Napoleon Church Of The Nazarene

Pastor Ken Behrens teaches on the Angel's song found in Luke 2. "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Peace is more than the absence of conflict; it is being made whole.

Pastor Chip teaches on Zechariah's Song found in Luke 1. He teaches on how Christmas brings an unrestrained joy in our hearts!

Pastor Chip continues on in our series, "A Thrill of Hope"; taking a look at a very popular portion of scripture found in Luke 1 of the Christmas story, Mary's Song. Mary declares what the Lord has done for her and sings about the kingdom to come. Jesus came to turn the world right side up and is coming again to restore His kingdom.

Could you imagine the Christmas season without listening to your favorite Christmas classic tune? "A Thrill of Hope" Christmas series will walk us through three specific songs found in the story of Jesus' birth. Teaching through Psalm 89, Pastor Chip highlights how music draws out our hopes and declares what we believe!

Pastor Chip teaches on how guilt. He shows us how our human nature wants to deal with guilt but then sheds light on what Jesus does with our guilt to set us free!

As we wrap up our series on Ephesians 6, we conclude with the secret weapon...the thing that holds everything in together: prayer. We are reminded that pray is the greater work in all things.

When we equip ourselves with the Sword of the Spirit (Word of God), we empower ourselves to move from a place of reacting impulsively to a place of responding intentionally. Don't just simply react in life...respond, drawing strength from the Sword of the Spirit.

Put on the Helmet of Salvation to guard yourself against the enemy. Pastor Chip explains how our thoughts have far more influence on us than our circumstances and relationships do. Listen and hear how can we conquer and take thoughts captive in this crazy world.

Pastor Chip continues in our Suit Up Series in Ephesians 6 and teaches on the Shield of Faith.

As we look at the Gospel of Peace, Paul calls us to stand firm. Pastor Chip reminds us what happens when we experience peace with God: we are confidence to stand and fight...positioned well in the battle.

In our second week of "Suit Up" Pastor Ken takes us through the Breastplate of Righteousness and how, once equipped with the Belt of Truth, we guard our heart against the lies of the enemy. Satan's desire is to be like God, but we have been equipped to win.

We start off our new series, "Suit Up", teaching on the most vital part of a warriors armor; the belt. The belt held everything together, from keeping up the breastplate, to holding the sword. Without it, everything would come sliding down and you wouldn't be able to fight off the enemy affectively. That is why we so strongly need the belt of truth (knowing who God is) in our spiritual armor to fight off the lies of the enemy. Knowing who God is, is what will hold all the other pieces of our spiritual armor up!

Welcome to our new sermon series, "Suit Up". We will be going though the book of Ephesians and teaching on what it means to put on the full armor of God. The enemy is REAL and we need to be living in the realization that we fight not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces in the heavenly realms.

We finish up our Building Blocks series with our last point in discovering our DNA of who we are; "Make a Difference". Pastor Chip points us to Ephesians, Galatians, 1 Peter, and 1 Corinthians to show us in God's Word that as believers we are to be set apart, a city on a hill spreading light, a holy nation. Together we can make a difference, using our gifts to edify one another and sharing the gospel to the world around us!

We welcome Justin Braun to teach us in this week's message of our Building Blocks series, " discovering our purpose". Our purpose and identity are not wrapped in being a mom, dad, spouse, or in our jobs. Our identity is found in being redeemed by Jesus Christ and discovering that our purpose is to follow Him and be transformed by His redeeming love for us.

We continue our series with the topic, "Find Freedom". Pastor Chip digs into the Word to pull out truths on how to break free from slavery in your life. What do you need to break free of?

Welcome to our new sermon series, "Building Blocks: the DNA of who we are". This week, Pastor Chip teaches on what it means to know God and be born again through the power of the Holy Spirit. This Christian life is about more than just being religious. It's about being radically changed by the Holy Spirit; your mind, your soul, and your heart. It's about having a new birth in Christ with new eyes to see and ears that hear. Are you open to the Holy Spirit doing a new thing in your life?

We end our "Book of James" series teaching from the end of chapter 5. Pastor Chip gives an encouraging message on confessing our to sins to one another, being healed, and the power of prayer. Be accountable to one another, pray for each other, and watch the Holy Spirit change lives!! We hope you've enjoyed the series with us in the Book of James. Join us for our next series!

Pastor Ken Behrens continues on in James chapter 5 teaching on some heavy topics. Listen in next week as we finish up our series in the Book of James.

Pastor Ken Behrens teaches on the last portion of James chapter 4 in our sermon series, "The Book of James." He gives us a few points to live by to continue living our daily lives for the Lord in full surrender to Him!
