North Point Baptist Church Sermons

As seen in our relations with other humans, reactions are usually triggered by occurrences that instigate them; either by they themselves, us as the recipients or outside occurrences. In the same semblance, this is what meets us in Amos 3 where God declares judgment over Israel because of their transgressions. A judgment that is warranted solely because of their heinous actions. Pastor John Musyim...

We often feel the disappointment after people we’ve trusted fail us in one way or another. This is what meets us in this passage in Amos 2, where we see God’s people, Israel, failing to keep His covenant and ways, and in the end being punished for this. In this sermon, Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us that profane practices by God’s people cheapen their special privilege as God’s people, a les...

In this world where crime, injustice and egregious acts are committed every so often, it leaves us with a sense of wonder as to whether there will be retribution served in the cases where it isn’t. This yearning of justice is rooted deep in our souls, and in His mercies, God answers our deep questions in this portion in the book of Amos. As revealed in these Scriptures, Pastor John Musyimi in this...

What we input in our minds and hearts automatically shapes what we output to the watching world. This is what meets us in this passage in Colossians 3 where we get to reflect on the impact of God’s word in our hearts, especially as we start off a new year. In this sermon, Pastor Chris Kiagiri admonishes us to let the indwelling word of Christ produce wise speech and grateful songs in our hearts!

As humans, and as Christians, we tend to, at times, have a skewed view of reality, where we do things in the wrong ways. This is very vivid as Christians where we tend to think that our faith is what gets things done, leaving God’s power to the oblivion. However, as revealed in this passage in Mark 16, this isn’t the case. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that the resurrection d...

In the frailties of mankind in the city of Jerusalem we meet an idyllic birth that changed its full cause. This birth was of great significance that even the angels burst forth into praise unto God. Luke 2 presents the events that surrounded Jesus’ birth, a birth that was divinely woven in the ordinary means of human life, that eventually brought extraordinary results. This is the whole message th...

God orchestrates all events for the purposes of His own glory on the earth. This is what meets us in this passage in Mark 15 where upon Jesus’ crucifixion and death, an opportune moment arises for one, Joseph, who was specially prepared for such a moment as Jesus’ burial. This is a marker for many on the earth who by God’s divine providence plans out their lives for an ultimate end. Pastor John Mu...

In this passage in Mark 15, we meet a horrid ordeal that Christ experienced, worse than anyone could experience or imagine. Herein, He is mocked and crucified among transgressors, an image that doesn’t befit the King of Kings. The prevailing question is will someone come to the rescue for Him, or will He descend from the cross to save Himself? Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, helps us see that...

In this dying world, we all have faced different difficult scenarios that make us long for a perfect reign from perfect leaders in a perfect world. For the believer, this longing is ultimately founded and assured on the promise Christ brings as He declares His kingdom. Pastor Dan Gachuki helps us see in this sermon that those who believe in Jesus Christ have the hope of eternal rest under the grea...

In life, we at times tend to overlook things that may spur to something great because of our limited knowledge of what it may be. This often leaves us to regret seeing the outcome of the thing overlooked. In this passage, we meet a similar scenario where Jesus is mocked and persecuted for His Kingship, an identity which inherently is His, but others are oblivious of it. The early Jews thought noth...

Suffering can brew a lot of questions in the heart of a believer. This is what faced us as a church, and especially a beloved couple amongst us who lost their child. We thank God for the gospel which has answers to all these questions we have in the face of tragedies. Romans 8 helps us see that amidst the fiery trials of this present world, we have a God who is always for us and therefore we can h...

This passage in Mark 14 presents a very humbling scenario where Jesus is persecuted willingly for our salvation. Oft times, we tend to have a misconstrued perception of our Lord as a begrudging helper and withdraw from coming to Him wholeheartedly to receive all the grace and mercy we would require in our time of need. However, Jesus, in this passage, shows us He’s the complete opposite of this. P...

What are we to make of life’s trying moments? What response ensues from such adversities when we face them? Do we envision God as this tyrant King who is unconcerned with our lives, and orders it in a way that we view unfair? Ruth 1 depicts this clearly, as Naomi faces one tragedy after another, which leaves her bitter. However, this is not all as it seems to be. Alfred Ndoro, seeks to show us in...

In this passage in Mark 14:32 - 52, we face a woeful plight in which the hope of mankind rests solely on one Man. Being alone and forsaken by His disciples, Jesus, even though deeply distressed by the hour, did not cower at the moment, but chose to bear the cross for our salvation. Unlike man who can crumble under the weight of such burdens, Jesus did choose the dreadful path for the sake of manki...

Numbers 21:4 - 9 showcases a story, among many, where the sin of the Israelites was at display, in their rebellion against God and against His prophets. Their rebellion necessitated God's punishment on them, and beyond that highlighted the deeper need they had of being rescued from their sinful nature. Pastor Richard Chege, in this sermon, shows us the extent Christ went to provide the cure for ou...

In this self-centered world, we often tend to view ourselves on the opposite spectrum of things when they don’t happen according to plan. We often have these sayings: “if I was in such a situation, I would have done such and such a thing” forgetting we too are fallen and sinful beings. In this passage in Mark 14:12 - 31, we see the most unlikely persons to falter, the disciples, whom in the end, e...

"What is Jesus worth to you?" This is the question that dawns on us in this passage on Mark 14, where we see Jesus addressing and correcting some of the disciples for scolding the woman who anointed Jesus with very valuable ointment, which they considered a waste. In this passage, we see that what we treasure most we tend to spend on, and in the same breadth, Pastor John Musyimi seeks to exhort us...

Psalm 31, a Psalm of David, depicts the hope saints have in their times of distress. Their refrain echoes Jesus' words as depicted in the gospels, "into Your hand I commit My spirit", a line David uses while in distress. Jesus when worn out with anguish and sorrow on the cross, cries out and commits His spirit to the Father for safety and vindication. And the Father proved so by raising Him from t...

As North Point Baptist Church celebrates its one year anniversary, we take time to reflect on the beauty of the church of Christ as displayed in Psalm 87. Where this beauty may have been tainted in our sight as believers, this Psalm paints a different picture, helping us see that the church is a glorious joy in God's hands, the target of His love, a city founded on eternal promises that cannot be...

In a world filled with unbelieving people in unreached contexts, and at the same time, unbelieving people who are continuously exposed to God's Word, the question that dawns on us continuously is how they get saved! Acts 8:26 - 40 gives us a clear perspective on this prevailing question, which Pastor Allan Waruhiu, through three main points, seeks to answer and persuade us from the text based...

Humans are plagued with various fears in this world, which drive us to multiple responses. This is the same case in our text in Exodus 20, where we see the Israelites drawing far from God when they witnessed His tempestuous entry at Mount Sinai. However, as seen in this text, God's intent has always been to draw near His people by displaying His person to them which creates a holy and awe-fill...

Just like a pregnant lady can foretell the expected due date of her child by particular signs, history's course is, in like manner, chartered by specific signs. In Mark 13, the Lord Jesus explains what would entail the world's end by giving vivid details and admonishing us on our posture in these times. John Musyimi, in this sermon, urges us to stay awake because history is pregnant with j...

In Mark 12:38 - 13:2, we see Jesus's response to religious leaders who were outright hypocrites; displaying traits on the outside that they didn't possess on the inside, and requiring praise for this. This blight is a characteristic that follows us daily as Christians in this day and age. The question that prevails over us now is whether our internal health displays our external religious...

The book of Zephaniah highlights vivid explanations of the judgment that awaits all men in the great Day of the Lord; a Day that will be filled with recompense for every deed done whether good or evil. This declaration came at a time when Zephaniah was under the wicked rule of King Manasseh, and just like the meaning behind his name, Zephaniah was hidden by God's sovereign hand from any harm t...

1 Samuel 30:1 - 8 paints a picture of the hope we have in times of affliction, and our posture during such times. The question that prevails is during these times, what do you stand on; where do you turn to? Whilst in turmoil, David sought to encourage himself in the Lord as he considered God's past faithfulness, present presence and future promises. Pastor Chris Kiagiri, in this sermon, aims...
