Have you ever felt like someone, or maybe even yourself, is just "too far gone" for God's grace? In Week 2 of our series, we dive into Mark 5:1–20 to explore what happens when Jesus intentionally crosses to the "other side" to reach a man society had completely isolated and written off. This powerful message reminds us that God's unmerited favor extends far beyond our comfort zones.

We sing about grace, talk about grace, and pray for grace...but sometimes grace unsettles us. What do we do when grace seems unfair? What about when it reaches people we would have written off? And does grace mean God is soft on sin? In our teaching series, Grappling with Grace, we'll explore why the grace of God can be so difficult to understand and so life-changing to receive. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or are just beginning to consider faith, this series will help us see why grace is not just something we believe...it is something we all desperately need.

Although they couldn't understand His words, Jesus was pointing them beyond their confusion to the hope of His resurrection and the joy that was coming.

In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Matt shares a childhood story of being accidentally left behind during a family move—a moment that left him feeling alone, helpless, and forgotten. But that story becomes a doorway into a much greater truth: God is not a distant Father. He is the perfect Father who pursues, protects, adopts, and loves His children with relentless compassion. Through Scripture and personal stories of adoption, foster care, and fatherhood, this sermon reveals the heart of God from Genesis to the cross. Discover what it means to be chosen, accepted, and deeply loved—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.

Have you ever felt unseen, forgotten, or lost in the crowd? In Mark 5, we encounter a woman who suffered for 12 years—physically, emotionally, and relationally. Desperate for hope, she pushed through the crowd to reach Jesus. What happened next reveals a powerful truth: Jesus doesn't just see crowds—He sees individuals. In this message, we explore how Jesus notices the overlooked, restores the broken, and invites us out of hiding and into healing. If you've been carrying shame, struggling in silence, or wondering if God sees your pain, this message is for you.

What makes Jesus the most influential person in history? This Easter message from North Metro Church explores the one event that changes everything—the resurrection. If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, Christianity falls apart. But if He did, it means He is who He claimed to be—and that changes everything for us today. In this message, we tackle three essential questions: Who is Jesus? Is Jesus the only way to God? Can we really believe in the resurrection? Through historical evidence, eyewitness accounts, and the transformation of Jesus' followers, we see why the resurrection is not just a belief—it's the foundation of faith. Easter is more than a tradition. It's an invitation to respond. Who do you say Jesus is?
