Northside Church - Sydney

What makes authentic Christians attractive to the world around them? Crazy Love. A life that in love, gives away. Now before you reach for your wallet – it’s possible you’re thinking too thinly about what generosity is. It’s more than money – it goes beyond that. For the next 3 weeks we’ll explore the dynamic where things of value just overflow from your life.

Following Jesus one step at a time inevitably involves encountering and moving through resistance. Listen in as we discover how to identify and move through the resistances we face in following Jesus.

Jesus invites you to follow him! In this new series we explore what following Jesus actually means for our lives. In particular, how do we follow him when life has got us all seized up through fears? What if all it took was a series of baby steps?

If we're not careful, rest can become one of the things we yearn for the most but experience the least! Tune in as we discover how God can lead us into lives of deep rest from which we can experience the full, rich lives we were created for.

Graeme Anderson, Lead Pastor at Northside Baptist, shares about having a life-shaping encounter with Jesus on a powerful night as three churches in Crows Nest gathered together: Northside Baptist, Lighthouse Church and Northside Community Church, with Soul Survivor leading worship.

Forgiveness. It's one of the biggest themes of Christianity because it's one of the biggest themes of life! Keith Farmer shares how we can we move forward in our lives free from both guilt and grudges.

On 23 September, Northside stood with over 5,000 churches around the world to see the reality of modern day slavery, understand God’s heart for justice and join the global movement to end slavery. We were deeply moved by a fresh look at the story of Joseph in the Bible, his experience of slavery and God’s heart and commitment to do something about it.

It’s at the heart of what we do. We don’t do church. We are making disciples who make disciples. In other words, we just want to equip healthy followers of Jesus.

We want to be the sort of church that if we left our community, those around us would miss us. You only have to look at this clever story from Jesus, to understand some simple and practical steps to meet the needs of those around you.

As we dive into God’s word we'll uncover the driving force behind our church's past, present and future directions.

On our first Sunday as one church in two locations we kicked off this new series, We Are, looking at who we want to be as a church. First up, we don’t have all the answers, but we’ll point you to the one who does.

Uber. Airbnb. Spotify. You don’t have to look far to find examples of industry disrupters in our society. You don’t have to read far in the Bible to see that God is also a disrupter. The question is: are we disruptible?

The God of Christianity is one who is dependable because his nature is constant. Does that mean he rejects change? On the contrary: he not only embraces it but instigates it! What might it look like for us to be a people who are willing to step into change with him, while being stabilised by his unchanging character?

Imagine a group of friends try to start a business. Instead of playing to their strengths they compare themselves to each other. Effective? Not so much. What if each member of our church community played the unique part God has given them, so that together we create a symphony so beautiful it resounds throughout our city?

Every minute you spend comparing yourself to someone else is a minute you waste fulfilling your God-given potential. Could it be that God has entrusted more to you than you realise, and that what you have is less important than what you do with what you have?

We all look to something or someone to find out who we are and whether we are enough. What or who is your mirror, and how is it shaping your life and contribution to the world?

"If you want to matter, you have to be better." Sound familiar? It's easy to find ourselves exhausted from judging our value on whether we are "higher" or "lower" than others on the various ladders we climb. What if we could be free of the comparison trap?

Many of us want to have lives of impact, but so often find ourselves held back despite having the best intentions. How can we step forward to put our intentions into action and make a lasting difference in the world around us?
