    based on 224 ratings
     | 191,452 views

    The Lord’s Prayer was not given to be just be recited as a ritual. It is actually given to us as the Lord’s blueprint for prayer that is acceptable to God.

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 28 “Lord Teach Us to Pray” Luke 11:1-4 Almost all of our prayers begin by rushing into a series of request in which we pour out to God our problems, our needs, our irritations. This only tends ...read more

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 29, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,692 views

    When praying for God’s will and kingdom to come, we are actually asking God to use us. We submit to his authority.

    When we look at Jesus’ ministry, particularly from the gospel of Luke, we find one of the single most important practices in Jesus’ life was prayer. Luke’s gospel tells us he “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed (Luke 5:16).” Prayer was Jesus’ regular practice, but what did Jesus pray? We ...read more

    Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 11, 2012
     | 4,644 views

    In this message we look at the need for boundaries in the lives of our children. Not only do children need boundaries, they actually want them.

    “Boundaries for our Kids” Ephesians 6:1-4 For me when I was growing up there was not a better show on television than the Andy Griffith show. And one of my favorite characters was Ron Howard, AKA Opie. I never missed an episode of that show. Just a couple of years ago Ross was ...read more

     | 57,032 views

    Believing is fine, intending to is fine, but it’s actually what you do that makes the difference. Application makes all the difference.

    [For the video elements associated with this sermon, please visit http://store.northpoint.org/life-apps-starter-kit.html.] Well, I’m really excited about this new series.

    The M-Words: Miracle And Magic

    Contributed by Casey Campbell on Feb 23, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,233 views

    This is actually more of a devotional reflection that could be re-worked into a sermon. It is about how miracles are different from magic, and why that matters.

    This is day number 26 in the hospital with my eleven year old daughter who is recovering from two major/radical brain surgeries associated with her epilepsy, and, believe it or not, I’ve had a lot of time lately to think about the “m-words.” I was writing a little earlier in the ...read more

    What must it have been like to have actually carried the cross Jesus died on, for Him, up to Calvary's hill?

    A CROSS IN MY BELLY A Monologue of Simon of Cyrene Introduction There are several Simons in the New Testament. Two of them were called by Jesus to be His disciples. One was Simon Peter and the other one was Simon the Zealot. One of Jesus’ half-brothers, son of both Mary and Joseph, was named ...read more

    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on May 1, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,082 views

    How long will it take us to not only listen to the voice of Christ; but also, to act like we actually hear Christ speak?

    How Long? John 10: 22 - 30 Intro: One of the hymns I remember from my childhood came to me when I read this passage of scripture. It is “How Long Has It Been.” The opening words of the hymn are “How long has it been since you talked with the Lord . . .” I connected ...read more

    I begin with a show and tell on actual fruits that can teach us spiritual truths about the fruits of the Spirit, and then teach on gentleness.

    The Fruit of the Spirit is Gentleness PPT 1 Series Title We began this series a few weeks ago and in our first message I talked about how God has chosen us to bear much fruit, and that we ought to bear the most fruit with the people we are around the most.

     | 13,407 views

    A reflection on the appropriateness of thanksgiving and glorifying God, even in the midst of intense personal suffering. Contrasted with the First World expectation of self-actualization.

    Genesis 2:4-25, Ps 126, Matthew 6:25-33 “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, —What shall we eat?’ or —What ...read more

    We believe in God's Miracle Working Power. We spent more time waiting for the miracle than actually seeing it.

    What Do You Do When You Can’t Make it Rain? 1 Kings 17:1-7 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2 And the word of the LORD ...read more

    Faith And Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Oct 7, 2019
     | 3,520 views

    This sermon is how faith "the size of a mustard seed" actually gives us the ability to offer forgiveness to others.

    "Faith and Forgiveness" Allow me to begin today with some self-disclosure: I do not understand exactly what faith is, or how it works. But I have a couple of ideas from the lesson that might be helpful. More on that in a moment, but first I’ve got to share some humor. Have you ever ...read more
