Magnify Church - Northview Campus

Have you ever wondered who does what in a church and why? Some studies show that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. Don Pearson opens Ephesians 4 and explores the roles and gifts that God has given to the church and the reason He gave them.

Why does it feel so good to do a job well—whether it’s finishing a project, serving someone, or creating something with excellence? Don Pearson opens Ephesians 2 and shows us that our joy in good work points to something deeper—it reflects the design of our Creator. We are saved by grace, not by works, yet God invites us to walk in the good works He has already prepared for us. That’s why it feels so right—it’s what we were made for.

In our culture, it’s not always easy to stand up and proclaim that you follow Jesus. That’s what makes baptism so powerful—it’s a bold, public declaration that your life belongs to Him. Aligning your life with Christ means living out that declaration every single day and walking in the freedom from sin that salvation provides. This Baptism Sunday, we get to celebrate together with powerful testimonies, heartfelt worship, and time in God’s Word, as Don Pearson reminds us what it means to live Unashamed for Jesus.

Have you taken time this week to delight in God’s creation—perhaps by watching a sunset or gazing at a starry sky? Have you also taken time to delight in His Word—His law, precepts, and commandments? Don Pearson continues our series Worship and Wonder, by inviting us to reflect on the truth, power, and perfection of God’s Word, and to consider the right response of our hearts to His revelation.

How often do you take time to delight in our Creator's masterpiece? Creation speaks of God's majesty and invites us to pause, observe, and respond in worship. This week, Don Pearson continues our summer series, Worship and Wonder, and invites us to delight in God's creation and come to know the glory of His gift.

Have you ever carried a secret so heavy it felt like it was eating you alive? Health and psychology experts alike will tell you what God has knit into our very being from the start: hiding is not healthy. Don Pearson continues our summer series in the Psalms by exploring how God lovingly draws us out of hiding through confession, into His mercy, grace, and forgiveness, so we can find healing for our bodies and souls.

What makes you shout for joy? Maybe it’s when your favorite team scores, during a standing ovation at the end of an incredible performance, or maybe when you open a surprise gift? Don Pearson continues our summer series, Worship and Wonder: Pictures of God in the Psalms, and invites us to shout for joy because of God’s steadfast love.

Safety, security, and satisfaction. Aren’t those things we all want? Yet so often, we look in the wrong places to find them. Don Pearson continues our summer series and takes a deeper dive into the second half of Psalm 23 to show us how our Good Shepherd pursues us and provides all we could ever need.

Many people take pride in being independent, and if you called them “sheep” it would be an insult. Yet in Biblical times, being a sheep with a good shepherd meant that you did not want for anything. Don Denyes continues our summer series, Worship and Wonder: Pictures of God in the Psalms and explores how following our Good Shepherd gives us rest, refreshment, restoration, and direction.

Where do you turn when your world is shaken? Some turn to media, food, or other worldly comforts and pleasures to escape. This week we are back in new our Summer series, Worship and Wonder: Pictures of God in the Psalms. Tim Blazer looks deeper into Psalm 62 and shares where we can find security, safety, and stability in times of trouble.

Life is a journey with pitfalls and trials along the way. As we continue our Summer series, Worship and Wonder: Pictures of God in the Psalms, Noah Anderson looks at God as our Sun and the blessings He offers for those who trust Him.

If someone was to observe your life, what would they see? Don Pearson asks that pretty sobering question in our last teaching in Luke as we close out our Storytellers series, and encourages us that our actions and words tell a story. What story do you want your life to tell?

Jesus’ mission is to seek and save the lost! Don Pearson takes a deeper look at two of Jesus’ interactions with a crowd in Luke as He visited Jericho, and reminds us to have a heart that seeks Him. He sees our needs and has the power to transform our lives!

Don’t you wish that God wrote proof of His existence on a neon sign somewhere, so no one could miss it? Louie Konopka takes us on a journey through several different passages of Scripture to show us that God truly is right here with us. If we look for Him, we can’t miss Him!

Most days do you feel like you can tackle life on your own, or do you regularly hit your knees in prayer? Don Pearson looks at another parable in Luke that contrasts two people’s prayers, as he invites us to see our desperate need for the Savior.

What prayers have you stopped praying? Are there things you’ve brought to God for years that you feel like He still hasn’t answered; or maybe He hasn’t answered the way you had hoped He would? Don Pearson continues our Storytellers series in Luke with a parable that encourages us to not lose heart as we bring our heart’s desires to the Lord in prayer.

Do you find yourself asking God more often for what you want, or thanking Him for what He has already given you? Don Pearson jumps back into our Storytellers series in Luke with a story that highlights a characteristic that should mark our lives.

As our culture continues to become more and more socially isolated, the biblical model of community seems more and more foreign. Don Pearson continues our Storytellers series with three of Jesus’ teachings that invite us to pay attention to ourselves so we can better serve and love others.

How can we live in a world of chaos, suffering, and disillusionment with hope, joy, and peace? The closing paragraphs of Luke’s gospel start with the disciples in the chaos and disillusionment of Jesus’ death and end with them filled with joy and worship. What makes the difference? In our last week of The Greatest Story series, Don Pearson unpacks these paragraphs and points our hearts to the answer.
