North Point Baptist Church Sermons

In this sermon and from this passage, Pastor John Musyimi explains that sometimes a problem is God's solution. In this instance, when God sends a harmful spirit to torment Saul, He is advancing the plans of His kingdom forward. We are asked to consider if what presents as a Satanic problem is God's way of bringing about spiritual progress.

In our day to day lives, we often follow a pattern of identifying need, finding a suitable answer or plan to solve the need, and applying the answer or enacting the plan to address the need. In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Pastor Musyimi guides us through showing us how God pointed out to Samuel that Israel had a need for a king, how Samuel judged Jesse's sons based on outward appearance while God looked at...

Compromise runs rampant in our world today where we compromise what we know we ought to do for the sake of some desirable outcome. However, this cannot run with God. In this passage in 1 Samuel, Saul compromises obedience to God for his selfish pursuits. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, therefore seeks to show us that clear obedience to God is safer than qualified disobedience!

As in marriage where couples are encouraged to fight in a manner that honors their spouses, so in Christianity the Bible encourages us to fight the good fight of faith well. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where we see Saul who, in an unfortunate regard, did not fight well. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us that the fight of faith should be fought with fa...

Words matter! Words spoken can either cause harm or good to others. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where Saul's rash words caused a whole load of harm to the men of Israel. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that hasty words make a hard world until words of truth redeem it!

Crises happen in our lives without warning or prediction. We may find ourselves in tough situations where the temptation is to run and hide since the trials we face seem determined to make an end of us mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and/or physiologically. When we notice our temptation is to shut down or run away like Elijah, Pastor James Choi implores us to remember that God is near even...

Preaching from God's timeless and unchanging Word as recorded in Hebrews 3:7-19, Pastor Richard Chege reveals that at the root of Israel's rebellion, was not their circumstances, but their heart. He reminds the church of its responsibility to call one another to faith, obedience and perseverance, noting that the latter is a visible evidence of genuine faith. North Point Baptist Church exists as a...

Authority, as seen from an early age with toddlers, is seen as a tough journey of unwilling submission for some. At the same time, we have often seen authority being misused by some who have been in authority, all of this giving us a skewed view of power. However, the gospel presents a liberating solution to this. Pastor Alfred Ndoro, in this sermon, seeks to show us that a humble obedience under...

In His continuation on the sermon on the mount from chapters 5 and 6, Matthew 7 expounds on Jesus' instructions as we engage God in prayer. Having defined the substance of our prayers in chapter 6 which ultimately should be His Kingdom, this passage gives us a guideline for how we ought to approach God in prayer. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda seeks to encourage us in this sermon that as we pray, we should...

A child grows up growing in unconditional trust in their parent because of the provisions they give. The child develops a certainty and security of their daily life in that they don’t question or have a concern for what may come; whether good or bad. Matthew 6:25-34 challenges the Christian to the command of not being anxious and an instruction on seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness....

What is our hope against a holy judge? A judge who cannot be arm-twisted or bribed, one who is perfectly righteous and perfectly just! When sinners, because of their sins, need acquittal before God the Judge, Jesus steps in as their worthy advocate. Mark Ben Thuku, in this sermon, seeks to show us that Jesus is our only defense before the Father!

What does it mean to fellowship with God? In this passage in 1 John, after the apostle explains what our fellowship ought to be in the first four verses, he goes on to explain what that fellowship entails. The same way two people who are not in agreement cannot walk together, it’s the same aspect with God. Mark Ben Thuku in this sermon seeks to show us that fellowshipping with the light means walk...

How can men know God? Where can they find Him? This is what meets us in this passage in the epistle of John where he defines the true foundation of fellowship with God. Mark Ben Thuku seeks to explicate in this sermon that the testimony of the incarnation is the beginning of true fellowship with God!

In a world that is pegged on operating on high equilibriums of trust, we often find ourselves in a perplexing state of whether to trust someone or not to. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where Jonathan displays a high level of trust in God whereas Saul shrinks of this and seeks to take matters into his own hands. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that God want...

This famous passage in Acts 6 meets us with the plaguing question of what to do with growth in various facets in our walks, and especially, as shown in the text, in the church. This is what faced the early church and still is a matter to handle now. Josphat Macharia, in this sermon, seeks to show us that a pleased and unified commitment to the gospel will keep our church!

Our desires that are rooted in this world have proven to be contrary to what God calls us to. This is what meets us in this passage in James where we see that anything rooted outside God cannot please and ultimately destroys. Isaac, in this sermon, seeks to show us the deceptiveness of worldly and selfish desires and encourages us to submit to God not to selfish desires!

In this passage in 1 Samuel we meet a fairly understandable circumstance that happened to Saul, one that can be easily applied in our day and age. Him facing the pressure of the Philistine opponents and fleeing armies, he decides to take matters into his own hands which ultimately results in catastrophe. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that pressure is no excuse for disobedie...

What kind of lifestyle does God call his people to live? A forgiving one! Believers are called to imitate the character of God who wiped our slate completely clean. Like the unforgiving servant, our efforts could never pay the debt of sin in full. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda is asking us to consider whether the wrongs done against us are greater than the debt that Christ paid in full. He reminds us that...

When we receive much from others when we were expecting little from them, it raises a great sense of awe and gratitude. This is the exact situation the Israelites find themselves in in this passage in 1 Samuel, where the great and merciful God showed great mercy to a people who were initially disobedient to Him, the same way Christ showed mercy to undeserving sinners on the cross. Pastor John Musy...

This passage in 1 Samuel brings a very vivid picture of the helplessness we at times find ourselves in. If we are not helped/saved from a particular situation, then all hopes are lost. The men of Jabesh find themselves in a similar situation in this passage, and in this, Pastor John Musyimi, seeks to illustrate in this sermon that salvation comes because God brings it!

In a world where self-striving and self-accomplishments are gloried in; where those who have accomplished much by themselves are aggrandized, we see quite the contrary in this passage in 1 Timothy. Paul in this passage shows us the utter inability of men to save themselves from their sin, and this is what Mark Ben Thuku seeks to show us in this sermon, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save...

We again encounter Saul as his moment arrives to be revealed as the chosen by God to be Israel's King. As Saul at this time chooses to shrink back, God's call prevails over his reluctance. Pastor Musyimi uses this passage to emphasise that just as God chased down Saul and grabbed him, He knows how to find and draw us to his purpose. For those who are attempting to dodge what God is calling them to...

Drawing from 1 Samuel 9-10.16 Pastor John Musyimi reflects on the first encounter between Samuel and Saul, to trace how God calls us in a way that leaves no room for doubt. He urges us not to attempt to engineer our circumstances, but rather to submit to his transforming power in our lives, and trust that He alone will validate our call.

In this text in 2 Peter, we see a reminder of even though the awaited promised day of the Lord tarries it will surely come to pass. What should be our posture as we await that day? Pastor Luke Sloterdyk seeks to urge us in this sermon to live lives that await the promise to be fulfilled as it is certain that the promised day of the Lord will come!
