May 11, 2025TOPIC: Show Me JesusVERSES: Philippians 2:5-11 PASTOR: Great Sea Initiative Ministry PartnerThis blessing is for the whole world and we need a vision to match. But who is up to such a task? Jesus sent us to the people of every region, language, and culture on the planet to bring the blessing he died to give. How do we do this? It will take a mindset like Jesus's. This week our ministry partner, the director for the Great Sea Initiative for Converge International Ministries will be sharing about the importance of being like Jesus. Because when they hear us talk they are going to say, "Show Me Jesus." #NorthRidge #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

Well, it's been a while, but Andy, Mike and Gregg are here to see what's up.

May 4, 2025TOPIC: Harvest TimeVERSES: John 4:27-38PASTOR: Ben McEachern, with church plant guest speakers, Kevin Drehmel, Harvest Church Pastor, Neil Eukel, Harvest City Church PastorThe harvest, in today's text, refers to a moment when people are ready to listen and they are gathered together around Jesus to receive the blessing. The model is Jesus. He went to a town, had a conversation with a woman, and gathered together those who would receive him. But the purpose of the harvest is to feed people. The gathered now feed. This week we hear from a couple church planters we are supporting, Kevin Drehmel (Harvest Church) and Neil Eukel (Harvest City Church). Maybe it's "Harvest Time?" #NorthRidge #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

April 27 - Driven by Love 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 Paul SchoolmeestersLove changes everything. It is the secret sauce of those who bring the blessing because it changes the way we view ourselves and the way we view the people we interact with. Today's text encourages us to think of ourselves as "Christ's ambassadors." It's only an experience of his love that will make us embrace that identity. Then we will be people "Driven by Love." #NorthRidge #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

April 20: My Lord - Easter SundayRomans 10:9-15 (Cp John 20:24-29) Ben McEachern, Lead PastorSpoiler Alert: He is Risen! Now what? So what? Can we believe it is true? If we can, then what do we do? How do we respond? Because if he is risen, then he is lord. Join us this Easter Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the dead and explore what it means to call him "My Lord." #NorthRidge #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

April 13 - Palm Sunday - The Legit LeaderJohn 12:12-33Ben McEachern, Lead PastorWho has the right to tell you what to do? What's your emotional reaction to that question? For most of us, following leaders is an optional thing. But a "Lord" is different than a leader. If Jesus is Lord, that demands a greater allegiance. Is he legit? Join us this Palm Sunday and let's see if Jesus is "The Legit Leader." #NorthRidge #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

April 6: Gritty ChurchJames 5:19-20Pastor Ben McEachernGod never meant for us to follow him alone. None of us has the grit all by ourselves. We need each other. It is too easy to get discouraged, distracted, or deceived. We are called to be a gritty Church. This Communion Sunday we not only celebrate our connection with Christ, but also the connection he has created between us. So as we recommit to follow him let us recommit to do so together. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

March 30, 2025TOPIC: Praying with GritVERSES: James 5:13-18PASTOR: Ben McEachernGrit and prayer go together. If you have grit in your relationship with Jesus it's because you are persistent in talking to him. What is more, your prayers are gritty. They are about the stuff of life, the good the bad and the ugly. In this penultimate teaching in this letter James lands the plane here, exhorting us to pray with grit. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

March 23: True GritJames 5:7-12Pastor Ben McEachernLife isn't like most sports where there is a clock you can watch and know how long until the game is over. Yet we are called to persevere with an eye to the return of Jesus. This will require true grit.

March 16, 2025TOPIC: Short-sightedVERSES: James 5:1-6PASTOR: Paul SchoolmeestersAt first blush this passage doesn't apply to most of us. After all, we aren't rich. It's a good warning for "those people." Actually the passage is for all of us. Materialism is not limited to one economic strata. It will take some grit but we all must begin to see whatever wealth we have as a responsibility or we will be short-sighted. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

March 9, 2025TOPIC: Living LedVERSES: James 4:13-17PREACHER: Ben McEachern, Lead PastorPlanning is a good thing. Planning is a necessary thing. The bigger the thing we are trying to do, the more planning is required. But how do we determine what the "thing" is that we plan to do? The "thing" matters. Followers of Jesus seek him for that "thing."

March 2, 2025TOPIC: Godly ConflictVERSES: James 4:1-12by Mike Stella, NorthRidge MemberConflict is inevitable. What will it take for us to be the peacemakers we talked about last week? As we are coming to expect, James' answer is that we have the grit to take a hard look inside. He shows us how to lean into to our relationship with God and put the conflict in his capable hands. This week we learn how to have Godly conflict. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

February 23, 2025TOPIC: Flip the ScriptVERSES: James 3:13-18PASTOR: Paul SchoolmeestersLast week we heard the warning about the negative power of our words. How do we flip the script and unleash a positive power? It has to do with the source of our words. Is our source earthly wisdom or heavenly wisdom? This week we learn what it looks like to draw from God's well of wisdom and bring real peace. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

February 16, 2025TOPIC: The Power of our WordsVERSES: James 3:1-12PASTOR: Ben McEachernCommunication is hard. Misunderstanding is easy. Speaking in ignorance is even easier. A casual comment can have many unintended consequences. Our words have power for good and evil. Respecting their potential for destruction is the first step in using them wisely.

February 9: Faith DoesJames2:14-26It's one thing to believe. It's another thing to do. Or is it? What if faith and action were more like friction and heat? Do the one and you get the other. What if action is the window to what we really believe? This week we see that faith does and learn what faith in Jesus acts like. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online:https://northridgefellowship.churchce...I'M SAYING YES TO JESUS!https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

February 2: Buck the Trend James 2:1-13 It's not the way the world works. But then we didn't come to Jesus so we could be the same. So let's do community different than the world. This really matters to God. It will take some grit on our part because old habits die hard. This week James calls us to buck the trend and be a community that acts like the Gospel. #grit #Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

December 8: Love We Can Share 1 John 4:14-21 (Micah 5:2) Love is hard. Sometimes it seems we can only love and be loved when the circumstances are just right. Love is really only for the loveable.

November 24: Do the Hard Stuff Numbers 13-14; Joshua 1 Even when you finally see the blessing and the unknown becomes known, faith is still required. Sometimes we can't picture ourselves in the place God promised. It seems too big, too hard, too difficult to attain. Yet it's what God promised. He's proven himself faithful. It's ours for the taking.

November 17: Breaking Faith Exodus 32:1-33:6 Today's story is one where it's easy to say, "What were they thinking, after all God has done for them?" That's what we always say with the benefit of hindsight. Truth is, it's easy to get distracted and find a substitute for a real relationship with God while keeping our religion.

November 10: A Way of Life Exodus 19:1-20:21 Living by faith will make you different than those around you. That's what God wants. You see, living by faith is not just about what you do. It's about who you are. Even better, it's about whose you are. Like a healthy marriage the commitment to live together with God in the covenant changes the way you live.

October 20: Drawing a Line Exodus 7:1-12:42 (11:7) Faith in God is always a response. To this point in the story God has not shown his hand to the people.

October 13: Discouragement Exodus 5:1-6:12 It's hard to fault the Israelites for complaining. Moses was supposed to deliver them but he just made life harder. This is normal. There are forces with a vested interest in keeping you where you are and you have no real idea what the new life could be. It takes faith to trust the promise when the circumstances are difficult.

October 6: Get Moving Exodus 4:18-31 It's the age old challenge. It's one thing to believe something can be done. It's another thing to commit yourself to do it. This is the challenge of faith. A lot of people believe in God, but trusting enough to obey and be part of what he is doing is more of a challenge. But it's the difference between having a little religion and a real relationship with God.

September 29: But Will You? Exodus 4:1-17 At some point we have to make a decision. God calls us forward. Yes, it's the unknown. There are many reasons not to follow, self-doubt, fear of the unknown, feelings of inadequacy. We naturally ask ourselves if we can do it. Truth is, we can't do what God asks.

This is a big question and the answer hangs on the nature of his character and his power. So much is unknown. Do you know him? Today, God calls Moses to an impossible task.

Well, it has been some time, hasn't it? Andy, Mike and Gregg are here after not being able to coordinate their schedules all Summer. Time to catch up and see what's happening.

August 18 – Who's Listening? by Dana Olson, Senior Pastor Faith Baptist Fellowship, Sioux Falls, SD Author of "Praying the King's Agenda: 21 Days of Focused Prayer" Luke 18:1-8 This week, we answer the call to the NorthRidge family to pray for the ministry season we are about to kick off in September. It is part of God's bigger story and I am asking you to pray like everything depends on it, because it does. But let's be honest, prayer doesn't always feel like it matters. In this week's parable, Jesus challenges us to keep praying by reminding us of who's listening. #Biggerstory#Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

August 11 - The Secret Sauce Luke 14:7-14 It's ironic how God's bigger story is lived most effectively by people who are okay with being small. Humility is the secret sauce of the kingdom of God. Humble people are free. This week's parable is a description of how humble people operate. Freed from the need of the affirmation of others, we can step more fully into God's story. As we enter week two of our 21 Days of Prayer, let us pray for this kind of attitude for our ministry together. #Biggerstory#Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

July 21 – Non-Negotiable, by Brax Carvette Mathew 18:21-35 Forgiveness is such a critical part of God's story. It makes God's bigger story bigger. In fact, you can't enter God's story without receiving it. Having received it, we tell the story by giving it. In this week's parable, Jesus talks about forgiveness. It's a non-negotiable. #Biggerstory#Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

July 14 – Uncomfortable Love, by Paul Schoolmeesters Luke 10:29-37 Love is one of those things that is easier said than done. The temptation is to reduce it to some humanly manageable proportion that seems reasonable to us. But the bigger story requires a bigger love. In this week's parable, Jesus pushes the boundaries of comfort with a story of true love. Are we willing to go there? #Biggerstory#Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...

June 30 – Trust the Process Matthew 13:24-43; Mark 4:26-29 (Mark 4:30-32; Luke 13:18-19) Sometimes we get impatient. Sometimes we want the victory now. But God is playing the long game. His bigger story is bigger than us and he knows exactly what he is doing. In this week's parables, Jesus uses seeds, weeds, and a little yeast to show us what God will do if we honor the process. #Biggerstory#Jesus#churchonline WELCOME PAD / MY RESPONSE -- Use this link to respond to the sermon, request prayer, or to give tithe/offerings online: https://northridgefellowship.churchce...
