Northeast Houston Baptist Church: Recent Episodes
Pastor Nathan Lino
Hear verse by verse biblical teaching through books of the Bible by Nathan Lino, Senior Pastor of Northeast Houston Baptist Church in Humble, TX.
Jesus came on a rescue mission: to take away our sin and destroy the works of the devil. Through his death and resurrection, we have both forgiveness and freedom. As children of God, we don’t make peace with what Christ came to destroy. Instead, we continue fighting sin and pursuing holiness as we live in light of all Jesus has done.
Every temptation begins with believing something other than what God has said. Genesis 3 exposes the deception, shame, and consequences of sin while reminding us that God meets sinners with grace. Through Jesus, we are invited to stop hiding, confess our sin, and receive the mercy only he can give.
The Father's love gives us a new identity, secures our eternal future, and transforms how we live right now. Through faith in Jesus, we are not merely forgiven but welcomed into God's own family as his children. That identity is not defined by our failures, our past, or what others think of us. One day we will see Jesus face to face and be fully conformed to his likeness. That hope is not just a comfort for eternity; it's a call to pursue holiness today.
How do you remain faithful to Jesus in a world filled with deception, distraction, and doubt? In 1 John 2:26–29, we discover that God has not left us to navigate the Christian life on our own. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, every believer is able to remain in Christ with confidence. As we explore four truths about the Spirit, we'll see that our security rests not in our own strength, but in God's faithful work within us.
We are living in the last hour, a time marked by spiritual deception and false teaching. In this passage from 1 John 2:18–25, we are reminded of the presence of antichrists, commanded to remain in the true Christ, and encouraged with the promise of eternal life.
God often speaks in the middle of ordinary moments. In Exodus 3, God called Moses from an ordinary day into an extraordinary calling. Through Moses' encounter with the burning bush, we're reminded that God has a purpose for every believer. He meets us where we are, reveals himself, and equips us to walk in the calling he has prepared for us.
What has your heart? Through 1 John 2:15–17, we're reminded that what captures our hearts ultimately shapes our lives. Instead of chasing the temporary promises of this world, God calls us to love the Father and live for what is eternal. When our hearts belong to him, we discover the lasting joy and purpose only he can give.
In 1 John 2:12–14, John pauses from a series of commands to remind every believer of three foundational truths about their identity in Jesus. These three truths speak to every season of the Christian life—whether you're new to faith and wrestling with guilt, in a mature season where spiritual routines have replaced genuine closeness with God, or in the middle of an intense battle with temptation and sin, John has something important to say to you. Identity always comes before activity, and when you know who you are in Christ, you can move forward with clarity and purpose.
We live in a world that uses the word love for everything from wedding vows to queso. But the love John writes about in 1 John 2:7–11 is something different entirely. It's unconditional. It's self-sacrificing. And it's one of the clearest signs that the light of Christ is actually real in your life. When the light of Christ is real in you, the love of Christ becomes visible through you. So here's the question Pastor Coleman leaves us with: Is it visible through you?
As a believer, you have been given a gift so extravagant that its value is beyond anything you could imagine. God's grace provides everything you need to follow him, sustains you through every season of life, and assures you that you are his. It is a gift you could never earn and never deserve, yet it fills your heart with thankfulness. Because God is faithful, you can trust his promises and wait with hope-filled expectation for Christ’s return.
God is a speaking God who created everything through his voice, bringing order from chaos and purpose from emptiness. Being made in his image, you are invited to participate in this divine act of speaking life into existence. Finding your voice begins with coming to Jesus for heart transformation, allowing him to shape your unique voice through life's circumstances, and then faithfully using your voice for his glory.
What do you do when guilt weighs heavy on your heart after sinning? Do you readily confess to God through Christ, or do you try to manage and hide your sin while spiraling deeper into poor decisions? First John 2:1-6 reveals that believers don't have to linger in guilt or try to manage their sin alone. You have a righteous advocate who stands with you and an atoning sacrifice whose blood covers every sin. Stop lingering in guilt and start living in grace. What sin are you trying to manage instead of confessing?
Romans 12 reminds us that we are not simply attendees, but members of one body, gifted by God to step in humbly and serve faithfully. Every role matters, every gift has purpose, and God uses our obedience to help people take steps toward Jesus. Whether welcoming guests, walking alongside others, or serving behind the scenes, every believer has a place in the body of Christ. As we faithfully use our gifts to welcome and walk alongside others with the love of Christ, the church is strengthened, people are cared for, and the gospel is put on display.
In a world that constantly tries to reshape God into someone more comfortable and manageable, John reminds us that we cannot separate God’s mercy from his holiness or forgiveness from repentance. The God who is light invites us into honest fellowship with him, but you can't have that genuine fellowship while intentionally walking in darkness. Are you managing darkness privately or walking honestly in God's light?
In a world of deepfakes and digital deception, how can we know what's spiritually authentic? John faced the same challenge with false teachers in the early church. His solution? Stay rooted in the historical reality of Jesus Christ—the Word of life that was heard, seen, and touched by eyewitnesses. An authentic relationship with Jesus leads to genuine fellowship with God’s people, where joy is found together. The question we’re left with is simple: are we settling for substitutes, or are we experiencing the real thing?
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to focus on the storm. Looking at when Jesus calmed the sea, this message reminds us how to trust God in the middle of fear, uncertainty, and real-life challenges. The disciples made four critical mistakes we often repeat, allowing their circumstances to overshadow God’s faithfulness. Discover how to refocus on his presence, remember his promises, and find peace by trusting him.
As a church, we are called to extend biblical hospitality that goes beyond warm greetings to intentional love for both believers and strangers. Rooted in Hebrews 13:1–2, this means aligning our people, ministries, and facilities to better welcome and walk alongside others with the love of Christ. When everything works together, we more faithfully live out our mission of making disciples.
Every church exists to glorify God and make disciples. Our vision—compelled by Christ to love Northeast Houston and the nations—is how Houston Northeast lives that out right here where God has placed us. In this message, Pastor Coleman walks through Romans 12:9–13 as a roadmap for how we welcome others and walk alongside one another with the love of Christ. We’re reminded that the kind of authentic community we were made for doesn’t happen by accident—it’s formed as we love genuinely, honor one another like family, and meet real needs with real care.
What do you do when God could have prevented your pain but didn't? The story of Lazarus reveals Jesus as the resurrection and the life. Even when situations seem too dead to resurrect, Jesus has power over every grave. What grave in your life feels too dead for God to resurrect?
In a world where everyone has their truth, Jesus boldly claims to be The Truth. What makes his claim different from every other religion? The answer might surprise you and could change everything you think about faith, anxiety, and finding your way in life. What if the path you're looking for isn't a set of directions but a person?
In John 15, Jesus makes a profound declaration by calling himself the true vine. This passage teaches the challenging truth that we cannot produce spiritual fruit on our own and reveals the secret to spiritual flourishing. Are you connected to the true vine or just going through the motions?
When Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd in John 10, he is pointing back to the promises God made throughout the Old Testament. Sheep naturally follow a voice, and in the same way, people are always being led by something that promises purpose, security, or a better life. What we truly need is to follow the right voice with real authority. Jesus shows that authority through relationship, not force, saying he knows his sheep and his sheep recognize his voice. And unlike a hired hand who runs in the face of danger, the Good Shepherd willingly lays down his life for his sheep. When we stop trying to direct our own lives and trust Jesus to lead us, we begin to experience the rest and peace that come from living under the faithful care of the Good Shepherd.
Ever feel lost trying to find the right entrance in a crowded place? Jesus declares himself as the only door to life with God. While many competing entrances promise fulfillment through morality, success, sincerity, or self-discovery, these ultimately lead to dead ends. Jesus offers exclusive access to abundant life, which means reconciliation with God and living under his loving authority. The invitation is open to anyone who enters the door through faith in Christ alone.
Jesus declared himself the Light of the World—claiming to be the very presence of God who led Israel in the wilderness. In John 9, he proved it by giving sight to a man born blind. This miracle exposed hearts: the blind man grew in faith and worship, while the religious leaders hardened in pride. Our response to Jesus as the Light of the World determines whether we experience transformation or remain in darkness.
Are you constantly seeking satisfaction but never finding it? This powerful message explores why we feel empty even after achieving our goals and how Jesus offers the only true fulfillment. From John 6:25–35, see what Jesus meant when he said, “I am the Bread of Life,” and consider what that claim means for your restless pursuit of more and for finding lasting satisfaction.
Two simple words shape so much of our lives: “I am.”
“I am alone.” “I am ashamed.” “I am anxious.”
These phrases don’t just describe how we feel—they begin to define who we believe we are. But what if the most important “I am” in your life isn’t yours?
In John 8:58, Jesus didn’t offer a metaphor—he revealed his identity. He claimed the very name and glory of God. This wasn’t symbolism. It was a declaration that he is the eternal Lord who saves. Because of who he is, we are invited to surrender fully to him—no longer defined by self-imposed labels, but by the truth of the great I am.
See how God used an unexpected moment in Peter’s life to advance the gospel in powerful ways. This message encourages ordinary believers to recognize open doors, trust God despite feelings of inadequacy, and share their faith with confidence as they join in God’s redemptive work today.
Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 that we are called to be servants of Christ and stewards of the gospel. As stewards, we're entrusted with the life-saving message of the gospel—not to own or edit it, but to faithfully share it with others. God measures our success not by visibility or impressive results, but by our faithfulness in following Jesus and making him known wherever we are. How can you be more intentional about sharing the gospel where God has placed you?
Before asking what you should do with your life, ask who you are and why you're here. You weren't saved by accident—you were chosen on purpose. With over 2 billion people having never heard the gospel, your placement isn't random. You're strategically positioned to make God's glory known. Are you living like someone saved on purpose?
What if your ordinary faithfulness today is writing an extraordinary legacy for tomorrow? The Book of Ruth ends with a surprising genealogy that reveals how God transforms emptiness into lasting impact through people just like you. Whether we're gleaning in fields of hardship, maintaining integrity in hidden places, or serving faithfully when no one notices, your obedience matters more than you know.
What if in 2026 you embraced a small but life-changing goal: delighting in God’s Word, just as the psalmist models in Psalm 119? This message explores how, even amid trials, the psalmist finds joy and contentment in Scripture and how that delight brings peace, wisdom for life’s challenges, divine blessing, and the strength to overcome sin. Discover practical ways to cultivate a love for God’s Word and make it a guiding light in your life this year.
Ruth 4 shows us a powerful moment where redemption is confirmed and celebrated in full view of the community. Through Boaz’s faithfulness, we’re reminded that God’s redemption is fully paid, deeply relational, and meant to overflow with joy. This message invites us to stop punishing ourselves for sins Jesus has already paid for, to walk closely with our covenant-keeping God, and to celebrate redemption wherever we see it.
Ruth 4 reveals that redemption is never free. It requires a redeemer who is both qualified and willing to bear the full cost. This message points us to the One who paid it all and calls us to live differently because of the grace we’ve received.
Ruth 3 ends not with celebration, but with waiting—showing us that God often follows his promises with an invitation to pause. Like Ruth, we may receive a promise without immediate fulfillment, learning to rest in the space between promise and completion. Faithful waiting looks back on God’s past faithfulness instead of present fears and values his presence above any particular outcome. Our waiting is never wasted, because it’s not ultimately about what we’re waiting for, but who we’re waiting with.
The story of Ruth and Boaz illustrates what holiness looks like in the face of temptation. On the threshing floor, both chose righteousness over compromise, reminding us that God works through people aligned with his character.
We face our own “threshing floors” every day—in workplaces, online, and in relationships—where the easy path often pulls us away from obedience. Even in church, we can slip into compromise through anonymous attendance, uncommitted belonging, spectator discipleship, or casual generosity. Holiness grows as we draw near to God through his Word and prayer, training ourselves for godliness instead of hoping it happens by accident.
We admire bold risk-takers in our culture—those who invest in unseen dreams, make impossible plays, or run toward danger. But what about bold risk in matters of faith? The real question isn’t whether we value faithful risk-taking, but whether we’re willing to live it by choosing humble and courageous obedience that shows the world we truly trust God above all else.
In Ruth 3, we see a clear truth: God’s provision is our only hope for redemption. When we trust him even when the outcome is uncertain, obedience shifts from a risk to the pathway where we experience his redemptive work in our lives.
A woman grieving her husband and staring down the loss of her sons has nothing left but a small jar of oil. In her pain, she wonders if following God is even worth it. What happens next reveals something incredible about how God sees quiet, faithful service.
If you’ve ever faced a hard season and questioned whether obedience matters, this passage offers hope. It reminds us that God meets us in our need and that faithfulness in the difficult places is never wasted.
477739 What makes a pastor's heart truly beat for his people? Philippians 1:3–11 reveals Paul's pastoral heart through his letter to the church at Philippi, written from a prison cell to the congregation he helped plant over a decade earlier. Paul reflects on the joyful memories of their gospel partnership, expresses his confident assurance in their spiritual journey, and shares genuine Christian affection, showing it's right and good to express deep care for one another, even amid suffering. The message culminates in Paul's prayer for their continued spiritual maturity, that their love would abound more and more in wisdom, obedience, and lasting fruit. Are we displaying these same qualities of joyful partnership, steadfast confidence, authentic care, and ever-deepening spiritual growth in today's church?
The story of Ruth illustrates God's character as one who fills the empty through generous, sufficient, and faithful provision. When Ruth and Naomi arrived in Bethlehem, they represented complete emptiness in their ancient world—no husbands, sons, food, or security. Yet Ruth chapter 2 marks a turning point that reveals fundamental truths about God's covenant grace. God's provision through Boaz demonstrates divine generosity that goes far beyond expectations. This story assures believers today that we have a reserved seat at God's table of grace, and his hand of provision never ceases working on our behalf, even when circumstances appear empty.
Ever been overwhelmed by unexpected kindness from a stranger? Ruth's story shows us what happens when generous grace meets desperate need. Discover how God's redeeming kindness doesn't just rescue us, it transforms us to reflect his grace to others.
Life often feels uncertain and random, but God's providence reveals his sovereign care orchestrating events for his glory and our good. Through Ruth's story, we see how God prepares the way before we even realize our need, positioning the right people and circumstances at the perfect time. God doesn't just work in dramatic moments—he meets us in ordinary, everyday situations. The key is learning to look for what God is doing rather than focusing on what he isn't doing.
Even though pain and sin may describe what you’ve been through, they don’t define who you are. Naomi’s story reminds us how easily suffering can distort our sense of identity. Like her, we often let struggles and failures speak louder than God’s truth, allowing them to shape who we believe ourselves to be. But God’s grace tells a different story—one where we are new creations, beloved children, and his masterpiece. Our worth isn’t determined by our pain; it’s secured by Christ’s finished work on our behalf.
The story of Ruth and Naomi in Ruth 1:6–18 offers a powerful illustration of how God's grace operates in the messiest and most broken of circumstances. This isn't simply a story about family loyalty, but a profound demonstration of divine grace working through imperfect people in impossible situations. And through this story, we begin to see how letting others into our brokenness and scars can point to the story of Christ Jesus, who knows better than anybody of giving himself that we might have life.
The Book of Ruth begins during the dark period of the Judges when Israel repeatedly cycled through rebellion, retribution, repentance, and rescue. Facing severe famine in Bethlehem, Elimelech chose to flee to Moab rather than trust God's providence. This decision led to greater tragedy as Elimelech and his sons died in Moab, leaving Naomi completely empty. God often uses hardships to turn hearts back to Him, and any path away from God ultimately leads to ruin. However, emptiness is never the end of God's story; it's often the beginning of his redemptive work in our lives.
We are both sheep and shepherds—learning from others while also leading others toward Jesus. That’s the heart of the legacy we are called to leave through multiplication. It’s about faith that doesn’t stop with us, but continues as we walk with someone else, speak biblical truth, and help them grow in godliness. When we live out this rhythm of multiplication, we leave behind a legacy of faith that lasts far beyond our own lives.
At Houston Northeast, the second rhythm of discipleship is all about surrender—choosing God’s kingdom over our own. In Luke 9:23–25, Jesus challenges us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. This message will help you see the difference between kingdom priority, giving God our first and best, and kingdom sacrifice, saying "yes" whenever and however God calls you.
This week, we looked at the first of our three rhythms of discipleship: community. God designed us for community, reflecting his Trinitarian nature, and the early church modeled this through devotion to God and one another. To follow Jesus well, we need both vertical connection with God and horizontal connection with others. Biblical community isn’t optional—it’s essential for discipleship.
We kicked off our new discipleship series by asking: What is a disciple? Matthew 28 reminds us that Jesus’ final command wasn’t just about missions, but about making disciples—people who learn and live his Word, grow in community, and become more like Christ for a lifetime. This week, we uncovered three core truths about discipleship, and in the weeks ahead, we’ll explore how to live this out together as a church family.
Are you building your life on rock or sand? Jesus warns that identical-looking houses can have drastically different outcomes when storms hit. What's truly beneath the surface of your life? The foundation you choose today determines whether you'll stand or fall tomorrow.
Jesus presents us with two paths in life: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to eternal life. The wide gate offers no boundaries or restrictions, while the narrow gate requires self-denial and making Jesus the center of your life. On this difficult but worthwhile journey, we need guidance from true leaders who consistently point to God's Word and Son. The mark of an authentic disciple isn't impressive religious works but wholehearted devotion to Christ. We must choose wisely, as our eternal destiny depends on it.
When Jesus said 'Judge not,' was he really telling us never to make moral judgments? Discover what this often-misquoted verse actually means and how it connects to discernment, prayer, and loving others. Are you seeing the log in your own eye before pointing out the speck in someone else's?
Despite living in perhaps the most anxious generation in history, peace is not as elusive as you may think. Jesus offers a powerful remedy for anxiety in Matthew 6:25-34, teaching that Kingdom trust frees us from worry because we have a Father who knows, cares, and provides. Discover how seeking God's kingdom first transforms anxiety into peace and redefines your identity from 'the anxious one' to 'child of God'.
This message explores the three key questions Jesus asks to test our spiritual alignment: Where’s your treasure? How’s your vision? Who do you serve? He challenges us to trade temporary, earthly pursuits for lasting, eternal ones and reminds us that what we value reveals our hearts, shapes our perspective, and determines who we truly serve.
The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 provides believers with a comprehensive framework for connecting with God that balances intimacy and reverence. Rather than reciting these words mindlessly, Jesus intended this prayer to transform how we approach God. It teaches us to begin with worship, surrender control, align with God's purposes, depend on Him daily, practice forgiveness, and seek His protection. By following this pattern, we position ourselves to experience God's presence and power in transformative ways that impact our relationships, decisions, and daily living.
In Matthew 6:1-18, Jesus calls us to examine the why behind our spiritual practices. Giving, praying, and fasting aren’t meant to put us on display; they’re meant to draw us closer to the heart of the Father. The issue isn’t visibility, but motivation. When we truly know who God is and what He’s done for us, our response won’t be performance for people—it will be worship, obedience, and a desire to please Him above all.
What if the strongest response to those who hurt you isn't revenge, but radical love? Jesus calls us to a seemingly impossible standard: loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us. Discover how the Kingdom way of refusing revenge and reflecting God's character can transform your most difficult relationships.
In a world where promises are easily broken, what does it mean to keep our word the Kingdom way? Jesus calls us to a radical standard of faithfulness in both marriage and speech that reflects God's own character. There's no relationship too broken for God to redeem! Discover how your marriage and your words can become powerful testimonies of gospel truth.
Discover how Jesus redefines righteousness in Matthew 5:21–30, showing that anger is like murder and lust like adultery in God’s eyes. This teaching reveals the heart-level standard of God’s law—one no one can meet on their own. Jesus calls us to pursue reconciliation, take sin seriously, and rely not on our own efforts but on His righteousness.
In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus clearly reveals what he believes about Scripture and why it matters for you today. He teaches that Scripture is divinely inspired and completely true, with every word pointing to Him as the fulfillment of God’s promises. Not a single detail will fail to come to pass. What might happen if you started seeing God’s Word as the foundation of truth and the guide for life and allowed it to reshape your heart, priorities, and purpose?
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes two powerful identity statements about His followers: 'You are the salt of the earth' and 'You are the light of the world.' This isn't something Christians should aspire to become but rather it's who they already are in Christ. This powerful teaching challenges believers to embrace their God-given identity fully, commit to showing God's love in grace and truth, and do God’s works defined by him and for his glory. If you're seeking to understand your purpose as a Christian or wondering how to live authentically in today's world, this message offers biblical insight on being salt and light in a way that glorifies God.
Jesus began His Sermon on the Mount not with commands, but with a promise: “Blessed are…” In week one of Summer on the Mount, we looked at how the Beatitudes aren't just a list of virtues—they're the characteristics of a life surrendered to the King. In a world chasing status and success, Jesus shows us the way of the kingdom: humility, mercy, purity, and peace. This kind of life may go unnoticed by the world, but it's marked by true blessing and eternal reward.
Are you projecting your own image or reflecting Christ's glory? In a world consumed with personal branding, discover how to experience true transformation by beholding God rather than trying to create your own light. This message from 2 Corinthians unpacks what it means to be transformed by God’s presence and how we reflect Christ by enduring hardship, turning from hidden sin, and proclaiming Jesus to the world around us.

Discover how to resist worldly deception, focus on Christ's glory, and live ready for His return. What specific step of obedience is God calling you to take right now?
God uses ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. When you say "yes" to His call to serve, you step into a life of transformation. Whether in seemingly small tasks or more visible positions, every role plays a vital part in God's kingdom work. As you serve faithfully, you not only draw closer to God, but you also help lead others toward Him. Where will you Get in the Game this year?

Revelation 16 reveals the final outpouring of God’s judgment as the seven bowls of His wrath are poured out on the earth.

While Satan appears mighty in this world, using schemes of accusation, deception, and death to make believers doubt, feel guilty, and live in fear, God remains ultimately victorious.

Silence is the only appropriate response to the unveiling of God’s glory and judgment being unveiled to humanity. Having this awe-inspired view of God should inspire us to always seek him in prayer. Hear more from this week’s message from Revelation 8:1-5.
