Christian Education and the Sunday School programs of New Northside Missionary Baptist Church have launched this web site to facilitate online discussions and to promote in-depth studies of God’s word. Our blog discussions act as another resource to help us search the scriptures. After all God said, “Search the scripture; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. –John 5:39" By learning God’s word and placing it in our hearts, we begin to obey and focus on pleasing Him. Now let’s study and share! |
We have Jesus Christ who has secured a glorious future for us through His sacrifice on the Cross. He has promised to never leave or forsake us, now and forever. Click and read more on the NNMBC's Blog…

Make Your New Years Resolution to Go Deeper in God
by Rhonda Jones 
If you're like most people, you've probably made a few resolutions for the coming year. Perhaps, you'll lose weight, exercise more, watch less television, or spend more time with God. The problem with resolutions is that they're only skin deep. You make a proclamation and then you use your willpower to try to fulfill it. The Bible says that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Although our intentions are good, we lack the wherewithal or persistence to stick with our new year's resolutions for the long haul and within days, weeks, or even months we're right back where we started. Zechariah 4:6 declares "It's not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty." It is through God's Spirit that we are to accomplish our purposes and goals. In John 15:5 Jesus tells us, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

In our world today, so many things are happening around us that we don't understand and that we can do little about. The natural disasters we have recently seen in the way of the Gulf Oil Spill, massive earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the spreading unrest in Arab countries are unprecedented in terms of the frequency and magnitudes that they are happening.
But God can give us peace in the midst of these troubled times. One of the fascinating things about the Bible is how it gives us practical ways to deal with every aspect of our life. So allow me to present a passage that instructs us on how to experience a peace that only God can give us: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds." (Philippians 4:6-7, NIV). Now, let's look further into the three components of this guide to peace.
