Bobby McDonald - Tangible Evidence Of The Holy Spirit Within Us
Bobby McDonald · Jul 11, 2016 · 8m · NCCF Church
The tangible evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is demonstrated by a growing hatred for sin and a love for what God loves. Drawing from the New Covenant, the Spirit writes God's desires on the heart, making believers naturally desire goodness and reject evil. This process is described as moving 'from glory to glory,' proving God is working in us even when we cannot see the progress.
Bobby McDonald - Reasons For Snake Bites
Bobby McDonald · Feb 15, 2016 · 25m · NCCF Church
The speaker encourages the audience not to feel useless, reminding them that God has a specific role for everyone in the body of Christ, comparing it to the interconnectedness of electrical wiring. He uses the analogy of a snake bite—representing life's difficult, impossible-to-solve circumstances—to teach that these hardships ultimately drive us to seek God. The core message is to rest in God's sovereignty, accepting that we do not need to know the 'why' of everything, but rather to trust Him as our only hope.
Bobby McDonald - Noah Built The Ark Moved By A Fear Of The Lord
Bobby McDonald · Nov 19, 2019 · 21m · NCCF Church
The speaker uses Noah building the Ark as an analogy to illustrate that a genuine fear of God compels one to pursue perfection in their spiritual life. He argues that merely going through the motions (religion) is insufficient; true faith requires meticulous care, ensuring that one's life is sound enough to withstand future trials, like the coming flood. This pursuit of perfection is rooted in the desire to be blameless before God.
Bobby McDonald - Stiff-necked vs Easily Broken
Bobby McDonald · Jul 1, 2019 · 22m · NCCF Church
The central message is the need for Christians to overcome the stubbornness of a 'stiff-necked' self-will by embracing a broken will characterized by love. The speaker argues that clinging to one's own will leads to conflict and a loss of peace, whereas yielding to God's will, exemplified by the patience and forbearance described in 1 Corinthians 13, brings true rest and freedom. This surrender is best illustrated by the selfless devotion of a parent.
Bobby McDonald - Jesus Suffered Shame And Humiliation For Me
Bobby McDonald · Dec 28, 2015 · 10m · NCCF Church
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's word requires having the love of God in one's heart, comparing this to needing a clear lens to see the truth. He draws from scripture to show that recognizing our own sinfulness and the depth of God's forgiveness leads to a greater love for God. The sermon concludes by focusing on the profound humiliation Jesus endured, suggesting that the shame before the Father was greater than the shame of man.
Bobby McDonald - The Agony of Jesus
Bobby McDonald · Oct 24, 2017 · 12m · NCCF Church
The central message is that our desire to love God stems from recognizing His prior love, exemplified by Jesus's ultimate sacrifice. The speaker emphasizes meditating on the agony Jesus endured in Gethsemane, realizing that this profound suffering fueled His love. Ultimately, this deep appreciation for Christ's sacrifice should motivate believers to overcome sin and live in constant praise rather than complaint.
Bobby McDonald - Overcoming Unbelief and Negative Attitudes
Bobby McDonald · Oct 26, 2020 · 26m · NCCF Church
The speaker uses the story of the Israelites in Numbers 14 to illustrate the danger of unbelief and negative attitudes, contrasting it with the faith shown by Joshua and Caleb. He emphasizes that a positive, hopeful attitude, which is rooted in faith, is crucial, noting that even good outward actions can be undermined by a negative heart. Ultimately, he defines a negative attitude as unbelief—a declaration that God is not good or that things will not work out for the best.
Bobby McDonald - The Blessing Of Disappointment
Bobby McDonald · Jul 1, 2024 · 21m · NCCF Church
Bobby McDonald teaches that disappointment, while not sinful in itself, becomes sinful when we hold onto discouragement and complaint against God. He explains that God sometimes allows disappointment to loosen our grip on things outside His will, using Hebrews 12:26-27 to illustrate how God shakes away what cannot remain so we focus on Him. This brokenness and loosening of attachments—whether to personal expectations, relationships, circumstances, or even self-disappointment—is essential for spiritual growth and freedom in Christ.
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.
