NHPBC Sermons2025 NHPBC Women's Conference - Session 3What if the truest form of hospitality began long before a guest crossed your threshold? We start with Ephesians 2 and remember how God welcomed us from far off into his household—then let that grace reshape the way we open our doors, plan our meals, and respond when plans fall apart. This conversation blends Scripture, honest stories, and practical ideas to move hospitality from performance to worship.We walk through vivid biblical portraits—the Shunammite woman building a room for Elisha, Lydia’s newly opened heart leading to an open home, and the Philippian jailer washing wounds and se...

We explore how everyday speech—complaints about delays, subtle self-praise, private whispers, and sharp replies—maps directly to what we truly believe about God’s character and our place in his story. Rather than offering tips to “talk nicer,” we trace speech back to its root and make a case for deep change: a new heart that reshapes what spills from the mouth.We unpack why grumbling is more than venting; it’s unbelief with a microphone. Using the “Romans 8:28 helicopter,” we learn to rise above our immediate fr...
2025-11-1535 minNHPBC Sermons2025 NHPBC Women's Conference - Session 1A plate of tiny desserts and a room full of friends set a warm tone, but our aim zeroes in on the deepest renovation of all: the heart. Not the muscle on a scan, but the biblical heart—the center of thought, desire, and will—where real life-change begins. We trace the journey from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh, asking hard questions, opening Scripture, and naming the difference between emotional moments and a life that actually obeys.We start with clarity: total depravity doesn’t mean you’re as bad as possible; it means ev...

We trace a clear line from the creation mandate—being made to image God—to the everyday moments where our desires try to take over. When good things like order, affirmation, or security become ruling things, joy disappears and frustration surges. We name that shift for what it is: idolatry, a reversal of our design that makes life feel heavy even when we “do the right thing.”Together we unpack how Scripture locates change in the hea...

We explore how the creation mandate to be fruitful and take dominion is reinstated by Jesus as the Great Commission, and why that changes the purpose of your home, your job, and your daily walk through the neighborhood. With Scripture as our guide, we connect Genesis 1:28 to Matthew 28:18–20 and trace the arc from Adam’s failure to Christ’s victory, showing how multiplication now includes new birth by the Spirit and how subduing the earth looks like teaching people to obey everything Jesus commanded...

We explore the creation mandate—be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and take dominion—and why its power lies in the why: we’re made in the image and likeness of God. From Eden’s garden to city streets, that identity reframes work, family, and culture as holy ground where order, justice, and beauty can flourish.We follow the Bible’s storyline to trace both our calling and our struggle. Creation gives us God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule; the fall twists labor wi...
