North Point Baptist Church Sermons

Certain environments and certain identities influence how we conduct ourselves in this world. As a practitioner, it would influence how you conduct your life on a day to day basis. The same is true for a Christian. Peter, in this passage, portrays the way Christians ought to conduct themselves as they encounter the wars they face in this world, flowing from who they are, as witnesses of God to a w...

This passage in 1 Peter portrays the sure foundation Christians are built upon, Christ Himself. Just like the famous analogy of houses built on sand vis-à-vis houses built on stone, the contrast is clear in the book of Peter of the work God is doing in building His house! Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to emphasize that God is building His people on Christ!

The call to love is a call to function from the heart, not just perform superficial actions. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter. Just like every other action which we can analyze its sincerity by the person doing it, so is the call to love and the actions that ensue from this. Peter, in this passage, shows us that God's love is rooted in the unchangeable Word of God. Pastor John Mu...

Despite how esteemed it is in this world, Maslow's hierarchy of needs fails to capture the direst need any person has, which is their need of forgiveness. Sin has plagued the human, separating him from his ultimate good and subjecting him to utter futility. However, God has not left us to our own demise. Mark Ben Thuku, in this sermon, seeks to show us that anyone who thirsts for mercy is invi...

In this world full of strivings without and within, the Christian is often compared to a soldier who ought to be always on guard as they navigate this world. This is what meets us in this passage in Peter, where after a series of description of who they are and what they have in Christ, instructs them on how they ought to live as redeemed children of God. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks...

We at times desire and seek to know hidden things and have the privilege of knowing information not publicly available to many for one reason or the other. In the same breadth, as seen in this passage, the prophets of old, and even heavenly beings, sought to know the hidden riches of the gospel which Christ only made available to us, making us to have such a great privilege. Pastor John Musyimi, i...

Evil is ever present in this world, and more so in the Christian's life. The question that prevails in the midst of this is, even in the midst of evil, what is God working in the Christian's heart? What is the intended outcome of such occurrences? Josphat Macharia, in this sermon, seeks to show us that God's glory is the good of the Christian even when evil creeps into the Christian&#3...

This passage in Peter vividly shows us the true essence of the nature of a Christian. Just like new born babes naturally incline to their mothers' milk by feeding, God has innately created Christians to react in a unique manner, distinct from the surrounding world. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that though often grieved, Christians instinctively rejoice in their salvati...

Many who have lived away from home usually recall how different the experiences are from their different homes. Moreover, for some there have been quite a number of challenges as they have navigated the different cultures and settings of the places they have lived in. This is clearly seen in this epistle by Peter where he is writing to Christians dispersed in different regions where they are encou...

In the last periods of Jesus on earth, we encounter various commands and instructions He leaves to the disciples in order for them to live and abide by them. John 15 depicts the famous passage on Jesus being the vine and His disciples the branches, and in the midst of this, it engulfs the main essence of how we ought to abide in Him and relate to one another. Pastor Seth Diang'a, in this sermon, s...

Our attention varies to the weightiness of the matter in question. Careful detail is given to matters which are heavy at a given moment and the vice versa is true as well. The writer of Hebrews in this passage implores the same gravity to the message of the gospel; how we ought to give closer attention to it. Kelvin Mwenda, in this sermon, exhorts us that we must pay careful attentiion to our salv...

As we come to the end of the sermon series on the book of Amos, we get to witness a glimmer of hope after the pervasive judgment issued by God through Amos in the previous chapters for their sinful acts. In these verses, we see a recovery from the ruins issued by God's judgment for the people, which is actually issued by God Himself. Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us in this sermon how God...

In this last chapter of Amos, we are met with a sobering reality of how nothing can be hidden from God's almighty hand. In this world, people may tend to find ways to hide their deeds from the law or from others in a bid to find safety and may be successful for a while. However, Amos reminds us in these verses that the same way the Israelites thought they could hide themselves from God's righteous...

What do you desire? This is the question that is present in this passage in Amos 8 where the Israelites' evil pursuits contradicted with God's holy law. They eventually saw His commands as obstacles against their wicked ways and desired to get rid of them so that they may continue sinning. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to show us that, just like the Israelites of old in Amos' day, God...

Just like comets appear in various instances in the period of our lifetimes and astronomers investigate these appearings with utmost diligence seeking to train and fine tune the models that anticipate the future appearings they are waiting for, Christians are also urged to apply the same diligence in their walks, knowing that Christ once appeared and will appear again. Pastor Chris Kiagiri, in thi...

Truth often pierces the heart and reveals the true intents and motives of one's soul. Many, at times, flee, not wanting to hear the truth, but this often leads to the detriment of their souls. Amos, in this passage, is used by God to reveal to the Israelites their true condition and sends a warning of affliction in the hope that they would turn to His abundant mercy in repentance, but they in...

It is witnessed that the greatest of men and nations are usually brought down by them giving themselves over to the fleeting pleasures of this world, as seen by the fall of ancient Rome. Amos, in this passage, declares that Israel, after surrending themselves over to the pleasures of success and military prowess, would be afflicted by God for this evil. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks t...

We often can pride ourselves in various great accomplishments and endeavors in this world which thereby makes us tend to be presumptuous in accomplishing any task that comes our way. However, shocks of disbelief befall us when things don't go the way we presumed them to go. This is what the Israelites faced in Amos' day where they thought their works made them have a right standing before...

What kind of God do you have and envision? Is He a God who is just for you and never against you, a God of love and not of judgment? This is what meets us in Amos 5 where Amos reveals the true God as a God who is a danger for His people — a danger for their sinful living, leaving them with the question of how they shall be saved from this God. Pastor John Musyimi answers this conundrum in this ser...

The book of James is an instructive book that seeks to guide the believer in their conduct as members of Christ's body. This is what is presented to us in this text in James 3 where we get to see the clear contrast between wisdom that comes from above and the wisdom that is governed by worldly ambitions. Alfred Ndoro in this sermon seeks to show us that because heavenly wisdom is an irreconcilable...

In this sermon on the book of 1 John, we get to have a vivid explanation on what John describes as having fellowship with God, and thereby fellowship with others. As is often misconstrued in its meaning, Pastor Richard Chege seeks in this sermon to explain that a christian’s complete joy is founded in our fellowship with God and nourished through our fellowship with one another.

It is widely known that not knowing the rules pertaining to a place or institution doesn’t exempt one from facing the penalties associated with breaking one of its laws. This is what meets us in this passage in Acts 3 where Peter and John exhort the Israel of the time that due to their ignorance they executed Christ who was sinless! However, as Mark Ben Thuku seeks to show us in this sermon, we se...

Amos 4 paints a clear picture of what happens when man ignores the calls of repentance to God despite Him reaching out to them. Just as we can predict rain about to fall through the thickness of the clouds and the spatters of water here and there, we can as well predict God’s judgment through different calls and warnings from Him. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that refusal of...

In the midst of this chaotic devitalizing world full of activities, it’s easy to be swayed from a life of delighting in the sufficiency of Christ. This famous passage in Luke 10 helps us see this reality well where Mary chooses the best that will not be taken away from her. Pastor Bernard Kariuki, in this sermon, helps us see that true discipleship delights in devotion over distraction.

In the face of rampant religion in our day and age, we’re faced with the same predicament that faced the Israelites of old whom Amos addressed: will your religion save you from the judgment to come? This is what meets us in this passage in Amos where the people thought their religious practices justified them before God despite their wayward lifestyles. Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us in this...
