  • Vision: Extend Compassion (Ken LaMont) E4
    Jan 25 2026

    In this message, Pastor Ken explores the third pillar of NPFCC's vision: Extend Compassion. Discover how God's compassionate nature sets Him apart from ancient deities and how Jesus modeled radical compassion throughout His ministry. Through the story of the blind men in Matthew 20 and Jonah's reluctant mission to Nineveh, learn three practical ways to extend God's compassion: recognize needs around you, reach out with passion and preparation, and share Jesus as the ultimate answer. Plus, hear about the upcoming Serve Day on March 22—an opportunity to put compassion into action as a church family.

  • Vision: Experience Community (Juan Palomino) E3
    Jan 18 2026

    Pastor Juan explores the vital difference between attending church and experiencing true Christian community. Drawing from Hebrews 10:23-25, he challenges the idea that consuming Christian content or showing up on Sundays is enough. Real community means being known—the good, bad, and ugly—and doing life together through the week. Juan shares how Life Groups provide shepherding, accountability, and encouragement that transforms faith from information to transformation. Through personal stories and practical examples, he explains why we need people who check our spiritual fruit, celebrate our victories, and speak truth in love. If you've ever felt alone despite being surrounded by people, this message offers a biblical roadmap to the authentic connection your soul craves.

  • Vision: Encounter God (Devan Bumstead) E2
    Jan 11 2026

    Do you ever feel like you have everything you could want, yet still long for something more? In this powerful message, we explore what it truly means to encounter God—not just knowing about Him, but experiencing His presence in a transformative way.

    Drawing from Augustine, A.W. Tozer, and key scriptures like John 17:3 and Ephesians 3:16-21, this sermon challenges us to move our faith from our heads to our hearts. We'll discover how the veil separating us from God has been removed through Christ, yet we often put up our own barriers through distraction, busyness, and attachment to possessions.

    Learn practical ways to cultivate hunger for God's presence through spiritual disciplines, the practice of "beholding" God, and letting go of what possesses us. This isn't about acquiring more—it's about experiencing the "immeasurably more" that comes from intimately knowing the God who created us for Himself.

    If you're tired of settling for correct theology without genuine encounter, this message will reignite your passion for the presence of God.
