    Generosity: Eternal Investment (Ken LaMont) E4

    In week four of our Generosity series, Pastor Ken explores Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount about making eternal investments. Drawing from Matthew 6:19-24, he challenges listeners to shift from an earthly to a kingdom perspective on finances. The message examines three key choices: two investments (earthly vs. heavenly treasures), two perspectives (temporal vs. eternal), and two masters (God vs. money). Through powerful illustrations—including the story of missionary Jim Elliot and businessman Stanley Tam—the sermon emphasizes that while we can't take our possessions to heaven, we can send them ahead through kingdom investments. The central question: Are you living for the dot (this life) or the line (eternity)? A compelling call to use God-given resources to "empty hell and fill heaven."

    Generosity: Ownership (Devan Bumstead) E3

    In this message on generosity, we explore the tension between the American Dream's emphasis on ownership and the Kingdom of God's call to stewardship. Through a journey from Genesis to the Gospels, we discover that God owns it all: our homes, jobs, resources, even our very breath. We're not owners but stewards—caretakers of what belongs to God. This shift in perspective isn't about restriction but freedom, as we learn to hold things loosely and find our security not in possessions but in belonging to the Father. The sermon culminates with the powerful story of the woman who broke her alabaster jar, pouring out her most valuable possession on Jesus—a beautiful picture of radical surrender and the proper response to the gospel.

    Generosity: Generous People (Ken LaMont) E2

    Pastor Ken explores why Jesus taught more about money than any other topic and challenges a fundamental question: Why does God bless us with wealth when He knows it's "hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of God"? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9 and the parable of the rich fool, this message confronts our scarcity mindset and reveals God's true purpose for blessing us financially. The answer isn't to increase our standard of living, but our standard of giving. Through the inspiring story of a housekeeper whose $300 gift launched a mission that reached 100 million people, listeners are challenged to become "funnels" rather than "buckets"—allowing God's generosity to flow through them to advance His kingdom.

    Generosity: God's Generosity (Ken LaMont) E1

    Pastor Ken explores what it means to move from merely giving to becoming truly generous people. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 and Jesus' teachings in Matthew, this message challenges the scarcity mindset that keeps us from generosity and invites us to see God as our scandalously generous provider. Learn how generosity isn't just about what we have, but about our hearts and perspective—and discover how trusting God's abundance can transform not just our finances, but our entire lives. The sermon includes practical steps for recognizing God's daily generosity and developing an abundance mindset that reflects the generous heart of our Creator.   For more information about our church, visit npfcc.org To help support the ongoing work of NPFCC and our mission partners around the globe, you can make a donation at npfcc.org/give

    In this message, Pastor Ken explores the third pillar of NPFCC's vision: Extend Compassion.

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

    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

    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.

    Vision: Mission (Ken LaMont) E1

    In this sermon, Pastor Ken emphasizes the importance of returning to the basics and staying focused on the mission. The sermon challenges listeners to reflect on their personal missions and align them with God's mission for the church: to seek and save the lost. Highlighting the Great Commission from Matthew 28, Ken urges the congregation to actively participate in making disciples, baptizing, and teaching others to follow Jesus. The message underscores the significance of living on mission with Christ, viewing people through a spiritual lens, and being ambassadors of reconciliation. Ken encourages believers to embrace their role in God's mission, helping others find and follow Jesus, and to pray for those who are lost.
