The Great Mistake

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Keeping laws works from the outside in. Jesus wants people to live from the inside out. Following Christ is not about conformity to externally imposed rules, but being new creations with transformed hearts.

Be Reconciled

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0600

God's will and heart and character is reconciliation. It's what he is about. We are to be called ministers of reconciliation. Working for right relationships with others is an act of worship.

Murder and Anger

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0600

You have heard that it was said "do not murder," but I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.

The Righteousness of the Pharisees

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Unless you do far better than the Pharisees in the matters of right living, you won't know the first thing about entering the kingdom.

Fulfilling The Law

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Jesus came to usher in an upside down Kingdom, for sure, but that didn't have to mean breaking, changing or doing away with God's rules for living. He didn't abolish the Law, he fulfilled it.

Facing the Future

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0600

Lessons on facing the future from the early days of leadership in the life of Joshua.

Christmas Eve message

Jesus is the Fulfillment

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:00:00 -0600

Bad times don't cancel God's promises to us. He could have made the circumstances of our lives easy. He could have made it easy for Joseph and company. But he sends the promises in the middle of the trials so we have the chance to take him as his word.

Light of the World

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 18:00:00 -0600

The goal is not that people will say, "What great people those Christians are. Look at all the wonderful things they do to help people." Rather, the goal is that people will say, "What a great God they follow."

Salt of the Earth

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:00:00 -0600

We are salt. We are not "like" salt. As salt of the earth, the only important question is whether we're salty or not.

Kingdom Greatness

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0600

God is looking for people of childlike humility to take care of the business of his Kingdom. He's looking for people who can humbly admit they cannot do this without him.

The Economics of the Kingdom

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0600

The Kingdom that Jesus talks about is that place, any place, where people willfully submit to the rule of God and the authority of God and the wisdom of God.

Blessed are the Persecuted

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:00:00 -0600

When you desire to be godly in all your affairs and relationships and when you choose to proclaim the fact that there is no righteousness to be found anywhere except through the death and resurrection of Christ, you will experience opposition. Will you count it an honor or will you shrink with fear?

Blessed are the Peacemakers

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0500

So what is a peacemaker? Someone who is actively working to help people become right with God and right with each other, bringing peace wherever there are relationships.

Blessed are the Pure in Heart

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Conflicting loyalties make us hypocrites and confusing to self and others. Having to keep our eyes on two masters at once makes us spiritually cross-eyed and our vision is so blurred that neither image is clear.

Blessed are the Merciful

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Giving mercy comes from receiving mercy. You get the power and insight to be a merciful person from the reality and experience that you owe everything you are and have to divine mercy.

Blessed are Those who Hunger and Thirst

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Hungering and thirsting for righteousness is about wanting to be right with God more than anything else. Just like our appetite for food is ongoing, our desire to be right with God is the same way.

Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Poverty of spirit means "I am powerless to save myself, powerless to impress God or do anything to improve my standing with him." Poverty of spirit strips me of my pride and puts me humbly before God.

Who is Jesus

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Jesus wasn't simply a great man, or a great prophet, or a great leader. He is the dividng point of life. What you think about him will determin your destiny, your future, your legacy, for all of eternity.

Enough

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:00:00 -0500

It is right to pray for enough, because people who have enough, have time for the things of God. When we have enough, we can care about others and give to meet needs. It's right to pray for enough.

Fishing for Men

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Fishing for men and fishing for fish are not even remotely similar. So what did Jesus mean when he told the disciples they would become "fishers of men?"

The Righteous Will Live by Faith

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Everything in life may change, but God's Word remains constant. His truth never changes. Faith is all about trusting in God's promises.

Against Such Things There Is No Law

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Law cannot produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Law cannot limit the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

The Fruit of the Spirit is Self-Control

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Self-control exists always in this lifetime to mediate between the life that we once lived as a sinner and the life which the Lord desires we grow in as a believer.

The Fruit of the Spirit is Gentleness

office@npcc.cc (North Point Christian Church) — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:00:00 -0500

Our culture calls meekness a negative...a characteristic of a weak person, deficient in spirit and courage. But that couldn't be farther from the character of Christ.
