Northside Church - Sydney

The world we live in screams in pain at every turn, and the Scripture is clear that God’s people are called to engage by living justly. But is Christian social justice simply doing good things, rallying and protesting, and giving our money to good causes? Or could it be something broader and deeper and wider – participating in an eternal project of restoration that finds its genesis in the heart of God? Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: Isaiah 58:6-9 (TNIV)

In an increasingly globalised world, the realities of disparity and injustice have become ever clearer. At the same time, the scale of humanity’s inequities can seem too big for a person to exert a significant influence. In this new series, we ask what if you saw social justice as the opportunity to simply “Put Things Right - Where you are”? Reading: James 2:15-17 (TNIV)

Guest Speaker: Graeme Innes, former Australian Human Rights & Disability Discrimination Commissioner.

It’s not quite accurate to refer to sin only as a list of the “bad things” people do. It’s far more than that. Under every person is a dynamic that if left unchecked can lead to much of the strife we have been observing in the world around us. What is that dynamic and why does it seem to be more prevalent amongst the religious? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Jonah 2:7–3:5; 3:10–4:11 (TNIV)

There is a bumper sticker floating out there on cars that says “Not perfect, just forgiven”. Of course it’s true of the Christian… but is it slightly misleading. The news of Christianity says we’re not perfect… but the better news is we’re not meant to stay that way. In this final message of the series, we’ll ask “can you overcome what lurks beneath and if so … how?” Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Psalm 51.1-10 (TNIV)

Mass Shootings. Terrorism. Intolerance. Racism. We’re seeking to answer the question “What is going on with the Human Race?” The Bible’s perspective says this thing called Sin sits beneath it all. Yet sin is more than just a list of “bad deeds”. What does it mean to see sin as a Stalker? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Genesis 4:3-12 (TNIV)

Sin. It’s a word that makes everyone flinch. For the non-Christian it’s exactly what’s wrong with Religion…that teaching that says everyone is no good. For the Christian, they are aware of it, yet often misunderstand it. It’s more than just good deeds vs. bad deeds. So, what of our view of sin is way too “2-dimensional”? More importantly what if the Christian understanding of sin provides one of the most powerful answers for the major problems of the world today? Join us for this new series as we uncover and explain “What lurks beneath”. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: 1 Samuel 15:12-23

The life of faith in Jesus is one of ongoing dialogue with him as he draws us to himself, helps us to experience his love, and involves us in his redemptive work so that others might experience the same. In this series we’ll look at the remarkable biblical story of one person’s conversation with Jesus in order that our own might be enriched. Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: John 4:27-42 NIV

Whilst faith begins with thinking, it completes itself with actions. Join us next Sunday as Northsiders Simon & Clare Fish share their Stories of Faith and Sam wraps up this impacting series.

How do we know we’re people of Faith? That is, how can we be sure we’ve become people who are not mastered by our circumstances? One sure sign is that you will live a life that overflows with generosity. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Hebrews 13:1-6 (TNIV)

What happens if even after the principles and the prayer, life doesn’t seem like it will change and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? Is it possible to be a person who can simply endure? What does it mean to have a “Patent Faith” Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Hebrews 11:23-29 (TNIV)

No one wants to go through hard times or be pushed out of their comfort zone, yet what if that is a key way in which your faith grows? And what if the only way to master your circumstances is through a big faith? Could it be possible the Bible provides a dynamic whereby, the trials in your life can transform you rather than crush you? How does that work? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Hebrews 11:8-10 (TNIV)

How can you live a life of power so circumstances and events and troubles don’t master you, but rather you master them? Everybody wants to live that kind of life. The Bible calls that a life of faith. In this new series we'll look at the key principles as to how it could work itself out in your life.
