Jeremy Utley - Deliverance from Selfish Christianity

Jeremy Utley · Dec 18, 2018 · 29m · NCCF Church

The central message is a warning against 'selfish Christianity,' where spiritual pursuits are focused solely on personal enjoyment and attainment rather than sharing God's blessings with others. The speaker draws from Isaiah 58 to argue that true devotion involves a longing to share what God has already enjoyed, contrasting this with the danger of self-satisfaction, as seen in Jonah and the parable of the lost son. The ultimate calling is to prioritize others' needs, even at personal cost, as exemplified by Christ's sacrifice.

The sermon uses the life of Joshua conquering the Promised Land to illustrate how believers can inherit God's promises.

The central message is that believers are delivered from the *law* of stumbling, enabling them to walk in the light of life by actively seeking to confess sins God convicts them of.

Jeremy Utley · Apr 15, 2020 · 8m · NCCF Church

The central message is that to effectively share the 'cup of salvation' with others, one must first be willing to accept whatever the Lord sends, even if it is painful. The speaker draws a parallel between Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and Peter drawing a sword; just as Jesus was called to drink the cup, the believer must put away the 'sword' of self-defense, justification, and resistance. Only by accepting the Father's will can one minister the salvation to others.

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 - Joining Jesus In Interceding For The Church

Jeremy Utley · Mar 26, 2020 · 13m · NCCF Church

The central message is that Christians must balance receiving rest in Jesus Christ with actively interceding for the church until it is fully established in purity and completeness.

This requires a passionate commitment to seeing the church established in Christ.

Jeremy Utley - Many Who Are First Will Be Last

Jeremy Utley · Sep 27, 2017 · 17m · NCCF Church

Drawing from the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, the speaker emphasizes that those who are established in faith can become complacent, thinking they deserve more reward than others. The central message is to remain humble and recognize that God's grace is freely given, regardless of how long one has been following Him.
