North Point Baptist Church Sermons

How can men know God? Where can they find Him? This is what meets us in this passage in the epistle of John where he defines the true foundation of fellowship with God. Mark Ben Thuku seeks to explicate in this sermon that the testimony of the incarnation is the beginning of true fellowship with God!

In a world that is pegged on operating on high equilibriums of trust, we often find ourselves in a perplexing state of whether to trust someone or not to. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where Jonathan displays a high level of trust in God whereas Saul shrinks of this and seeks to take matters into his own hands. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that God want...

This famous passage in Acts 6 meets us with the plaguing question of what to do with growth in various facets in our walks, and especially, as shown in the text, in the church. This is what faced the early church and still is a matter to handle now. Josphat Macharia, in this sermon, seeks to show us that a pleased and unified commitment to the gospel will keep our church!

Our desires that are rooted in this world have proven to be contrary to what God calls us to. This is what meets us in this passage in James where we see that anything rooted outside God cannot please and ultimately destroys. Isaac, in this sermon, seeks to show us the deceptiveness of worldly and selfish desires and encourages us to submit to God not to selfish desires!

In this passage in 1 Samuel we meet a fairly understandable circumstance that happened to Saul, one that can be easily applied in our day and age. Him facing the pressure of the Philistine opponents and fleeing armies, he decides to take matters into his own hands which ultimately results in catastrophe. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that pressure is no excuse for disobedie...

What kind of lifestyle does God call his people to live? A forgiving one! Believers are called to imitate the character of God who wiped our slate completely clean. Like the unforgiving servant, our efforts could never pay the debt of sin in full. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda is asking us to consider whether the wrongs done against us are greater than the debt that Christ paid in full. He reminds us that...

When we receive much from others when we were expecting little from them, it raises a great sense of awe and gratitude. This is the exact situation the Israelites find themselves in in this passage in 1 Samuel, where the great and merciful God showed great mercy to a people who were initially disobedient to Him, the same way Christ showed mercy to undeserving sinners on the cross. Pastor John Musy...

This passage in 1 Samuel brings a very vivid picture of the helplessness we at times find ourselves in. If we are not helped/saved from a particular situation, then all hopes are lost. The men of Jabesh find themselves in a similar situation in this passage, and in this, Pastor John Musyimi, seeks to illustrate in this sermon that salvation comes because God brings it!

In a world where self-striving and self-accomplishments are gloried in; where those who have accomplished much by themselves are aggrandized, we see quite the contrary in this passage in 1 Timothy. Paul in this passage shows us the utter inability of men to save themselves from their sin, and this is what Mark Ben Thuku seeks to show us in this sermon, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save...

We again encounter Saul as his moment arrives to be revealed as the one chosen by God to be Israel's King. Though Saul shrinks back, God's call prevails over his reluctance. Pastor Musyimi uses this passage to emphasise that just as God chased down Saul and grabbed him, He knows how to find and draw us to his purpose. God is calling us to stop hiding from our shame and our insecurities, an...

Drawing from 1 Samuel 9-10.16 Pastor John Musyimi reflects on the first encounter between Samuel and Saul, to trace how God calls us in a way that leaves no room for doubt. He urges us not to attempt to engineer our circumstances, but rather to submit to his transforming power in our lives, and trust that He alone will validate our call.

In this text in 2 Peter, we see a reminder of even though the awaited promised day of the Lord tarries it will surely come to pass. What should be our posture as we await that day? Pastor Luke Sloterdyk seeks to urge us in this sermon to live lives that await the promise to be fulfilled as it is certain that the promised day of the Lord will come!

We are at times plagued with the consequences of choosing wrong paths based on our misconstrued desires. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where the wrong desires of the Israelites which were contrary to God's will and honor in the end ended up working against them. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that desires that displace God are destined for distress.

In this passage, Samuel mediates between God and his people, reminding us of Jesus who ever lives to intercede for us. Pastor John Musyimi paints a magnificent vision of God returning to help and bless his people when they humbly repent. We are thus challenged to genuinely repent, and to live as if God is our only hope. God helps, Pastor Musyimi says, in marvelous, magnificent and unexpected ways,...

Drawing from the account of the first century's Christians' generosity towards each other, Isaac Dimba encourages us to reject and repent of any mere appearance of oneness and embrace what it truly means to be one in Christ. North Point Baptist Church exists as a Bible-believing congregation committed to preaching the gospel of Christ, making disciples and displaying God's love and hol...

Humans have the tendency to misjudge situations and people in general. One act done can tend to form a whole bias about someone or something. This tendency also tends to creep into our judgment of God's character and this is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel. The Israelites assumed God's act of kindness and restoration excused His aforementioned laws. Pastor John Musyimi, in this s...

The essence of being captured in an enemy's territory results in unquestionable fear and hopelessness for us as humans due to the condition of our powerlessness therein. However, this is not what is seen in this text in 1 Samuel. Even though the ark of God has been captured by the Philistines, we see God’s vivid demonstration of His sovereign power within their territory. Pastor John Musyimi, in t...

The error of realizing who God is and His role in our lives leads us to catastrophic outcomes. If we have the notion that God is present for our own purposes and goals, we end up with disappointment and shame. This is what is seen in 1 Samuel where the Israelites thought God would be used for their intended outcomes without honoring Him. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that if...

God's words and providences are at times contradictory to one's expectations. Nevertheless, He calls us to heed to them. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel, where God delivers a conflicting message to Eli through the same vessel he was training as a priest. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us to heed God even when what's good to Him is hard on you!

It was in the wedding at Cana, that Jesus performed his first miraculous sign. Pastor Dan Gachuki explains how the apostle John used this occasion to point to Jesus as the one who has intervened in our lives to cover our shame, to cleanse our sin and to consummate our joy.

We who have been loved by God are called to reflect his love towards one another. Mark Ben Thuku explains from 1 John 4:7-12, that this privilege to be loved by God is not without obligation; we have a duty to extend this love to one another, and in so doing God will be shown to be among us.

Drilling into the well-known verses from the Epistle of John, Josphat Macharia reminds us that Christ is the crystallisation of God's love for humanity, and this love shapes not just who a Christian is, but also defines what is the Kingdom of God.

Honor is a great virtue to uphold. As witnessed in the world, when there is a breach of honor, we see it results in disrupted relationships and great loss. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel, where the house of Eli, who were appointed as priests in God’s house, dishonored God. Pastor John Musyimi shows us in this sermon based on this text that God does and will defend His honor!

In a world filled with ruin, corruption and defilement, we are left to wonder if there is hope for all that we see going wrong. The Christian is, however, presented with a different reality compared to the hopelessness that is rampant in this world. As seen in this text in 1 Samuel, and as pastor John reveals in this sermon, a Son is presented as the needed hope of the world. He reveals that hope...

In a world which is self-exalting and self-aggrandizing where being weak and lowly is considered a disadvantage, we meet with Hannah's song of thanksgiving - a song which exalts the mercy and grace of God afforded to those who have humbled themselves before Him. This is the key ingredient to the ones God exalts. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that salvation is only for t...
