Northridge Church

We've all seen the posts: one more person in the world who needs food; one more group that needs money; another person lost their job; yet another terrible diagnosis. How are we supposed to handle all of these difficult situations and truly help? Social Media has raised our awareness of problems, but hasn't necessarily raised our desire to act. Yet, when we look at the example of Jesus, we see what true compassion is and how we can make an impact that solves people's greatest needs.

Technology is supposed to save us time, yet we seem to have even less time for the things in life that matter most when it comes to relationships. You may miss out on what someone says on your phone, but what you should really be afraid of is missing out on the person in front of you.

Authenticity is not a Social Media problem. It's a human problem. The more we show others the me we want them to see, the more difficult it becomes to be authentic.

Spending a lot of time online can make it easy for us to begin comparing our behind the scenes footage to someone else’s highlight reel. All of a sudden the Fear Of Missing Out can take over and we find ourselves the victims of constant comparison and unable to be content. This is nothing new, and in this message we will start at the beginning, understand how we got here, and learn how the Cross kills comparison and gives life to Contentment.

Jesus was described as being both full of grace and full of truth. If we are full of one and empty of the other we end up perverting both. In this message David talks about the need to be both full of grace and truth and what the looks like in our everyday worlds.
