Like the ancient texts in The Mummy, God's “backwards” truths become the key to real victory and transformation. 1. The Bible is not Boring — It's a Living Adventure The Bible is alive and powerful: “For the word of God is living and active…” (Hebrews 4:12). Features real stories of adventure and faith, such as David vs. Goliath, Paul's shipwreck, and the Resurrection. These are eyewitness accounts, not legends (2 Peter 1:16). 2. The Bible is not Bigoted — It's Radically Inclusive God's love is extended to every nation and people group. Women are empowered: Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla. Outsiders are welcomed: The Ethiopian eunuch receives the gospel (Acts 8). Scriptures: Galatians 3:28, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9 highlight inclusivity. 3. The Bible is not Backwards — But it is Backwards to the World God's wisdom often challenges worldly values. True success means honoring God above all else, as modeled by Jesus. “Backwards” actions: forgiving enemies, generosity, sacrificial living. Scriptures: Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 1:18 demonstrate the power and purpose in “backwards” living. Psalm 1:1–3: Those who delight in God's law are deeply rooted and blessed. The post Who Told You That? The Bible is Boring, Bigoted, & Backwards first appeared on Living Hope.

As we continue our Thailand25 series, many of you will remember Rey from Hong Kong and how God used him to see movement among Filipina maids. In this episode, Rey continues to share the journey of seeing movement in and from Hong Kong. In July 2022, Rey pioneered Discovery Obedience Bible Studies (DOBS) in Hong Kong parks with Pilipino maids. What began as one small step of faith has now grown into multiplying disciple-making communities (DMCs) in Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, and even Japan. Rey's obedience to the Holy Spirit has opened the door to multiplication down to third and fourth generations of disciples. His passion is clear: “We are not in the business of making believers but disciples.” You'll be encouraged as Rey explains how God is using simple obedience, a clear disciple-making vision, and a commitment to multiplication to bring transformation from Hong Kong to the nations. Highlights from Rey's Journey Early Exposure to Movements Since 2016, Rey was exposed to disciple-making movements through experiences in Israel, India, and Myanmar, which grew into a deep passion and became the focus of his Master's thesis in Hong Kong. From Pastor to Movement Pioneer His church in Hong Kong adopted DMM principles—but only as a growth strategy, not a true disciple-making movement. The spark eventually faded. 2022: Rey resigned from traditional church ministry, rejecting offers from large churches.  During quarantine, while fasting and praying, God's answer surprised him: not to join another church, but to start doing DMM himself. July 2, 2022: Rey launched the first DOBS group in a Hong Kong park. Multiplication Across Nations Hong Kong: Now 110 active disciples. 3 DMCs (up to 4th generation). 201 baptisms over the last three years—monthly beach baptisms with new believers. 20 women in training to become “DMM pastors,” preparing to return to the Philippines. Macau: 1 group, 8 active disciples, 3 disciple-makers. Philippines: Communities in the north, central, and the Muslim south (Mindanao). Over 100 active disciples in multiple generations. Japan (Yokosuka, near Tokyo): Filipina women reaching out to bar owners and families. Baptisms and new groups forming into a multiplying community. Disciple-Making Process Rey uses DOBS (Discovery Obedience Bible Studies): Discover, Obey, Bible, Share. He has developed different levels of scripture sets: Seekers – discovering Jesus. Disciples – going deeper. Leaders – training for multiplication. Vision & Tools Rey always gives the vision upfront: everyone is called to be a disciple-maker. He even draws people a simple path: Seeker → Believer → Disciple → Disciple-Maker → Leader. Anchors everything in key Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20 (Great Commission), Matthew 22:36-39 (Great Commandment), Acts 1:8 (Need for Holy Spirit to be witnesses) and 2 Timothy 2:2 (Multiplication of disciples). DBS format follows the 4Ws: Worship Watch (share stresses) Word (Head, Heart, Hands) Work (commitments & sharing). Why Listen? Rey's story is one of courage, obedience, and multiplication. From humble beginnings in a park in Hong Kong to movements multiplying in the Philippines and Japan, Rey's testimony challenges us to rethink church, embrace disciple-making, and trust God's Spirit to lead.

September 14th, 2025 David Comstock & Freddy Williams What if mission isn't something you do—but who you are?As part of our Good News series, Pastor David unpacks how Jesus calls us “the light of the world” and sends us into everyday spaces to bring the goodness of heaven to earth. Mission isn't reserved for a select few—it's the identity of every follower of Jesus.Discover what it means to live as a chosen people, a royal priesthood, sent to embody the love of Christ in a world desperate for hope.

Scriptures: Matthew 5:9, Psalm 34:8-14, Romans 12:17-21, 1 John 3:14-15, John 13:34Main Points:-How is PEACE attained?-Avoiding the work of peace is ungodly.-Grace-filled Compassion Purchases our Peace.-Our Love for Others Affects Our Eternity

After hearing of John the Baptist's death, Jesus withdrew by boat to be alone with the Father—but when the crowds followed, He stepped back into ministry with compassion. In the same way, when the world feels heavy and the week has been intense, God invites us to first draw near to Him, to be strengthened in His presence. From that place of renewal we can love in truth and stand firm against the enemy, ready to serve the people right in front of us. Scriptures: Matthew 14: 8-14 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Peter 5:9, Ephesians 6: 12-13, 18-20, Matthew 14:14

Scriptures: Matthew 5:8, 21-22, 27-28, 6:22-24, Psalm 24:3-6, Revelation 4Main Points:-Is purity unrealistic?-Idolatry and deceit corrupt the heart.-Anything I prioritize over God is an Idol.-The most beautiful views come at a cost.Idolatry Checkup:Am I making decisions about my finances based on God, or am I making decisions about God based on my finances?Am I making decisions about my life based on God or decisions about God based on my life?

Last week we uncovered the original narcissist—the father of lies, the enemy of our souls. He manipulates, gaslights, and deceives, but Jesus shows us a better way. In this message, Pastor John shares how to re-route your thinking when fear and selfishness threaten to take control. Discover how conflict often comes from our fear of not getting what we want or losing what we have, and how Jesus calls us to trust the Good Father instead of clinging to possessions, pride, or control. Through the story of Naboth's vineyard, the teachings of Jesus, and the promises of Romans 8, we learn how to live free from fear, stop reacting to threats, and walk in peace knowing nothing can separate us from God's love. Key Points: Conflict happens when selfishness collides. Fear of losing or not getting drives most of our struggles. Rerouting your thinking means choosing truth over fear. Trust the Good Father for justice, timing, and provision. Nothing—absolutely nothing—can separate us from the love of Christ. Scriptures: Matthew 5:40–42, 1 Kings 21, Romans 8:31–39, Matthew 16:24–26 If this message encourages you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to hear more teachings that help you build meaningful, lasting relationships God's way.

A sober, hope-filled call from crowds to commitment as Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22—“count the cost, and follow Jesus, because God is still on the throne.”God is still on the throne—even when life looks dark. Today Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22 (with Luke 9:57–62 and Mark 4:36) and asks: How committed are we when the crowds fade and the cost rises?

The overzealous charismatic community often embraces the law of attraction incantations, unintentionally and intentionally! Sadly, "decree and declare" statements are twisted, and many believe that speaking positive affirmations into existence can manifest desired outcomes. Is this practice truly biblical, or does it lead Christians down a dangerous path of deception? Let's examine and debunk the numerous misused Scriptures (Matthew 7:7-8, Mark 11:23-24, Job 22:28) that many fall for in the body of Christ.

"Before you head to the ends of the earth, head to the end of your street". Pastor Dave Niblock brings a message of encouragement on Nations Day at North Church.Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-19, Acts 1:8, Revelation 7:9

In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1–12, we unpack the real purpose behind John the Baptist's ministry—and how it demanded a radical shift in Israel's perspective. John wasn't just calling for personal reflection—he was announcing the soon arrival of YHWH and the literal, physical, Messianic Kingdom promised to Israel. This wasn't some vague Greco-Roman idea of an inner kingdom in the heart. It was a national, earthly reign just as the prophets foretold. John's baptism symbolized a public commitment to believe God's message and accept the Messiah when He appeared. It pointed forward to the cleansing and forgiveness God would offer through Jesus (cf. Ezekiel 36:25–27; Zechariah 13:1). Those who believed John's message were spiritually prepared for the coming of Christ. This sermon invites you to reconsider your own perspective. Are you seeing reality clearly—or through the wrong lens?

We'll also talk about the powerful trade-offs behind every no, the social pressure that comes with setting boundaries, and how to know when a no is the right call. This episode is a gentle but clear reminder: every no is a yes to something else.

February 1 & 2, 2025  - Pastor Lee Strobel Prayer for spiritual seekers: “God, open my eyes to who you really are, and then I'll open my life to you.” Prayer for Christians: “God, here I am, fully submitted to you; use me as you have never used me before.” Scriptures: Matthew 16:25, 1 John 5:3, Mark 1:15, Psalm 32:3-5, Romans 5:8, Hebrews 11:6, Jeremiah 29:13, 1 Peter 4:10-11 Topics: Faith, Forgiveness, Honesty

Welcome to today's episode! As followers of Christ, we're all called to live out the Great Commission, and we do so because His love compels us to limit our liberty and preferences.

In this sermon, we kick off 2025 by focusing on the theme of "celebrate" and the importance of staying true to our church's mission and vision. Drawing parallels from the Apollo 13 mission, the sermon emphasizes the necessity of keeping our eyes on the right focus to avoid drifting off course. We explore the biblical foundation of the church, as Jesus first mentioned it in Matthew 16, and discuss the significance of being an assembly of believers on a shared mission. The sermon challenges us to be active participants in the Great Commission, making disciples and living on mission with Jesus. As we celebrate our church's 60th anniversary, we are called to unite in purpose, grow in our faith, and help others find and follow Jesus. Join us as we commit to being a church that thrives on mission and impacts our community for Christ.
