You Weren't Made to Survive (James 3:13-18) | Point Blank — Week 7

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:31:12 +0000

You're not failing. You're not in some obvious spiral. You're showing up, taking care of your family, staying out of trouble — and somehow a whole week goes by and your faith didn't come up once.

James 3 calls that earthly wisdom. And he says it has a source.
In this message from James 3:13-18, we look at two kinds of wisdom — one that contracts your life down to surviving, and one that produces a harvest in the people around you. The difference isn't how hard you're working. It's what's actually fueling you.

This is Week 7 of Point Blank — a study through the book of James at Northview Church in Kodak, Tennessee.

Sticks and Stones Was a Lie (James 3:1-12) | Point Blank — Week 6

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 25 May 2026 14:21:17 +0000

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

James says otherwise.

In this message from James 3:1–12, we confront the power of the tongue — how words can destroy relationships, wound people made in God’s image, and reveal what’s really happening in the heart.

But the gospel doesn’t just diagnose the problem. It offers transformation.

This sermon explores:

The hidden damage careless words cause
Why the tongue is so difficult to control
The spiritual weight behind gossip, sarcasm, and anger
Jesus as the perfect image of God who took our curse on Himself
How the Spirit transforms mouths that once burned into mouths that heal

Bottom Line:
You can’t bless the Maker and break what He made.

Demons Believe. Disciples Surrender. (James 2:14-26) | Point Blank — Week 5

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Fri, 22 May 2026 17:39:03 +0000

What is the difference between believing in Jesus and surrendering to Jesus?

In this message from James 2:14–26, we look at the kind of faith James says is dead, useless, and unable to save. The demons believe the truth about God — but they are not disciples. Judas had proximity to Jesus, ministry experience, and religious knowledge — but he never truly surrendered.

Real faith is not perfection. Abraham’s life proves that. Real faith is a surrendered direction: acting as if God is who He says He is, even when it costs us.

This message is a direct, pastoral call to examine whether our faith is merely something we claim or something that has truly changed us. The sermon’s central line — “Demons believe. Disciples surrender.” — is repeated throughout the manuscript as the defining contrast between dead faith and surrendered discipleship.

Who Belongs in Your Church? | James 2:1–13

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 11 May 2026 14:48:12 +0000

In James 2:1–13, we’re confronted with a difficult question: who really belongs in your church?

This message exposes the subtle ways favoritism shows up in the church—not always through policies, but through reflexes. We move toward people who impress us, overlook people who make us uncomfortable, and sometimes forget that the Lord of glory made room for us when we had nothing to offer.

James calls believers back to the royal law: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” And the gospel reminds us why mercy must keep moving—because mercy first moved toward us in Jesus.

Key themes: favoritism in the church, mercy triumphs over judgment, loving your neighbor, James 2, Christian hospitality, making room for the overlooked.

You're Fooling Yourself (James 1:19-27) | Point Blank — Week 3

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:58:47 +0000

What if the problem isn't that you haven't heard enough?
What if you've heard plenty — and just keep walking away?

James 1:19-27 is one of the most confrontational passages in
the New Testament. James doesn't call out pagans or skeptics.
He calls out church people — people who show up, hear the Word, nod along, and go home unchanged. He has one word for that: self-deception.

In this message from our series Point Blank: Faith That
Doesn't Flinch, we dig into what it actually takes to let
the Word of God do what it came to do — and why most of us
keep walking away from the one mirror that tells us the truth.

The Word that exposes you is the same Word that can save you.
But only if you don't walk away from what it shows.

Stop Blaming Everything Around You. The Problem Is Inside You. | Point Blank — Week 2

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:16:31 +0000

You know the list. The culture is too sexualized. The season is too busy. The cost of living is too high. The enemy is too active. There's always a reason why you can't seem to break the cycle — and it always points somewhere other than you.James 1:9–18 doesn't let that stand.This week in our series through the book of James, we get into the anatomy of temptation — how it actually works, where it actually comes from, and why the excuse-making isn't just dishonest. It's costing you something you can't get back.The gospel collision of this passage isn't a moral lecture. It's a single word swap that changes everything. Not I can't. I won't. And the only reason that word is even available to you is because of what God already did.If you've been losing the same battles for years and blaming everything outside yourself — this one is for you.

Why Is Following Jesus So Hard? (James 1:1–8) | Point Blank - Week 1

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:25:23 +0000

Nobody told you following Jesus would feel like this.You believed. You trusted. And life didn't get easier — it got harder. Now you're sitting in the middle of a trial you didn't choose, wondering if any of this is actually worth it.James wrote this letter to people asking that exact question. Scattered. Suffering. Holding onto faith with both hands and losing their grip.His answer wasn't what they expected. And it probably isn't what you expect either.In this first message of our new series Point Blank: Faith That Doesn't Flinch, we're opening James 1:1–8 and confronting one of the hardest commands in Scripture — and the one truth that changes everything about how you walk through pain.Joy isn't found after the fire. It's forged in it.

He's Not Just the Lamb, He's the Lord | Easter Sunday | Behold the Lamb - WK 4

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 12:45:38 +0000

The tomb is empty. So why do so many of us live like it doesn't change anything?In this Easter Sunday message from John 20, Pastor Greg Rains walks through one of the most important chapters in all of Scripture — the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From the empty tomb to Mary in the garden, from the locked upper room to Thomas's confession, this message confronts the most dangerous kind of unbelief: believing just enough to show up, but not enough to let it cost you anything.If you've ever called Jesus Savior but kept control of your own life — this message is for you.

The Name You Won’t Say (But Need To) | Behold the Lamb - WK 3

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:57:22 +0000

There’s a name you won’t say out loud. Maybe not even to God. A person you’ve cut off, gone silent on, decided no longer deserves your awareness. You call it moving on. But the wound is still there — and silence never healed anything.In this message from the series Behold the Lamb, we look at what Jesus does while He’s dying. He prays for His enemies. He welcomes the criminal beside Him. He tears the curtain open. And He asks us the hardest question of the series: if the Lamb died for His enemies — what will we do with ours?Text: John 18:38b–40 | Luke 23:32–46

The Cup Jesus Left on the Table | Behold the Lamb - WK 2

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:21:08 -0100

On the night Jesus was betrayed, He did something that would have stopped every Jewish person in that room cold. He left the Passover unfinished. The fourth cup — the cup of completion, the cup that closed the Passover for fifteen hundred years — was still on the table when He walked out into the night.Where did that cup go?In this message from Mark 14:32–50, we follow Jesus into the garden of Gethsemane — where He fell to the ground, prayed with everything He had, and made the most important decision in human history. Not on the cross. In a garden. In the dark. Alone.While His closest friends slept ten feet away.This is Week 2 of our Behold the Lamb series — and it's a message about the gap between the faith most of us have been handed and the faith Jesus is actually calling us to. Easy faith raises a hand. Real faith picks up a cup.If you've ever wondered why your faith feels like it costs you nothing — this message is for you.

The Crowd Got It Wrong — and So Do We | Behold the Lamb - WK 1

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:49:54 -0100

With the Triumphal Entry, the crowd got it right and wrong at the same time. They called Him King — and He was. But they wanted a general, and God sent a Lamb. In Luke 19, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on the exact day every Jewish household was selecting their Passover lamb — and He weeps over a city that can't see what's right in front of them. This isn't just their story. It's ours. We've learned to celebrate Jesus without actually depending on Him. This message will change the way you see the Triumphal Entry — and challenge you to carry what the crowd refused to carry. He wept. He went. Now we go.

The Weapon You're Not Using | Behold the Christ - WK 5

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 17:17:33 -0100

The enemy doesn't need to take you out. He just needs to keep you distracted. In this message from John 10, Pastor Greg Rains unpacks the thief's real strategy — and reveals the one weapon most believers aren't using. If you've been feeling spiritually exhausted, numb, or like God feels distant, this message is for you.

The Man Who Commands the Dead | Behold the Christ - Week 4

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:46:06 -0100

What if your biggest problem with Jesus isn't that you've rejected him — it's that you've underestimated him?

In John 11, we meet a Jesus who delays on purpose, weeps at a grave, and shouts a dead man back to life. He is not tame. He is not manageable. And apathy toward him isn't a devotion problem — it's a vision problem.

This message will challenge the way you see Jesus and why it changes everything.

No One Ever Talked Like This | Behold the Christ - Week 3

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:51:38 -0100

Everyone has a response to Jesus. The minimizer calls Him a good teacher. The skeptic says He doesn't add up. The hostile man wants Him silenced. The curious man circles from a safe distance. And the respectful man walks away impressed — but unchanged.In John 7, temple guards were sent to arrest Jesus. They came back empty-handed. Not because they couldn't grab Him. Because they couldn't stop listening to Him.That's the most dangerous place you can be. Close enough to feel it. Far enough to walk away.This message from John 7 asks the question every person in the room has to answer: Which response is yours?Jesus doesn't want your applause. He wants your allegiance.

Fear Him, Fear Nothing | Behold the Christ - Week 1

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 14:57:48 -0100

Fear Him, Fear NothingMost of us have our fear in the wrong place.We're terrified of our circumstances—the storm that's threatening to sink us—but Jesus? He's comfortable. Manageable. Safe.But here's the problem: A Jesus you don't fear can't save you from the storms you do fear.In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples thought they were going to drown in a storm. But when Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and waves to be silent—they became MORE afraid of Him than they were of the storm that almost killed them.And that changes everything.This message unpacks what it actually means to fear Jesus (hint: it's not terror—it's awe), why we've tried to domesticate the King of creation into a life coach, and what freedom looks like when you finally get your fear in the right place.Bottom line: Fear Him, fear nothing.If you've been more afraid of your circumstances than you are of Jesus, this one's for you.📖 Main Text: Mark 4:35-41⏱️ Watch Time: [Insert time]🎯 Series: Behold the Christ

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 20:49:36 -0100

In Week 2 of our "Hands for the House" series, Pastor Greg unpacks what Nehemiah did BEFORE he ever approached the king about rebuilding Jerusalem's walls. Spoiler: it wasn't strategy. It was surrender.This message explores three postures we need when seeking God for something big: DEPENDENCE (seek God before you move), ALIGNMENT (let prayer and fasting reshape your heart), and POWER (trust that God's vision requires God's power).Whether you're facing a major life decision, leading a church through transition, or simply want to learn how to hear from God before you act—this message will challenge how you approach prayer, fasting, and seeking God's direction.— — — — — — — — — —📖 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:• Nehemiah 1:4-11 (NLT)• 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NLT)• Ephesians 3:20-21 (NLT)🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Before we act, we ask• Fasting doesn't impress God—it empties us so God can fill us• We don't need a better plan—we need God's powerABOUT NORTHVIEW CHURCH:We're a church in Kodak, Tennessee passionate about making disciples who make disciples.

See It: God's Vision for This Moment | Hands for the House Week 1

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:43:10 -0100

What happens when God gives a church a vision? It starts with a burden, requires courage to communicate, and demands both mission and movement. In this first message of our "Hands for the House" series, Pastor Greg unpacks Nehemiah's story and shows us what it means to see God's vision for our lives and our church.Same Mission. Same Message.

A Tale of Two Kings | Luke 2 | Behold the King Series

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 16:09:55 -0100

We think we have to climb up to God, clean up to belong, and earn our way to peace. But the story of Jesus' birth shatters all three lies. While Caesar Augustus ruled from his throne, demanding allegiance, God sent His Son to a manger—coming down so we could come close.In this Christmas message, we contrast Caesar's empire with Jesus' Kingdom and discover what it means that the King came down. You don't have to work your way up. You don't have to get your life together first. You don't have to control everything to find peace. The King came down. You can come close.Scripture: Luke 1:26-38, 46-55; 2:1-20Series: Behold the King | Behold the Christ | Behold the Lamb🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a message!

Three Responses to King Jesus

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:46:17 -0100

When King Jesus is born, everyone has to respond. In this sermon on Matthew 2:1–12, we look at three very different responses to the birth of Christ in the Christmas story.The wise men (Magi) travel 800 miles to worship the newborn King. Herod feels threatened and plots murder. The religious leaders know the Old Testament prophecy about the Messiah but won’t even walk six miles to Bethlehem. Same King. Three responses. Three very different trajectories.What you do with Jesus next writes the rest of your story.This is Week 2 of “Behold the King,” the first phase of a 14-week journey through the Gospels from Christmas to Easter exploring who Jesus is—King, Christ, and Lamb.

Victory Doesn’t Cancel the Fight — It Guarantees the Finish

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 20:13:08 -0100

Victory doesn’t mean the battle isn’t real—it means the outcome is settled. In this final message of our Battle Cry series, we sing “Victory in Jesus” as a war-song of faith and walk through 1 Corinthians 15:50–58 (NLT) to see why the resurrection changes everything.Paul declares that death is swallowed up in victory, the sting of death is broken through Christ, and because Jesus has already won, we don’t fight for victory—we fight from victory. If you’re facing fear, grief, temptation, or spiritual warfare, this message will anchor you in gospel confidence and call you to stand firm and live with eternal purpose.🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a message!

When Life Is Not Well, It Is Well With My Soul

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 20:15:03 -0100

When everything is falling apart, can you still say, “It is well with my soul”?In this message from Habakkuk 3:17–19, Pastor Greg Rains walks through the story behind the hymn It Is Well and shows how worship becomes a battle cry when life is not well at all. Learn how to be brutally honest about your pain, choose to rejoice in who God is (not how life feels), and walk like someone held up by God, not by your circumstances.This is Week 2 of our Battle Cry series on worship as war, featuring classic hymns like How Great Thou Art, It Is Well, and Victory in Jesus.If this sermon encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and tell us in the comments how God is teaching you to say, “It is well with my soul.”📍Learn more about our church: at www.mynorthview.church

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s battles? In this message from the Battle Cry series, we walk through Isaiah 6:1–8 and discover how worship is spiritual warfare. When your world is shaking, God’s throne is not.Using the classic hymn “How Great Thou Art”, we unpack three simple moves:Look Up – see who’s really on the throne.Own Up – let God expose and cleanse your heart.Step Up – answer God’s call and step into the fight.If you’re battling fear, anxiety, or discouragement, this sermon will help you fix your eyes on a great and faithful God so you can stand strong in any season.Scripture: Isaiah 6:1–8Themes: worship as warfare, God’s holiness, God’s faithfulness, spiritual battles, trusting God in hard times.

The End of the Matter: Solomon's Final Conclusion | Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 20:30:00 -0100

After a lifetime of chasing pleasure, wealth, power, and meaning, King Solomon arrived at one final conclusion that changes everything.

In this powerful finale to our 8-week Smoke and Mirrors series, we dive into Ecclesiastes 12:9-14—Solomon's last words and his ultimate verdict on what actually matters in life.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why God's Word is the only reliable source of wisdom in a world drowning in opinions
How Scripture both corrects and anchors us (think cattle prods and tent stakes)
The danger of endless information without transformation
What it really means to fear God, follow Jesus, and finish faithful

Bottom Line: True wisdom begins and ends with God. Fear Him. Follow Him. Finish faithful.

Whether you're feeling the emptiness of chasing success "under the sun," searching for purpose, or wondering what actually lasts when everything else fades—this message will challenge you to build your life on the only foundation that doesn't crumble.

This is straight-up, no-fluff biblical teaching with a masculine, direct edge. If you've been wondering what the point of it all is, Solomon's got your answer.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

Don’t Waste Your Prime: Give God Your Best While You’ve Still Got Breath (Ecclesiastes 12:1-8)

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 21:03:58 -0100

Your prime years represent the peak of your physical strength, mental sharpness, and energy - but time eventually humbles everyone. Most people give the world their best years and offer God whatever's left over, but God deserves your first and best, not your leftovers. Solomon warns in Ecclesiastes 12:1 to honor your Creator in your youth before growing old and losing your vitality. The greatest waste of strength is spending it entirely on yourself rather than investing in God's kingdom. Jesus modeled this perfectly at 33, choosing the cross over earthly comfort and building an eternal legacy that continues today.

Faith Risks. Fear Hoards. - The Power of Generosity.

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 19:40:43 -0100

Solomon challenges us in Ecclesiastes 11 to stop playing it safe and start living boldly for God's kingdom. Like sending grain across dangerous seas, faith requires us to invest everything God has given us - our time, talents, and treasure - rather than hoarding them safely. We can't reap what we never sow, and waiting for perfect conditions means we'll never act. True joy comes from generous living, faithful work, and trusting God with our investments, knowing that kingdom returns may not be financial but eternal.

Wisdom - The Rest of the Story

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:13:13 +0000

Life promises satisfaction—success, money, pleasure, status—but in the end, it’s all SMOKE AND MIRRORS. The book of Ecclesiastes cuts through the illusions and asks the hard question: What really matters?In this series, we will walk through Ecclesiastes to expose the emptiness of life “under the sun” and point us to the only source of meaning that lasts—fearing God and living open-handed.👉 Don’t waste your life chasing smoke. Discover the substance only God can give.

Money Promises Enough — But It’s Lying to You

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 20:12:15 +0000

King Solomon, one of history's wealthiest men, discovered that money makes promises it cannot keep. In Ecclesiastes 5, he reveals that wealth fails to satisfy our deepest longings, often damages relationships, and creates anxiety rather than security. The key insight is understanding the ownership test: everything we have belongs to God, and we are simply stewards managing His gifts. True contentment comes not from accumulating more, but from recognizing that what we already have is a gift from God. Solomon teaches that godly wealth management involves holding everything with open hands, practicing contentment, and choosing generosity that requires faith.

IF IT'S NOT GOOD, GOD'S NOT DONE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 20:04:24 +0000

Finding peace means recognizing that God, not us, controls the timing of life's seasons. Solomon teaches in Ecclesiastes 3 that there's an appointed time for everything - from birth to death, joy to sorrow - determined by God alone. When facing difficult seasons, instead of asking why God allowed them, we should ask what He wants us to learn. God promises to make everything beautiful in its time and has planted eternity in our hearts. By surrendering to Jesus, accepting our current season, trusting His timing, living with an eternal perspective, and resting in His purpose, we can find peace even in challenging times.

THE GRIND WON'T FILL YOU

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 13:11:26 +0000

Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest king, discovered that pursuing pleasure, projects, possessions, power, and profession apart from God leads only to emptiness. Like Tom Brady who always wanted 'the next' Super Bowl ring despite his achievements, we often chase worldly success thinking it will fulfill us. Yet Solomon's verdict in Ecclesiastes 2 is clear: everything under the sun is 'hevel' - vapor, meaningless. True meaning isn't earned through grinding harder but received as a gift from God. When we center our lives on Jesus rather than worldly pursuits, we find the joy, purpose, and fulfillment we're seeking.

RUNNING HARD, GETTING NOWHERE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:04:01 +0000

Solomon, one of history's wisest and wealthiest individuals, discovered that life without God is like a hamster wheel - full of motion but lacking meaning. In Ecclesiastes, he describes earthly pursuits as 'hevel' (smoke or vapor) that cannot be grasped. The cyclical nature of life, our quickly fading legacies, and even the pursuit of knowledge all prove unsatisfying when disconnected from God. True meaning comes not from achievements, status, or possessions, but from fearing God and keeping His commandments. Life under the sun is merely smoke, but life in the Son (Jesus Christ) provides lasting substance and purpose.

HOW TO LEAD YOUR FAMILY LIKE JESUS

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 19:38:58 +0000

Creating a Christ-centered home requires making Jesus Lord of every relationship, not just in theory but in practice. While our natural tendency is self-centeredness, Paul's instructions in Colossians guide families toward mutual submission and Christ-like love. For marriages, this means wives voluntarily supporting their husbands' leadership while husbands love sacrificially as Christ loved the church. Parents are called to provide both validation and vision for their children, discipling them through consistent teaching and modeling authentic faith. The foundation for all family relationships is mutual submission out of reverence for Christ, putting others' needs before our own.

WHY YOU CAN'T FOLLOW JESUS ALONE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:46:50 +0000

Are you trying to pour out what you haven't first taken in? Just like you need to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others on a plane, you need to be filled with Christ before you can truly serve others. How are you 'clothing yourself' with compassion, kindness, and love today? Faith was never meant to be a solo journey - discover how being connected to Christ and community changes everything.

STOP TRYING HARDER. START LIVING NEW.

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:22:29 +0000

Sometimes in life, we try to fix our problems on our own, only to realize we need someone who truly knows what they're doing. This is especially true in our spiritual lives. The truth is, we don't just need to fix areas of our lives—we need a completely new life. And that's exactly what Paul teaches in Colossians 3.

CHASING SHADOWS

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 19:20:08 +0000

Many believers create spiritual scorecards, measuring their relationship with God by religious activities rather than genuine transformation. Like the Colossian church, we often add rules and traditions to create a 'Jesus plus' faith that misses the heart of Christianity. We chase shadows—church attendance, spiritual dietary laws, calendar Christianity, and style preferences—instead of pursuing Jesus himself. True faith isn't about performance or earning God's favor through religious activities. Your walk with Christ is about your identity in Him, not your activity for Him. Stop chasing shadows and cling to the Savior, letting spiritual disciplines flow from love rather than obligation.

WHY YOUR FAITH FEELS STUCK (AND HOW TO GET MOVING AGAIN)

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 13:38:17 +0000

Many Christians feel spiritually stagnant because they're trying to grow without being rooted in Christ. Like the mighty Angel Oak tree that has withstood centuries of storms because of its deep root system, our spiritual lives need to be firmly anchored in Jesus to withstand life's challenges. Paul instructs believers to be rooted in Christ, build their lives on Him, grow strong in faith, and overflow with thankfulness. This growth doesn't happen in isolation but through Scripture, prayer, and community. By evaluating what we're rooted in, assessing our foundation, committing to community, and balancing our spiritual inputs, we can experience genuine spiritual transformation.

A LIFE WORTH LIVING

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 21:16:59 +0000

Spiritual maturity in Christ isn't built on comfort, but on sacrifice. While becoming a Christian costs nothing, growing in Christ requires sacrificing comfort, time, and resources. We must shift from being Christian consumers who only take to being missionaries who serve others and advance the gospel. Paul viewed his sufferings as participation in Christ's work, recognizing that his sacrifices advanced the kingdom. The ultimate mission isn't just making converts but making disciples—helping others grow into mature followers of Christ. Through sacrificial giving, serving, and stepping out of our comfort zones, we can make an eternal difference that reaches farther than we could imagine.

WHO IS JESUS - REALLY?

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 13:53:32 +0000

Who is Jesus? This foundational question reveals that Jesus is more than a prophet, guru, or moral teacher - He is the visible image of the invisible God. Colossians 1:15-20 presents Jesus as supreme over all creation, the Creator who holds everything together, and the head of the church. He is fully God in human form, reconciling all things to Himself through His sacrifice. Understanding Jesus' true identity transforms our perspective on life's purpose and challenges us to make Him first in our time, talents, and treasure - not just important, but preeminent in every aspect of our lives.

THE TRUTH YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO FORGET

In a world of competing voices, it's easy to drift from the simple truth of the gospel, just like the Colossian Christians did. They faced threats of diminishing Jesus' deity and legalism, creating a distorted version of Christianity. Today, we face similar challenges as we consume more social media than Scripture. Paul reminds us to remember our identity in Christ, recognize what God has done for us, and focus on where He is taking us. By filtering what we hear through Scripture and spending intentional time with Jesus, we can return to the simple truth that Jesus is all that matters.

TOP SON II - The Rise of Joseph

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 17:12:54 +0000

Life's delays aren't denials but runways preparing us for takeoff, as illustrated by Joseph's journey from pit to palace. Despite being sold into slavery, imprisoned, and forgotten, Joseph remained faithful during seasons of waiting. God used these delays to develop Joseph's character, leadership, and humility before suddenly elevating him to govern Egypt. When we feel stuck or forgotten, God is building strength beneath the surface. Our waiting seasons are purposeful preparation for the unique mission God has designed for us.

TWO THINGS EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST DO TO SURVIVE THE BATTLE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 26 May 2025 15:03:18 +0000

Spiritual warfare is a reality for every believer, with an enemy seeking to destroy and a God offering abundant life. To win these battles, Christians need two essential weapons: the Sword of the Spirit (God's Word) and persistent prayer. Research shows reading the Bible at least four times weekly creates significant positive life changes, while prayer connects us to God's power. These weapons aren't just defensive but allow believers to take the offensive against the enemy's schemes, leading to true abundance—not necessarily material wealth, but a rich life grounded in gospel truth.

DON'T FORGET WHO YOU ARE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 19 May 2025 13:30:43 +0000

In today's world, we face an unprecedented identity crisis, evidenced by alarming mental health statistics and rising psychological distress, particularly among young people. Satan strategically attacks our identity through four main tactics: circumstances that question God's love, comparison that breeds discontent, competition that creates pressure to prove ourselves, and condemnation that generates shame about our past.The Gospel, however, provides powerful antidotes to these attacks. Through adoption, we become God's beloved children with an unshakeable identity. Justification ensures our right standing with God isn't based on performance. Reconciliation makes us new creations with a fresh start, and forgiveness cancels all past charges against us. Understanding and embracing these truths is essential for maintaining spiritual and emotional well-being in today's challenging world.

BE GROUNDED AND GUARDED

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 12 May 2025 12:25:35 +0000

Christians must recognize they're in a spiritual battle, not on a spiritual vacation. When someone accepts Jesus as Savior, they become a target for spiritual attacks, necessitating proper spiritual armor and preparation. The foundation begins with the shoes of gospel peace, which grounds believers in the truth that reconciliation with God is available through Jesus Christ. This peace becomes both a personal anchor and a message to share with others.The shield of faith serves as crucial protection against various enemy attacks, including lies about identity in Christ, temptations during vulnerable times, and spiritual complacency. Faith development often progresses gradually, like a dimmer switch rather than an instant light switch, requiring multiple exposures to the gospel message. The Holy Spirit works through believers who act as witnesses rather than attorneys trying to win arguments.Effective spiritual warfare requires both individual preparation and community support. Believers are called to link shields with others through active church involvement and accountability relationships. This includes identifying areas needing strengthening, memorizing relevant Scripture, and actively sharing the gospel while maintaining a battleship rather than cruise ship mentality.

True discipleship involves hands-on learning from experienced believers, not just classroom instruction. The impact multiplies when disciples become mentors themselves, creating a chain reaction of spiritual growth and development.

A MATTER OF COVENANT, NOT OF CONVENIENCE

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 11:13:59 -0100

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a strong and healthy marriage can be challenging. This week's message at Northview Church delves into the significance of marriage, its biblical foundations, and the modern-day challenges it faces. By examining Jesus' teachings in Matthew 19, we explore how to navigate marital difficulties and the importance of viewing marriage as a covenant rather than a contract. Modern marriages often face issues similar to those of modern products—lack of maintenance and the allure of something new. This neglect can lead to significant problems, prompting some to seek a way out rather than working through the issues. Jesus emphasizes the sanctity of marriage by referring back to Genesis 2, highlighting that marriage is a union created by God, where a man and woman become one flesh. This union is not to be taken lightly or dissolved easily. Since the 1960s, societal views on marriage and relationships have shifted dramatically. The introduction of no-fault divorce laws and the advent of birth control have contributed to a culture that often seeks to avoid the consequences of personal choices. This shift has led to a significant increase in divorce rates and changing attitudes towards relationships and family structures. The erosion of traditional views on marriage has had far-reaching effects on society, leading to broader cultural instability. According to Jesus, marriage is a covenant that should not be broken except in cases of adultery (Matthew 19:9). Paul expands on this in 1 Corinthians 7, adding abandonment and abuse as valid reasons for divorce. However, these exceptions are not to be taken lightly, and every effort should be made to preserve the marriage. Christians are called to be covenant keepers, reflecting God's unwavering commitment to us. Divorce should be a last resort, pursued only after all other options have been exhausted. To strengthen marriages, practical steps like renewing your commitment, seeking support, and pursuing counseling are essential. Reflect on your marriage, seek support, and renew your commitment to your spouse and to God.

Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 15:07:54 -0100

SERIES SUMMARY: What is so special about Jesus Christ? He is 100 percent God and 100 percent man. He is not afraid to join himself to us as family; he is Immanuel, God with us. Only through his death and resurrection can we be saved, and only through his life within us can we truly live. The depths of who He is challenges explanation. Because of that, there are some 200 names and titles of Jesus in Scripture. In this series we’ll consider some of these names of Jesus and seek to better grasp who He really is. Join us for our series IN JESUS' NAME as we begin to dig into these ideas.
