Northstar Church

Life together with Jesus that overcomes my sensual nature

Saved from viewing my sin casually

Understanding the horror of being cut off from Christ and God

Description: Do your best intentions almost always outrun your actual life? Is there a way to grow into being the kind of person who is regularly being transformed into a closer version of Christlikeness? Join us this Sunday to learn about how you can set yourself up for greater transformation through the power of Christ.

Facing every circumstance with God and confidence

Refreshed as I give myself away

Relying more on God‘s powerful working

Grace as the power to stop sitting rather than the excuse to continue

Throwing away my sinful nature, which has been severed

Using God‘s work in the past to put to death the deeds of my body now

Resting in God‘s authority over the people who have authority over me

Description: Have you ever met someone who knew the Bible well or prayed a lot but did not seem to be a loving person. On Sunday we'll be talking about how to avoid the hidden danger of spiritual practices.

Finding my significance in the one who is supreme

Cease striving in my human effort to become more

Christ as the superior treasure over everything the world offers.

Greater awe for Jesus

Relying on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than the strategies of human effort

Free from the trap of living in the kingdom of this world

 Recognizing and rejecting the emptiness of false promises

Description: In a world full of surface-level connection, many of us are aching for something deeper. We long to be known, loved, and supported in meaningful ways—but often struggle to find that kind of community. In this message, we'll explore how Jesus cultivated relationships that brought healing and transformation. Together, we'll discover five practices that can help us build the kind of Christ-centered community we were created for.

Protected from the arrogant pursuit of knowing what others do not

Enslaved by “good” human effort

A heart overfilled with gratitude

Treasuring God‘s word enough to walk with Jesus

Strengthened to be content in every circumstance

Increasing God‘s work in and through my life

Experiencing more of Jesus‘s love and character, my primary purpose

Description: What if you could experience God not just in rare moments or eternity, but every single day? Discover the three dynamics of God's presence: future, magical, and continuous. Learn how to communicate with and hear Him regarding every aspect of your life. Sunday's message will show you how God's presence can transform your ordinary days into extraordinary encounters.

 Abiding in Christ constantly as I walk with him today

walking in the supreme Lord of the universe who wants only my deepest happiness

Walking today with Jesus, my help

Walking primarily in God's kingdom with Christ, my king

 Jesus is always near to me

 The recognition that Jesus can be trusted

Reflecting God's character of order and peace by preparing my day

Description: The library we call “the Bible” will connect us to God and change who we are, but distraction, hurry, and confusion can hinder our experience with these ancient texts. Rediscover how to engage Scripture as an apprentice to Jesus.

Abiding in God's love by obeying His word

 A set order for daily obedience

Being with people in spirit

Recognizing thoughts that oppose God

Recognizing and resisting deceptive false reasons

Seeking Jesus as I seek knowledge

 Asking God to help me form and carry out the best plans for today

In a world where practicing Sabbath feels impractical, unproductive, and costly, why would I choose to do it anyway? Come see why you're not too busy for Sabbath, but why you're actually far too valuable to live without it! 

Recognizing the preciousness of Jesus, so I treasure Him more

Seeking a greater vision of Jesus‘s great Majesty

Recognizing Jesus as superior over every other thing I treasure
