Council of moms- Mother's Day 2026

This week at True North Church, we did something a little different. Instead of a traditional sermon, we gathered around the wisdom of mothers. Our “Council of Moms” shared honest stories, hard-earned wisdom, laughter, and encouragement about parenting, marriage, faith, discipleship, and what it really looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. From raising children to navigating difficult seasons, this conversation reminded us that faith is often formed in the ordinary moments of love, sacrifice, prayer, and presence. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, young adult, or simply someone looking for wisdom and encouragement, this conversation is full of practical insight and heartfelt reminders that God is present in every season of life. We pray this episode encourages you, strengthens your family, and points you toward deeper trust in Jesus.

Great Commission pt.2

Discipleship isn’t like social media—it’s not a highlight reel. We don’t just post the wins; real discipleship includes the struggles, the failures, and everything in between. In this message, we break down why following Jesus can’t be reduced to a formula or system. Church growth isn’t scientific—it’s supernatural. The cross and the work of the Holy Spirit can’t be mass-produced. True discipleship requires slowing down, sharing life, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us daily. We dive into the power of impartation—“come and be with Me”—where identity is formed and character is caught, not just taught. Then we move into what it means to remain in Christ, where transformation flows from connection, not pressure. This week challenges us with a deeper question: Who are you imitating? Because every decision you make is shaping who you’re becoming. Discipleship isn’t just about believing in Jesus—it’s about becoming like Him. “Live as people of the Light.”

Easter Event – Week 2 | From Information to Transformation In this week’s message, we step into Luke 24 and walk alongside the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—a moment filled with confusion, disappointment, and ultimately, divine revelation. These disciples had hoped Jesus would be the One… but because He didn’t meet their expectations, they lost hope. Sound familiar? At some point, we’ve all experienced hope deferred. Yet even after hearing reports of the empty tomb, they still couldn’t see what God was doing right in front of them. Why? Because sometimes our perspective limits our ability to recognize God’s power. Jesus begins to unfold the Scriptures, revealing how everything—from Moses to the prophets—pointed to Him. What we often call “types and shadows” comes alive as we see glimpses of Christ through figures like Moses, Joseph, Boaz, Esther, and Hosea. This is more than theology—it’s a reminder that God has always had a redemptive plan. But the turning point wasn’t just information—it was encounter. As they urged Jesus to stay, they leaned into His presence. In that moment, we see a powerful truth: we weren’t created for occasional connection, but daily dependence. As Isaiah 26:3 reminds us, God keeps in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed—fully dependent—on Him. Then comes the breakthrough. In the breaking of bread, their eyes are opened. And in Luke 24:32, they declare, “Did not our hearts burn within us?” What started as confusion turned into clarity. What began as information became transformation. That’s the invitation for all of us. Not just to know about Jesus—but to encounter Him in a way that sets our hearts on fire. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at truenorth731.com

Resurrection Sunday 2026

EASTER 2026 | From Death to Daily Union In this powerful Easter message, we trace the story of redemption from the opening lines of Scripture to the finished work of Jesus. From Genesis 1, where humanity was created in the image of God to live in perfect harmony with Him, to the moment sin disrupted that design—this message confronts the root issue still affecting us today: our desire to define good and evil on our own terms. What began with a “half-truth” in the garden led to a humanity living out of sync—what Scripture calls sin. But God’s plan was never to leave us there. Through the lens of the entire Bible, we see how everything was pointing to Jesus: The ark as the one door to salvation Abraham’s ram as a shadow of the ultimate sacrifice The Red Sea as a picture of deliverance David’s victory foreshadowing the defeat of the enemy Esther standing in the gap, just like Christ on the cross Jesus—fully God and fully man—did not just come to forgive sin, but to restore us back into union with the Father, Son, and Spirit. Because of Adam, humanity fell into spiritual death. But through Christ, we are made alive again. This message crescendos in Ephesians 2:1–6—a reminder that resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate once a year… it’s a reality we are invited to live in every single day. Easter is not about an annual moment—it’s about a daily union. Will you settle for remembering Jesus once a year, or will you step into the life He died to give you?!

Palm Sunday 2026

In this Palm Sunday message from Gospel of Matthew 21:1–11, we take a deeper look at the Triumphal Entry and uncover a powerful truth hidden in plain sight. Why did Jesus ride a donkey instead of a war horse? In the ancient world, horses symbolized war—but donkeys symbolized peace. While the crowd cried “Hosanna” (“save us now”), expecting political overthrow, Jesus was revealing something greater: He came not to conquer Rome, but to bring peace by defeating sin and death. This message wrestles with a tension we still face today—our tendency to project our own expectations onto God. Like the crowd, we can desire a Savior who fixes our circumstances, while missing the King who transforms our hearts. What if the real issue isn’t what God is doing—but what we expected Him to do? Through the imagery of the donkey, we’re invited into a “holy stubbornness”—a surrendered life led by the Holy Spirit that says: “If it’s not God, I don’t want it. And if it is God, I won’t fight it.” This Palm Sunday is a call to lay down our expectations, resist shaping God in our image, and receive the true King—on His terms, in His way. Final question: If God doesn’t meet your expectations… will He still be King of your heart?

Giving IS Worship week 3 March 15th, 2026

This week we conclude our series “Giving Is Worship” by focusing on one of the most important things we can give—our heart. Giving isn’t just about money or time. At its core, giving is about participation in what God is doing on the earth. In this episode we explore what it means to partner with God (1 Corinthians 3:9) and how our obedience—whether big or small—becomes part of God’s work of transforming the world. We also unpack the biblical meaning of the heart from Proverbs 4:21–23 and what it truly means to guard it. Scripture shows that the heart includes our thoughts, our will, our discernment, and our affections, and each of these areas must be protected and surrendered to God. When we give our heart to Him, our lives begin to reflect His nature—because God Himself is a giver. Throughout the message we look at powerful biblical examples of what happens when people give their hearts fully: the devotion of Jacob, the warning of Samson, and the faith of the three Hebrew boys who chose faithfulness to God even in the face of fire. This episode challenges us with a simple but weighty truth: worship is costly, not casual. Whatever holds our heart ultimately becomes what we worship. The question we wrestle with is this—does God truly have our heart? Listen as we talk about guarding your heart, participating in God’s kingdom, and learning to live a life where giving becomes an act of worship.

Giving IS Worship WK 1 - March 1st, 2026

Today we launched our new series, Giving Is Worship, by exploring the heart behind giving and why it has always been an act of worship—not obligation. We began in Genesis 4:1–7, examining the offerings of Cain and Abel and how God looks beyond the gift itself to the posture of the heart. From the very beginning, worship through giving was about devotion, trust, and honor. We also looked at Abraham’s tithe to Melchizedek, a powerful moment that occurred before the Law was ever established. This reminds us that giving was never meant to be a legal requirement, but a voluntary response of reverence to God’s provision. In Romans 10:4, Paul declares that Christ is the fulfillment and perfection of the Law, shifting our motivation from duty to devotion. Because of Jesus, our giving flows from grace, not guilt. Finally, we anchored in 2 Corinthians 9:6–7, where Paul teaches that God loves a cheerful giver. The measure of our generosity reflects the trust of our hearts, and joyful giving becomes an act of worship that aligns us with God’s nature. This episode invites you to move beyond transactional giving and rediscover generosity as worship — a response to God’s goodness, not a requirement for His favor. Listen in and ask yourself: Is my giving an obligation… or an overflow of worship?

"1+1=1" series week 3 w/ Kelly & Natasha Cole

🎙️ 1+1=1 — Week 3 with special guests Kelly & Natasha Cole In Week 3 of our 1+1=1 series, Kelly and Natasha Cole share powerful, real-life wisdom on marriage, covenant, and spiritual warfare in relationships. With honesty and hope, they remind us that the enemy may tell enough lies to create chaos—but God’s design for oneness is stronger than any attack. Marriage isn’t a contract—it’s a covenant. And like a starting five, a thriving marriage includes God at the center: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, husband, and wife working in unity. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why unspoken expectations quietly sabotage relationships How a soft answer turns away wrath and diffuses conflict The truth that the only way you lose is if you quit Why working on yourself strengthens the covenant How the enemy can offer what you want—but never what you truly need The battle within every person: feeding the king or the fool Kelly and Natasha remind us that lasting love flows from pursuing the Lord first. When we surrender to God, we gain the strength, grace, and endurance to fight for oneness. 💣 You’re guaranteed success if you don’t give up. Because in God’s design, 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2 — it equals 1.
