An intentional positioning of your heart for breakthrough and spiritual growth.
  • ​For the month of January, on Wednesdays we encourage you to fast with us from 7a-7p
Reflect on
  • Is the past holding you back? We can relinquish the despair of the past and cling to confident assurance that God is going to do a new thing in our lives
Isaiah 43:18-19

  • "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

]]><![CDATA[The REASON for the SEASON]]>Tue, 26 Nov 2019 04:27:20 GMThttps://www.nlccva.com/spiritual-life/the-reason-for-the-seasonThe lights, the food, the presents...this is what many people think of when they think about Christmas. It is easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of the holiday season, but we must remember:
  • JESUS was the one who came and restored the relationship between humanity and GOD that was damaged when Adam and Eve bit the apple in the Garden of Eden.
  • He shared our human nature to model a human being fully obeying GOD's will.
  • He wants us to love GOD and value heavenly things, not materialistic items.
  • The greatest gift is GOD's LOVE!
  • We are called to share his presence known through works of mercy, charity, and service.
