NCF Sunday Talks

Make time each day to read and consider the Bible, asking God to be your Guide. We don't deserve to have a relationship with God, but in His mercy we have. Reading and studying the Bible encourages us and directs us as we walk along with God. We need to take appropriate action as we are prone to not always go the way that God intends for us. It is healthy to measure yourself against what Jesus said and did in the Bible.

The Bible was inspired by God. We need to put effort and time in to let it change us. It's not just a book to read, but one that can transform and change our lives as we meditate on it and keenly observe what it says. As we read the Bible we become aware of our own smallness, but are strengthened by knowing that God puts His power and strength within us so that we can live abandoned to Him.

Headlights are in-built to our cars. It would be very strange to have to install them ourselves if we were going on a journey that involved darkness. In the same way, the Bible is like headlights to help us not fall in ditches in our lives. It is a very practical Book, but we need to read and study it regularly in order to get the most out of it.

Jesus takes away the chains that have been placed on us. He sets us free to live for Hi...

The psalmist stated to God in verse 94,, "I am Yours." At different stages of my life I've been my parents', my own and my wife's. God has the greatest authority and influence in my life, so overarching all parts of my life since 1983 (when I was first gave my life to God) I also declare that, "I am Yours, God!" 

I do this by wanting to spend time with God, by wanting to base my life on His command...

A lot of people in our community work really hard for things that don't positively impact their eternal destiny. God + nothing else and nobody else = total abundance in life today and for all of eternity. 

In this Talk we are reminded that God is our sufficiency, our reward, our portion and our inheritance. Just as God was the sufficiency of all the normal people who lived in Bible times, so He can be the full sufficiency of al...

As we begin a Series of Talks dedicated to the longest Chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, we remind ourselves of the power and life that the Bible has. God uses the Bible to convict, encourage and liberate us. He has actually breathed into and inspired all of it! The whole Psalm is read by a group of five people from 04:29 to 20:37 and then we discover a little about the form and construction of this particular Psalm before we dwell ...

In this Talk, we are reminded how indispensable the Bible is in our lives today. People like John Wycliffe and William Tyndale gave their lives to make it easily accessible and understandable for us in the 21st century. However, there are still large numbers of people around the world who do not have a Bible in a language that they understand. The immense work to make this treasure available to everyone in an understandable way con...

God is taking action around the world in 2025. His Kingdom of Light is extending and disturbing the status quo. As God raises His banner in Nuneaton and in your life, will you join in the mission that He is leading? Watch what God is doing. Perceive how He is doing something new in the lives of those around you. There are many opportunities to get involved. Let God turn your life upside down and then pray and dream for greater thin...

We all have relationships with people because everyone interacts with others. Some relationships may be more formal like grandma and grandson etc. We didn't choose our family relationships. However, the Bible states in many places that God has chosen you as His son or daughter. Have you actually chosen Him as your Father or do you mess around with your relationship with God?

God encourages us to be 'father-like' to ev...

Just as our King has a personal birthday and an official one, so do we as followers of Jesus. Pentecost is the official birthday of the Church. In this Talk we briefly think about the significance of Pentecost and how remembering and celebrating what happened at that first Pentecost in about 33AD are important, but we also need to expect and receive what God is doing now. More is coming from God to His Church. Let's look aroun...

As we have dialogues with our friends, so let us be expectant that when we spend time sitting with God, that He will speak back to us in creative ways. 

In this Talk we consider the ways that Hannah, Elijah and Jairus prayed to God. Let's pour out our hearts to God as they did. Let us also rebuild the altars, doing the things that we can do and letting God do what we might consider impossible.

In this last Talk of this Series we consider what for many of us is an unknown man in 2025. Tychicus was a great friend and supporter of Paul both on his journeys around parts of Europe and whilst he was in prison. Being a servant isn't attractive to many, but it is beautiful to God. Jesus is the greatest servant of all. 

Let's intentionally serve others at home, at work, at church and wherever we find ourselves. Let'...

Aaron, the older brother of Moses, was generally a good man who wanted to follow God, as well as supporting others in their walk with God. In Exodus 32 we read of a bad incident that involved an idol of a calf. Aaron and the Israelites believed a lie instead of submitting to and following God. 

In this Talk we consider four lies that might make us less productive in our walk with God. Everyone in the world worships and serves someon...

We listen to three stories involving two main people (Paul and Ruth). They were both trapped by circumstances. God sorted out their difficulties and changed their lives. These weren't easy times for the people concerned and for those that loved them. However, God had a plan for them and they were able to look to Him for help and tenacity. We can do the same too with God's help, as we intentionally choose to follow Him.

The Bible tells us that David was a man after God's own heart. He made some big mistakes, as well as doing good things. He knew that he was known and loved by God though. This overshadowing and protection meant a great deal to David. He certainly had to make amends and ask for forgiveness when he sinned, but these serious incidents didn't need to hold him back from working with and for God. It is exactly the same in our l...

Abraham (Abram) had to make many choices as to whether to follow God or just have idols in his life. Being obedient to God wasn't always easy, but Abraham tried to be faithful and obedient to what God was telling him to do. 

God is calling us to trust Him too. We need to let go of things like pride, disobedience, disbelief and sin. What is the condition of your heart? What is your response when God has spoken to you?

God is at work. He was at work with Nicodemus, a pharisee, when He went to speak privately to Jesus. Less than three years later Nicodemus would provide the equivalent in weight of spices of over thirty bags of sugar, as he and Joseph of Arimathea annointed Jesus' dead body before putting it in the tomb. 

God is also at work in you and those around you. No barrier is too big or solid to stop God's work. Will you join in wi...
