North Hills Church of God

It's important for a church to help strengthen families but the church is also a family. We need to love each other as Christ first loved us.

After all these signs take place, Jesus will return. We can look forward to the Son of Man descending and gathering his elect. If we endure, to the end we can be saved to be a part of the kingdom Jesus will bring with him.

A time of trouble such as the world has never seen is coming. Daniel connects this with Jesus' return and the resurrection of the dead.

Jesus references the "abomination of desolation" in his Olivet discourse. This is a direct reference to Daniel 9 and directly connects the events there with Jesus' return.

Jesus gives many general sigs of the end of this age when his disciples ask. We don't know exactly when that time will come, but we do know it is getting closer and we look forward to what that means for those that put their faith in Christ.

There has been increased interest as of late among Christians in the end times. In Matthew 24, Jesus' disciples ask him two questions - when will the temple be destroyed and what will be the sign of the end of this age. Jesus answers these questions by detailing many signs...signs that we can still watch for today as we await his glorious return!

Self-discipline and self-control means doing what you want most instead of what you want now. Temptations will try to deter you, but practicing self-control will help you stay focused on God and your relationship with him.

You can never conquer what you choose not to confront. Be courageous in addressing and resolving obstacles so that you may continue to grow in your walk with God.

On multiple occasions, Israel gathered together to hear scripture being read. Even with the access we have to bibles today, this can still be a valuable practice. Each time we read, we can discover new insights. Listen to this reading of Mark 11-16 and consider the following: 1. Sum up what you heard in a few sentences. 2. What was something new you learned during the reading? 3. What stuck out to...

After being lost for over 1000 years, more and more people are finding the kingdom message again thanks to our predecessors like Martin Luther and the Anabaptists. It's up to us to make sure this gospel message of the kingdom is never lost again.

The gospel message of the kingdom was largely lost for over 1000 years as it was considered too crude and hedonistic. However, these excuses do not hold weight when we examine the scriptures and information available to us. Thankfully, God's gospel message of the kingdom is found again!

Real ministry is never convenient but it is so important. We are called to serve one another in Christ and must continue to do so.

There are several reasons that the message of the kingdom has been lost over the centuries. One reason is that the kingdom is too Jewish. However, we do not need to reject the Jewish roots to embrace God's coming kingdom.

We are citizens of heaven in the sense that a place is prepared for us in God's kingdom that will descend to earth. But we are also ambassadors for God's kingdom today. As such, we must let others know about the kingdom and show them what it looks like to be a kingdom citizen.

Every kingdom has a ruler, land, and followers. God's kingdom is no different. Jesus will be the king and hand it back to God. The earth is the land and the saints are the followers.

Resurrection Sunday...the finale of the greatest story ever told. Because Christ conquered death, we know we can look forward to the same victory over death in God's Kingdom. This news is so great, it must be shared.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the greatest story ever told. Despite the whole weight of the world resting on his shoulders, Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem. We can apply this lesson to our own lives by not letting the problems of this world keep us from triumphantly marching forward day after day.

As Christians, we ought to be recognized by our fruit. The fruit is the outward proof, so to speak, of our relationship with God. There are three truths to consider regarding fruit: 1. You can know someone else by their fruit 2. Someone else can know you by your fruit 3. You can peer into your own heart by looking at your fruit

Jesus instructing us to seek the Kingdom of God first is a command that means actively and continually. You can accomplish this by: 1. Continually praying 2. Spending regular time reading the Bible 3. Meeting together as a church

If you diligently and with all your heart seek after God, you will find him and even see him currently at work in your life.

There are several reasons you may feel like God is far away or silent in your life. The good news is that there is something you can do about each reason. 1. Maybe you are over sensationalizing God's presence - Realign your expectations. 2. Maybe your heart is hardening - Repent. 3. Maybe God wants to draw you closer - Keep seeking.

Giving, inviting, and growing are important steps that all church members should take to help make the next five years at North Hills the best five years possible.
