There’s something that God wants each and every believer to do after they accept Jesus as their Savior. It’s a BIG deal to God. So we’ve made it a big deal at Northwest. This service is dedicated to worshiping our God and celebrating those in our church family who have chosen to take the next step of obedience and be baptized!

The Church isn’t just a building… it’s the people. We are the Church. And God doesn’t want us to be just another church. He doesn’t even want us to be a good Church. So if we know God wants more from us, we need to ask ourselves, “What Defines a Great Church?”

We sit in chairs every day. Chances are you’ve got all different types around your house. But what you may not realize is that each and every day you are choosing to sit in a spiritual chair. There are three different chairs for you to choose from, and the choice is completely up to you. But the thing you’ve got to keep in mind is that your choice will have consequences.

“Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…” —Joshua 24:15

At the edge of the land God had promised them centuries before, the Israelites were about to claim it. But there was one last lesson they needed to learn, a lesson we still need to grasp in 2021. But, in their case, the Israelites had to learn it the hard way… in God’s economy, it’s always “Vision Over Sight.”

All too often, we equate the word “normal” to mean common, lackadaisical, or what is expected. In God’s economy, “normal” calls us to live a life according to His standards, not ours. Jesus modeled what it looked like to be a servant, and He expects nothing less from us.

A person accepts Jesus as their Savior… then what? If as believers we know that one day we’ll be in Heaven with our God, why don’t we go there right after we get saved? When we ask the question, “why are we still here?”, the answer God shows us in His Word comes down to one word… people.

We’ve seen firsthand… and maybe even experienced ourselves… how easy it is to withdraw, and before we know it, we’re living as though we’re on an island, going through life solo. But God never intended our Christian life to be lived out on our own. So as we move to get back to normal, one thing we don’t want to miss is “Why One-Another” is so important to God in the life of the believer.

Fourteen months… 61 Sunday mornings… have passed since we had our last normal Sunday morning together. And as week after week has gone by, one churning thought has become crystal clear. God isn’t done with His church yet. And we’re ready for it. Whatever He’s got for us, we are all in. It’s time church… “It’s Time to Get Back to Normal”.
