In a “Connect the Dots puzzle”, the dots are numbered. It’s often easy to understand what the next step should be to complete the pattern. In connecting life’s dots, it doesn’t come that easy, right? The real question in applying wisdom is: How do I get God’s guidance?

Join us for an interactive service of discussion on the recent sermon series “Connect the Dots: The Significance of Wisdom”. We will hear from a range of Northsiders on the insights they have gained from this series.

Wisdom is not having a technique that helps you make right choices and decisions. It’s having character of the mind and the heart that enables you to make the right choices in the places where the rules don’t apply. The question now is: How do you get that character? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Connect the Dots Reading: Proverbs 4:11-27 (NIV)

There are decisions we need to make in every area of our lives...work, family, relationships, friendships. However, if we don't make those decisions wisely, we'll blow up the lives of the people around us and even ourselves. Therefore making a right or good decision is not enough…we need to be wise. The question is then, how do we get wisdom? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Connect the Dots Reading: Proverbs 3.1-12 (NIV)

In world full of complex realities… is just 'being good' what you really need the most? What happens when multiple good decisions could be made? How do you know which one? Now you are seeing the significance of wisdom. In this new series, Sam Haddon will explore the nature of wisdom, and how it helps us 'Connect the Dots.'

Graham will take questions from the congregation as well as present the second part of his message on what he believes to be the vital components of a healthy and vibrant local church in the 21st Century... Series: In Conclusion Pt 2 Speaker: Graham Agnew

Jesus stands unmistakably as the pivotal person of human history. One third of the world's population have some allegiance to Him, or at least give assent to His teachings. But in a world where religious tolerance reigns supreme and many faiths compete for peoples attention, it can be challenging to make assertions about the uniqueness of Christ. Cont. Series: In Case You Missed It - Week 4: Jesus Christ is incomparable Speaker: Graham Agnew Reading: Colossians 1:15 - 23 (GNT)

On this, his second last Sunday as Senior Pastor of our church, Graham will present a message based on what he believes to be the vital components of a healthy and vibrant local church in the 21st Century... Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Conclusion - Part 1

Some wise person once said: "The Church of Jesus Christ is the only organisation in the world that exists primarily for the benefit of non-members". It's a clever way of stating the primary task of the Christian Church is to reach out to others in love, care, compassion and service. The call of Christ to "Go..." is more urgent today than ever! Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Case You Missed It Week 3: The Call To Serve is inescapable Reading: James 2:14 – 24 (GNT)

What do you do when you are not sure of what lies ahead? Abraham had greatness in the face of a completely uncertain future. He had no idea what was coming, and yet he lived a life of greatness, a big life. How can we? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Trusting the Unseen - Faith As Commitment Reading: Hebrews 11

A recurring theme throughout the pages of the Bible - and especially in the teachings of Jesus, is that of unity. Jesus prayed for His disciples and pleaded with His Father "that they might be one". The Body of Christ is always at it's most effective when there's harmony and unity among its members. Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Case You Missed It Week 2: The Strength of Unity is Incalculable

Trusting The Unseen – Faith as Conviction Some people, when faced with tough circumstances, are crushed, while some on the other hand emerge even stronger. How do you live a life of such centredness and balance, fearlessness and greatness, that you can face anything? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Trusting the Unseen - Faith As… Week 2: Faith As Conviction

During his 16 years of ministry at Northside, a number of themes have kept recurring in Graham’s weekly sermons. In this, his final series as Senior Pastor, Graham re-visits four of those themes as a way of reinforcing to the Northside congregation what he believes to be the essential truths of Christianity. There’s not been a time in recent history, when the Church in Australia has experienced more criticism and derision than it is right now. It raises the question: “What is the future of the Church in this country?” Graham will leave us in no doubt as to where he believes the Church is heading.
