This sermon celebrates the missions giving we do at Northwest. It talks about how money in our hands is temporary but in God's hands it becomes eternal. When we give to God's mission it changes us and changes the world. After this sermon the church gave $111,000 to missions, far exceeding our $95,000 goal!

Ben Williams continues our March for Missions campaign with a sermon that explores why so many young adults want their friends to know Jesus but feel that it's inappropriate to share their faith with them. How do we become people who are comfortable and passionate about telling people the story that we just happen to know is completely true and completely life changing? 

March for Missions guest speaker Hunter Wiederstein challenges us to consider our limits of giving to others. Is there a limit to the time, energy, or tolerance you will give to others? How does that compare to the gifts of faith, hope, and love God gives us? Perhaps we should consider if we are willing to give even more faith, hope, and love to those God desires to come to know him.

When it comes to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, Shannon Hayes reminds us that we must begin with unity of heart, mind, and purpose. The world must be able to see the good news in our relationships with one another and in our unified love for the world. Because if they can't see it...it doesn't matter what we have to say.

One of the most overlooked and often misunderstood women of Genesis is the slave woman Hagar. She is used and abused, tossed out and forsaken. But not by God. In her lowest moments God saw her and knew her name. He called her and gave her a promise and a purpose. And for all of this, she named Yahweh, "El Roi," which means "the God who sees me." When you are down and defeated, God sees you too. He knows your name. He has a promise and a purpose for you.

The book of Psalms reminds us that for every season and every circumstance there is a prayer and God will hear it. So whether you are in the pasture, the pit, or the mountains, God is with you. This sermon shows how that it revealed in Psalm 23, 88, and 121.

Often in life we want to go our own way at our desired speed. This week Nathan reminds us that when we instead choose to follow our dependable God that it can keep us safe, provide what we need when we need it, and get us through life's storms. 

In Acts 2 we read that the church "held all things in common." In many ways the church continues to do this today in our shared ownership of the church's assets. So this week we are talking about the assets of Northwest Church of Christ, the top ten reasons to give to Northwest in 2025, and all God is doing with what's been given to Northwest before. 

This week we are preparing for our discipleship training and consider how Jesus designed his kingdom to grow by multiplication and not addition. Multiplication uses the power of many disciples making new disciples. We also explore how America doesn't have a "bad harvest problem" but really has a "too few harvesters problem." Are you ready to go to the harvest for Christ?

God promised Abraham his descendants would become a blessing to all nations. And yet Jesus grieved that the Temple had failed to become a house of prayer for the nations. And today God desires us to be a light to the nations. This sermon calls us to live in to that calling and discusses some of the reasons we fail to be the light in a dark world.
