    How to BE the Church - Part 38: "Without Hinderance"
    Aug 17 2025
    In Acts 28:23-31, Paul had a second meeting with the Jews in Rome. He spent all day expounding and testifying to them about the Kingdom of God and Jesus from the Law and Prophets. There was a mixed response to Paul’s teaching from the audience. Paul then quoted Isaiah 6:9-10 to highlight that salvation had been sent to the Gentiles because they listen. At the end of Acts, Luke tells us that Paul shared the gospel with boldness and without hindrance. What does this have to do with us today? How does it tie to our vision to “Be the Church”?

    This week's sermon is by Irene Wong. Irene has extensive experience studying the Bible and leading small groups. She is married to Anlian, one of our Elders. Irene was born in a secular family. From a young age, God has sent many people into her life to offer guidance, support and encouragement during challenging times. Her spiritual journey isn’t just a story, but a testament to the power of God. Irene believes that a personal connection with Jesus was the key for her while going through grief and transitions in her past. She experienced God’s love and grace and began to see and trust that God always works all things for good.

    How to BE the Church - Part 36: "Another Facet of 'Being the Church'"
    Jul 27 2025
    As Bible-believing Christians, many of us claim to believe in divine healing, but do we really? We pray for healing all the time, and are frequently disappointed. Has God let us down? Maybe we’re too sinful to deserve to be healed. Or maybe we’re simply lacking in faith. Join us on Sunday, July 27, to explore this topic further.

    This week's sermon is by Steve Briggs. Steve has served numerous terms on our Elders Board, and has frequently preached at NAC, including sharing his own testimony of God's faithfulness through the years. His wife Dawn leads a Grief Share support group. Steve and Dawn love traveling to Florida. They have two adult sons, Hunter and Quentin, and Hunter is the Deacon of Finance here at NAC.

When all seems lost, His purpose still prevails.

Will he ever get to Rome? Will Paul even survive this ordeal? Come out Sunday and hear the rest of the story. Remember to "pray about it" and "no problem" because "God is always in control".

    What is it about Paul? Disruption seems to follow him wherever he goes!
    Why is that?

    In Acts 25 and 26 Paul is in yet another trial where he has to make his case again. He stands before a Roman Governor, a Jewish King, high-ranking Military officers and leading officials of the city. What will he say and what will he do? What can we learn from him?

  • How to BE the Church - Part 31: "Have Courage in the Chaos"

    How to BE the Church - Part 31: "Have Courage in the Chaos"
    Jun 22 2025
    In the whirlwind of accusations, riots, and threats, Paul stands firm—not because the path is easy, but because God is present. Acts 23 reveals a powerful truth: even when opposition surrounds us and justice feels far off, God is still writing the story. In a dark prison cell, the risen Jesus appears and whispers what every weary soul needs: “Take courage.”

    Join us as we explore how God’s sovereignty, power, and protection are at work even in our most chaotic moments—and how His presence gives us boldness to stay faithful when everything around us says “give up.”
