Through the healing of a crippled man in Acts 3, we see Jesus’ heart for the individual and the power of the Gospel to transform lives. However, opposition arises in Acts 4, marking the beginning of Christian persecution, a challenge that still exists today. #RiseUp #BookOfActs #FaithInAction #GospelTransformation #JesusChangesLives

Pastor Nick discusses the human longing for justice but emphasizes that true healing, repentance, and renewal come through Jesus, not just fairness. Acts 3:11-26 illustrates how Jesus, the "Author of Life," brings transformation, as seen in the miraculous healing of a man. God's work throughout history has been to restore and redeem humanity, offering wholeness through His grace. #GraceOverJustice #HealingInJesus #FaithAndRenewal #Acts3 #AuthorOfLife

Pastor Damian introduces the second part of the "Rise" journey, focusing on the Book of Acts, where Jesus ascends, and the Holy Spirit empowers the early church. He highlights the healing of a lame man by Peter and John, emphasizing the transformative power of miracles in Jesus' name. The message encourages seeing this event from the perspective of the healed man and recognizing the ongoing impact of faith today. #RiseJourney #BookOfActs #HolySpiritPower #FaithInAction #MiraclesInJesusName

Speaker: Scott Harris, Lead PastorThe rise of the church, as seen in Acts, began with the Holy Spirit’s powerful arrival, uniting believers in devotion to Jesus’ teachings, fellowship, and prayer. The early church shared everything, lived in unity, and grew daily, embodying Christ’s mission as the bride of Christ. This message challenges believers to not just know Scripture but to live it out as the foundation of their faith. #RiseOfTheChurch #ActsOfTheApostles #HolySpiritPower #LiveTheWord #BrideOfChrist

Speaker: Scott Harris, Lead PastorThis message emphasizes the ongoing nature of the Book of Acts, highlighting that the church is still active in fulfilling its purpose today. The sermon focuses on Pentecost, the birth of the church, and the powerful coming of the Holy Spirit, which led to people miraculously hearing the Gospel in their own languages. Some were amazed by this event, while others mocked it, suggesting the followers of Jesus were drunk. This skepticism mirrors modern criticisms of Christianity, such as claims that the Bible is untrustworthy or that faith is merely a crutch. Peter, once fearful and denying Jesus, boldly stands before thousands and delivers the first Christian sermon. He defends the gospel’s trustworthiness by anchoring it in prophecy, specifically referencing the prophet Joel. Peter explains that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit fulfills Joel’s prophecy, demonstrating that God's plan is unfolding as foretold. This connection between prophecy and the Gospel reassures believers that their faith is well-founded and encourages them to trust in God's word. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to step into their faith, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and continue God's work in the world.

Nick Steinloski, a pastor at North Shore, emphasizes praxis—applying theology in daily life—and explores the Book of Acts, focusing on the disciples’ obedience in waiting for the Holy Spirit. He highlights Pentecost as a pivotal moment of transformation, especially in Peter, who goes from denying Jesus to boldly preaching. He poses three key questions for reflection: What is our position? What is our response? How do others respond? #FaithInAction #HolySpiritPower #BookOfActs #Pentecost #SpiritualTransformation

Speaker: Damian Thompson, Online & Outreach PastorPastor Damian Thompson continues teaching in the sermon series on the book of Acts, focusing on being "Empowered by the Holy Spirit" and trusting God's plan, timing, and leadership. He reflects on the disciples’ obedience to Jesus’ command to wait in Jerusalem despite fear and uncertainty, highlighting their unity and faith as they processed the absence of both Jesus and Judas. The message challenges believers to trust, obey, and remain devoted in prayer through life’s uncertainties. #FaithInAction #TrustGodsPlan #EmpoweredByTheSpirit #ObedienceInWaiting #UnityInChrist

Speaker: Scott Harris, Lead PastorIn Acts 1, the Ascension of Jesus marks the completion of God's rescue plan, signifying victory over sin and death. The promise of Christ’s return, as foretold by angels, frames the church's mission to spread the gospel until He comes again. Believers are called to rise and do the work of God between these two pivotal moments.#Ascension #ChristReturn #GreatCommission #RescuePlan #ChurchMission

Speaker: Dr. Sanjay Merchant, Adjunct Teaching PastorThe sermon series Rise delves into the Book of Acts, tracing the apostles' journey and the early church's growth over 11 months, beginning with Acts 1:1-8. Authored by Luke, Acts builds on his Gospel, offering a chronological account of the church's expansion and the apostles' ministry. The Gospels are interrelated, with Mark as the earliest, followed by Matthew and Luke for specific audiences, and John providing a later, unique perspective.#RiseSeries #BookOfActs #EarlyChurch #GospelNarratives #LukeAndActs

Speaker: Dave Wallace, ElderThe message focuses on Hebrews 12:2, urging believers to "fix their eyes on Jesus" and persevere in faith like runners in a race. The preacher compares Christ's perfection to the Old Testament symbols, encouraging the audience to remain steadfast through hardships by paying attention to Christ's teachings, exhorting one another, and holding to sound doctrine. The analogy reminds believers of the eternal stakes of their faith, calling them to endure with unwavering commitment. #FixYourEyesOnJesus #FaithfulLiving #Hebrews12 #StaySteadfast #RunTheRace

Speaker: Nick Steinloski, Executive Pastor of MinistriesThis message focuses on Deuteronomy 6 and its teachings on discipleship. The speaker highlights the importance of the "Shema," a prayer that remains central to Jewish practice, recited twice daily. Within Deuteronomy 6:1–6, Moses presents foundational principles for discipleship, emphasizing the need to love God with all one's heart, soul, and strength. The sermon outlines three key areas for cultivating discipleship: personal spiritual growth, family investment, and active participation in the faith community.The speaker identifies a "discipleship crisis" in America, citing research that reveals alarming trends of young people abandoning their faith, often as early as age 13. Factors contributing to this include a lack of personal ownership of faith and diminished connection to the church. This crisis prompts a call to action for individuals, families, and faith communities to prioritize discipleship. The speaker underscores that these efforts must begin with personal reflection and commitment, as love for God serves as the central bond uniting all aspects of discipleship. The urgency of addressing this issue is clear, with practical strategies offered to strengthen relationships with God, nurture faith within families, and build supportive, thriving faith communities that equip the next generation to remain steadfast in their beliefs.

Speaker: Damian Thompson, Online & Outreach PastorLuke 2 narrates the birth of Jesus, beginning with a Roman census requiring Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem, Joseph’s ancestral home as a descendant of King David. In Bethlehem, Mary gives birth to Jesus and lays him in a manger due to a lack of lodging. Bethlehem's significance is rooted in prophecy and history, being the city of King David and the foretold birthplace of the Messiah as prophesied by Micah. This fulfills centuries of anticipation by Israel for a Savior who would bring peace, justice, and restoration.Matthew 2 highlights the arrival of wise men seeking the "King of the Jews," which incites King Herod’s paranoia. Herod orders the massacre of Bethlehem’s male infants to eliminate the threat, forcing Joseph, Mary, and Jesus to flee to Egypt for safety, making them refugees. This flight draws a poignant parallel to modern-day refugees seeking safety from persecution and conflict. After Herod’s death, Joseph’s family returns to Israel and settles in Nazareth, an unremarkable and poor village with no prior religious or historical significance. Jesus' upbringing in humble Nazareth contrasts with His divine purpose, emphasizing how extraordinary things arise from ordinary places. The narrative ties prophecies, historical context, and modern relevance, reminding readers of God’s care for all, especially the vulnerable.

In this sermon series, we've explored different aspects of longing, beginning with Dr. Sanjay’s reflection on longing for the Messiah and Pastor Scott’s talk on longing for Emmanuel. Today, the focus shifts to longing for the child, as we look at Isaiah chapter 9. Longing often arises from wanting something we don't have or mourning what we've lost, which can lead to joy or sorrow depending on whether our desires are fulfilled. Unfulfilled longing, as Proverbs 13:12 says, can lead to heartache, cynicism, and even loss of hope. In the dark times of the past, the people of Judah were immersed in fear, despair, and oppression, as they turned away from God and sought help from worldly powers, leading to their suffering. Isaiah 9 promises a "great light" will shine on them, a prophecy fulfilled through Jesus, born in the land of Zebulun and Naphtali, regions once shrouded in darkness. This Savior, described in Isaiah 9:6 as "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," brings hope and light to a world in darkness, fulfilling the promise of God’s enduring presence and peace. The people, who had walked in darkness, now see this great light, and the joy of their salvation is compared to the joy of a bountiful harvest. This prophecy is not only a promise for ancient Israel but also a message that Jesus, as the light of the world, continues to dwell in the hearts of believers today, offering hope and restoration.

Speaker: Scott Harris, Lead PastorScott Harris, Lead Pastor, begins by discussing the process of planning a Christmas series, which he starts thinking about months in advance. His wife suggests a theme of "longing," which immediately resonates with him and sparks an emotional reflection on the deep desire for Jesus seen throughout Scripture. The series will focus on Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah, particularly from Isaiah 7, which highlights the theme of longing for Emmanuel. The speaker explains the historical setting of Isaiah, where Israel and Judah are divided, and Judah faces the threat of attack from Israel and Syria. King Ahaz of Judah, lacking faith and character, succumbs to fear and aligns with the evil Assyrian empire, even offering tribute from the temple to secure their protection. The speaker emphasizes how fear and adversity reveal one's character, citing examples from life, including marriage and personal struggles, where true character is exposed in times of difficulty. The narrative highlights the contrast between Ahaz's failure and the deeper longing for God's intervention and the coming of the Messiah.

Speaker: Dr. Sanjay Merchant, Adjunct Teaching PastorThe new sermon series focuses on the "longing" for a coming King, exploring the prophecies of the Old Testament, specifically through the lenses of Hosea and Isaiah, and their messages about this promised King. These prophets, from the 8th century BC, speak of an "Anointed One"—the Messiah (or Christ)—who would fulfill God's promises to His people. In Hosea 3, the prophet uses the metaphor of Hosea's troubled marriage to Gomer to illustrate Israel's unfaithfulness to God and their coming period of exile. Despite their sin, God promises redemption, symbolized by Hosea's eventual reconciliation with Gomer, pointing to the future return of the Israelites to their God and the coming of a perfect descendant of David, a new King, who would restore their relationship with God.Isaiah 11 expands on this vision, prophesying a new King from the "stump of Jesse" (David's father), who will embody God's spirit, wisdom, righteousness, and judgment. This King is both a descendant (the shoot) and the origin (the root) of David, signifying a divine ruler who will bring peace and justice. The passage emphasizes that this King will be unlike previous leaders, who often led Israel astray into pagan practices, instead faithfully embodying God's character. The ultimate fulfillment of these prophecies is seen in the New Testament, where Jesus is revealed as the true Messiah, fulfilling both the legal and biological lines of David, and offering the eternal kingship promised in 2 Samuel 7.Through these prophecies, the series highlights the longing for a true, righteous King who will bring peace, justice, and restoration, ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel and the world.

Speaker: Josh Rogers, Worship Arts PastorToday marks the conclusion of the "Names of God" series, and we're reflecting on how these names have impacted our faith over the past ten weeks. The series has deepened our understanding of God’s character, helping us connect more personally with His attributes such as Jehovah Jireh (our provider), Jehovah Rohi (our shepherd), and Jehovah Shalom (our peace). Many have found that these names have shaped their prayer life and perspective, especially during challenging seasons. One worship team member shared how, during a season of pruning, they have found comfort in God's names like El Shaddai (God Almighty) and Jehovah Shalom, trusting in His goodness despite difficult circumstances. This series has encouraged us to grow and be transformed by the truth of who God is.As we reflect on what we've learned, we remember that God's revealed names are not separate roles He plays, but facets of His unchanging nature. These names, from Yahweh (I Am) to Jehovah, show us that God is always fully who He is, even if different aspects of Him are revealed in different seasons. This brings us to the final name of the series, Jehovah Nissi—"The Lord is my Banner." Today, we’ll explore this name through the story in Exodus 17, where God’s provision and protection are displayed.

View Details

Speaker: Damian Thompson, Online & Outreach PastorIn today's discussion, the focus is on the name Jehovah Rohi, meaning "The Lord is my Shepherd," drawn from Psalm 23 and John 10. The term Jehovah refers to God, while Rohi (from the Hebrew ra or rohe) means to feed, tend, or lead to pasture, ultimately signifying a shepherd. The name is first referenced in Genesis 48:15, where Jacob refers to God as his shepherd, a theme echoed throughout Scripture, including in Psalms, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. Jehovah Rohi is seen as one who guides, leads, and protects His people, as exemplified in the famous Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." This opening statement prepares believers to receive all that Jehovah Rohi offers, ensuring that they lack nothing.The Lord provides direction, leading His people to rest and peace, as described in verse 2 of Psalm 23, where God makes us "lie down in green pastures" and "leads me beside still waters." This represents rest and security, counteracting the rush of life. Additionally, Jehovah Rohi restores the soul, as noted in verse 3, offering healing and guidance along "paths of righteousness" for His name's sake. Restoration is vital because only that which is broken needs restoring. The Lord's guidance is especially needed for those who have wandered or lost their way, helping them return to the right and holy paths.

In Genesis 22, God tests Abraham by instructing him to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. Obediently, Abraham sets out for Mount Moriah with Isaac and two young men, demonstrating his faith despite the emotional turmoil of the impending sacrifice. During their journey, which takes three days, Abraham grapples with his feelings about sacrificing his only heir, a promise from God that he had waited for many years. When they arrive, Abraham builds an altar and prepares to sacrifice Isaac, but an angel intervenes, stopping him and confirming Abraham's faithfulness. Instead, God provides a ram caught in a thicket for the sacrifice. This event leads Abraham to name the location "Jehovah Jireh," meaning "The Lord will provide." Finally, God reaffirms His promise to Abraham, declaring that his descendants will be numerous and blessed, underscoring the significance of faith and obedience in divine testing.

The discussion centers on the name of God, specifically Yahweh, which has significant relational meaning. Yahweh is introduced in Scripture and represents a personal connection with God. After the Babylonian captivity, the Hebrew people began to revere God's name so deeply that they replaced Yahweh with Adonai during public readings. This shift meant that when they encountered Yahweh, they would instead say Adonai, which incorporates vowels from that title to signify respect. Adonai translates to "Lord" and conveys authority and sovereignty, emphasizing God as the highest ruler. In Deuteronomy 10:17, God is described as "God of gods and Lord of lords," reinforcing His supreme power. The personalized form, represented in English translations as "Lord" (with a capital L and lowercase o), highlights a relational aspect, akin to a father-child dynamic, emphasizing not just God's position but also His intimate relationship with believers.Speaker: Scott Harris, Lead Pastor

Speaker: Shane HawelyViewing the world through a "God-colored lens," emphasizes how our experiences shape our perspectives. Critical incidents and trauma can significantly affect how we see others. Romans 12:1-2 highlights the importance of transformation and avoiding conformity to worldly views. Pride can lead to judgment, as illustrated in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14), along with teachings from Philippians 2:3 and Romans 12:16, which advocate for humility. Hardened hearts can obscure our recognition of others' humanity, as seen in the story of Pharaoh (Exodus 7-13). However, the light of Christ offers hope, affirming that no one is beyond redemption (John 1:5). Jesus is presented as the solution for healing hardened hearts, encouraging us to view others through His lens. Finally, the call to action is to embrace the love of God and recognize our identity as His children (1 John 3:1).

In today's church message, the focus is on the name El Roi, explored through Genesis 16. The name's first part, "El," is a common term for God in Semitic languages, which include those historically spoken by the peoples of Mesopotamia, Arabia, and Ethiopia. The term signifies "the strong one." The latter part, "Roi," has three interpretations: seeing, my seeing, and the one who sees me. The emphasis is on the last definition, which reflects a personal experience of Hagar, highlighting God’s attention and protection. Nahum Sarna, a biblical translator, adds depth by suggesting that the various meanings of El Roi are intended to be understood simultaneously. This creates a rich understanding of God as the one who sees—both universally and personally—inviting the congregation to embrace this multifaceted perspective.
