North Point Baptist Church Sermons

The reality of the end of a life brings in new perspectives and new approaches to life; approaching things with earnestness and clarity. In the same breadth, Peter brings the end of all things to a greater light in this text, showing what our posture should be in light of the coming judgment and Christ's return. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, urges us to practice Christian community like the...

How we suffer is inextricably tied to our godliness. In reminding us that the path of godliness is paved with commitment to suffer like Jesus, John Musyimi draws our attention to how our relationship with sin is affected by the mindset we bring to our suffering. North Point Baptist Church exists as a Bible-believing congregation committed to preaching the gospel of Christ, making disciples and dis...

The notion of hopelessness in the face of dire challenges and suffering is widely popularized in this world, abandoning all hope due to the nature of our circumstances. However, this notion's contrariety to Christian beliefs is what Peter challenges in this text in 1 Peter. He commands us that even though hell itself be against us, we ought to face it with an audacious confidence; a confidence not...

Exodus 1 presents us with a compelling case of the indestructible and undefeated nature of who God is and what He does. Unlike some manmade and man-driven agendas which start out well but end up futile, like the Titanic, what God purposes, He fulfills. In this sermon, as seen in the example of the growth of the Israelites, Isaac helps us see that God's purpose unstoppable by earthly opposition is...

Do you feel as though God is silent when you pray, and has abandoned you in your suffering? The writer of Psalms 74 also felt that God had forsaken their nation in the face of national catastrophe. In this sermon, Mark Ben Thuku encourages us to use this psalm as a template to express our lament, and to remember the God who never forgets his people.

Many entertain the notion that Christianity is everything other than the work that entails being a Christian. Many come to Christ seeking His life but not prepared to put in the work. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter, where he urges the readers that for those who desire to inherit God's blessing, for those who name the name of Christ, they must actively turn away from sin. Pastor Joh...

There is a skewed mentality prevailing in the world about marriage, and more specifically, about wives as being a burden to their husbands. A log they would want to be free from. Our passage in Peter, however, presents us with a different view. Peter exhorts us that husbands should carry the posture of care and honor to their wives as they share in the same grace of life and due to their delicate...

The counter-cultural aspect of Christian living is portrayed yet again in this passage in 1 Peter. Where the world esteems beauty through outward expressions of garments and facial adornments, God's Word expresses it quite differently. Peter, in this passage, portrays that a wife's beauty is submission to their husband; a concept not grasped by many in the world. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermo...

Daniel 2 brings out an immense picture of a people taken into exile and in constant worry of the adversities they are under. And in this same picture, we see Daniel and a group of three friends whose hope is in something greater, a God who controls the outcome of all things. This story highly relates to our daily living where we face different trials, and it is in this same breadth that Pastor Maj...

This life is full of turmoil. And this is no new feat in the area of authority. Some often find themselves under harsh bosses, and as Christians, Peter has urged us in his book what we ought to do when we find ourselves in such tough providences. In this passage, we see Christ as the better example who endured such conflict without sinning. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, exhorts us to endure...

Proverbs 3 is a collection of Solomon's proverbs which at the core of it focuses on the heart of man. Humans generally agree that there is a deep problem with man, and have devised so many ways to address this problem. Diverse rituals and philosophies have been devised to get to the root of this. However, at the heart of Christianity, we see a greater hope and solution that traverses man's chiefes...

1 Kings 13, a commonly bewildering Biblical text, sets out to show us that God's commands ought to be fully followed and any diversion from this leads to certain destruction. Just like certain outlined instructions not followed in any constructive project here on earth leads to flawed outcomes, the same applies to the instructions God gives to be followed by His people. Luke Sloterdyk, in this ser...

Unlike what is commonly mistaken in this world that freedom frees us from submission to the law, this passage in Peter echoes a different emphasis. Peter argues in this passage that due to the sole reason that we belong to God and His rule, we ought to be obedient to the governing bodies He has placed over us, even in this world that is passing away. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, shows us e...

Certain environments and certain identities influence how we conduct ourselves in this world. As a practitioner, it would influence how you conduct your life on a day to day basis. The same is true for a Christian. Peter, in this passage, portrays the way Christians ought to conduct themselves as they encounter the wars they face in this world, flowing from who they are, as witnesses of God to a w...

This passage in 1 Peter portrays the sure foundation Christians are built upon, Christ Himself. Just like the famous analogy of houses built on sand vis-à-vis houses built on stone, the contrast is clear in the book of Peter of the work God is doing in building His house! Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to emphasize that God is building His people on Christ!

The call to love is a call to function from the heart, not just perform superficial actions. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter. Just like every other action which we can analyze its sincerity by the person doing it, so is the call to love and the actions that ensue from this. Peter, in this passage, shows us that God's love is rooted in the unchangeable Word of God. Pastor John Musyim...

Despite how esteemed it is in this world, Maslow's hierarchy of needs fails to capture the direst need any person has, which is their need of forgiveness. Sin has plagued the human, separating him from his ultimate good and subjecting him to utter futility. However, God has not left us to our own demise. Mark Ben Thuku, in this sermon, seeks to show us that anyone who thirsts for mercy is invited...

In this world full of strivings without and within, the Christian is often compared to a soldier who ought to be always on guard as they navigate this world. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter, where after a series of description of who they are and what they have in Christ, instructs them on how they ought to live as redeemed children of God. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks...

We at times desire and seek to know hidden things and have the privilege of knowing information not publicly available to many for one reason or the other. In the same breadth, as seen in this passage, the prophets of old, and even heavenly beings, sought to know the hidden riches of the gospel which Christ only made available to us, making us to have such a great privilege. Pastor John Musyimi, i...

Evil is ever present in this world, and more so in the Christian's life. The question that prevails in the midst of this is, even in the midst of evil, what is God working in the Christian's heart? What is the intended outcome of such occurrences? Josphat Macharia, in this sermon, seeks to show us that God's glory is the good of the Christian even when evil creeps into the Christian's circumstance...

This passage in Peter vividly shows us the true essence of the nature of a Christian. Just like new born babes naturally incline to their mothers' milk by feeding, God has innately created Christians to react in a unique manner, distinct from the surrounding world. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that though often grieved, Christians instinctively rejoice in their salvation!

Many who have lived away from home usually recall how different the experiences are from their different homes. Moreover, for some there have been quite a number of challenges as they have navigated the different cultures and settings of the places they have lived in. This is clearly seen in this epistle by Peter where he is writing to Christians dispersed in different regions where they are encou...

In the last periods of Jesus on earth, we encounter various commands and instructions He leaves to the disciples in order for them to live and abide by them. John 15 depicts the famous passage on Jesus being the vine and His disciples the branches, and in the midst of this, it engulfs the main essence of how we ought to abide in Him and relate to one another. Pastor Seth Diang'a, in this sermon, s...

Our attention varies to the weightiness of the matter in question. Careful detail is given to matters which are heavy at a given moment and the vice versa is true as well. The writer of Hebrews in this passage implores the same gravity to the message of the gospel; how we ought to give closer attention to it. Kelvin Mwenda, in this sermon, exhorts us that we must pay careful attentiion to our salv...

As we come to the end of the sermon series on the book of Amos, we get to witness a glimmer of hope after the pervasive judgment issued by God through Amos in the previous chapters for their sinful acts. In these verses, we see a recovery from the ruins issued by God's judgment for the people, which is actually issued by God Himself. Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us in this sermon how God is r...
