NorthCross Sermons

One of the biggest battles we have to fight is the battle going on in our minds. It's easy to be misled and to believe things about life, about ourselves, and about God that aren't true. And when we believe those lies, they will affect our lives. This week we're going to see what God has to say about winning the war in our minds.

The world as we know it will someday come to an end. But...the end will not be the end. There will be a new heaven and a new earth that believers can look forward to. What will it be like? What do we know about eternity in heaven? What don't we know? This weekend we will be tackling some of those things as we close out this series about the end of the world.

Jesus frequently spoke about a final judgment where every person will either go to heaven or hell.

As Jesus walked to the place of his execution, there were three different types of people who interacted with him. Each of them has something to teach us when it comes to the way we perceive and react to the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.

Have your choices ever been influenced by the people around you? It's hard to do what's "right" when the crowd is encouraging you to do what's "wrong." This weekend we're going to see how Pontius Pilate faced that dilemma and learn where to look when we face similar circumstances.

Have you ever asked God to give you a sign? It is good to seek his guidance during times of uncertainty, but it can be quite unsettling when your request for guidance is met with silence.

It's that time again. Pretty soon our screens will be inundated with commercials and advertisements for politicians running for office. Feelings and emotions will be heightened.

The voice of culture gives us hundreds of messages about sex and sexuality every single day. Movies. TV shows. Commercials. The internet. They all contain references to sex and most of the time treat it quite casually. This weekend we're going to listen to a different voice: God's. We're going to spend time not only discovering God's plan, but also why his plan is so good.

When Jesus first began to preach, this was the message that he was known for: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near” (Matthew 4:17). What was this “repentance” that Jesus commanded people to practice? As we’ll see this Ash Wednesday, it’s much more than just saying you are sorry. It includes a change in the way you live.

There’s a foundational life question that everybody must answer but few consistently get right: “Who am I?” This weekend we will see how God guides people to discover the truth about who they are, and we will begin a conversation about how to navigate in a culture that guides people toward a very different answer.

Sometimes the most difficult person to forgive is the person we see in the mirror. In fact, a sin from the past can become the way we define ourselves in the present. Self-forgiveness is a topic that can lead to lots of feelings and emotions, but this weekend we're not going to focus on feelings. We're going to focus on the truth of what Jesus has done and what God says about you.

To forgive means you let go of whatever hurt you, refusing to get even or grow resentful over it. But what about situations where there should be consequences for what the other person did? As it turns out, Jesus taught people how to know when consequences are necessary and how to implement them in a loving way.

Letting go of a hurt from the past sounds wonderful. We don't want past hurts to lead us to become angry and bitter. And yet, forgiveness still isn't easy.

We live in a world where so many people have been hurt, and where so many relationships have been ruined by selfish choices. When it comes to forgiveness, where do we even begin?
