Northside Church - Sydney

A Word In Season The Bible talks about the "word in season" - a message of encouragement designed to lift up and spur one another in the faith.  This Sunday, Edwina Blair will be bringing a message designed to do just that as the Northside Family begin the transition into a new season of Kingdom effectiveness. Speaker: Edwina Blair

Correlate: To The World We've seen too many news stories of what can happen when a religious minority takes it upon themselves to enforce their view on the majority. How should a modern Christian relate to the world around them, whether people believe or not? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Correlate (3/5) Reading: Romans 13:1-4 (NIV)

"These Three Remain…" - A Celebration of Love Years ago the Beatles had a hit song entitled "All You Need is Love" and given the Bible asserts that God is Love, Christians would agree, Love IS all we need. The question is: how can we best express that love to one another? Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: "These Three Remain..." - A Celebration of Faith, Hope and Love... (3/3) Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (GNT)

Correlate: To Friend and Enemy Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse? Is the bible "for real" or an ideal? How do you relate to people you really don't like, and yet still be sincere…. Is it even possible? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Correlate (2/5) Reading: Romans 12:9-16 (NIV)

"These Three Remain…" - A Celebration of Hope Many surveys conducted among young people around the world indicate they are deficient when it comes to Hope; they don't see a lot of hope for the future and they aren't confident about their prospects for long-term happiness. In light of this, the Christian Church has its workd cut out in helping people to discuss the Hope which is so central to God's Good News in Jesus. Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: "These Three Remain…" - A Celebration of Faith, Hope and Love... (2/3) Reading: Romans 5: 1-5 (GNT)

Correlate: To God and Church From the moment we are born we are, thrust into relationship. We humans are relational beings… that is we are designed to be around others, and yet throughout life, that can be half the battle! In this new series, well explore why the message of Jesus effects how we relate to God, each other and the world around us. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Correlate (1/5) Reading: Romans 12:1-8 (NIV)

"These Three Remain…" - A Celebration of Faith A little boy once told his Kids Church teacher that faith was "believing in something when you know it isn't true!" Many people tend to think like that, whereas when the Bible talks about faith it's referring to belief in  something we know to be true, but which has a huge element of risk and unpredictability about it! Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: "These Three Remain…" - A Celebration of Faith, Hope and Love... (1/3) Reading: Hebrews 11: 1-6 (GNT)

Paul's conversion on the Damascus Road is one of the most spectacular in the New Testament. During the experience he saw a powerful light from Heaven and actually heard the voice of God speaking! Now that is the kind of call most of us would love to receive...!

As we draw our series on the Holy Spirit to a close, we'll gain some insight into the way the "Other Guy" has been working amongst our community.

Jonah provides one of the most intriguing case studies of all the Bible characters, who had received a direct call from God. He was strongly resistant to the voice of God, tried to escape but ultimately had success with his mission.

They are constantly a point of confusion, even contention amongst Christians. They were back then. They are today. What are “Spiritual Gifts” and how does the Holy Spirit use them for the purposes of blessing the church and world around us? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Discovering the Guy behind Christianity (6/6) Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (NIV)

Very few leaders in the Bible faced more hardship, setbacks and pain than Moses. However, in the midst of it all he discovered levels of faith and resilience he never dreamed possible. His example is an inspiration to us all. Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: God Calls Abraham (2/3) Reading: Exodus 3:1-6

Do you know what it’s like to be filled with joy? Do you experience genuine peace regardless of your life circumstances? Do you consistently respond with kindness no matter what you receive from others? Who does! Yet, we sometimes get so caught up in everything God wants us to do, that we lose sight of who God wants us to be. Do you know the difference? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Discovering the Guy behind Christianity (5/6) Reading: John 14:16-26 (NIV)

Speaker: Graham Agnew New Series: The Calling Week 1: God Calls Abraham Abraham was an old man when God called him to leave the comfort & prosperity of his homeland & become the “father of a great nation”. The call of God in this instance involved risk, trust, courage & determination – all necessary requirements when responding to God and taking the work of the Kingdom seriously. Reading: Genesis 12:1-9 (GNT)

It’s winter. Not sure if this happens to you – but no matter how hot you run the heaters, the house cools down eventually. So too does your spiritual life… unless you keep fueling it. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Discovering the Guy behind Christianity (4/6) Reading: Ephesians 5: 15-21 (NIV)

On one occasion the disciples were enquiring about the "rewards" they might be able to expect as a result of following Jesus. The answer given by our Lord seems to be in conflict with some of His teaching on humility and servanthood. He told them: "Many who are now first will be last and many who are now last will be first..." How are we to interpret these words in the modern context? Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: Did Jesus Really Say That? (3/3) Reading: Mark 10: 23-31 (GNT)

Did you ever have some one say don’t do that, you know better? In this message we’ll see that Christians have the freedom to do “whatever the heck we want” and yet should we? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Discovering the Guy behind Christianity (3/6) Reading: Romans 8:12-17 (NIV)

At one time, Jesus said some very harsh things to a group of would-be followers who, on the surface at least, seemed to have valid reasons for delaying their response to Him. One man wanted to “bury his father” but Jesus told him to “let the dead bury their dead…” Why would Jesus say such a thing and what are the implications for 21st Century disciples? Reading: Luke 9: 57-62 (GNT) Series: Did Jesus Really Say That? (2/3) Speaker: Graham Agnew

Christianity is not a set of rules or regulations… it's a power. A power that changes you from the inside out. How does "The Other Guy" make that happen?
