Northridge Vineyard Church

We were made in the image and likeness of God to be His image bearers in this world. Satan, from the very beginning, has attacked our identity and tried to stop us from walking in the identity that God created us for. We believe that as we encounter the Father’s love, He calls us back to that identity in Jesus as His children, chosen, holy and dearly loved. 

Now and Not Yet - holding on to ‘expectation’ in the tension

We also know that we live in a time when the Kingdom has come (now), but will not come fully (not yet), until Christ returns.

But how can the Kingdom be both now and not yet? And what does this mean in practice?

What is the fullness of the Kingdom - and what does it look like for us to pursue this?

As a church we want to help people discover their identity in Christ, and their God-given humanity be restored through God’s healing transformation. 

Bonnie kicked off our new series and sharing on Pursuing Jesus and the fullness of His Kingdom.

Bec Gelding wrapped up our series on The Promise of the Messiah, sharing on The Messiah who would suffer and rise again. Bec took us through a few of the clues in the old testament pointing to what was to come, in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, , as God wants to invite us to experience and re-experience His word so that we can find those clues for ourselves too.

Ben wrapped up our The Promise of the Messiah, focusing not only on what that promise is, but also what that promise means.

Rob continued The Promise of the Messiah series, as we continue to lay important foundations, what we are confident in. It has been good to be reminding ourselves of what the promise of the scriptures is regarding the messiah, regarding the anointed King that was promised.

Rob took us through Psalm 2, looking at small chunks that link to so much of what the New Testament is talking about.

Anna kicked off our new series The Promise of the Messiah, sharing on What does it look like to have confidence that God Reigns.

Anna continued our The promise of the Messiah series, sharing on what it looks like to have confidence in the rule and reign of God.

Our God Reigns was and is a proclamation that God's people declared throughout the old testament.

Anna kicked off our new series, The Promise of the Messiah. What does it mean to proclaim OUR GOD REIGNS?

We started by casting our minds back to the Dark Ages, into a period of Light Bearers, where it was the Gospel that propelled them. Anna took us through looking at some old testament promises of the coming Messiah, which are foundational to our identity as believers.
