North Way Sermons

It seems that our world is so divided today. Life events are causing many arguments and anger. Within in the last year or so, have you made anger a priority in your life without even realizing it? Have you been placing the important things, that truly matter, aside? It’s easy to fall into the same pattern. When that pattern starts to become reckless, it must be broken.

Where have you placed Jesus in all of this? Have you set Him aside too? In this sermon, we learn how important it is to place Jesus at the center of our lives.

When all is lost and you feel like you’re stuck, do you want to be remembered as a person of hope? Or do you want to be remembered as a person who was broken and full of anger?

In this last sermon series of the story of Joseph, we are reminded that God was with Joseph through all his hard times. Joseph was the person who was remembered for his hope.

What does it mean to be free? Not the typical definition but truly free? So much of who you are comes from the pressures of the world. Society, friends, family and even the church can tell you how to be. When you try to live up to those “expectations” are you really, truly free to be who God made you to be? How you escape these pressures lies solely in your relationship with Jesus, relying on Him and Him alone to maintain your true, God-given, freedom.

2020 was a lot like an escape room, everyone's goal is just to "get out". Let's be honest, almost all of us just wanted it to be over. The bible has a really unique word for what we've been through… life.

The words of Jesus about tribulation in the world are as true today as they were 2000 years ago. Is there a way for us to find our way out? To make sure 2021 doesn't look like 2020? The short answer is: no. We still live in a fallen world. But, if you're familiar with the scriptures, you know that it's not about escapism, it's about learning how to navigate through the highs, lows and everything in between.

In the bible, the scriptures that refer to Jesus' early years are often referred to as the "infancy narratives." They're very familiar to almost everyone as the Christmas story. Today, Pastor Scott Stevens will be digging into one of the narratives that is not typically preached about. In fact, this is the first time he will be preaching on this text.

You're invited to join with us as we turn a bit from Christmas and start looking toward the new year and explore these three movements:

1. Are there issues in your life where you possibly need to open up your mind to change your mind?

2. Is there something that God has been tugging at your hear to explore? But you keep putting it off?

3. What MUST you do in 2021? It's time to do it.

These are still trying times and in the end, the only fear we want to have is the fear of God. If we’re going to be the church God calls us to be, sometimes we have to do things we do not want to do.

At North Way, we let God lead.

We all have experienced different traumas in our lives, and we do so vividly! It’s human nature. Can you imagine how we’re going to remember 2020?

Currently we’re dealing with four simultaneous traumas: political, racial, financial and health. The question is, how can we all survive this? How can we actually thrive in this time?

Trauma causes us to act in ways we do not typically act. We’re experiencing fear, anger, frustration and world of other emotions. However, we CAN survive!

This can and will have an impact on future generations. There are grand stakes at play.

Trauma doesn’t have to be devastating.

Jesus’ story shows us this. We have to be willing to look and see what he did and to follow in his footsteps. He knew what was going to happen to him and willingly did it anyway. He did it because He loves us.

2020 isn’t over yet. We don’t have to be devastated.

"The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." - Philippians 4:5b-6

During North Way's first ever LIVE service broadcast, Lead Pastor Dave D'Angelo brings a message of calming, hope and peace in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

When we fix our eyes on Jesus, moments become smaller.

When does belief become real? Is it when we say we believe or when our belief begins to impact the way we behave?

“So give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be that the Lord will be with me, now and I shall drive them out just as the Lord said.” Joshua 14:12

These words were spoken by an 85-year-old, a battle-tested and battle-ready Old Testament icon—Caleb. As we move into 2018 as individuals and as a church, let’s check to see if we have that same fire. Do we share Caleb’s passion? North Way, it’s a New Year with a new location, new services, and new service times. Join us January 6 & 7 as we seek this new “hill country” together.
