Series: The Kingdom Prayer August 13, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel C. Hunter Just like there is no “I” in team, there is no “I” in prayer. When Jesus taught us to pray, He taught us to think of everyone. He also made sure our focus was on Him - we all get closer by having the same focus. When we pray in this way, we begin to realize that what God has for us is so much better than what we have for ourselves. Sermon text: Matthew 6:9, 11-13 Scriptures referenced: John 20:17, Romans 8:15, Matthew 7:9-11, Romans 8:29, Ephesians 3:14-16

Finding Direction Through the Lord’s Prayer: A Pattern In a Prayer Series: The Kingdom Prayer August 6, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel C. Hunter The character of God is to take what is spiritual and manifest it into the physical. A prayer should ultimately result in something that you see - something that changes your life. Christ has given us this pattern to pray, not only for our own understanding, but for our behavior and lifestyle. Sermon text: Matthew 6:9 Scriptures referenced: John 1:14, I Corinthians 2:4, James 4:8, Mark 1:14-15

Series: The Parables of Jesus July 30, 2017 Sermon with Pastor Reggie White We all want to be right. The desire is deeply embedded in us, but how can we be right with God? In this parable, we are reminded that instead of seeking God's righteousness, we often go about seeking self righteousness. Will we insist on making ourselves right or will we allow God to make us right? Sermon text: Luke 18:9-14 Scriptures referenced: Luke 11:42, Romans 10:1-3

The Talents - Chad Turnbull by Northland Church

Series: The Parables of Jesus July 16, 2017 Sermon with Chad Turnbull We live in a world where we think our possessions are our life and our life is our possessions. In this parable we are reminded that having riches is not the problem. Moreover, the misunderstanding of why we have what we have is where our greed begins. Chad reminds us that we aren't just #blessed, we are #blessedtobeablessing. So the question is: are you going to be separated from your stuff because of your death or your generosity? Sermon text: Luke 12:13-21 Scriptures referenced: Luke 12:24, Psalm 36:5-6, Luke 12:33a, Luke 12:33-34

The Great Banquet Series: The Parables of Jesus July 9, 2017 Sermon with Pastor Matt Heard Is the gospel something that nourishes you on a daily basis? Pastor Matt reminds us that the Gospel is a feast, a daily feast. We all receive this invitation of the Gospel, but far too often we don’t actually think it is enough, so we reject the invitation. Sermon text: Luke 14:15-24 Scriptures referenced: Luke 14, Jeremiah 2:13, Jeremiah 2:25, Psalm 63:1-5, Philippians 3:7-9, 1 Peter 5:5-7, Isaiah 57:15, Luke 1:53, Colossians 3:17, Matthew 13:22, 1 Timothy 6:6, 1 Timothy 6:17, Isaiah 55:1-3

The Workers In The Vineyard Series: The Parables of Jesus July 2, 2017 Sermon with Pastor Matt Heard We all long to have lives of significance, lives that matter, but if we seek that significance outside of His instruction and authority we come up short. Often times we end up comparing ourselves to others instead of seeking significance in Christ - the only place it can truly be found. Sermon text: Matthew 20:1-16 Scriptures referenced: Philippians 3:7-9, Ephesians 1:4-8, Matthew 19:27, John 21:20-22, Philippians 4:11-13, Philippians 4:19, Romans 8:1, Galatians 3:26, Luke 12:16-21, 2 Corinthians 9:11, 1 Peter 4:10, 1 Corinthians 3:6-15

The Wise Builder Series: The Parables of Jesus June 25, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel Hunter This parable sums up the Gospel perfectly. The Gospel is a life to be lived, not merely words to be understood. In today's culture it's easy to get caught up in what Pastor Joel refers to as: ""sinking sand territory"" – where our current situations and questions minimize our faith. However, we have something more solid than what our culture clings to – we have Christ, the Rock of our salvation. What are you building your life on? Sermon text: Matthew 7:24-27 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 7:21, James 2:24, II Timothy 3:7, Ephesians 4:13-14, Matthew 6:10, John 3:16, I Corinthians 3:11, I Peter 2:21, Hebrews 13:8

Series: The Parables of Jesus June 18, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel C. Hunter In the parable of the sower, we are reminded that the immediate win or loss is not nearly as important as what grows over time. We have no way of knowing where the seeds we plant will take root, so we are to sow everywhere. God gives us these great gifts of the Gospel so we can seek out those who need what we have to offer. Sermon text: Luke 8:4-15 Scriptures referenced: Luke 8:4-15, Matthew 18:3, John 10:10, John 6:66, Matthew 5:10, Luke 14:18, Matthew 13:30 As Seen In Worship: “The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands as the cradle of true art and true science [and true faith] He who knows it not...is as good as dead...” – Albert Einstein, The World as I See It

Series: The Parables of Jesus June 11, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel Hunter In the parable of the lost sheep, we are reminded that Jesus cares more for the one than He does for the ninety-nine. Likewise, we are to go after the one who is lost because we could be that one who is lost someday. Are we going to do what makes us feel safe and comfortable or are we going to do what makes us more like Jesus? Sermon text: Luke 15:1-7 Scriptures referenced: Luke 19:10, 1 Corinthians 5:9-11, Luke 7:34, Isaiah 53:6, Luke 14:18, 21, Matthew 28:19

Series: The Parables of Jesus June 5, 2017 Sermon with Pastor Pete Geiger

Series: The Parables of Jesus May 28, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel C. Hunter How can we understand the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom can be difficult to grasp because it can seem different from our day-to-day way of life. Yet at the same time, we know the Kingdom is intertwined with our everyday existence. That’s why we need a teaching that is rooted in the issues of our day-to-day lives that cuts through our currently held perspective. What we need is a story. Sermon text: Mark 4:33-34 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 13:34-35, Matthew 13:44, Psalm 78:2

Series: On the Road May 7, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel C. Hunter There’s no comfortable or easy way to get to maturity. We are reminded in this passage that Jesus interrupts us so that we can be reminded of the bigger picture instead of our present circumstances. Whenever we think, “I don’t need this”, evidently God thinks otherwise. Pastor Joel reminds us that what we may perceive as an attack, is a rescue.

Series: On The Road April 30, 2017 Sermon with Pastor Matt Heard Jesus came into the world not only to save but to engage with our fallenness. When we find ourselves dealing with disappointment, His power wrestles it to the ground and wins with beauty. Our God is the Redeemer who works all things out for the good of those who love Him. So instead of always changing our circumstances, He equips us to live in the Way, Truth and Life.

Series: The King Returns April 23, 2017 Sermon with Dr. Joel Hunter The resurrection of Jesus allows us to grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord.
