Why Proverbs?  Over the next 6 weeks we will dig into the wisdom of Proverbs at North Bullitt Christian Church. The question begs to be asked: Why Proverbs? As a local church that stands on the authority and applicability of all of the Bible, it is imperative that we show how each part of theContinue reading “Why Proverbs?”

“Why in the world would you preach Habakkuk?” This question came to mind as Nate Stevens, our Discipleship Director, and I were brainstorming series ideas late 2021. He mentioned Habakkuk and I initially wrinkled my nose at the proposition, which then drove me to conclude that we must preach through it. Habakkuk deals with anContinue reading “Why Habakkuk?”

Two or three weeks ago, I began taking my Sunday school class through the book of Job. In a conversation with one of my friends recently about this, he exclaimed, “Geez Nate, why did you pick that book! It’s so depressing.” I thought for a moment, chuckled, ( as previously, I had taught them throughContinue reading “Why Job?”

“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:30-31 (ESV)  The Gospel of John is the most unique of theContinue reading “John: May He Be Known”

Beginning Sunday, September 19, we will launch an eleven week sermon series in the book of 1 Peter. Peter is an often neglected book of the New Testament, unfortunately overshadowed by Paul’s writings, the excitement of the Gospels, and the mystery of Revelation. However, this book is profitable, as is all of Scripture, for ourContinue reading “Why 1 Peter?”

This past Sunday, we announced that free copies of Gentle and Lowly, and Multiply were available in the back of the auditorium to pick up. It was amazing to see all the Multiply copies being picked up, and over half the Gentle and Lowly copies taken as well. With a post already written about GentleContinue reading “Why Multiply?”

In November 2020, I found myself at a local pastor’s fellowship, where I was given Gentle and Lowly written by Dane Ortlund. The book piqued my interest, not primarily because of the title, but rather, because of the author’s last name. Dane is the son of Ray Ortlund. Ray is a pastor and author thatContinue reading “Why Gentle and Lowly?”

As one of the lesser known books of the Bible, Zechariah stands alongside Malachi at the end of the Old Testament. With fourteen chapters of prophecies and poems, there is much we can learn from reading this minor prophet’s words. If you are looking for a “time stamp” to place onto Zechariah, then these writingsContinue reading “Why Zechariah?”

Our Kid’s Ministry program here at NBCC uses the Gospel Story Bible and the accompanying devotionals for our Sunday morning curriculum.  I would like to share a little about these books, and why our church leadership feels they are a great fit for our kids and families. The lessons start with Creation, and work allContinue reading “Why The Gospel Story?”

Why would I want to study the book of Isaiah? Some might ask this question and wonder, “what could this have to do with me, a member of the New Testament church?” There are several ways one might go about answering this question. First and foremost, as a part of our Bible, we are toldContinue reading “Why Isaiah?”
