National Community Church Audio Podcast

Bit players- people who played an unsung part in God's redemption story. It only takes one small act to move the Gospel ball down the field. The unsung are often unnamed that play a pivotal role that drastically changes an outcome. This week, we talk about those unsung and unnamed heroes within Scripture through the life of a little boy (John 6:1-15) and a widowed woman (Mark 12:41-44). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jesus added value to those who were described as having no value in society (Luke 5:12-14). And he made a practice of seeing the unseen. One of the synonyms for "unsung" is unseen. The encouragement is for those of us who are Jesus followers to intentionally see and touch the unseen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leaders aren’t intimidated by other people’s gifts and abilities; they build a platform for them. Barnabas was a minor character in the book of Acts, but his influence extends to us today. He invested in a story larger than his own, gave Paul a place to belong and a place to matter, and gave John Mark a second chance. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There is a long line of women in Scripture who overcome the odds, put prejudice in its place, defy cultural conventions, and break through the glass ceiling. In the grand scheme of history, women are the unsung heroes. It’s the risks they take, the sacrifices they, and sometimes, the rules they break that change the trajectory of history.

What miracle is on the other side of your bold action? What story is God waiting to write beyond your act of obedience? What revelation is ready in anticipation of your word of testimony? Our story today will challenge you in your faith and the way you walk it out. What does radical obedience look like for you? It’s one thing to live your life dutifully. But what if it cost you something? Real giving, real sacrifice, real obedience should hurt! Leonard Ravenhill said, "The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity." Faith will cost you something, but it will gain you everything. Walk with us through Acts 9 and the story of a little known man named Ananias and the lengths he is willing to go to live out obedience and the subsequent miracle that follows. We pray your soul is encouraged and your faith is challenged. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Living UNSUNG is doing what we do for an audience of one. It’s living for the applause of nail-scarred hands. It’s making the most of our time, talent, and treasure. It’s recognizing that potential is God’s gift to us, what we do with it is our gift back to God. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Walking in the fear of the Lord means reverencing him and referencing him in all we do. Reverencing him means we recognize, acknowledge, and honor who he is because he is king. Referencing him means we seek him, trust him, and obey him because he is our compass. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In a world that is obsessed with looking good, we often put so much effort in trying to stand out. But the Proverbs offer us wisdom on what it means to really have a “good look” life, beyond shallow facades. The pursuit of wisdom will help both our outward expressions and inward governance align, which will allow us to live good and ultimately look good. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We continue our series in Proverbs, a book of poems and wisdom statements. But one thing we find in the book is that wisdom is more than just a collections of wise sayings, but it acts as a divine being that the scripture calls Lady wisdom. Wisdom is not found in a statement, but in a relationship with a person. We invite you to join us as we introduce you to a wonderful literary character. And also as we turn this series upside down to talk about the importance of getting & giving and how wisdom actually turns our focus outwards and how we might live out the application.
