Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - John 10:14The word 'sheep' makes us sheepish when it comes to today's society? So what does it mean that Jesus calls us the sheep of his pasture and calls Himself the "Good Shepherd?"

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - John 1:12Sometimes we miss what the Bible teaches because we get caught into cliché statements that tend to offer "good vibes" but not much theological basis. The Bible teaches us that we are only children of God when we believe in Christ and follow Him...so, we may not be as the old statement says, "all God's children." That is a title that is reserved for those who believe on Christ!

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - James 1:22-24"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." - James 1:22-24Our greatest need is to remember who we are.

Neither perspective is correct, and that's a difficult place to find ourselves. Today, rely on God's salvation as you work a...2021-11-1203 min

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - 2 Corinthians 5:7Loved by God, Forgiven, Adopted, A citizen of Heaven, God's Workmanship, A friend of Jesus...What do you think when you hear these descriptions in Scripture?

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - Epheisians 5:8"For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light." - Ephesians 5:8It is always intriguing how a follower of Christ seems to have a glow about them, but it happened in the Bible also. We can glow in Christ and others will see and know that we have been with the Lord. Is there anything that is dimming the light you shine? What can you do to shine brighter today?GO DEEPER: 1 John 1:5-10 - Walk in the Light of Christ 2021-10-1103 min

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - Romans 10:9"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9Saved, in the Bible, means we have been rescued or delivered.

And, in turn, come to know yourself?GO DEEPER: Ephesians 1:15-23 2021-08-2103 min

Newland Christian ChurchNCC Daily Devotional - John 5:6The most intriguing question asked in the Bible might be the one Jesus asks in John 5:6 ..."When Jesus saw [the lame man] lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, He asked him, 'Do you want to get well?'"He may be asking you the same question today.

It isn't out of God's cruelty we must wait, but out of the abundance of love and the Glory of God!"The sisters sent word to Jesus, 'Lord, the one you love is sick.'" - John 11:3 2021-07-2003 min
