Northstar Church

Description: Feeling weary, overwhelmed, or just worn out? Maybe you've been pushing through but feel like giving up. This Sunday's message will show you how to step through the doors God is opening—so you can not only endure but thrive, even in life's most difficult seasons.

Recognizing the unique ministry that God has for me now

 The importance of reading books about the inspired Word of God

bringing God's word to others when it's inconvenient

Recognizing the value God places on small churches

Zealous to repent and invite Christ in

Serving others with deep, genuine affection

Serving those I have not seen face-to-face

Description: What if the reputation of your faith is stronger than the reality of it? It's possible to look spiritually alive on the outside while something deeper inside is quietly fading. Join us this Sunday as we wrestle with the uncomfortable but hopeful invitation of Jesus to wake up, refocus our hearts, and return to a faith that is truly alive.

Becoming dear to those that God cares for through me

Never elevating those with worldly status above those without it

Serving others from deep concern with all of my strength

Publicly bearing witnessed to the good done by those behind the scenes

Controlling my habitual cravings by seeking satisfaction in God

Persuaded to carry God's will through to the end

Mature enough to delight to do God's will

Description: The church of Thyatira was a church zealously committed to love and good deeds. Like many churches' of our day, they excelled in social justice, and serving as the hands and feet of Jesus, extending compassion toward those in need. Yet in time, their love grew without discernment, and in the name of tolerance they began to love the very things Jesus hates. In this message we'll examine what it looks like to be a church that is all love with no truth, and learn how we can guard ourselves from the current cultural temptation of doctrinal and moral compromise.

God using my prayers to make groups of people mature in Christ

Straining against anything that would keep me from praying for others as I should

Praying with a deep desire for the good of those for whom I pray

The desire to have my will enveloped in God's

The good that comes from greeting someone well

Words of soothing solace when others are irritated

Working in God's kingdom when those close to me disapproved

Description: Just as a tiny crack can spread and, ultimately, destroy a home's foundation, a small compromise can eventually decimate your faith. Today we take a closer look at the church of Pergamos – a church that once stood strong, but had been weakened by compromises that still impact us today.

Doing everything with in kingdom of God

Investing in others with the belief that they can change

The humility to admit when I'm wrong about people

Giving myself to serve the vision God's given someone else

God at work in me in a way that encourages others

Encouraging others to their very center

A life of abiding that encourages others

Description: None of us enjoys suffering; in fact, most people do everything they can to avoid it. What does God say about suffering that will be helpful for each of us when the inevitable comes our way?

Sharing with those who would be encouraged by how I am doing… really…

Sharing people I count on with others who need them

Wanting to obey wholeheartedly, the supreme ruler of the universe

Our wills being altogether consumed in God's

Becoming the kind of person who naturally runs errands

Becoming the kind of person that can be counted on

Longing to see those I serve with

Description: Being busy for God is not the same as being close to God. How can we find that closeness we so desire and maintain it in our current culture? 

Seeing and sharing the work of God with others

Seeing and sharing the work of God with others

Responding to the genuine need of people's souls

Speech that draws people to be curious about God's Kingdom!

Always speaking with goodwill

Experiencing God and advancing his kingdom in every opportunity
