Life Amidst Present Darkness
Jesus leads His disciples to a dark place to impact the lives of men, who were socially ostracized. This tells us a great deal about Jesus’ heart for the lost and lonely.
DetailsThe Cost of Discipleship
Following Christ and discipleship can be used synonymously. At the root of our decision to follow Christ is the ability to trust God. This is a learned behavior for any believer. The more we walk with Him the more we learn to Trust Him.
DetailsThe Authority of the King
Jesus finishes His sermon on the Mount and begins to display the power of the Kingdom of God through performing Miracles in others lives. We immediately see that Jesus’ authority has to combat barriers that we have placed in our lives.
DetailsA True Story (Easter)
Is there a real story that we all can trust in? Is it true for all people? Is life a series of stories being made up by humans, to tell one another? The Bible claims to be true and tell us the story of our world’s history and the purpose of human life. The problem is that many believers in Jesus have reduced the Bible to a bunch of different stories that don’t all tie in the the greater narrative. We have to view the Bible as a story which God uses to reveal himself to us. This week we celebrate the “Pinnacle” of God’s story –Jesus’ resurrection.
DetailsBecome: Stable
Jesus teaches us that we are all have the potential to build amazing things in our lives. He also warns us to chose wisely what foundation we decide to build upon –a stable foundation or one that would cause our house to crumble– when the difficulties of life begin.
Become: Known
Jesus wants to enter a relationship with us. This week we examine what it takes to become known by God.
What You Do, Matters
Jesus unleashes a bold statement during His sermon on the mount that should forever change the way that we live. He said, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them…” (Matthew 7:12). This principle commands us to navigate life by acknowledging others needs, and then acting upon them as we would like others to act upon our needs.
Praying For Kingdom Perspective
God has given us the opportunities to approach Him in prayer, with the purpose of getting a deeper Kingdom perspective on things.
You’re Not The Judge
We have heard so many times that only God can judge. While there is an element of truth to that statement God has called us to be discerning. So while we not the ultimate judge of people’s destination or motivation, we are called to be discerning.
[RE]Member
God requires his people to make disciples which is not an easy task. In the series [RE] we discuss mission, vision and values of Northeast Community Church, and how it ties into God’s purpose for the church. We must remember.
