Shining Bright For Jesus in a Dark and Confused World | Pastor Derwin Anderson by Northland Church

Mission Through Education | Pastor Derwin Anderson by Northland Church

We�re kicking off our new sermon series by answering the question, �What is the mystery of Christ?� In this sermon, Pastor Derwin will show us how understanding this mystery helps us become who God has called us to be.

This week, we�re wrapping up our TC Welcomes series by welcoming Beth Moore! Beth is an author of multiple best-selling books and Bible studies, as well as a friend of Pastor Derwin and Vicki. She leads Living Proof Ministries in Houston, Texas with the purpose of encouraging and teaching women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture.

On Daily Faith, to help us deal with the matters of our hearts is Pastor Derwin Gray. He is the co-founder and Lead Pastor of Transformation Church, Indian Land, SC. Transformation Church is a multi-ethnic and multi-generational, community-driven church whose heart is to see the love of Jesus transforms lives and communities through His grace. Recently, with the racial division, social injustice, and lack of compassion plaguing America and our world, Pastor Derwin has been blessed to see beyond the social rifts of our society with eyes of understanding. By exposing the sinful nature of the world and sharing how the love of Jesus can bring social reconciliation, he has written a new book entitled, How To Heal Our Racial Divide. The world is crying out for attention and love; people want to be accepted and not criticized. Jesus came to expose sin, call our hearts to repentance, and be transformed by the living word of God.   This is not for self-gain, it's intended to share one another's burdens, and in doing so, we unite as one body for the Kingdom of God. When our vertical relationship with Jesus is intact, this enables our horizontal fellowship with others. You can start today by showing a true act of justice; loving your neighbor—the kind of justice we need to see in the world.   For more information about Transformation Church, you can visit www.transformationchurc.tc, and to get your copy of Pastor Derwin Gray's latest book, How To Heal Our Racial Divide, please visit www.howtohealourracialdivide.com.    The Orphans Hands is the heartbeat of our mission's work in Eastern Europe. We have a village of homes in Moldova and a house in Odessa, Ukraine. Our homes take in and care for the needs of those unwanted and deemed unworthy by their family and society. In Moldova, many children are forced out of their homes, abandoned, and alone, now orphaned with no place to call home. They grow up in an orphanage with no one to love them and share a hug. At the age of sixteen, they are kicked out of the orphanage, subject to the false hopes and lies of the human traffickers. Society doesn't care for them as they struggle to find their way amid the racial divide. The Orphans Hands homes share the love of Jesus, which enables them to discover hope and unity within the body of Christ. They are now sons and daughters, turned missionaries reaching beyond the world's grasp to help those in need. We are proud to announce that recently, a few of our kids have furthered their education amid the most challenging times of the Russian war on Ukraine, graduating with honors to become teachers, psychologists, and doctors. Our kids are ministering daily to the Ukrainian refugees with food, blankets, and Bibles with the love of Jesus.  To learn how you can help support the next convoy of supplies through the Orphans Hands ministry, please visit www.theorphashands.org.

This week, we�re excited to welcome Lysa TerKeurst! Lysa is the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several books, including Forgiving What You Can�t Forget, It�s Not Supposed to Be This Way, and more. She is a friend of Pastor Derwin and Vicki�s and has a passion for equipping women to study the Bible daily and teaching others with ministry dreams to write, teach, and lead.

Is God anti-science? In this sermon, Pastor Derwin walks us through scriptures and information from several scientists to help us understand that faith and science are not in competition but go hand in hand.

The Bible has sections that talk about slaves, but does that mean it condones slavery? In this sermon, Pastor Derwin will walk us through the context of these scriptures to show us that the Bible does not support slavery, but instead, promotes a family of oneness through the gospel.

Is Jesus really the only way to God? In this sermon, Pastor Derwin will walk us through scriptures that show us that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

What does the Bible say about women in ministry? In this sermon, Pastor Derwin walks us through several Bible verses that show us how Jesus valued women and that women are a gift to the body of Christ.

Culture is more than what we say�it�s how we live. In this sermon, Pastor Derwin and Vicki Gray will answer the question, �What is a color-blessed culture?� and teach us how we can implement it in our lives.

Pastor Derwin continues our series, It�s Time for Different, with a message about generosity. As Christ followers, financial generosity is an act of worship. When we experience the generous grace of God, we are moved to live generous lives.

Pastor Derwin walks us through what it means to approach all of life as worship. When we live fully devoted to Jesus, everything we do becomes worship. There is no secular versus sacred; everything is for the glory of God.

Pastor Derwin continues our It's Time for Different sermon series with a message on the importance of loving our neighbors. In this special anniversary sermon, Pastor Derwin reminds us that because our neighbors matter to God, they should matter to us. When we love others well, we show them the love of God.

Racial tension is at a high point. The embodiment of the Kingdom found in the New Testament and lived out through the Church was to be a vision of unity and diversity. The Church in America, unfortunately, has remained one of the most segregated organizations instead of being a vision for unity and diversity. Pastor Derwin Gray and Transformation Church is a shining light of how the Church can be the type of diverse community it was intended to be. Hear about Pastor Derwin's journey of planting Transformation Church, the challenges they faced from being a multiethnic church, and the steps any church can take to become a richer expression of the diverse Kingdom of God.

Pastor Derwin preaches a powerful message on the importance of loving ourselves correctly. Part of loving ourselves means having a true understanding of our identity. As Christ followers, we�re called to find our identity in Jesus rather than in the world.

The world doesn't want us to see ourselves how God sees us. Everything is working against us here. So how do we develop the holy habit of seeing what God sees? In this weekend's message, Pastor Derwin shares the ways you can develop holy habit in your life.

Pastor Derwin and Vicki Gray continue our sermon series, It's Time for Different, with a message on the importance of loving ourselves correctly. When we learn who we are in Christ, we learn to see ourselves as chosen and holy. Through this message, we will learn to regard ourselves in a healthy way.

Pastor Derwin preaches part two of a message on loving God. As we see in the story of the woman who anoints Jesus with expensive perfume, when we know we are forgiven, we grow in love for God.

Pastor Derwin kicks off our new sermon series, It's Time for Different, with a message on why Christ followers love God. Instead of using God and loving things, the gospel calls and empower us to love God and use things for God�s glory.

Pastor Derwin is continuing our God, Do You Hear Me? sermon series with a message on how Jesus is the bread of life. As the bread of life, Jesus is our provider, our breadwinner. He alone sustains us with his being.

Pastor Derwin continues our God, Do You Hear Me? sermon series with a message on what it means to be citizens of God�s Kingdom. Prayer is not making stuff up as we go along. Because we are citizens of God�s Kingdom, prayer is us reminding ourselves of what the Father has already accomplished in and through Jesus.

In episode 2 of Transforming the Church podcast, Pastor Derwin and Alexandra sit down with Jackie Hill Perry to talk about how prayer is both an invitation and a command. The Lord's Prayer is like a mini-catechism that shows us how we should pray and invites us to connect with the heart of our Father.

We all want to be happy. But what is true happiness? And how do we find it? In this episode of the Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast we are joined by our friend, Derwin Gray, the lead pastor of Transformation Church and author of The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness. Using Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount, Derwin helps us unpack three ways to find true happiness. You'll learn that the happiness you long for is found in becoming the person you were created to be. This “happiness” is not found in what we accomplish; it comes through what God is accomplishing in us to make our hearts like His. Happiness can be found daily, by sitting at Jesus' feet and listening and learning from Him. Related Resources: - Purchase Derwin's new book, The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness.  Here's what our president, Lysa TerKeurst, said about Derwin's book: "This book has the most solid teaching on happiness I've ever read.

This is wisdom I've personally seen Pastor Derwin live out both through these pages and in everyday life."  - Study Galatians: How Jesus Invites Us to Live Free with us in our free First 5 app.  -Sign-up for the FREE Hidden Potential Online Bible Study here.  -We want to get to know you better!
