North Point Baptist Church Sermons

What do you do in times of desperation, in challenging times that seem hopeless? Do you withdraw to busy activities to keep you engaged trying to avoid the challenge in question? Do you withdraw to other meaningless habits that yield no fruit in the end? For the Christian, God calls him/her to prayer in such moments, and this is what this text in 1 Samuel portrays. Pastor John Musyimi, in this ser...

The Christian matures through lifelong growth in trust, obedience, and the use of God’s means of grace. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda, assures us that because of what we have attained in Christ we continually press on in our Christian race toward maturity.

In order to stand strong against the devil's roars, we need a faith fortified in God, such that when the storms pass, we are still standing. Pastor John Musyimi reminds us that we have hope that any damage done will be repaired by God himself.

To our frail natural minds, being asked to do something that is quite impossible for our capabilities is to a great extent hilarious and alarming. However, this is what meets us in this famous passage in Luke. Mary, an insignificant person is asked to do something significant and life-changing, to bear the Son of God. This is what the Christmas message is, a wonder to the natural mind! And it is w...

In a world fixated with pride and self-exaltation, we often encounter scenarios where humility is scorned and considered weakness. However, as shown in this passage in 1 Peter, we see what true humility is - a character which God cares for and exalts. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, exhorts us to be humble because God cares!

Unbelief to God is a great sin, since it is an outright judgement of His proven character. This is what meets us in this passage in 2 Kings 7 where after a prolonged time of famine, Elisha pronounces God's Word of provision of food. However, the king's captain doubted this word and disaster awaited him. In this sermon, Pastor Richard Chege reminds us that when God promises, the matter is a...

The Book of Romans, which is ideally Paul's masterpiece, portrays a vivid and potent display of what the gospel of Christ is and our call to it. We see the hope of Christ's resurrection, our justification and the eternal glories laid for those who believe in Him. Pastor Ken Mbugua, in this sermon, seeks to urge us to lean into the mission of the local church as the way in which we hold fas...

Nahum 1 presents us with a vivid image of the assured nature of God's justice and judgment. His enemies will surely not distress twice; He will make a complete end of them. How are we to live now in light of God's assured judgment? Isaac, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us that since God will avenge all His enemies, we ought to live as though He has already done it!

In the face of injustice and evils done unto us, we may despair wondering if we will ever be avenged; if the perpetrators will ever face the punishment due to their actions. In this Psalm of Asaph, we see a scenario where even the wicked may laugh and scorn, but God, the ultimate Judge, will surely avenge; He will surely do justly. Mark Ben Thuku, helps us in this sermon to entrust our souls to Hi...

When one thinks of a job or situation they are not pleased with, they approach it with reluctance or want to completely avoid it. In this passage, however, Peter gives us a completely different approach which elders of churches should carry. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, helps us to see that elders ought to shepherd like they want to!

Deuteronomy 34 pictures the end of the great man of God, Moses, whom God used mightily for His purposes. Alfred Ndoro, in this sermon, shows us the excellencies of Moses in the Pentateuch, which though great had an end. In contrast to this, we see Christ, the neverending one whose excellencies surpasses Moses', who is the anchor of all those who believe in Him. Alfred urges us to overflow in g...

Corrective and safeguarding measures inflicted on the body usually feel unpleasant at the moment but endurable when one considers what he/she is being saved from; take chemotherapy for example. In the same breadth, Peter, in this passage, exhorts us to endure suffering knowing God has a perfect goal in the end. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to urge us to rejoice in our suffering becau...

The reality of the end of a life brings in new perspectives and new approaches to life; approaching things with earnestness and clarity. In the same breadth, Peter brings the end of all things to a greater light in this text, showing what our posture should be in light of the upcoming judgment and Christ's return. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, urges us to practice Christian community li...

How we suffer is inextricably tied to our godliness. In reminding us that the path of godliness is paved with commitment to suffer like Jesus, John Musyimi draws our attention to how our relationship with sin is affected by the mindset we bring to our suffering.

The notion of hopelessness in the face of dire challenges and suffering is widely popularized in this world, abandoning all hope due to the nature of our circumstances. However, this notion's contrariety to Christian beliefs is what Peter challenges in this text in 1 Peter. He commands us that even though hell itself be against us, we ought to face it with an audacious confidence; a confidence...

Exodus 1 presents us with a compelling case of the indestructible and undefeated nature of who God is and what He does. Unlike some manmade and man-driven agendas which start out well but end up futile, like the Titanic, what God purposes, He fulfills. In this sermon, as seen in the example of the growth of the Israelites, Isaac helps us see that God's purpose unstoppable by earthly opposition...

Do you feel as though God is silent when you pray, and has abandoned you in your suffering? The writer of Psalms 74 also felt that God had forsaken their nation in the face of national catastrophe. In this sermon, Mark Ben Thuku encourages us to use this psalm as a template to express our lament, and to remember the God who never forgets his people.

Many entertain the notion that Christianity is everything other than the work that entails being a Christian. Many come to Christ seeking His life but not prepared to put in the work. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter, where he urges the readers that for those who desire to inherit God's blessing, for those who name the name of Christ, they must actively turn away from sin. Pastor...

There is a skewed mentality prevailing in the world about marriage, and more specifically, about wives as being a burden to their husbands. A log they would want to be free from. Our passage in Peter, however, presents us with a different view. Peter exhorts us that husbands should carry the posture of care and honor to their wives as they share in the same grace of life and due to their delicate...

The counter-cultural aspect of Christian living is portrayed yet again in this passage in 1 Peter. Where the world esteems beauty through outward expressions of garments and facial adornments, God's Word expresses it quite differently. Peter, in this passage, portrays that a wife's beauty is in the submission to her husband; a concept not grasped by many in the world. Pastor John Musyimi, in this...

Daniel 2 brings out an immense picture of a people taken into exile and in constant worry of the adversities they are under. And in this same picture, we see Daniel and a group of three friends whose hope is in something greater, a God who controls the outcome of all things. This story highly relates to our daily living where we face different trials, and it is in this same breadth that Pastor Maj...

This life is full of turmoil. And this is no new feat in the area of authority. Some often find themselves under harsh bosses, and as Christians, Peter has instructed us in his book on what we ought to do when we find ourselves in such tough providences. In this passage, we see Christ as the better example who endured such conflict without sinning. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, exhorts us t...

Proverbs 3 is a collection of Solomon's proverbs which at the core of it focuses on the heart of man. Humans generally agree that there is a deep problem with man, and have devised so many ways to address this problem. Diverse rituals and philosophies have been devised to get to the root of this. However, at the heart of Christianity, we see a greater hope and solution that traverses man's...

1 Kings 13, a commonly bewildering Biblical text, sets out to show us that God's commands ought to be fully followed and any diversion from this leads to certain destruction. Just like certain outlined instructions not followed in any constructive project here on earth leads to flawed outcomes, the same applies to the instructions God gives to be followed by His people. Luke Sloterdyk, in this...

Unlike what is commonly mistaken in this world that freedom frees us from submission to the law, this passage in Peter echoes a different emphasis. Peter argues in this passage that due to the sole reason that we belong to God and His rule, we ought to be obedient to the governing bodies He has placed over us, even in this world that is passing away. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, shows us e...
