Northridge Church

Have you ever looked at another person and thought, “I wouldn’t spend my money that way”? The way we choose to live our lives is often different from others. We wouldn’t spend our time, attention, or money the same way. But what should our lives look like? If we follow Jesus, sometimes our lives shouldn’t make sense to others. In this message, we’ll explore what an overflowing life should look like.

I will be content when… I find the right person to love me, when I have kids, when I get a house, when I get a good job, when I finally have a good car, when I am done with school, when I don’t have any more debt, when my investments are enough to retire, when I am healthy. Is it possible to be content without these things? In week 2 of our series Overflow, we will meditate on Psalm 23 and examine what leads our hearts from empty to overflowing. What is the secret of contentment? Join us as we consider the answer.

God’s generosity in our life should overflow into a life of generosity. But what if you struggle to see God’s generosity? Maybe it feels like all that God has given you is hardship, pain, and struggle. What if you can barely pay the bills? In this message, we’ll explore the extravagant generosity of God, to reawaken our hearts from pessimism and apathy, to overflowing love.

As Israel walked out of Egypt, their past would soon hunt them down. Pharoah set out to recapture the Israelites. They were trapped between a river and their oppressors. They were trapped behind an uncrossable barrier and their past coming to reenslave them. 3,500 years later, we face the same predicament. When our future feels impossible and our past is running us down, who will deliver us? Join us for the last week of our series, “The Deliverer”, as we look to the only one who can save us.

In part 5 of our series, The Deliverer, we’ll see the pride and power of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the hardness of heart that led him to reject God. But it was through Pharoah’s rejection of God that God would reveal His power and His grace. What will it take for God to get your attention? What will it take for you to stop rejecting God and see His power and embrace His love? Will you harden your heart or believe?

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “God can’t use me?” Have your dreams been dashed by disappointments or personal failures? Have your ambitions died? Do you find yourself just seeking to do your job, pay your bills, and try to find some peace and quiet? In week 4 of our series “The Deliverer”, we’ll look at the call of Moses and the excuses he made for why God couldn’t use him. Can God still use you?

What do you do when life has not turned out how you had hoped, or according to your plans? Whether it is a broken relationship, a lost job, a personal failure, or a life altering change. When your future is uncertain and you feel lost, there is a lot we can learn from the life of Moses. In this sermon, we’ll explore Moses' first journey through the wilderness and what God may be teaching us in ours.

Have you ever seen someone with a good desire make a hasty decision? They want to fix what is broken, but instead, they make it worse? Have you ever longed to see someone change for the better, but in your impatience, you pushed them away? As we explore the life of Moses through the pages of Scripture, we’ll learn how to pursue our good desires with God’s timing and His wisdom instead of our own.

Has God forgotten us? Does He even exist? When life hurts, when it feels like nothing is going right, these are the questions that come to mind. We pray for God to rescue us, to change our circumstances, to take the pain away, to fix what is broken, to heal our hurts, but often it feels like God is doing nothing. As we begin week 1 of our series “The Deliverer”, we’ll learn about the birth of Moses, and glimpse what God may be doing, even when we don’t see it.

When we examine the course of history, the stories retold on the screen, in our classrooms, on our podcasts, in our books, and in our very own lives, recount loss, pain, hardship, war, destruction, and failure. Our world is marred and broken. Life is often defined by defeat. But history was redefined by one earth-shaking Sunday 2,000 years ago. As we wrap up this series “4-Days” we will look at the story of Jesus' victory over death on the Sunday after His crucifixion, what it meant for those who first followed Him then, and what it means for us today.
