Houston Northeast Church

God's people seek God together before they step forward together. Through the example of Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah in 2 Chronicles 20, we're challenged to make room to listen to God, trust him with our uncertainties, and follow his direction together.

It's one thing to say Jesus is Lord. It's another to let him direct our steps. As we conclude our journey through John's letters, 3 John challenges us to examine whether we're truly living for the sake of Jesus' name or holding tightly to our own comfort and control. We're reminded that following Jesus means walking in his truth, using what we've been given to advance the gospel, setting aside our...

As followers of Jesus, we're called to love others without compromising the truth of God's Word. In 2 John, we're reminded that truth and love aren't competing priorities. They belong together. Genuine love is shaped by God's commands, holds fast to who Jesus is, and refuses to support teaching that leads others away from him. The question for each of us to consider is whether we're truly walking...

John closes his first letter with a simple but serious warning: “keep yourselves from idols.” After spending five chapters showing us that Jesus is the real thing, John reminds us not to look for substitutes to provide what only Jesus can. God gives life and hears his children, he alone gives life, and he faithfully keeps his people in truth. Because of who God is, we can come to him confidently i...

The world constantly offers us things to pursue, promising they will bring the life and fulfillment we’re looking for. But in 1 John 5:1–12, John reminds us that Jesus is the only prize truly worth pursuing. When God gives us new life in Christ, he gives us new loves: a love for the Father, a love for his people, and a growing love for his ways. Through faith in Jesus, we can overcome the empty pr...

As Houston Northeast seeks to glorify God and make disciples, everything we have should support the mission God has given us. In this message, Pastor Coleman shares a vision for how our facilities can better help us welcome and walk alongside others with the love of Christ. While our biblical vision has not changed, the community around us continues to change, calling us to consider how we faithfu...

We all look to something to tell us we’re okay, whether it’s success, reputation, relationships, or even our own spiritual performance. But in 1 John 4:13–21, John reminds us that only the love of God revealed through Jesus is strong enough to carry the weight of our lives. His love gives us assurance, confidence before God, freedom from fear, and the freedom to genuinely love others. When the lov...

Love is a word our culture uses constantly, but who gets to define what it really means? In 1 John 4:7–12, we see that God is both the source and standard of love. He defines love, demonstrates it through Jesus, and calls his people to put that same love on display. Because we have experienced a love that sends, sacrifices, and stays, we are compelled to love others with both grace and truth so th...

How can we know that what we hear is truly from God? John tells us not to blindly believe every spiritual claim, but to test what we hear against the truth of Jesus and the Word of God. As followers of Christ, we can trust the Spirit who lives in us and remain firmly tethered to Scripture rather than our preferences, feelings, or the voices around us. Truth is not determined by what sounds good to...

When our hearts condemn us, we don't have to let our feelings determine what is true. God is greater than our hearts, and the God who knows our imperfections most completely is the same God who loves us perfectly through Christ. Because of Jesus, we can confidently draw near to our Father rather than pull away from him. Christianity isn't about trusting ourselves to do enough, but putting the full...

Jesus came on a rescue mission: to take away our sin and destroy the works of the devil. Through his death and resurrection, we have both forgiveness and freedom. As children of God, we don’t make peace with what Christ came to destroy. Instead, we continue fighting sin and pursuing holiness as we live in light of all Jesus has done.

Every temptation begins with believing something other than what God has said. Genesis 3 exposes the deception, shame, and consequences of sin while reminding us that God meets sinners with grace. Through Jesus, we are invited to stop hiding, confess our sin, and receive the mercy only he can give.

The Father's love gives us a new identity, secures our eternal future, and transforms how we live right now. Through faith in Jesus, we are not merely forgiven but welcomed into God's own family as his children. That identity is not defined by our failures, our past, or what others think of us. One day we will see Jesus face to face and be fully conformed to his likeness. That hope is not just a c...
