North Point Baptist Church Sermons

We are at times plagued with the consequences of choosing wrong paths based on our misconstrued desires. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where the wrong desires of the Israelites which were contrary to God's will and honor in the end ended up working against them. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that desires that displace God are destined for distress.

In this passage, Samuel mediates between God and his people, reminding us of Jesus who ever lives to intercede for us. Pastor John Musyimi paints a magnificent vision of God returning to help and bless his people when they humbly repent. We are thus challenged to genuinely repent, and to live as if God is our only hope. God helps, Pastor Musyimi says, in marvelous, magnificent and unexpected ways,...

Drawing from the account of the first century's Christians' generosity towards each other, Isaac Dimba encourages us to reject and repent of any mere appearance of oneness and embrace what it truly means to be one in Christ. North Point Baptist Church exists as a Bible-believing congregation committed to preaching the gospel of Christ, making disciples and displaying God's love and holiness to the...

Humans have the tendency to misjudge situations and people in general. One act done can tend to form a whole bias about someone or something. This tendency also tends to creep into our judgment of God's character; and this is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel. The Israelites assumed God's act of kindness and restoration excused His aforementioned laws. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon,...

The essence of being captured in an enemy's territory results in unquestionable fear and hopelessness for us as humans due to the condition of our powerlessness therein. However, this is not what is seen in this text in 1 Samuel. Even though the ark of God has been captured by the Philistines, we clearly see God demonstrating His power within their territory. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, s...

The error of realizing who God is and His role in our lives leads us to catastrophic outcomes. If we have the notion that God is present for our own purposes and goals, we end up with disappointment and shame. This is what is seen in 1 Samuel where the Israelites thought God would be used for their intended outcomes without honoring Him. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeksto show us that if w...

God's words and providences are at times contradictory to one's expectations. Nevertheless, He calls us to heed to them. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel, where God delivers a conflicting message to Eli through the same vessel he was training as a priest. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us to heed God even when what's good to Him is hard on you!

It was in the wedding at Cana, that Jesus performed his first miraculous sign. Pastor Dan Gachuki explains how the apostle John used this occasion to point to Jesus as the one who has intervened in our lives to cover our shame, to cleanse our sin and to consummate our joy.

We who have been loved by God are called to reflect his love towards one another. Mark Ben Thuku explains from 1 John 4:7-12, that this privilege to be loved by God is not without obligation; we have a duty to extend this love to one another, and in so doing God will be shown to be among us.

Drilling into the well-known verses from the Epistle of John, Josphat Macharia reminds us that Christ is the crystallisation of God's love for humanity, and this love shapes not just who a Christian is, but also defines what is the Kingdom of God.

In this passage, God confronts Eli and declares that he will take strong measures against him and his household to defend his honor. 4Pastor John Musyimi reminds us that we are not under the unfaithful house, but under the faithful priest and king Jesus, and therefore it is unfitting for us to live lives that dishonor God.

In a world filled with ruin, corruption, and defilement, we are left to wonder is there hope for all that we see going wrong. The Christian is however presented with a different reality compared to the hopelessness that is rampant in this world. As seen in this text in 1 Samuel, and as pastor John reveals in this sermon, a Son is presented to be the needed hope of the world. He reveals that hope f...

In a world which is self-exalting and self-aggrandizing where being weak and lowly is considered a disadvantage, we meet with Hannah's song of thanksgiving - a song which exalts the mercy and grace of God afforded to those who have humbled themselves before Him. This is the key ingredient to the ones God exalts. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that salvation is only for the w...

What do you do in times of desperation, in challenging times that seem hopeless? Do you withdraw in busy activities to keep you engaged trying to avoid the challenge in question? Do you withdraw to other meaningless habits that yield no fruit in the end? For the Christian, God calls him/her to prayer in such moments, and this is what this text in 1 Samuel portrays. Pastor John Musyimi, in this ser...

The Christian matures through lifelong growth in trust, obedience, and the use of God’s means of grace. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda, assures us that because of what we have attained in Christ we continually press on in our Christian race toward maturity.

In order to stand strong against the devil's roars, we need a faith fortified in God, such that when the storms pass, we are still standing. Pastor John Musyimi reminds us that we have hope that any damage done will be repaired by God himself.

To our frail natural minds, being asked to do something that is quite impossible for our capabilities is to a great extent hilarious and alarming. However, this is what meets us in this famous passage in Luke. Mary, an insignificant person is asked to do something significant and life-changing, to bear the Son of God. This is what the Christmas message is, a wonder to the natural mind! And it is w...

In a world fixated with pride and self-exaltation, we often encounter scenarios where humility is scorned and considered weakness. However, as shown in this passage in 1 Peter, we see what true humility is - a character which God cares for and exalts. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, exhorts us to be humble because God cares!

Unbelief to God is a great sin, since it is an outright judgement of His proven character. This is what meets us in this passage in 2 Kings 7 where after a prolonged time of famine, Elisha pronounces God's Word of provision of food. However, the king's captain doubted this word and disaster awaited him. In this sermon, Pastor Richard Chege reminds us that when God promises, the matter is as good a...

The Book of Romans, which is ideally Paul's masterpiece, portrays a vivid and potent display of what the gospel of Christ is and our call to it. We see the hope of Christ's resurrection, our justification and the eternal glories laid for those who believe in Him. Pastor Ken Mbugua, in this sermon, seeks to urge us to lean into the mission of the local church as the way in which we hold fast to the...

Nahum 1 presents us with a vivid image of the assured nature of God's justice and judgment. His enemies will surely not distress twice; He will make a complete end of them. How are we to live now in light of God's assured judgment? Isaac, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us that since God will avenge all His enemies, we ought to live as though He has already done it!

In the face of injustice and evils done unto us, we may despair wondering if we will ever be avenged; if the perpetrators will ever face the punishment due to their actions. In this Psalm of Asaph, we see a scenario where even the wicked may laugh and scorn, but God, the ultimate Judge, will surely avenge; He will surely do justly. Mark Ben Thuku, helps us in this sermon to entrust our souls to Hi...

When one thinks of a job or situation they are not pleased with, they approach it with reluctance or want to completely avoid it. In this passage, however, Peter gives us a completely different approach which elders of churches should carry. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, helps us to see that elders ought to shepherd like they want to!

Deuteronomy 34 pictures the end of the great man of God, Moses, whom God used mightily for His purposes. Alfred Ndoro, in this sermon, shows us the excellencies of Moses in the Pentateuch, which though great had an end. In contrast to this, we see Christ, the neverending one whose excellencies surpasses Moses', who is the anchor of all those who believe in Him. Alfred urges us to overflow in good...

Corrective and safeguarding measures inflicted on the body usually feel unpleasant at the moment but endurable when one considers what he/she is being saved from; take chemotherapy for example. In the same breadth, Peter, in this passage, exhorts us to endure suffering knowing God has a perfect goal in the end. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to urge us to rejoice in our suffering becau...
