Young Adult Pastor Gary Jones continues our series on Mark.Have you ever felt like you're just too inadequate to be used by God for anything significant? We often disqualify ourselves before we even begin. But what if our focus is in the wrong place?As followers of Jesus, he calls all of us to step out in faith to boldly proclaim his urgent message to a broken world. But our confidence is not in ourselves, because we may be flawed instruments, but we are in the hands of a perfect God.If you want to know practically how to follow Jesus and make him known even through challenges and opposition, this message is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 21, 2026, at 9:00am.

This week, the last in this series, we're reflecting on the promise of reward for faithful stewardship. Today, our theme is: A good steward weighs the eternal value of daily choices to maximise their investment in God's kingdom.

Good stewards of God's gifts understand that while their salvation is secure, their eternal rewards depend on how they faithfully invest the time, talents, and treasures He gives to them.

Good stewards of God's gifts understand that they are eternally secure because of the foundation of Christ, and they serve God from that unshakable position.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.Two people come to Jesus in Mark 5. A synagogue ruler whose daughter is dying. And a woman who's been sick for twelve years, who's tried everything, spent everything, and is getting worse.They couldn't be more different. One is powerful and named. The other is anonymous and desperate. But they both end up at the same place: on their knees, out of options, reaching toward Jesus.What's striking is that he doesn't respond to them the same way. One gets immediate healing. But the other has to wait through the worst moment of his life first.If you've ever prayed hard for something and felt like heaven was quiet, this one is worth your time.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 14, 2026, at 10:30am.

Erik continues our sermon series on 1 Peter, "Stand Firm In True Grace", with a sermon on 1 Peter 4:1-11. (June 14, 2026)

To celebrate Juneteenth we tell the story of plant biologist Beronda Montgomery. When she sat down to write what became a personal memoir mixed with a botanical history of African Americans, she found her research as a PhD lab scientist had brought her squarely into the world of social science as well. From her studies of how plants respond to light during photosynthesis, she started shining a light on the history of extensive plant cultivation by African Americans, including those who endured forced labor. She joins us to discuss her book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, Historyand America's Black Botanical Legacy.   Also, George Washington Carver was born into slavery but went on to become a famous agronomist and helped poor people in the South improve their lives and soils by planting peanuts and other legumes. This week, he comes back from the past in the form of actor and playwright Paxton Williams, who joins us as “George Washington Carver” to talk about the future of modern-day agriculture and intersections between racial dynamics and agricultural development. --   Music licensed from Blue Dot Sessions: sessions.blue Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a Derby day like no other. The favourite, Benvenuto Cellini, was beaten - then declared a non-runner twenty minutes later, voiding bets and triggering a major Rule 4. The decision has split punters, bookmakers and the sport's rule-makers. The panel digs into whether the stewards got it right and whether the rule itself is fit for purpose.Plus: the Jockey Club's free festival on the Hill, drowned by the weather; Aidan O'Brien's 50th British Classic and his son's Oaks; Bay City Roller's thrashing of the world's best, Calandagan; and the riding masterclasses on a day when nobody knew where the good ground was — led by Laura Pearson's remarkable return.

Adult Pastor Ron King continues our series on Mark.Have you ever read a passage of Scripture, or listened to a sermon and walked away feeling unchanged? It's easy to blame the communicator or the environment, but today, Jesus challenges us to look somewhere more uncomfortable: the soil of our own hearts.We often pray for God to change our circumstances, our families, or our financial stress. But often before Jesus calms the external storms in our lives, he wants to break up the hard, unplowed soil inside of us. Because God doesn't want our performance or our talent, but our tenderness. If you've been feeling distant from God, or like the worries of this world are starting to strangle your peace, this message is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 7, 2026, at 9:00am.

Framework: Pastor Casey breaks down the stewardship understanding of spiritual gifts in and for the church. 

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.From the very first chapter, Jesus offends everyone: the religious leaders, his own family, and strangers at lunch tables in rural Uganda. And that's because Jesus doesn't soften his claims or make his message easier for us to digest. And honestly? Part of us gets offended by that.And then there's another darker, stranger thread running through Mark: demons. These are spiritual forces that recognize Jesus before most humans do. They're working to replace the truth about God with lies that feel like our own thoughts.But in every single encounter, Jesus doesn't negotiate. Darkness just submits.The question Mark leaves us with isn't whether Jesus is powerful enough. It's whether we'll keep holding out, or finally surrender to the King that even demons obey.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 31, 2026, at 10:30am.

Framework: Pastor Casey unfolds how our resources are expected to be used and multiplied for God's work. 

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Mark.In Mark chapter 2, Jesus walks past a tax collector — one of the most despised men in town — and says two words: Follow me. No conditions. No get-his-act-together required. Just an invitation.Then Jesus goes to his house for dinner. And the religious leaders lose it.Jesus gravitates toward exactly the people everyone else avoids, which reveals the nature of the gospel: Jesus only heals people who know they're sick. Which means the real danger isn't being too far gone. It's thinking you're already fine.If you've been a Christian long enough to forget what it felt like to need saving, this message will challenge you. And if you're not sure Jesus would want anything to do with you, this one's for you, too.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 24, 2026, at 10:30am.

Framework: Pastor Casey Fritz breaks into the third section of our Framework series, calling us to steward our hearts and minds for the glory of God and the good of the church. 

Worship Director Justin Jackson kicks off our new 15-week journey through the Gospel of Mark.While all of the gospels are clear about who Jesus is, each one also has a unique perspective to offer. Mark puts emphasis on two massive pillars throughout the book: that Jesus is the authoritative Son of God, and that he is the ultimate servant king.Mark gives us a profound look at what it means to move from slaves to sons, as he shows how Jesus completely flips the worldly script on power. He demonstrates His authority not by demanding to be served but through serving, by touching the untouchable, healing the broken, and ultimately paying a ransom to free us from the master of sin.Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus looking for encouragement in your own areas of service, or you're just wondering who Jesus really is, this message is a beautiful reminder that you are deeply loved and seen by the King.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 17, 2026, at 9:30am.

Tom Logue - May 17th 2026 Jesus is not just part of life—He is the cornerstone holding everything together. In this message from Matthew 21, we continue through our series The King & His Kingdom as Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard owner—a sobering and powerful parable directed at the religious leaders who had rejected God's authority and refused to honor Him with what He entrusted to them. Jesus describes a landowner who plants a vineyard, entrusts it to tenant farmers, and sends servants to collect fruit from it. But instead of honoring the owner, the tenants reject, beat, and kill the servants—and eventually even kill the owner's son. Through this parable, Jesus exposes the failure of the religious leaders of Israel. God entrusted them with His people, His city, and His kingdom, but instead of stewarding those things faithfully, they used them for themselves. They rejected the prophets God sent to call them to repentance, and now they were rejecting the Son Himself. But this message doesn't stop with them—it confronts us too. At the center of this sermon is a deeply practical and challenging truth: we are stewards, not owners. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God—our bodies, our relationships, our time, our finances, our gifts, and even the message of the gospel itself. The question is not whether we have these things, but whether we are stewarding them in a way that honors the One they belong to. This message challenges us to take honest inventory of our lives. Are we stewarding our bodies well? Are our relationships healthy? Are we using our time wisely in light of eternity? Are we serving God with our money, or being mastered by it? And are we faithfully sharing the gospel that has the power to save and transform lives? The sermon also explores the biblical call to generosity and tithing—not as religious obligation alone, but as an act of worship and trust. Ultimately, Jesus is worthy not just of leftovers or percentages, but wholehearted devotion. Like Mary of Bethany breaking the alabaster jar at Jesus' feet, we are invited to become worshippers who “break the bottle” because Jesus gave everything for us. And at the center of it all stands Jesus Himself. Quoting Psalm 118, Jesus reveals that He is the cornerstone rejected by the builders. Remove the cornerstone, and everything falls apart. But when our lives are built upon Him, everything else finds its proper place.

Does God want your business to succeed? Does He care about your dream, calling, idea, finances, or the work you've put your hand to? In this video, Travis Peters shares a powerful biblical teaching for Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, creators, and believers who are trying to build something with God at the center. You'll learn why God is not leading you into failure, why He wants to teach you to profit, how to consult Him in your business decisions, and why success often comes when you obey the instructions He has already given you. This teaching is based on biblical principles from scriptures like 2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Psalm 32:8, Isaiah 48:17, Deuteronomy 28, Psalm 1:3, Jeremiah 17, James 1:5, 1 Peter 5:7, and John 15. If you're a Christian in business, building a dream, stepping into your calling, launching a ministry, starting a side hustle, or trying to move forward financially, this message will help you stop carrying the pressure and start partnering with God. God has wisdom for your next step. He has strategies for your business. He can lead you into the right channels, the right people, the right ideas, and the right opportunities. But you have to consult Him, obey Him, and move on the instructions He gives you. In this video, you'll learn: • Why God wants you to succeed in what He has called you to do • How to make God the leader of your business • Why Christians should ask God for wisdom in business • How to stop carrying financial pressure • Why obedience matters more than just praying for blessing • How God leads you into ideas, strategies, connections, and provision • What it means to cast your cares on the Lord as a steward • How to take your next step with faith and confidence If this helped you, subscribe for more Bible-based teaching on faith, finances, purpose, business, and living the increased life God has for you.

Today, we have three guest preachers bringing us the final word on our series through Jeremiah.This is the end of one of the heaviest books in the Bible. Forty years of warnings. Chance after chance. And a people who kept choosing Egypt over God — over and over — right up until there was nothing left.But here's the thing: we all have an Egypt. It's that place we run to when we think we know better. That voice we listen to instead of God.But this isn't just a story about destruction. It's a story about a God who keeps reaching. Who delivers on every promise. Both the hard ones and the beautiful ones. Who shows up after the catastrophe. Who says, I am not done with you.The first one will be from Jimmy Cleary, followed by Caleb Hunt, and finally by Austin Ray. It's three voices, but one message.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 10, 2026, at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am.

Our children are set to inherit a planet facing unprecedented environmental challenges. How do we ensure they meet those challenges with love rather than apathy? Host Alexandra Dutton sits down with Old Firehouse School educators Maylis Treuil and Liza Pevzner to explore how meaningful, hands-on projects can bridge the gap between kids and the great outdoors. Join us for a conversation on shifting the narrative from ownership to relationship, and learn how to foster a deep-rooted sense of responsibility that will turn today's children into tomorrow's lifelong stewards.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Jeremiah.There's a king, Zedekiah, who keeps showing up at God's door. Keeps asking the right questions. Keeps getting the right answers. But keeps walking away while doing nothing.Like Zedekiah, most of us know what we should do. We've gotten the advice, we've listened to the sermon, and we've felt the conviction. But there's a gap — a painful, familiar gap — between knowing and doing; between asking and acting.This message is about that gap, why we're afraid of the wrong things, and why, eventually, if we're not careful, we just stop asking altogether.But it also ends with the best news. Because Jesus is a better Zedekiah who took action by willingly surrendering everything for us.If there's an area of your life where you know what to do — and can't seem to do it — this one's for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on May 3, 2026, at 9:30am.

What if the key to living a truly godly life has nothing to do with trying harder—but everything to do with seeing clearly what God has already done? In Episode 3 of The Mystery of Godliness, Duane Sheriff teaches that living the Christian faith is not about rules and regulations… It is about who God is and what God has done for us. Godliness is not about rules, regulations, or what we can do for God, but rather about who God is and what He accomplished through Jesus Christ.A Christian's life flows from understanding the incarnation, the virgin birth, and Christ's substitutionary work on the cross. True transformation doesn't come from striving—but from seeing that God became man, lived among us, and took our place. This mystery was hidden from the powers of darkness but revealed to those who fear the Lord, and it becomes the foundation for true transformation. As stewards of God's mysteries, we are called to be faithful in understanding and sharing these divine secrets that hold the power to change lives.Discover how this mystery opens your eyes, renews your heart, and empowers you to live a life that reflects God—not by striving, but by believing.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-mystery-of-godliness/
