Northplace Church Podcast

This is not a message for reprobates, pagans, and blasphemers. It’s the cry of the Father to his children…children who may be moral, religious, church goers…but children whose spiritual affection has waned…whose spiritual passion has grown cold…children who have become satisfied, complacent, and comfortable.

If somebody asked you to describe the Christian life in a few words, what would you say? If somebody asked you, “What does God want from us more than anything else?” What would you say? If you said moral devotion, if you said ethical behavior, if you said faithfulness to religious rituals you’d be wrong. Those can be important things…but not THE most important thing. The essence of the Christian life can be summed up in two words “love relationship”. God wants to have a love relationship with you. For more info visit http://northplacechurch.com/

God designed for us relationship. He meant for us to be in community with each other. Whether you are single or married, you need a spiritual family, a group of three or four or five people that you can walk through life with. This week we explored why it's better when we serve together. God did not put you on earth to live a selfish life. God didn’t put you on earth just to take up space, to breathe, have fun and die. God put you here to make the world a better place. God has a contribution He wants you to make with your life. He wants you to practice serving Him now to get ready for eternity. Remember this life is a dress rehearsal for eternity. When you get to heaven, one of the things you’re going to do there is serve God and God wants you to get some practice here on earth. How do you serve God? There’s only one way. By serving other people. You cannot serve God directly. You can only serve God by serving others. Whenever you use your talents, your time, your energy, your resources,

This week Pastor Bryan focused on a third component necessary in the life of a Christ follower…Maturity or Discipleship. It’s the concept of spiritual formation…or growing up spiritually. How can I grow spiritually? More than that…this is the Better Together series…how do we help each other grow spiritually. For more info visit http://northplacechurch.com/

Pastor Robert Madu challenged us to, in the frame of community, share the gifts that God has uniquely placed in each of us.

During the window of the next 6 weeks we are focusing on two things. One is deepening the sense of community and relationship within our church family…and the second is reaching out to the community around us. Deepening the sense of love…internally…within our church family…and…Reaching out in love…externally… to the community around our church family.

God says what matters most in life is not your accomplishments, or your achievements, your title, or your wealth…but your faith that makes you love others. The Scripture says if you miss this you have missed the most important thing in life. Over the next six, weeks we are going to focus on what matters most to God…strengthening our faith that makes us love others. We are going to focus on three primary areas…three communities: 1. The community of our church. 2. The community of our small group. 3. The community of the world around us. Visit http://northplacechurch.com/ for more information.

As we grow in becoming a great church and grow in numbers, how do when ensure we don’t become a crowd but make sure we stay a church? For 1900 years when people went to church they went to church with people who knew them incredibly well Monday through Saturday. There was no mobility. We can make kingdom impact as a church…as we grow and reach critical mass that could have never happened when we were smaller but we must be diligent in finding a way keep some of the things from the old neighborhood…before the days of mobility. This is why small groups matter so much at Northplace Church. This is why the series we are about to enter…starting next Sunday…Better Together… is going to be so transformational to you, your family and our church as a whole.

You may have heard the phrase that “X marks the spot”…but that isn’t really true…it’s not an X it’s a Dot. Atoms, pixels, or points…they are the stuff we are made of…dots. After all, a line is just a series of connected dots and if that line is a timeline of history then those dots mark significant points in history that cannot or should not be ignored. We are each given a moment…a dot…The question is…will our moment vanish as time passes? Or would it possible to make that dot of time, multiply again and again and again… in such a way that it is felt all throughout history.

This week we reconnected to a word that has shaped the culture of this church. It’s…more than a word…it’s a way of responding to God…it’s a way of living life. That word is "Extravagant."
