This week’s sermon:
“Faith For the Future: Believing Beyond the Grave”
“I am a foreigner and a stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead.”
Genesis 23:4 (NIV)
Even in loss, we act in faith, trusting God’s promises beyond what we can see. In Genesis 23, Abraham mourns the death of Sarah yet chooses to believe in God’s promise by purchasing a burial site in the land God promised. This quiet chapter reminds us that faith doesn’t exempt us from grief, but it shapes how we face it – with hope in God’s eternal plan. Like Abraham, we are foreigners in this world, called to live differently and invest in a future God is still unfolding.

Our vision at NLCC is to provide encouragement, connection, and discipleship within Christ’s church as we reach out in love to witness to the world around us.
Our core beliefs at NLCC are:
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
One God
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, both fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as the sacrificial substitute to pay for the penalty of sin, physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and He will one day physically return.
Humanity
God created man for a separate and distinctive role in his creation. Into man God breathed His Spirit and from that moment all of mankind would be both physical and spiritual-eternal beings.
Sin
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
All of mankind, with the exception of Jesus Christ, are guilty of rebellion against God, which we recognize as “sin”. The result of this sin can be eternal death.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
Yes, we are all guilty of sin, which brings death, but we know that Jesus Christ has paid the price to redeem us, freeing us of the eternal consequence as well as the present burden of guilt from sin.
Salvation
We believe that our salvation comes through God’s free gift of grace through Christ’s death on the cross. As recipients of the grace, our desire is to carry out the principles and patterns modeled to us in scripture including belief, repentance, confession, Biblical baptism and in every way, attempting to produce fruit representing transformed lives.
Biblical Baptism We recognize that God’s command is that we join Christ in the likeness of his death, burial and resurrection through the waters of baptism. Baptism is a personal choice of commitment by a penitent believer, therefore we celebrate baptism by immersion.
Resurrection
Because all of mankind are spiritual-eternal beings, all will be raised when Christ returns. Those who have made a life commitment of love with Christ Jesus will be raised to eternal glory, those who refuse God’s grace will face eternal punishment/death.
