Magnify Church - Northview Campus

Honor. Humility. Hospitality. We all know these words, but do we really know what they mean? 26 of 31 in our Romans series.

Different, but united in Christ. That is God's desire for His people, but it is rarely the way we actually function. Fortunately, Paul was no stranger to this issue. 25 of 31 in our Romans series.

As we near the end of Romans, Paul really gets to the meat of his letter. He also gets really confusing for 21st-century people! What is a living sacrifice, anyway? 24 of 31 in our Romans series.

What goes through your head when you hear the word "tithe"? Confusion? Fear? Suspicion? Jesus spoke a lot to say about money, so maybe He can set the record straight.

Many of life's relationships can be chaotic, but none are more consuming of time and resources than children. What is a good parent, anyway, and what does it look like to thrive in this role?

God created marriage to be an unbreakable, life-giving bond that brings joy to both spouses–but that is seldom the picture we see. What went wrong, and how can we submit ourselves to God's design?

Looking for a chaotic life? Look no further than Hosea, the prophet who God told to marry an unfaithful woman. His book of the Bible brings both our waywardness and God's faithfulness into sharp focus.

Unfair circumstances. Unpredictable conflicts. Belligerent internet notifications. Our God is the master of chaos, but that doesn't mean he always gets rid of it. What does it look like to walk through life's craziness alongside the Spirit of Jesus?

On the eve of launching our 3rd campus, lead pastor Matt Zainea anticipates the exciting journey ahead. Risk and discomfort are essential if we are to move forward together.

Work. Many either avoid it at all costs or worship it as a god, but what does scripture say? Is it good? Bad? What did God make it for?

Baptism. So often misunderstood, argued about, and evaded by Christians - yet it speaks right to the heart of Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. This message investigates the what, why, and how.

After Jesus rose from the dead, people of all different ethnicities and cultures began to follow Him. Finally, God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham had come true! But what about Israel? Are they not important to God anymore? 23 of 31 in our Romans series.

Humanity is broken. Got it. Every human has been affected by shame in their past. Ok. Jesus came, making a new way. What now? How do new humans process shame?

Universal, pervasive, and often undetected. This is shame, something every person struggles with, and this teaching dives into the what, why, and how. It may seem like it, but shame doesn't just come out of nowhere.

How do stars begin? Are there other planets like earth? What revolves around what, anyway? Professor Will Millar - making full use of his Ph. D. in Astrophysics - takes us through the history of the questions and updates us on the centuries-long search for answers.

Is God really sovereign over everything, or can people mess up His plans? Can we really make choices, or is free will just an illusion? Welcome to the doctrine of election. What does the Bible really say about all this? 22 of 31 in our Romans series.

Every human being is different - some even seem to have more traits in contrast than in common! How, then, can we treat each other with dignity? Joe Jones - head of the Grand Rapids Urban League and Second Ward Commissioner on the Grand Rapids City Council - teaches us this evening.

Ever heard "but the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go" and wondered, "Wait, so did Pharaoh's have a choice?" This is the teaching for you. 21 of 31 in our Romans series.

Ever heard that "all things work together for good"? This week, Ben unpacks what this promise means and how God is going to keep it. 20 of 31 in our Romans series.

Contentment. Circumstances. Two words for the same thing to some, but not according to scripture.

Suffering. It comes in many shapes and sizes, and none of them feel good. What does it look like to suffer like a Jesus follower? 19 of 31 in our Romans series.

You know that thing you struggle with. You try. You fight it. You promise to beat it but it keeps coming back. Paul knew that struggle, and he wanted the Church to know that God has something better for us. 18 of 31 in our Romans series.

Struggle to believe that God could accept you? Struggle to accept others? You’re not alone, and there's good news waiting for you. 17 of 31 in our Romans series.

What kind of man are you? It's a big question - and not a simple one - but according to Paul, there are basically two examples to choose from.

Ancient Judea was full of people stuck on the fringes of society. Some murdered, stole, or lived otherwise disreputable lives. Many, like the poor, seemed burdensome. Others just didn't fit in. Jesus treated them all with honor. 16 of 31 in our Romans series.
