Bobby McDonald - We Reap What We Sow
Bobby McDonald · Sep 19, 2016 · 9m · NCCF Church
The sermon emphasizes the principle of sowing and reaping, advising that what we consciously feed our minds will eventually manifest in our lives. To cultivate a life reflecting Christ, we must guard our hearts by controlling the input to our minds, avoiding negative sources like gossip or excessive focus on materialism. True transformation comes when the truth of God's Word is sown into a heart that receives it with faith, leading to a good harvest.
Bobby McDonald - Grow In Knowing God, Not Just Knowing About Him
Bobby McDonald · Feb 26, 2018 · 15m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christian life must move beyond merely knowing *about* God to deeply *knowing* Him through personal experience and obedience. The speaker warns against intellectualism, cautioning that a head full of knowledge without corresponding love or action is meaningless, comparing it to a perpetual student who never graduates. True faith requires seeing oneself as 'as good as dead' until God works in one's life, leading to tangible obedience rather than just intellectual excitement.
Bobby McDonald - It May Not Be Easy, But He Has Guaranteed Us The Victory
Bobby McDonald · Nov 7, 2016 · 10m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians have guaranteed victory through Christ's authority, which is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that while God provides the power to overcome sin and temptation, He does not promise that the process will be easy; rather, the struggle is necessary for believers to learn dependence on Him through prayer and His Word. The ultimate goal is to participate actively with Christ in the spiritual battle against the devil.
Bobby McDonald - Security In God's Love For Us
Bobby McDonald · Nov 21, 2016 · 9m · NCCF Church
The core message is that our security comes from the unwavering love of God, which guarantees victory through all life's trials, such as tribulation or persecution. This truth changes our attitude, removes fear, and empowers us to fight sin because we know we have the victory in Christ. Believers must continually return to God's love and strength, much like David and Jesus, to remain grounded against lies that try to convince them otherwise.
Bobby McDonald - Shine The Light On Your Deeds To See Their Origin
Bobby McDonald · Apr 20, 2020 · 5m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true Christian living requires bringing all deeds, thoughts, and attitudes into the light of God's truth to ensure they are genuinely wrought by God's will. The speaker encourages believers to adopt the attitude of constant self-examination, similar to David's plea, to purify their inner selves. By continually checking one's actions and thoughts against the Lord's will, believers can grow closer to reflecting Jesus.
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 - How Deep The Father's Love Is For Us
Bobby McDonald · Feb 1, 2017 · 10m · NCCF Church
The central message is the profound, comforting, and leading nature of God's love, exemplified by the image of a father holding a child's hand. God's presence provides ultimate comfort, refuge, and guidance through life's uncertainties, surpassing any temporary comfort. Furthermore, the sermon emphasizes the immeasurable value of God's love, which was demonstrated by the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, something no earthly riches could ever compare to.
Bobby McDonald - A Precious Picture of Jesus
Bobby McDonald · Apr 8, 2024 · 20m · NCCF Church
Bobby McDonald explores Jesus as both the door and the Good Shepherd from John 10, presenting a powerful image of Jesus standing in the doorway of the sheep pen to protect His flock from all threats—external dangers and internal condemnation. He emphasizes that believers can rest in complete security and freedom from fear, guilt, and sin because nothing enters their lives without God's permission and approval. The central lesson is that recognizing Jesus as our protective shepherd should transform how we view trials and temptations, leading us to treasure Jesus above all worldly pursuits and status.
Bobby McDonald - Taking Sin Lightly
Bobby McDonald · Dec 27, 2017 · 22m · NCCF Church
The speaker warns against treating sin lightly, citing Jude 1:4 regarding those who misuse God's grace as a license to sin. He argues that even though Jesus paid the ultimate price for sin, every sin still has a cost, and minimizing sin dishonors the sacrifice made on the cross. Furthermore, he cautions against the mindset that grace permits continued sin, referencing Romans 6 to show that choosing to sin after receiving grace results in death, while obedience leads to sanctification and eternal life.
Bobby Mcdonald - God Creates Needs to Make us Needy for Him
Bobby McDonald · Oct 16, 2013 · 5m · NCCF Church
The speaker discusses the concept of being filled by the Holy Spirit, noting that those who are thirsty or hungry are the ones who receive it. He shares personal struggles with self-sufficiency and the realization that life's trials, like Paul's thorn, are necessary for humility. Furthermore, he teaches that living in the presence of God is deeper than constantly thinking about Him, emphasizing that faithfulness in daily tasks, like work, is about pleasing God rather than constant mental focus.
Bobby McDonald - God’s Will For Us Is To Rest In Him
Bobby McDonald · Dec 14, 2021 · 17m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true rest comes from repentance and trusting in God's presence, rather than relying on personal strength or outward plans. The speaker emphasizes that our primary fight should be internal—maintaining a right attitude and heart—and reminds listeners that God's constant presence is the ultimate anchor for rest, even when circumstances are difficult.
Bobby McDonald - Inheriting God's Promises Through Faith And Patience
Bobby McDonald · Apr 25, 2016 · 10m · NCCF Church
True faith requires not only works but also patience to fully inherit God's promises. The speaker emphasizes that God's timing is often slower than ours, requiring endurance and perseverance. He urges listeners not to give up hope in their faith, relationships, or ministry, as doing so means missing out on the blessings God has prepared.
Bobby McDonald - Examining Ourselves To See If We Are In The Faith
Bobby McDonald · Jun 2, 2016 · 21m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity for Christians to regularly examine themselves to ensure their faith is genuine, regardless of how long they have been in the church. True spiritual growth is proven not by tenure, but by observable inner changes in humility, gratitude, and fellowship. The speaker emphasizes that examining one's life against God's Word, like comparing colored toothbrushes in dim light, reveals areas of sin or spiritual blindness that must be addressed.
Bobby McDonald - A Special Love
Bobby McDonald · Nov 28, 2016 · 7m · NCCF Church
The central message is that God's love for humanity is infinitely greater than any human relationship, using covenants like marriage as mere symbols. The speaker emphasizes that God's love is so personal that He treats each individual as if they were the only one, which is why He forbids polygamy. Ultimately, understanding this boundless love requires not just study, but a revelation from the Holy Spirit, as it surpasses human comprehension.
That I May Know Christ Intimately - Bobby Mcdonald
Bobby McDonald · Jan 7, 2015 · 26m · CFC India
The speaker emphasizes that the Christian life is more than just waiting for heaven; it involves cultivating an intimate relationship with Christ right now. He draws from the New Covenant truths to teach that believers can experience 'heaven on Earth' by knowing Christ deeply. The message also touches on freedom from various struggles like guilt, discouragement, and legalism, drawing parallels to Peter's miraculous release from prison.
Bobby McDonald - God is faithful to keep His promises
Bobby McDonald · Jan 15, 2018 · 14m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true Christian love for God is demonstrated not by outward religious acts, but by an inward transformation of thought and motive, reflecting the desire to live for the Lord. The speaker emphasizes that God is faithful to His promises, encouraging believers to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence, as demonstrated by his personal experience overcoming the temptation of a loose tongue through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Bobby McDonald - 2 Things God Impressed Upon Me In 2016
Bobby McDonald · Dec 26, 2016 · 9m · NCCF Church
The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate goal for Christians is to be a reflection of Jesus, which requires both personal purity and functioning within the local church. He stresses that true discipleship means centering one's entire life and prayers around God's will, rather than personal desires. Furthermore, he argues that the most valuable work on earth is building up the church, which is achieved through obedience and the breaking of one's own will.
Bobby McDonald - Spiritual Dryness
Bobby McDonald · Nov 15, 2021 · 17m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christian life requires a consistent, daily devotion to God, viewing spiritual dryness not as a failure but as a signal to recommit. The speaker emphasizes that all life's ambitions and pursuits lose meaning outside of knowing Jesus, and true devotion is found by continually seeking Him with the whole heart. This pursuit must be a daily walk, like tending a fire, rather than expecting a one-time fix.
Bobby McDonald - Seek Wisdom, Fear The Lord, Remain Needy
Bobby McDonald · Feb 15, 2022 · 17m · NCCF Church
The central message is that true wisdom comes from being humble, accepting counsel, and acknowledging our need for God. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest danger is assuming self-sufficiency, urging listeners to adopt a constant sense of neediness before God. This humility, or being 'poor in spirit,' is presented as the foundation for all wisdom and spiritual growth.
Bobby McDonald - Abiding, Pruning, Knowing the Power of His Resurrection
Bobby McDonald · Apr 10, 2023 · 27m · NCCF Church
The central message emphasizes that Christian growth requires being grounded in God's unchanging Word ('Fact') rather than fluctuating feelings. The sermon draws heavily on the concept of resurrection, arguing that the power of Christ's resurrection is not just a future hope, but a present reality enabling believers to live a 'resurrected life.' This life means being free from the dominion of sin and having the power to overcome temptations and control one's actions.
Seven Things That Help Me Persevere — Bobby McDonald — June 12, 2022
Bobby McDonald · Jun 17, 2022 · 41m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker emphasizes that perseverance, or endurance, is vital for a spiritual life to have lasting value. He shares that the key to endurance is love, citing the example of a man working tirelessly for his son. He then details that the first of seven things that help him persevere is consistent prayer, drawing from Luke 18:1 to teach not to lose heart in prayer, viewing it as a necessary refreshment rather than a duty.
Bobby McDonald - New Covenant Disciples Are Kind
Bobby McDonald · Jan 30, 2023 · 26m · NCCF Church
The sermon contrasts two men who experience identical difficult days, illustrating that the difference lies in their response. The first man reacts to every setback with frustration and anger, while the second man approaches each circumstance with a prayer to do God's will. True discipleship, like the second man, means presenting one's body as a living sacrifice, living with the attitude of existing solely to serve God's will.
Bobby McDonald - Our Greatest Prayer Is For God Himself
Bobby McDonald · Feb 20, 2018 · 15m · NCCF Church
The central message is that the greatest prayer is not for specific answers, but for God's presence itself. Drawing from the parable of the persistent widow, the speaker emphasizes that true faith is characterized by continually returning to God, even when struggles or unanswered prayers occur. This persistent return signifies a deep need for God's presence, which is more valuable than any immediate earthly answer.
Bobby McDonald - Sorrow Over Sin, Fellowship With God
Bobby McDonald · Aug 8, 2016 · 13m · NCCF Church
The speaker argues that a deep, godly sorrow over sin is foundational to a personal and intimate relationship with God.

He concludes that God uses convictions and rebukes to guide us toward greater Christlikeness, leading to an appreciation of His mercy.
