Northplace Church Podcast

Join us in a conversation about Glocal missions and our church’s calling to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus. This morning, we were privileged to hear from our Project Rescue partners, BBC and Shelly Teague, who shared about their impactful work in the Ivory Coast and across the continent of Africa. Let’s lean in together as we push to expand God’s mission across the world—from the nations to the neighborhoods.

One of the biggest influences on our lives is how we handle our finances. But Scripture offers more than just advice—it gives us wisdom for stewarding our resources in a way that honors God."Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce." — Proverbs 3:9How can we align our financial decisions with biblical principles? What does it mean to trust God with our money? Tune in to discover timeless wisdom for personal finances. 

Prayer is more than just an obligation; it's an invitation to connect with God. As our church embarks on 2025, we feel called to two transformative principles: becoming a spiritual family built on connection and cultivating whole-life generosity. Both begin with prayer—a life-changing relationship, not just a ritual. Inspired by Jesus’ example, we're reminded that prayer isn’t about techniques but intimacy with a God who knows and loves us. Let’s answer His invitation into the adventure of prayer, shaping us and positioning our church to reveal God’s authentic presence to a watching world.

Join us for a heartfelt message from Pastor Bryan as we reflect on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. In this week’s sermon, we’ll explore how living in community and embracing God’s design for family can bring connection and purpose to our lives. Discover how taking small, intentional steps can make a big difference in building relationships and sharing God’s love with those around us. Let’s step into this new year together, focused on living generously and growing as a family of faith.

Too often, we settle for an appearance of faith that lacks genuine substance. Jesus challenges us to examine the difference between looking fruitful and truly bearing fruit in our lives. Are we rooted in Him, or are we content with the outward signs of growth that fail to reflect real transformation?Last week's sermon called us to go beyond surface-level faith and confront the hard questions: Are we living lives that glorify God, or are we hiding behind the illusion of religiosity? Listen as we talked about how surrendering to God’s refining work in every area of life can lead to genuine fruitfulness and a faith that honors Him fully. 

Advent is a season of joy, a time to celebrate the love of a God who breaks through our everyday lives to bring hope. In Luke 2:8-11, the angel’s announcement reminds us that we’re never alone, that God’s joy and goodness are for everyone, and that His gift of a Savior meets our deepest need. Jesus’ birth isn’t just a moment in history—it’s a promise of a future where sin and suffering are no more. This Christmas, let’s reflect on the joy that comes from knowing God’s love and the hope we have in Him.
