Bobby McDonald - When we are angry or someone is angry at us
Bobby McDonald · Mar 5, 2018 · 20m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christians must actively put away anger, wrath, and bitterness, recognizing that human anger cannot achieve God's righteousness. The speaker emphasizes that holding grudges is self-destructive, comparing it to drinking poison. Furthermore, he encourages listeners that God has the power to transform our weaknesses, like anger, into a passion for His kingdom.
Bobby McDonald - A Servant Is One Who Lives For The One Who Loves Him
Bobby McDonald · Feb 11, 2018 · 22m · NCCF Church
A true servant of the Lord serves out of genuine love and gratitude for God, not merely out of routine or for self-glory. The speaker warns against performing religious acts or service with hidden motives, comparing this to the Pharisee who prayed to himself. The core message is maintaining a deep, personal relationship with God, ensuring that service flows from a heart of love rather than obligation or habit.
Bobby McDonald - Growing In Passion For God And Overcoming Lukewarmness
Bobby McDonald · Aug 15, 2016 · 28m · NCCF Church
The speaker advises that maintaining passion for God is not a one-time fix but a daily pursuit requiring consistent effort, much like physical health. He cautions against confusing emotional highs with genuine devotion, emphasizing that true spiritual life comes from seeking God daily through the Holy Spirit, not just through intense feelings. Ultimately, believers should focus on doing their best with what they have, resisting Satan's accusations of inadequacy by serving the Lord cheerfully.
Bobby McDonald - Set Free
Bobby McDonald · Nov 14, 2016 · 9m · NCCF Church
The central message is that salvation and freedom are found entirely through Christ, not through personal effort or adherence to law. The speaker compares the experience to being rescued from a prison or death row, illustrating that believers were once trapped under sin's condemnation but were freed by God's grace through Jesus. This freedom means not only being forgiven but also being empowered by the Spirit to live a life free from the power of sin.
Bobby McDonald - 9 Schemes of Satan
Bobby McDonald · Jun 3, 2024 · 33m · NCCF Church
Bobby McDonald identifies nine schemes Satan uses to pull Christians away from Jesus through temptation and sin. He emphasizes that recognizing Satan's specific strategies—such as hiding consequences while emphasizing the appeal of sin, justifying sinful behavior, and ignoring small transgressions—equips believers to fight more effectively. McDonald calls Christians to flee temptation when possible, resist justification for sin, and take even minor sins seriously in pursuit of becoming exact reflections of Christ.
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 - Put Away All Bitterness
Bobby McDonald · Oct 18, 2021 · 18m · NCCF Church
The central message is the necessity of actively removing all bitterness, which is described as a hidden, poisonous root that causes trouble. The speaker shares personal testimony about realizing his own tendency toward resentment and emphasizes that true Christian love involves genuinely desiring the eternal good of every person, even enemies. He stresses that this transformation is accomplished through the Holy Spirit, leading to a heart that reflects God's unconditional love.
Bobby McDonald - Don't Let Routine Replace Relationship
Bobby McDonald · Jan 9, 2018 · 18m · NCCF Church
The central message is that Christian life must be a genuine relationship with God, not merely a routine of religious activities. The speaker warns against letting the motions of faith—like regular Bible study or prayer—replace the heart's connection to God. He emphasizes that true spiritual health requires radical honesty before God, acknowledging where joy or devotion has waned, and maintaining a balance between recognizing personal inability and trusting in God's power to accomplish everything through Christ.
Bobby McDonald - 9 Tactics of Satan
Bobby McDonald · Apr 5, 2021 · 36m · NCCF Church
The speaker discusses nine tactics Satan uses to tempt Christians into sin, emphasizing that the devil seeks small compromises rather than just major sins. He details the first tactic as doubting God's love and goodness, using examples from Genesis and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. He also addresses the tactic of fear, drawing comfort from the assurance that salvation rests on God's perfect love, not on personal performance.
