What’s Love Got To Do
With It?
By Pastor Angela
|
What’s love got to do with it? Tina Turner
asked the question, but God has the answer. Throughout the Bible
love is mentioned over and over again. The key point about love
is, “if you have none, than what you do is for naught.” You can
build bridges, you can build houses, you can rebuild lives, but
if you do it with love in your heart, what are you doing it for?
Putting God first in everything you do, put love first. Love
makes you forget about how you feel and remember how to be like
Jesus. Don’t let your emotions block you from being a blessing
today, “Put a little (lot) of love in your heart and the world
will be a better place.”
“Though I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become
sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift
of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but
have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have
not love, it profits me nothing.” 1 Cor
13:1-3 |

Will you take the
challenge? We want to issue a challenge to everyone at NCCA and
abroad. Let's read through the New Testament together in 2010.
The Daily Devotionals have a New
Testament, Old Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs reading on each
day; I would like us to study the New Testament this year to
really FOCUS on New Covenant themes, on SEEING Jesus as He really
is, and by "seeing" Him through the readings, be transformed from
Glory to Glory (Col. 1:15, 2 Cor. 3:18, 2 Tim 3:16).
If you have extra time, and want
to commit to the entire readings of OT, NT, Psalms and Proverbs,
we encourage you to do so; however, let's take the challenge and
focus on studying the New Covenant (Testament).
If you'd like to get a print out,
bookmark reading schedule, please contact Pastor Randy; otherwise,
I encourage you to utilize the daily devotional and simply read
the New Testament schedule.
On-line discussion forum for
study, coming soon... |

2010 has been declared as the
“Moving Forward” Year. Several passages of Scripture come to
mind almost immediately as we reflect on the prophetic
implications of “Moving Forward.”
We see Lot’s
Wife, who was called to move forward, and when she didn’t she
forever froze in one spot.
We see the Children of Israel,
when they were called out of Egypt, they were called to move
forward with a pillar of fire by day and cloud by night leading
them through to a new and better home free from slavery and the
tyranny of the enemy.
We see the church moving forward
throughout the entire book of Acts – ever gaining ground,
overcoming obstacles, defeating the enemy, declaring the authority
of the Kingdom of God and the power of the Name of Jesus – not
going backward but ever moving forward.
In 2010, as we
rapidly approach the new year, we will discover that now is the
time for us to take hold of the promises of God.
·
If you have sin in your life, repent, and MOVE FORWARD
·
If you have broken relationships, do what you can to bring
restoration, and MOVE
FORWARD
· If
you desire to move into the calling of God on your life, get in
church and MOVE
FORWARD
· If
you want to see God use you more and more, MOVE
FORWARD
This is the year of moving forward,
now is the time.
In Love and
Service,
Pastor Randy Morgan

The Blind
Man
by Pastor Paul Walker
I was walking down Pike Street in
Seattle when I came across a construction site for a new building.
The broad concrete sidewalk had been torn up and a new, narrow,
temporary sidewalk had been constructed under the scaffolding for
pedestrians. As I came out the other side of the construction I
saw a blind man approaching with his walking cane, searching the
way in front of him. He was headed straight for the barricade at
the section of missing sidewalk, not knowing that he was in a
construction zone. For a moment I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t
want to insult his sense of independence but felt that he may need
just a little help navigating his way through. Just as I turned to
go back and help, a good Samaritan discreetly approached him and
quietly said, “Hey buddy, there’s a construction site here. The
temporary sidewalk is this way,” and guided him by the arm to the
narrow passage. The blind man thanked him and went on. In a
moment, the good Samaritan was gone as well. Then the Holy Spirit
said to me, “See Paul, this is how it’s done; discreetly and
gently so as not to create a scene or make the person feel
uncomfortable. Be gentle and kind like Jesus.” I walked away
reminded of an important truth; everyone needs help at some
point. How well it is received depends upon how I offer it;
with an attitude of superiority or humbly. If I offer it gently
and humbly I do well and bring glory to God.
