A thriving marriage doesn't just happen. It takes work, grace, and a shared commitment to something greater than ourselves. God's design for marriage calls us to unity, humility, and selflessness — not perfection, but partnership. Whether you're newly married or decades in, the key isn't demanding your way, but choosing daily to love the way Jesus loves. Let's discover how strong marriages are built — not by accident, but on purpose.

Life is made up of relationships — with our families, our friends, our spouses, and our kids. And while those connections can bring incredible joy, they can also come with challenges, heartaches, and questions we don't always know how to answer. In our new series “This Is Us", we're leaning in together to talk about navigating life's most critical relationships — with honesty, grace, and a whole lot of love. Because God cares deeply about the people in our lives, and He offers wisdom and hope for every relationship we're in. So wherever you are, whatever you're walking through — this is us, and we're in this together.

Have you ever wondered what you should expect from the church—and what the church expects from you? Too often, assumptions, disappointments, and misunderstandings shape our experiences. In "Let's Be Clear", we'll cut through the confusion and define what it truly means to be part of the body of Christ.

What You Can Expect from the Church - Let's Be Clear

When people hear the word church, they often think of a building, a service, or even a set of traditions. But when God designed the Church, He had something much bigger—and much better—in mind. At its best, the Church is a place where Jesus is the foundation, love is the culture, truth is spoken with grace, and people are supported, encouraged, and sent out to make a difference. We believe the local church, as God designed it, is the hope of the world—and at Northgate, here's what you can expect as we live that out together.

He Has Risen! He Is Not Here - ReMARKable

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 22, 2025 22:22


The most remarkable part of Jesus' story isn't just how He lived—but that His story didn't end with death. When the women arrived at the tomb, they came expecting to care for a body. Instead, they found an empty grave—and an angel with astonishing news: “He has risen! He is not here.” (Mark 16:6) Even the most faithful didn't expect the story to continue. But God had bigger plans.

Even the Son of Man Did Not Come to be Served - ReMARKable

It's easy to chase success by seeking recognition or climbing the ladder to the top—but Jesus offers us a different model of greatness. When James and John asked for the seats of honor beside Him in glory, Jesus didn't scold them—He redirected them. Greatness in God's Kingdom doesn't come through power or position, but through humility and sacrifice.  

This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him! - ReMARKable

If you want to hear from God—you can. He's already told us how: listen to Jesus. But let's be real... sometimes we hear His words and: they don't sink in, we don't want to obey and we don't fully understand—yet. Still, He speaks. And when we lean in, listen, and let His Spirit work in us? That's where transformation begins.

Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple - ReMARKable

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 31, 2025 29:56


"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me." Following Jesus isn't about comfort or convenience—it's about surrender and self-sacrifice. The world may chase power, possessions, and influence, but Jesus calls us to a different path—one where losing our life for His sake is actually how we find it.

The People Ate and Were Satisfied - ReMARKable

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 24, 2025 29:45


When Jesus saw the crowd, His first response was compassion—not calculation. With just five loaves and two fish, He provided more than enough for thousands. And not only were they fed, but there were twelve baskets of leftovers. God's provision is never lacking—it's sufficient, abundant, and extravagant. Even when you feel like you have little to offer, what you hold in your hands could be the key to someone else's answered prayer.

Don't Be Afraid; Just Believe - ReMARKable

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2025 27:57


Faith takes different forms—sometimes it's urgent and desperate, other times it's patient and persistent. No matter the season, Jesus responds personally to those who seek Him. But sometimes, His answer doesn't look like what we expected or wanted. “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” – Mark 5:34  “Don't be afraid; just believe.” – Mark 5:36 Whether you're holding on in hope or crying out in need, keep believing—He sees you, He hears you, and He is moving, even when the answer looks different than you imagined.

When the winds rage and the waves crash, remember this: Jesus is in the boat with you.  Just like He calmed the storm with His words, He speaks peace into our lives today. Fear takes over when we forget who's in charge, but faith grows stronger when we trust that He's near—even when He seems silent.

The same seed can produce completely different results—it all depends on the soil. In this message from reMARKable, Jesus' parable of the sower challenges us to examine the condition of our hearts. Are we hardened, shallow, distracted, or ready to receive and grow? When God's Word takes root in good soil, it leads to a harvest beyond what we can imagine!

The Sabbath Was Made for Man - ReMARKable

Jesus challenged the religious rules of His time to reveal a deeper truth—the Sabbath wasn't about rituals, but about rest, renewal, and relationship with God. In this reMARKable message, we explore how Jesus redefined the Sabbath, healed on a day of rest, and showed that God's heart is for people, not just traditions.

Twisted Scripture -Where Two or Three Are Gathered

Many of us have heard Matthew 18:20 used to encourage small gatherings or prayer meetings—but was that really Jesus' intent? This week, we'll uncover the true meaning behind this verse and explore the biblical process of accountability Jesus outlined for addressing sin among believers. How do we lovingly confront others? When should we set boundaries? And how do we ensure restoration remains the goal? Join us as we dive into what it truly means to gather in Jesus' name.

Twisted Scripture - Don't judge or you too will be judged.

“Who are you to judge?” It's a phrase we hear often, but what did Jesus really mean in Matthew 7:1? This week, we'll unpack His words and explore the difference between discernment and condemnation. We'll look at how self-awareness, humility, and mercy shape the way we treat others—and how Jesus' example challenges us to build a community marked by love, justice, and reconciliation. Join us as we seek to understand what it truly means to judge rightly.

Twisted Scripture - All Things Work Together

"Does everything really happen for a reason?" This week, we'll dive into one of the most quoted—and misused—verses in the Bible, Romans 8:28.

We'll uncover the dangers of oversimplifying this powerful truth and learn how to embrace authentic healing, even in life's toughest moments.

Twisted Scripture - Women Should Be Quiet in the Church

1 Timothy 2:11-12 is often cited to limit the roles of women in the church, but what if this interpretation is based on misunderstanding the context? In this message, we'll explore how Paul's instructions addressed specific issues in the Ephesian church, rather than imposing a universal ban on women's leadership and teaching roles.

Twisted Scripture - The Plans I Have for You

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, often used to inspire hope and confidence in God's good plans for our lives. But what if this popular verse doesn't mean exactly what we think? In this week's message, The Plans I Have for You, we'll take a closer look at the context of Jeremiah 29:11 and uncover its true meaning. The promise wasn't about wealth, success, or instant deliverance—it was a message of hope for the Israelites living in exile. God's plan was to sustain them during a difficult season, even though their situation wouldn't change overnight (Jeremiah 29:4-10).

Twisted Scripture - God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle

We've all heard the phrase “God won't give you more than you can handle.” But is that true? The Bible actually tells a different story—one where people face more than they can endure on their own. The key truth is this: life often brings overwhelming challenges, but God promises to meet us in the middle of our mess with His grace, strength, and peace.

Life often brings us to crossroads where fear and faith collide. This week, we'll look at Joseph's Choice and how his decision to trust God's plan, even when it seemed impossible, changed the course of history. When Joseph discovered Mary's unexpected pregnancy (Matthew 1:18-19), he faced a tough choice: follow his fear or trust God's guidance. Through the angel's message, Joseph learned that stepping out in faith would not only honor God but also play a crucial role in His redemptive plan (Matthew 1:20-23).

Life is full of choices, and sometimes our decisions lead to mistakes with lasting consequences. But even when doubt creeps in, God's grace offers us a second chance to be part of His greater purpose. In this week's message, we'll explore the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth (Luke 1), a couple who faced doubt despite their faithfulness. Through their journey, we'll see how God's promises prevail, even when questioned. Just like Zechariah, who doubted God's ability to fulfill His word in old age, we're reminded that choosing faith over doubt opens the door for God to do extraordinary things through us.
