Fully Alive: The Official Podcast of Northland Church

God wants us to rest and recover so that we can be renewed and restored. Without rest and recovery, we will not be able to go the distance in our Christian faith. We rest and recover as we adopt God's rhythm of rest, accept times of slowing down and practice times of spiritual breathing. As we rest and recover we can run the race set before us with perseverance. 

As believers, we will have pain and suffering, but through it all God provides encouragement, comfort and peace. Our faith in God enables us to fight the pain and suffering allowing it to forge our faith, strengthen our salvation and produce perseverance in our Christian walk. Our pain and suffering provide missional opportunities for us to share the Good News of the Gospel with neighbors and nations.

The church must diligently invest in and bless the next generation of the church. The next generation is a vital part of the church today as well as the future of the church. Each believer must spend time caring for and loving the next generation. We, as the church, must support the next generation so they can be successful in the purpose and plan God has called them as they are a part of His Kingdom.

As believers, we are called to live a disciplined life moving toward the goal of knowing Jesus, becoming more like Jesus, and being present with Jesus. Going the long distance, as a believer of King Jesus, is accomplished as we train and develop behaviors persistently over time.

In sports, a player who faces the opponent alone is a player who is destined to lose. The same can be said of the Christian life. If you want to have the faith that goes the distance, you need to be tethered to a body going towards God's final destination.

As we live the Christian life, the ability to endure begins with what you hear with your ears, understand with your mind, and receive with your heart.

Only God knows when the time will be for His mission on earth to be accomplished. In the meantime, each of us is called to be Jesus' witnesses and share the Gospel redeeming a people from all peoples by engaging neighbors and nations to be fully alive in King Jesus through the power of the Spirit.

The church is a called out assembly or congregation which is made for mission and to manifest God’s Kingdom here on earth through the power of the Holy Spirit. Discipleship is the redemptive power of learning what it means to be human after the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.
