Northside Bible Church: Recent Episodes
Stan Givens
The sermons and message series of Pastor Stan Givens, senior pastor of Northside Bible Church in Mobile, AL.
The most powerful and significant moment in all of human history is celebrated here at the end of March. If you're a follower of Jesus Christ — or someone seeking to understand more about Him you're invited to be with us on Easter Sunday Morning to hear what God refers to as "good news."
In a world filled with bad news, every hour, on the hour, wouldn't you like to discover some truly good news? Easter at Northside is your opportunity to do just that!
One of the biggest problems facing our culture today is the way in which we continuously subdivide ourselves into smaller and smaller tribes. People find themselves unable to "get along" with anyone who does not think exactly like they do.
The church can often suffer from the same form of divisiveness. This is unfortunate because the true strength of the local church is found in its unity. A diverse group of people — all dwelling together in unity around the Gospel — can bring glory to God.
Over the next few weeks we'll discuss how we are to remain unified within various convictions about cultural issues. The Apostle Paul was clear in his teachings to the early church and we can learn much from his principles and practices.

Anxiety is one of the most powerful, intimidating, and altogether monstrous forces in our current culture. In fact, the average child today is more fearful than the average psychiatric patient of the 1950s!
Have you ever wondered what's at the root of all this? Where does anxiety come from? What causes it? Is there any solution?
Grab a friend and head over to Northside in the morning for the next installment of Pastor Stan's series "The Climb" as we examine the biblical definition of anxiety and see just how the enemy uses it against us.
Have you ever wondered if Jesus was afraid? The answer might surprise you! Follow along as we dive into a special formula seen in multiple places and stories throughout Scripture for overcoming fear.
Last week we saw how the Scriptures clearly describe Satan as a “roaring lion” whose primary intent is to stir up anxiety and create fear in your life. And Satan’s no dummy. He uses every trick in his playbook and every tool at his disposal — from the results of your last physical exam to academic and corporate pressures or even Hollywood entertainment and the mainstream news media.
The truth is that when you let fear sit and marinate in your life, it will get far bigger than is actually warranted for the situation.
There’s good and healthy fear, but there’s also bad fear that can lead us to make poor decisions. Jesus has given us the wisdom and ability to distinguish between them and we’ll see how this morning.
Grab a friend and head over to Northside at 10:30 for tons of fellowship, plenty of live worship and hot coffee, and the next installment of Pastor Stan’s series “The Climb.”
Crouching. Prowling. Deceiving. Devouring.
These are the action verbs Scripture uses to describe how our Enemy wars against us. In one of the earliest conversations with mankind, God tells us that sin is "crouching at the door" trying to dominate us. Fear and anxiety are two of the most treacherous battlegrounds where Satan often finds much success.
Since 2020, depression and anxiety prescriptions have reached an all-time high. Recent reports from Forbes and the American Psychiatric Association revealed that anxiety disorders grew from about 298 million people to 374 million. This is a 25% increase.
Of course, you won't find everything in governmental or medical records. Drug, alcohol, and sex addictions, isolation and insulation, extreme apathy, and obsessive over-achievement are all indicators that stress is controlling more people than we realize or care to admit.
Thankfully, God has answers from Genesis to Revelation on how to overcome the evil strategies of the Enemy. How to scale the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that feel like mountains in our lives.
Over the next few weeks, we will study how Satan schemes against us and how we can effectively battle anxiety, fear, and sin as we navigate the Christian life and strive to follow the plans of God. We have a Guide. He's given us a compass. We don't have to be lost.
Does your personal walk with Christ mirror the attitudes found in Matthew 5? Jesus is very clear in His teachings on how we are to live! Listen as Assistant Pastor Steven Mathews takes us back into his Gospel of the Kingdom series.
What happens when sincere followers of Christ come against giant problems? As people of God, we have two choices:
1) Stay in our tent and hide.
2) Turn and face the enemy.
Life seems to be full of choices. Let's be honest: Tennis shoe selection alone is a rather daunting task.
But, in the end, the Bible is clear that we ultimately only have a total of two choices.
Join us this morning for a special message from Pastor Stan on the two choices facing every human being on earth.

Years later, when Jesus was interrogated by Pilate before His execution, Pilate asked Him if He was a "king."
When Christ was hung on the cross, He was given a crown made of thorns to mock his kingly title. Little did the onlookers and mockers realize that the One they were ridiculing as king was actually the True King who would become King of Kings.
Listen as Pastor Stan shares Five Truths About King Jesus in the third installment of his Christmas series.
Would you like to live your life with more passion? Would you like to enjoy life to its fullest? The real purpose of Christmas is to make that a reality for you. Jesus' visit to Earth via Bethlehem has massive implications for us all.
Listen to the next installment of Pastor Stan's Christmas series The Cradle, Cross, and Crown as we uncover the amazing truth about God's design for our lives!
Every year in our fast-paced, materialistic, self-centered American culture, people miss the true meaning of Christmas entirely. They exert all of their time, energy, and money prioritizing gifts, decorations, lights, family gatherings, Santa, and good cheer. Even as Christ-followers, we occasionally do the same.
But this time of year is about so much more than what's under the tree or who's coming over on Christmas Day. It's about the birth of a Savior in a stable!
Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into part one of his series "The Cradle, Cross, & Crown" and invites us to pause, step back, and take a look at the bigger picture and the full power and wonder of what we refer to as "Christmas."
What are you standing firm on in order to have stability through the storms of life? If there’s one year in which we all need a little more stability, it’s definitely 2020!
Join us today for the last installment of Pastor Stan’s Don’t Worry series!
All throughout the New Testament we see how Jesus reaches out to us and seeks us. He overcomes every barrier that we place between us and Him — from racism and gender to cultural stereotypes and socioeconomic statuses — and lavishes His unparalleled grace and love into our lives! Listen as our very own Steven Mathews delivers a fresh look at the story of the Samaritan woman at the well.
Join us for a Veterans Day Service message by special guest speaker Bishop David Aaron Richey.
As political, social, and cultural uncertainty swarms around us, believers can know that their eternal hope is secure in Jesus Christ and His Word! Why? Because we've been given a hope that will never disappoint! We don't have to live in fear or uncertainty.
Listen as Pastor Stan takes us through the next installment of his Don't Worry series and shows us several passages that reveal the comfort and beauty of our hope in God.
The Bible says in John 14 that we can have the promise of peace, even in the midst of a chaotic world. Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into part 2 of his Don't Worry series and shows us how to access divine peace.
So if you’ve been paying attention to the world around us much at all over the last few months, then you might have noticed that 2020 has been a little, well, crazy. For some it’s been unnerving and altogether terrifying. From a global pandemic to riots in the streets to political upheaval, wildfires, murder hornets, and everything in between, it looks as if the very fabric of society is ready to burst apart at the seams.
“Worry” is a common word and something to which most of us can relate. Maybe you can identify. Maybe you’ve been worried about the future, your finances, your job, your health, the election, your family, or all of the above.
But, the beautiful reality is that even as everything goes all 2020, we can have eternal joy, hope, and peace because of God’s sovereignty. So don't pull out your hair. Instead, join us for this special series as we learn to anchor ourselves in the promises of Christ!
Did you know that there's a Scriptural analogy between Jonah and Jesus? If you don't know how to look for signs, you'll miss it! Listen as guest speaker Steven Matthews helps us "dive" into The Sign of Jonah.
Listen to the next installment of Pastor Stan's Strong Church series as we see the final challenge Paul gives to Timothy regarding essential elements needed to guard and build a strong and healthy church! This is precisely the model we want to follow here at Northside.
Are you tired? Are you worn out at the end of each day? Ask yourself what you spend your time chasing. Do you spend your time chasing things that refresh or exhaust you? Paul challenges the Church to chase godliness. And in the process, we can have "great gain." God is telling us that we can have what He calls "great gain." Wouldn't you like to have great gain?
Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into the next installment of Strong Church with a look at faithfully chasing after godliness.
What does God see when He looks at your P&L statement for the month? What does God consider true gain for you and for His Church? Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into the next installment of his Strong Church series in 1st Timothy with a look at eight principles of money from the Scriptures.
What are some of the most striking marks of false teachers and why should you be on the lookout for them? 1st Timothy 6 is crystal clear on the defining characteristics of false teachers and the messes that they can — and so often do — create. As believers, we must always be on guard. Listen as Pastor Stan helps us see four obvious traits false teachers possess, as well as two mentalities they exhibit.
How in the world are we to expose people to God in our everyday lives? Could the letter written to Timothy to help guide the church at Ephesus give us some direction and structure? Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into the next installment of his Strong Church series with a look at one of the simplest ways that Christ-followers can take their faith into this world.
The Bible says in Ephesians that we are dead in our trespasses in sins and have no chance of saving ourselves from our former lives apart from the grace of God. Listen as guest speaker Victor Herman shares his personal testimony and answers the question: What do dead men truly need the most?
Student Ministry Leader Josh Wattier brings an encouraging and inspiring message on how we can live our lives in full allegiance to God as seen through the story of King Asa.
Strong churches treat their leadership with honor and accountability. And strong churches also NEED strong leadership and healthy relationships. Why is our passage for today so detailed?
Join us as Pastor Stan takes us into 1 Timothy 5:17-25 for the next installment of his Strong Church series.
Healthy churches are strong families and they must take care of their own members. But there are some challenges that come with being such a close-knit family. The question we face is: What is unique to the family we refer to as the Bride of Christ? Listen as Pastor Stan continues in his Strong Church series in 1st Timothy and as we examine how we can have strong and healthy relationships within the Body.
Can the church be healthy while still in isolation from one another? Paul would say no. The one another's are foundational to the health and functionality of the Local Church. Listen as Pastor Stan takes us into part 17 of his Strong Church series in 1st Timothy.
What are you relying on to help you minister? What things do you depend on in order to endure? 1st Timothy 4 is clear that strong people of God are strong ministers. Listen as Pastor Stan unpacks Four Marks of a Healthy Minister by looking at the examples of Paul and the Macedonian Church.
Are you a spiritual couch potato? How can you stay active in your Christian life and walk? We have to be disciplined. Today we're moving into the next installment of Pastor Stan's Strong Church series in 1st Timothy!
How can you identify the Apostasy and know whether your salvation is secure? Listen as Pastor Stan takes us through 1 Timothy 4:1-6 with a look at the inevitability, nature, and opposite of the Apostasy in the next installment of his Strong Church series.
In 1st Timothy 4, Paul tells us that the last days will be filled with people who fall away from the faith, adhere to false doctrine, and even listen to "deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons." The Apostasy is real and dark days lie ahead. But, the Church is called to be the light and the hope in the midst of this. And before we can do that, we must understand the Apostasy. What does it mean? Where did it come from? Listen as Pastor Stan takes us through the next installment of his Strong Church series!
How much dust are you stirring up? Is there evidence of God at work in your life as you minister for Him as a man of God? Listen as Pastor Stan takes us through 1st Timothy 3:8-16 and the biblical characteristics of faithful elders and deacons in the local church.

The Church at Ephesus had issues with women and the role of women in the church. But women who seek godliness, self-control, and humility will always strengthen and sustain the local church. Join us for the next installment of Pastor Stan's Strong Church series!
Join us for the next installment of Pastor Stan’s Strong Church series as we do a little review and then take a look at “The Proof of God’s Love.”
Pastor Stan delivers a tough challenge from Luke 14 and the Parable of the Banquet Feast for our first full official Sunday back together after quarantine regulations have been lifted.
What are the two biggest reasons for the Church to pray for lost people? Today we'll dive into that question as we examine some key truths about who God is and who Christ is from 2 Timothy 2:1-8 in the next installment of Pastor Stan's "Strong Church" series.
At the heart of a healthy church is a movement of growing men and women who are longing for others to be saved and walk with God. This longing should cover everyone — even cruel, murderous, and blasphemous lost people. But how do we do that? Join us for part seven of Pastor Stan’s “Strong Church” series in 1st Timothy as we look at “How To Pray For All Men.”
Have you ever stopped to contemplate just how important and utterly fascinating the reality of God's grace is in your life? As believers, we each have a unique and personal story that includes the interwoven grace of God. And this story is one that begs to be told. Have you shared your grace story lately? Listen as Pastor Stan walks us through five reasons we should be sharing our elevator testimonies with everyone we encounter!
Our youth ministry leader Josh Wattier brings a special message on overcoming fear through faith as seen through the life and example of Gideon in the Old Testament.
Pastor Stan's two-part Easter series concludes with a look at how we should respond to the glorious reality that Christ is alive and the tomb is empty.
What do you do when it all seems to go wrong? Do you find yourself asking, "What now?"
Holy Week for the disciples would have been just such a time but by a magnitude of ten! The week kicked off with everyone worshiping Jesus as the Messiah and by the weekend they were demanding His execution. Talk about a change of circumstances. The disciples were forced to watch Him die a cruel, agonizing Roman death.
Everything seemed lost and hopeless. Perhaps you can relate. Do you ever feel like that?
Oftentimes as Christians, our natural reaction in the midst of storms and difficulties is to run in the opposite direction. Today Pastor Stan will be temporarily breaking from his "Strong Church" series in 1st Timothy in order to specifically address the Coronavirus and four ways we should respond to it. Join us for this special message titled "Shelter In Place."
Is it possible that the American culture has weakened the essence of the Gospel that the disciples preached during their time on earth? And what is the Gospel anyway? How are we to differentiate the one true Gospel from the false gospels?
What happens when you get the Gospel right? What happens when you get the Gospel wrong? How can you shipwreck your entire faith? These are just a few of the questions we'll examine in part three of Pastor Stan's "Strong Church" series as we continue to make our way through the book of 1st Timothy.
How can we manage and maintain a thriving church in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation? Today we unlock that question in part two of Pastor Stan's "Strong Church" series.
Today we'll begin to explore the values of the Church at Ephesus, its miracle-filled origin, and its need for evaluation and instruction. Paul sent his trusted disciple Timothy to bring hope and help to this church!
But where can we find real hope? How can we have an assurance that those we love and care for can have a hope as well? Join us for the start of Pastor Stan's brand new series "Strong Church," as we take a dive into 1st Timothy and discover how to have genuine, eternal hope as followers of Christ!
Pastor Stan gives us a glimpse into the defining attributes of a true disciple of Christ through the story of Mary Magdalene.
Today we'll be looking at one of the most dominant themes from the life of Christ and how the modern Church has become weak and soft in this particular area. In Pastor Stan's own words, this very well may be the most important message he has ever preached during his time at Northside.
Christians aren’t called to be stagnant and stationary; they should constantly be serving and moving. Unfortunately in life, it can be easy to get complacent in our daily routines and allow the beautiful reality of the Gospel to become old and stale. We slowly lose our passion for the concerns of Christ and can easily become distracted by or entangled in things that do not ultimately matter at all.
Listen as Pastor Stan helps us understand how we can (and should) break free from the rut and get moving!
As Christ-followers, we're called to make a difference in our culture. We know that's a little intimidating and can seem overwhelming at times. After all, the culture isn't exactly aligned with Christlike values. Today we're going to see not only how we're called to live, but how to practically implement it into our everyday lives as well!
Associate Pastor Cody Walker fills in for Pastor Stan and speaks about how we can boldly return to our first love as believers in Christ.
True worship requires us to focus our attention, affection and allegiance on Christ. So what does that look like and how can we do it?
What distracts you from focusing on Christ and the Gospel? If we’re all being honest, life can be overwhelming, frustrating, and downright discouraging. In the midst of the rat race, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most or — in the words of the angel of the Lord to the Church at Ephesus — to “abandon our first love.”
As we enter 2020, Pastor Stan will be calling us to return to our passion and zeal for the Gospel, the same intensity and enthusiasm that captured our hearts when we were first saved.

All month long, Pastor Stan has taken us on a wondrous journey of discovering who Christ is and how His power, plans, and sacrifice are always for our good as believers. And now we invite you to behold the splendor and beauty of His reign in the final installment of this Christmas series "Behold Our God."
The greatest gift of Christmas is the beautiful reality, depth, and meaning of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to redeem all of mankind from their sins and offer them eternal life in Heaven with Him. Today we'll be looking at three ways that Christ sacrificed for us and how we're called to respond to such immense and immeasurable love!
How do we know what path we should pursue in life? Is there a roadmap for this winding journey we all find ourselves on? Can we truly navigate the dark highways of sin and fear? As believers, we're constantly told to "trust God" because His will is always for our good. Plenty of bestselling books and famous preachers have reenforced adages that echo the words of the prophet Jeremiah: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (29:11)
But, the truths about God's most sovereign plans and purposes go much deeper than we realize. Listen right here as we discover six incredible truths about God's plans and purposes.
All Christmas long we’ll be discovering who Jesus really is and why He left the glory of Heaven to come to earth. From the depth of His sacrifice and greatness of His power to His most sufficient purposes and plans, this is a God who we stand in awe of each and every day, not just at Christmas time. And it’s our hope and prayer that you’ll join us on this extraordinary encounter every Sunday in December as we “Behold Our God.”

The New Testament is filled with stories of Jesus' interactions with so-called "religious" people. On the outside, these folks appeared to have it all together, but when confronted by Jesus, they often find themselves lacking the knowledge and relational abilities that they so piously espouse. Of course, the Pharisees are prime examples! Listen as we look at a few aspects of pharisaically religious people and how we can avoid falling into the trap of exuding those traits ourselves!
Administrative Pastor Jay Collier fills in on Pastor Stan's "Our Church" series with a look at how the personhood and identity of Christ affects our daily lives as believers.
One of the healthiest things that a local church can do is preach the Word of God and expect it to work. Scriptures give us all we need to know for life and all the principles we need for decision-making.
As believers, we all know that we should be attending and contributing to our local church body. But, have you ever paused to reflect on the priorities of the Church? What exactly is the Church supposed to be doing in and for the community and how can we practically carry out that mission? Believe it or not, when we live worthy of the Gospel, we are able to unify ourselves for the glory of Christ and His Kingdom!
One of the core values of a good and healthy church is a big fancy term referred to as "discipleship." But what does this word actually entail and how can you better understand the principles behind it?
What is the Gospel? How can you know the difference between the true Gospel and the dozens of false gospels that permeate our modern American culture? Join us right here for part 4 of Pastor Stan’s series “Our Church.”
As a part of the Body of Christ, you are a witness of what Jesus has done in your own life and the life of the Church! What's your personal testimony supposed to look like? How did the greatest testimonies of the New Testament come to be? Why do they continue to have such a lasting impact hundreds of thousands of years later? In part three of Pastor Stan's ongoing series "Our Church" we dive head first into some amazing truths about New Testament testimonies and how to share your faith in just a few sentences!
Take a moment to ponder the following: Why does Northside gather? Why do local churches like ours even bother getting together on Sundays, Wednesdays, and throughout the week for groups and activities? Why do we meet corporately and in homes? Is it just for some warm fuzzies and social interaction or is there a deeper value to what we do?
Today, Pastor Stan will launch a brand new series exploring the wondrous beauty and eternal value of the local church. When Christ left the Earth, He commissioned the disciples to institute The Church. And The Church is the hope of the world and God's plan until Christ returns.
So what's your role in this epic journey?
