It will be great to welcome Steve Hodgson back to the Northside platform for our services on Father’s Day to speak on “The Image of the Father”.
Many people think the Christian life is about avoiding or even denying the mess. But being a follower of Jesus is not about avoiding the mess but becoming someone in spite of it. Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: Philippians 1:3–11
If you want to know what a mess looks like you don’t have to look too far. We’ve all had them. What if your messses (past and present) have the power to bring you closer to God? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Romans 3:19-20, 23
Whether you’re a religious type or not, surely you’ve either been in, are in, or one decision away from a mess. So let’s talk about that… Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Romans 3:19-20, 23
How should we pray? Ironically for all of the questions the early followers of Jesus could ask him, this was one of the key ones. Thankfully for them (and for us today) Jesus gave them as an answer. We’ll look at what it is in the ultimate prayer… the Lord’s prayer. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Matthew 6:5-15 (TNIV)
How do you pray when life hits you so hard, you don’t even want to think about God, let alone talk to him? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Psalm 88:1-2, 6-18 (TNIV)
Prayer. It’s something even the most non-Religious of people have tried at times. It’s something Christians do but it’s the result of this prayer many crave. It’s the prayer “God… how can I feel you are there?”. How do you pray for an experience of God and how do you know it’s worked? Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: Ephesians 3:14-21 (TNIV)
It is something at the heart of the Christian lifestyle. Jesus constantly did it. Even the most non-Religious of people at times will do it. Pray. More specifically, we pray often when we need guidance, strength or simply to feel more of God. How does it work then? This new series looks at a number of case studies from the Bible, in which people prayed and had spiritual encounters with God. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Psalm 25:1-12 (TNIV)
Life in the big city can feel like it’s all take and no give, like it only wants something from you. What if the heart of the Christian message was that there is a God who not only wants something for you but has gone to scandalous lengths to make it possible. Join us as we dive deep into one of Jesus’ most rich and beautiful stories to explore the extravagant love of God who has made rest, peace and belonging possible for your life. Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: Luke 15:11-24
Many people define brand as “What people say about you when you’re not in the room”. If ever there was a believer with a clear and well regarded “Brand” it was Daniel. What are the key trademarks of a believer living for an unbelieving city? What do people say about you when you’re “not in the room”? Reading: Daniel 6:1-5, 13,16,19-21, 25-26
