2009: The Year Of Fruit-Bearing

2009: The Year Of Fruit-Bearing

January 4, 2009

The very first commission man received from God had to do with FRUIT-BEARING. God commanded man to be "FRUITFUL," populating the earth with a race of beings who would love, worship and glorify Him (Gen. 1:28). That has always been God's intention. That's why the very last commission Jesus gave His followers was essentially the very same command. Jesus said, "I have…ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your fruit should remain" (John 15:16; Matt. 28:19-20).

What On Earth Is Going On?

What On Earth Is Going On?

October 12, 2008 - December 21, 2008

9/11…That date is indelibly etched in our memory. Frightfully so! Terrorists struck America. We were shook to our core. Our country changed forever. People wondered "Is this the beginning of the end?"

Fast forward seven years. It is now 2008. We are more fragile than ever. The threat of terror is worldwide. Oil is now a weapon. Nations are aligning in a pecular fashion. GPS satellite systems, bio-chemical and nuclear weapons, instant, worldwide communications…They all beg the question, "Are we headed for something really bad?"

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

This service is specifically designed to bring each of us into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ for a time of meaningful fellowship (or, communion) with Him through the vehicle of our THANKS. As we anticipate eating the Bread, prepare to express the gratitude of your heart by saying, "Thank You, Lord,  for WHO YOU ARE." As we anticipate drinking the Cup, prepare to express the gratitude of your heart by saying, "Thank You, Lord, for WHAT YOU'VE DONE."

And as always, prepare yourself according to the admonition given in 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.

Man! I feel like a woman!: A Portrait of the Bride of Christ

September 21, 2008 - October 5, 2008

Sure, the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31 makes a great theme for preaching a Mother’s Day sermon or teaching a women’s Bible study. But, there’s more to this familiar passage than first meets the eye!

Your Reasonable Service

Your Reasonable Service

August 10, 2008 - September 14, 2008

Now that you have become a recipient of God's glorious salvation through the merciful sacrifice of His Son, is there anything He could ask of you that could possibly be beyond "your reasonable service?"

Through this six-part series based in Romans 12:1, we are asking God to reveal to you and to every other person in the Northwest body, how to use your S.H.A.P.E. to carry out "your reasonable service" to Christ in the next 12 months.

As the Apostle Paul begins the letter to the Hebrews, he sets out to describe the One who is…well, indescribable! It is hard to imagine what words could possibly be used to more adequately convey the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ than those the Holy Spirit gave to Paul in Hebrews 1:1-3…

  • He is the brightness of the Father’s glory
  • He is the express image of the Father’s person
  • He upholds all things by the word of His power
  • He single-handedly purged our sins
  • He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high!

Living In The Light of Eternity

February 24, 2008 - April 13, 2008

In the very near future, we will all stand before our Lord and Savior at what the Bible calls the Judgment Seat of Christ. This will be the "ultimate accounting" of the stewardship of our lives. We will see our lives THEN, the way the Lord Jesus Christ sees them NOW. This series is designed to provide the biblical instruction and motivation we need to be "Living In The Light of Eternity!"

Evidence That Demands A Verdict

Evidence That Demands A Verdict

March 23, 2008

The entire Christian faith hinges upon one event…the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Remove the resurrection and even the Bible itself says our preaching and our faith is in vain, and Christians, above all people, are the most miserable! (1 Corinthians 15:14, 19) Why? Because we built our entire lives upon a lie—a false hope.

The Bible says, however, that the resurrection is a fact verified by "many infallible proofs." (Acts 1:3) Join us in this message as we explore the "Evidence That Demands A Verdict."
