Key scripture passage: John 14:9 “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father”
In this message, Michael Wadlow speaks on how to empower yourself to know and the experience the Father and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Pastor Gaylord Enns
In this message Pastor Gaylord talks about God’s Perfect Love and our journey of increasing love for one another. In 1 Thessalonians 3:12-23, we see that as we “increase and abound” in love for one another, we also are on the path to holiness. We see that God is at work in us to make this a reality in each of our lives.

Pastor Chris Balint
Are you becoming more cherished by God? Do you hear the Holy Spirit in your daily life? That’s what Jesus, our God and Savior, prayed for. This is what He meant when he prayed for us to be sanctified.

Pastor Chris Balint
Good is something we all want to experience and can often be illusive. God’s presence carries good with Him into our lives. The question is are we busy trying to produce good for ourselves or do we humble ourselves and allow goodness from a good God to flow through our lives.

Genesis 16 tells us the story of an Egyptian slave who gives God a name, Jehovah El Roi. She has an encounter with the living God in the form of the Angel of the Lord and it gives her the strength and resolve to face the difficult relationships in her life. If you feel unseen, unloved and forgotten - you need to experience this aspect of God's character.

This is a recap message of our entire series in the first 4 months of 2022.
In this teaching we look at Jesus' rhythm of simplicity. Outward simplicity is the fruit of a trusting heart that relies on God to provide so that we can live in freedom and without anxiety. This message includes practical ideas from Amy Wadlow and Linda Burchett on how we can outwardly simplify our lives as a way of helping our hearts learn to trust God more and for us to love money and possessions less.
In this message Pastor Andrew takes us through the most powerful miracle that Jesus performed before he rose himself. We will consider Jesus’ unexpected actions and see that His love compelled him to be “late” in order to reveal His true nature. There is a challenge in this story for us to allow Jesus into the tomb of our heart to resurrect that which is hidden, dead and disbelieving.
In this teaching we look at Jesus' rhythm of observing the festivals and feasts set up by God in the Old Testament. If we want to invite more of God's peace that destroys the chaos of this life - doing our part in living healthy rhythms sends the "invite" to Him. This teaching summarizes the Jewish feasts and their fulfillment in Jesus while challenging us to examine our own "holiday" rituals and their meaning.
In this teaching we look at Jesus' rhythm of eating with others and the gravity of the common table in our homes. We believe that we gain a sense of belonging, community and identity by spending time eating meals with others. Pastor Andrew challenges us to try to eat one meal a day with others in this "extroverted rhythm."
Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 5:13-14; 1 Cor. 6:19-20
Pastor Andrew challenges us to examine our view of freedom in light of boundaries and limits. It seems that resisting limits have puts us in a place where we are acting like we have God's powers, instead of living this human life wisely. The concept of a "rule of life" is introduced to us as a set of habits that we decide to follow to help us love others well. The one application today is considering rhythms around our sleep and honoring our bodies' needs and understanding the tie in to spiritual benefit with physical boundaries.
Mar. 6, 2022 Neighborhood Church Chico Sunday Service Series:Unforced Rhythms of Grace Message #11"The Posture of Fasting”
Pastor Andrew Burchett
Matthew 6 Fasting has been a spiritual discipline practiced by God’s leaders and people for centuries. The primary purpose of fasting is to humble ourselves before Him, but it also greatly enhances our spiritual hunger and sensitivity. In this message we look at the reasons we fast as Christians. It also is an encouragement to us as we are celebrating the Lenten season.

Ephesians 2:6
Website: https://www.ncchico.org YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/ncchico Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialncchico/?hl=en
Obscurity is the place where our true identity as the "beloved of God" is seared deep into our soul. We live in a celebrity culture, and obscurity is not valued. Jesus values and models obscurity for us in slowing, silence, solitude and sabbath. This teaching will challenge you to process pain with Jesus and a few supportive friends first, instead of seeking the world's comfort from your Facebook friends.
1 Samuel 3
In this message Pastor Andrew talks about discerning the still small voice of God, and adopting the posture of listening with your heart. This is the continuation of the message from the previous week.
