Guest Speaker Rachael Wade kicked off our new Year of Prayer teaching series: Spirit Teach Us To Pray. Throughout Scripture, we see that it’s the Holy Spirit who awakens our hunger for God, often through desperation and discipleship. This message reminds us that our desire for a deeper prayer life doesn’t come from self discipline or participation in the Christian life alone, but from the Spirit stirring our hearts longing to commune with our Father in every circumstance.

This Sunday, Guest Speaker Lee Coate continued our series through Jesus’ prayer life by exploring the spiritual discipline of prioritizing the private place. Throughout the New Testament, we see Jesus treated the hidden place as a source of strength for His ministry in the public space. It’s a place where sight is restored and sensitivity to God’s presence and movement is renewed. 

This Sunday Pastor Rob preaches from Mark 9:14-29 where we see Jesus heal a demon-possessed boy and inviting a desperate father into honest prayer: “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!” When our need for control ends, real prayer begins. This week’s message reminds us that when prayer is all you have left, you’ll find, it’s all you need. 

This Sunday Pastor Rob preaches from Matthew 26 where we see Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane moments before he was arrested and crucified. This week’s message challenges us to keep praying when God doesn’t seem to answer you or outright says “no.” 

As we continue our series, “The Prayer Life of Jesus,” Pastor Rob preaches from Matthew 4, exploring how fasting, modeled by Jesus, can strengthen our prayer lives. This week’s message unpacks how to resist the devil’s temptations and offers practical, sustainable ways to incorporate fasting into our rhythms of life. 

We’re studying “The Prayer Life of Jesus” because Jesus not only taught a framework for prayer called the Lord’s Prayer, but he modeled it. This Sunday, Pastor Rob unpacked the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in John 17, revealing Jesus’ heart for his disciples and the church our world desperately needs.

What are your new year’s resolutions? Guest Pastor and friend of New North, Eugene Cho kicked off our new series “The Prayer Life of Jesus” and shared how the discipline of solitude is vital to our prayer life, yet it’s not often added as a goal in life. We live in a very counter cultural world where many things are competing for our attention and vying for our affection and adoration - making slowing down and making space for God something very hard to put in practice. Solitude and Sabbath are gifts from God and something Jesus, even the Son of God needed too! This week, watch Eugene’s message for tips on building solitude into our life’s rhythm. 

We are so glad you’ve joined New North Church for service today! Pastor Rob Hall concludes our Let Earth Receive Her King Series on Christmas Eve. 

Pastor Rob continues our Advent Series Let Earth Receive Her King and focused on the Magi. These nativity characters remind us that true worship begins when we receive God’s love in Jesus and respond with our very best. This Christmas, we each have a choice: be consumers or worshippers. Are we truly seeking to worship God or just a spiritual pick-me-up? 

Pastor Rob continues our Advent series, Let Earth Receive Her King, by pointing us to the shepherds and the joy they received at Jesus’ birth. God chose to announce the good news to shepherds first—outsiders who often went overlooked—to show that His joy is for all people.

This Christmas season, we’re invited to receive that same joy: make room for Jesus, embrace the good news, share His joy with others, and ask God to fill you with joy anew.
