The Sermon This Week

We live in a world full of delayed decisions. From what to watch… to what to buy… to what direction to take in life, we hesitate, we stall, and we put things off. But there is one decision you cannot afford to delay. In Acts 2, the resurrection of Jesus is preached publicly for the very first time, and everything changes. The Holy Spirit moves, truth is revealed, and the crowd is faced with a ques...

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “It is finished”? In this Easter message from Northeast Christian Church, we walk up Mount Calvary and witness the most important moment in history. Jesus is beaten, mocked, and crucified… and with His final breath, He declares that the work is complete. But it didn’t look finished. It looked like defeat. The disciples scattered. Hope felt buried. Everythin...

What happens when God proves Himself with undeniable power? In this message from Northeast Christian Church, we step onto Mount Carmel, where Elijah faces off against 450 prophets of Baal in one of the most dramatic moments in Scripture. Fire falls from heaven, consuming everything and leaving no doubt about who the true God is. But even that moment wasn’t the greatest display of God’s power. Beca...

In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks us to the foot of Mount Sinai in Exodus 19 and 20, where God gives His law to His people. Through thunder, fire, and trembling, we see a holy God reveal His standard. The Ten Commandments are not given to save us, but to show us something deeper… that we cannot meet that standard on our own. This sermon reminds us that the...

What if the greatest question in Scripture has already been answered? In this powerful sermon from Northeast Christian Church, we journey back to Genesis 22 , where Abraham faces one of the most difficult tests of faith ever recorded.

What if someone’s eternity was waiting on one simple conversation? In this message from Northeast Christian Church , Pastor Justin Larkin walks through Romans 10 and reminds us of a powerful truth: people cannot believe in Jesus unless someone tells them about Him. For Pastor Justin, that “someone” was a man named Ken who simply shared the gospel. One conversation in 1998 changed the trajectory of...

Have you ever texted someone… and they left you on read? Now here’s the real question: Have you ever done that to God? In this powerful and relatable message from Northeast Christian Church , Pastor Justin walks us through Matthew 6:5–13 and reminds us that prayer isn’t optional, it’s foundational. If the Bible is God speaking to us, then prayer is how we speak back. Too many believers are spiritu...

What happens after salvation? In Acts of the Apostles 2:42–47, we see a powerful snapshot of the very first church. Three thousand people respond to the gospel, and they don’t go home and live isolated lives. They devote themselves stubbornly commit themselves to teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer. They live life together. In this message, Pastor Justin Larkin reminds us that true worship...

What does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this message from Mark 10:35–45, Pastor Justin Larkin reminds us that true worship does not stop with a song. It overflows into service. While James and John were focused on positions of glory, Jesus redirected their hearts toward humility, sacrifice, and the cross. As Jesus made His way to Jerusalem, knowing the suffering that awaited Him, He defined gr...

What is worship? Is it music? Is it emotion? Is it Sunday morning? Or is it something deeper? In this message from Psalm 150, Pastor Jed Peter challenges us to rethink worship beyond songs and into daily life. Worship is not limited to instruments, lights, or even melodies. It is a response to who God is and the mercy He has shown us. Teaching from Psalm 150, Romans 12, Acts 8, and John 4, this se...

Everything in life has an expiration date. Trends fade, cultures shift, institutions change, and even people come and go. In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin reminds us of the one thing that will never fade: God and His Word. Teaching from Isaiah 40:6–8 and Matthew 24:35, this sermon anchors our faith in the enduring truth of Scripture. While human effort, strengt...

When we open the Bible, it's easy to skim, isolate verses, or read Scripture without slowing down to understand what God is truly saying. In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin teaches from 2 Timothy 2:15 and reminds us that Scripture was never meant to be read in pieces, but in context. This sermon explores why context matters, how it guards the meaning of God's Wor...

Every time we open the Bible, we come with expectations. We expect encouragement, clarity, and help for our lives. But what if God's Word expects something from us too? In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin teaches from Hebrews 4:12–13, reminding us that Scripture is not passive or neutral. The Bible is alive and active. It meets us where we are, works on us, and ca...

The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories. It is one unified account pointing to one Savior. In this powerful sermon from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin challenges how we read Scripture and reveals why reading the Bible through the wrong lens leads to the wrong message. Culture, politics, morality, self-help, and personal preference all distort God's Word when they re...

Reading shapes us. It changes how we think, how we focus, and how we see the world. But what happens when what we read is not just words on a page, but God Himself speaking? In this message from Northeast Christian Church, we explore why the Bible is not just another book, not a collection of opinions, and not good advice. Scripture is God-breathed. It carries His authority, His purpose, and His v...

Christmas is not the story of God stopping by for a holiday visit. It is the historic moment when God moved in permanently. In this Christmas Eve message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks through John 1 to reveal the heart of the gospel: God did not stay distant, silent, or hidden. He stepped into our mess and made His dwelling among us. We spend so much of our lives clea...

What does it actually mean to move with the Lord? For Joseph, it meant immediate obedience when God told him to flee to Egypt to protect the life of Jesus. For the apostles, it meant leaving everything behind to follow Christ wherever He led. But what does moving with God look like for us today? In this message from Northeast Christian Church, we walk through Matthew 2 and explore how God calls Hi...

The Messiah arrived in the w...

Silence can feel strange, uncomfortable, even scary. Twenty seconds of quiet in a room can make us twitch — so imagine 400 years . That's how long God did not speak between the final words of Malachi and the birth of Jesus. No prophets. No visions. No burning bush. No miracles. Nothing but silence. In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks through Galatians 3 and...

Nobody likes to wait. Not for answers, not for breakthroughs, not for God. But what if your waiting isn't a waste… but an act of worship?

Then he brings us forward to Psalm 37 "King David" and shows how waiting shapes faith,...
