God's dealings without grumbling or disputing, remembering that taking issue with God's plan is a sign of pride that hinders receiving grace. Instead of wishing for different circumstances—whether concerning oneself, others, or situations—one must gain a revelation to see every challenge as a divinely appointed pathway for God's glory and personal growth in Christ.
Jeremy Utley - Repentance without Regret
Jeremy Utley · Jul 19, 2015 · 8m · NCCF Church
The sermon explores the concept of 'repentance without regret,' drawing from 2 Corinthians 7, which teaches that sorrow according to God's will produces repentance that does not lead to regret. The speaker emphasizes that sin's revelation is necessary for repentance, and the true measure of handling sin is not the sin itself, but the subsequent response—taking it seriously and coming to God. Furthermore, the message advises that gentleness must be practiced by remembering God's own kindness toward us and by actively seeking the Holy Spirit's help in every interaction.
Jeremy Utley - Weeding Out All Bitterness Until We’re As Gentle As Jesus
Jeremy Utley · Mar 21, 2018 · 20m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of actively rooting out bitterness to become a reflection of Jesus' gentleness and humility. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves moving away from self-condemnation and instead focusing on receiving rest and grace from God. He warns that bitterness, like a weed, can spread and defile not only the individual but also those in their community.
Jeremy Utley - Mourning over the "small sins"
Jeremy Utley · Oct 19, 2015 · 21m · NCCF Church
The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires a commitment to pleasing God, which involves both cleansing ourselves of sin and restoring what has been neglected. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 29, he suggests that true worship requires us to invite Jesus, the High Priest, into our hearts to clean out all uncleanness. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of mourning over even 'small sins,' noting that this brokenheartedness is necessary to fully experience God's comfort and ministry.
Jeremy Utley - Becoming True Worshipers
Jeremy Utley · Jul 24, 2020 · 37m · NCCF Church
True worship is not merely singing or being moved by music, but rather presenting one's entire body as a living and holy sacrifice to God. Drawing from John 4 and Romans 12, the message emphasizes that true worship is demonstrated by living in spirit and truth, especially during times of temptation or undesirable circumstances. The speaker urges the audience to continually renew their minds and offer their lives to God without hesitation, like providing a lamb morning by morning.
Jeremy Utley - The Secret to Fullness of Joy
Jeremy Utley · Jun 30, 2025 · 22m · NCCF Church
Jeremy Utley teaches from Psalm 16 that fullness of joy comes through continually setting the Lord before us, rather than being consumed by news, problems, plans, personal track record, dread, or other people. He challenges disciples to prioritize an unchanging relationship with God in the present moment over temporal concerns, emphasizing that this is the lifestyle of those who can testify to God's presence as their greatest satisfaction.
Jeremy Utley - Surviving the Terrible Twos
Jeremy Utley · Nov 2, 2020 · 22m · NCCF Church
The sermon centers on the profound privilege of 'receiving' Jesus, drawing parallels from Zacchaeus and Levi. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest opportunity to receive Christ is by receiving children in Jesus' name, which signifies living in the light of His mercy and welcome. This act is not based on obligation, personal connection, or mere compassion, but on recognizing the grace shown to us by Christ.
The Path To Partaking Of All that God Has Prepared - Jeremy Utley
Jeremy Utley · Sep 29, 2023 · 26m · CFC India
The central message is that true Christian living, and partaking of God's divine nature, is founded upon God's promises rather than merely adhering to His commands. The speaker shares his personal transformation from a nominal Christian who focused on theology to one who now bases his life and prayers on God's revealed promises. He suggests that examining one's prayers—praying God's promises rather than personal desires—is a key evidence of this foundation.
Jeremy Utley - Colossians 1:28
Jeremy Utley · Jun 22, 2015 · 7m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians must strive to be a reflection of Jesus Christ, both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that false ideas about God, often stemming from a disconnect between personal experience and scripture, must be challenged. True fulfillment of God's promises requires meeting the conditions He sets, and the church has a ministry to admonish one another in love through self-examination.
Jeremy Utley - Why The Lord Allows Us to Face Trying Circumstances
Jeremy Utley · Aug 27, 2018 · 22m · NCCF Church
The sermon explores why God allows us to face difficult circumstances, arguing that these trials serve as mirrors reflecting our true spiritual state. The central message is that these experiences are designed to reveal the 'filth of our flesh' so that we can crucify our own desires and become empty vessels for Christ. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that true mercy towards others stems from recognizing and remembering God's own abundant mercy toward us.
Jeremy Utley - The God Who Re-stirs Our Hearts
Jeremy Utley · Jul 6, 2020 · 10m · NCCF Church
The central message is that God initiates and sustains our spiritual journey, constantly stirring our hearts toward Him.

Ultimately, God promises that the 'latter glory' in our lives will surpass any past experiences.
Jeremy Utley - Do You HAVE God's Love For The Body?
Jeremy Utley · Dec 5, 2016 · 11m · NCCF Church
The speaker encourages the audience to live as visible lights in a dark world by refusing to grumble or dispute, recognizing that God is watching our conduct. He emphasizes that true Christian effort requires more than just personal diligence; it necessitates asking God to work in our will and desire, as promised in the New Covenant. Ultimately, the message calls for actively praying for God to stir our hearts and give us the desire to do His will.
Jeremy Utley - The Devoted One Is Blind
Jeremy Utley · Jul 20, 2021 · 16m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true devotion to Christ requires a pure and simple 'blindness'—a total dependence on God, similar to the initial state of needing guidance. The speaker warns against becoming complacent or thinking one 'sees' enough, as this leads to sin remaining. The mark of the devoted one is the ability to listen closely to the Lord's word, which provides spiritual life.
Jeremy Utley - The Pigsty, The Church, and The Bridal Chamber
Jeremy Utley · Jan 30, 2018 · 15m · NCCF Church
The speaker outlines three areas—the pigsty, the church, and the bridal chamber—that can prevent a person from experiencing God's love. He argues that true fatherhood is experienced only when one willfully separates from sin (the pigsty), that religious activity cannot replace constant righteousness (the church), and that even when seemingly close to God, one must be ready to move out of complacency (the bridal chamber).
Jeremy Utley - Philippians 3:18
Jeremy Utley · Sep 24, 2014 · 10m · NCCF Church
The speaker emphasizes the importance of being unified as the body of Christ, drawing heavily from Philippians 3. He cautions against being deceived by mere titles or outward appearances, urging the congregation to carefully observe and emulate those who truly follow the pattern set by the Apostles, particularly Paul. Key examples of this pattern include caring more about the spiritual state of others than any material gift, and rejoicing in suffering for the sake of the church.
Jeremy Utley - Seeking Pure-Hearted Running Mates
Jeremy Utley · Feb 1, 2017 · 29m · NCCF Church
The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. This transformation happens both individually through personal purity and corporately by functioning fully within the local church.
Jeremy Utley - Truths The Lord Has Made Real To My Heart This Year
Jeremy Utley · Sep 12, 2017 · 22m · NCCF Church
The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. He draws from Psalm 126, teaching that reaping a joyful harvest requires sowing God's Word into one's heart with tears and desperation, not indifference. He also shares personal lessons learned, warning against spiritual pride and stressing the need to give all glory to God for every victory.
Jeremy Utley - Defeating the next giant
Jeremy Utley · Jan 15, 2018 · 19m · NCCF Church
The central message is that manifesting the life of Christ requires a constant, willful commitment to taking up one's cross daily, which means being continually delivered over to death for Jesus' sake. The speaker draws a parallel between the Israelites conquering the Promised Land and believers overcoming sin and worldly desires. He advises that one's attitude toward the very next 'giant' in life is the best indicator of one's overall readiness to conquer all remaining struggles.
Jeremy Utley - Submitting to Human Authority in Reverence for the Lord
Jeremy Utley · Apr 1, 2024 · 25m · NCCF Church
Jeremy Utley teaches about the danger of rejecting God's appointed authority, using the story of Korah's rebellion as a warning against pride and insubmission. He emphasizes that submission is a precious virtue in God's order—one that Jesus himself exemplifies eternally—and cautions the church against the subtle pride that questions divine authority, just as Korah questioned Moses' leadership.
Jeremy Utley - Disciplined to avoid useless debates
Jeremy Utley · Dec 7, 2015 · 10m · NCCF Church
The speaker advises Christians to focus on the 'great work' God has called them to rather than getting distracted by useless theological debates. Drawing from Nehemiah and 1 Timothy, he emphasizes that the goal of instruction is love, pure heart, and sincere faith, urging believers to exercise discipline to avoid unprofitable discussions. Ultimately, winning people over comes through obedience and lived example, not through arguments.
Jeremy Utley - Short Circuit The Sin Cycle
Jeremy Utley · Dec 21, 2015 · 11m · NCCF Church
The sermon uses the example of Israel's tendency to reclaim what God has given, contrasting it with Joseph's initial success, to warn believers about complacency. The central message is the need for constant vigilance against the flesh's tendency to rebuild or reclaim areas surrendered to God, even after spiritual progress. The speaker emphasizes that sanctification is an ongoing process requiring diligence to guard against old habits regaining power.
Jeremy Utley - Beholding and Mourning the Slain Lamb
Jeremy Utley · Feb 15, 2021 · 26m · NCCF Church
The speaker discusses the concept of 'mourning' as a vital component of the disciple's journey toward abundant life, drawing from Jesus' words to the mourning. He contrasts mere 'life' (forgiveness) with 'abundant life,' which signifies a deep, Spirit-filled reality characterized by freedom from fear and bitterness. True commitment to this abundant life is measured by one's passion for entering into it, which can be assessed by one's attitude toward conviction of sin.
