North Point Baptist Church Sermons

In this last chapter of Amos, we are met with a sobering reality of how nothing can be hidden from God's almighty hand. In this world, people may tend to find ways to hide their deeds from the law or from others in a bid to find safety and may be successful for a while. However, Amos reminds us in these verses that the same way the Israelites thought they could hide themselves from God's righteous...

What do you desire? This is the question that is present in this passage in Amos 8 where the Israelites' evil pursuits contradicted with God's holy law. They eventually saw His commands as obstacles against their wicked ways and desired to get rid of them so that they may continue sinning. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that, just like the Israelites of old in Amos' day, God...

Creation itself is a key marker pointing to the works of our God and Savior and how we ought to relate to Him. Just like comets appear in various instances in the period of our lifetimes and astrologers investigate these appearings with utmost diligence seeking to understand these, Christians are also urged to apply the same diligence in their walks knowing that Christ once appeared and will appea...

Truth often pierces the heart and reveals the true intents and motives of one's soul. Many, at times, flee, not wanting to hear the truth, but this often leads to the detriment of their souls. Amos, in this passage, is used by God to reveal to the Israelites their true condition and sends a warning of affliction in the hope that they would turn to His abundant mercy in repentance, but they in turn...

It is witnessed that the greatest of men and nations are usually brought down by them giving themselves over to the fleeting pleasures of this world, as seen by the fall of ancient Rome. Amos, in this passage, declares that Israel, after surrending themselves over to the pleasures of success and military prowess, would be afflicted by God for this evil. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks t...

We often can pride ourselves in various great accomplishments and endeavors in this world which thereby makes us tend to be presumptuous in accomplishing any task that comes our way. However, shocks of disbelief befall us when things don't go the way we presumed them to go. This is what the Israelites faced in Amos' day where they thought their works made them have a right standing before God on H...

What kind of God do you have and envision? Is He a God who is just for you and never against you, a God of love and not of judgment? This is what meets us in Amos 5 where Amos reveals the true God as a God who is danger for His people — a danger for their sinful living, leaving them with the question of how they shall be saved from this God. Pastor John Musyimi answers this conundrum in this sermo...

The book of James is an instructive book that seeks to guide the believer in their conduct as members of Christ's body. This is what is presented to us in this text in James 3 where we get to see the clear contrast between wisdom that comes from above and the wisdom that is governed by worldly ambitions. Alfred Ndoro in this sermon seeks to show us that because heavenly wisdom is an irreconcilable...

In this sermon on the book of 1 John, we get to have a vivid explanation on what John describes as having fellowship with God, and thereby fellowship with others. As is often misconstrued in its meaning, Pastor Richard Chege seeks in this sermon to explain that a christian’s complete joy is founded in our fellowship with God and nourished through our fellowship with one another.

It is widely known that not knowing the rules pertaining to a place or institution doesn’t exempt one from facing the penalties associated with breaking one of its laws. This is what meets us in this passage in Acts 3 where Peter and John exhort the Israel of the time that due to their ignorance they executed Christ who was sinless! However, as Mark Ben Thuku seeks to show us in this sermon, we se...

Amos 4 paints a clear picture of what happens when man ignores the calls of repentance to God despite Him reaching out to them. Just as we can predict rain about to fall through the thickness of the clouds and the spatters of water here and there, we can as well predict God’s judgment through different calls and warnings from Him. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that refusal of...

In the midst of this chaotic devitalizing world full of activities, it’s easy to be swayed from a life of delighting in the sufficiency of Christ. This famous passage in Luke 10 helps us see this reality well where Mary chooses the best that will not be taken away from her. Pastor Bernard Kariuki, in this sermon, helps us see that true discipleship delights in devotion over distraction.

In the face of rampant religion in our day and age, we’re faced with the same predicament that faced the Israelites of old whom Amos addressed: will your religion save you from the judgment to come? This is what meets us in this passage in Amos where the people thought their religious practices justified them before God despite their wayward lifestyles. Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us in this...

As seen in our relations with other humans, reactions are usually triggered by occurrences that instigate them; either by they themselves, us as the recipients or outside occurrences. In the same semblance, this is what meets us in Amos 3 where God declares judgment over Israel because of their transgressions. A judgment that is warranted solely because of their heinous actions. Pastor John Musyim...

We often feel the disappointment after people we’ve trusted fail us in one way or another. This is what meets us in this passage in Amos 2, where we see God’s people, Israel, failing to keep His covenant and ways, and in the end being punished for this. In this sermon, Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us that profane practices by God’s people cheapen their special privilege as God’s people, a les...

In this world where crime, injustice and egregious acts are committed every so often, it leaves us with a sense of wonder as to whether there will be retribution served in the cases where it isn’t. This yearning of justice is rooted deep in our souls, and in His mercies, God answers our deep questions in this portion in the book of Amos. As revealed in these Scriptures, Pastor John Musyimi in this...

What we input in our minds and hearts automatically shapes what we output to the watching world. This is what meets us in this passage in Colossians 3 where we get to reflect on the impact of God’s word in our hearts, especially as we start off a new year. In this sermon, Pastor Chris Kiagiri admonishes us to let the indwelling word of Christ produce wise speech and grateful songs in our hearts!

As humans, and as Christians, we tend to, at times, have a skewed view of reality, where we do things in the wrong ways. This is very vivid as Christians where we tend to think that our faith is what gets things done, leaving God’s power to the oblivion. However, as revealed in this passage in Mark 16, this isn’t the case. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that the resurrection d...

In the frailties of mankind in the city of Jerusalem we meet an idyllic birth that changed its full cause. This birth was of great significance that even the angels burst forth into praise unto God. Luke 2 presents the events that surrounded Jesus’ birth, a birth that was divinely woven in the ordinary means of human life, that eventually brought extraordinary results. This is the whole message th...

God orchestrates all events for the purposes of His own glory on the earth. This is what meets us in this passage in Mark 15 where upon Jesus’ crucifixion and death, an opportune moment arises for one, Joseph, who was specially prepared for such a moment as Jesus’ burial. This is a marker for many on the earth who by God’s divine providence plans out their lives for an ultimate end. Pastor John Mu...

In this passage in Mark 15, we meet a horrid ordeal that Christ experienced, worse than anyone could experience or imagine. Herein, He is mocked and crucified among transgressors, an image that doesn’t befit the King of Kings. The prevailing question is will someone come to the rescue for Him, or will He descend from the cross to save Himself? Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, helps us see that...

In this dying world, we all have faced different difficult scenarios that make us long for a perfect reign from perfect leaders in a perfect world. For the believer, this longing is ultimately founded and assured on the promise Christ brings as He declares His kingdom. Pastor Dan Gachuki helps us see in this sermon that those who believe in Jesus Christ have the hope of eternal rest under the grea...

In life, we at times tend to overlook things that may spur to something great because of our limited knowledge of what it may be. This often leaves us to regret seeing the outcome of the thing overlooked. In this passage, we meet a similar scenario where Jesus is mocked and persecuted for His Kingship, an identity which inherently is His, but others are oblivious of it. The early Jews thought noth...

Suffering can brew a lot of questions in the heart of a believer. This is what faced us as a church, and especially a beloved couple amongst us who lost their child. We thank God for the gospel which has answers to all these questions we have in the face of tragedies. Romans 8 helps us see that amidst the fiery trials of this present world, we have a God who is always for us and therefore we can h...

This passage in Mark 14 presents a very humbling scenario where Jesus is persecuted willingly for our salvation. Oft times, we tend to have a misconstrued perception of our Lord as a begrudging helper and withdraw from coming to Him wholeheartedly to receive all the grace and mercy we would require in our time of need. However, Jesus, in this passage, shows us He’s the complete opposite of this. P...
