3/5/2023 - Felling stuck and lack of relational depth?

We don’t want to think of ourselves as foolish.  After all, most of us have been told our whole lives, “You can do anything you want!”  You can be anything you want as long as you believe in yourself and work hard”.  This is called the philosophy self-determination.  We love it!     Yet our health is breaking down.  Our schedules are inconsistent.  Our...

In the context of our passage we are going to see God’s Word reminding us of the cross and the reason is there is power in the message of the cross.  This morning God’s Word is going to show us there are two types of people in this room.  You are either the type of person who is convinced of the power in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection or you are convinced the cross is foolish. &nbsp...

Last Sunday we kicked off our new series in 1 Corinthians and learned about the messiness of the Corinthian church. We learned about a people who have inconsistent beliefs, inconsistent behaviors.

It’s possible you might be focused and ready to chase after all your dreams in life but it seems like most people are struggling to find motivation, struggling to find optimism and when we find ourselves in that place we dream big, start small.     That’s the whole purpose behind Yearly Rhythms.  Every person in this room in Austin, TX has God given gifts, God given resources,...

Relationships take work. This is why our church is rallying around the focus “Build and Belong.”  We want to put in the relational time today, so that when we start go sideways in life, when we get ensnared by the sinful traps of this world we need people in our life that we can trust to help us get free. www.northvillagechurch.com

We are busy with work, busy with life, struggling through marriage, wrestling with children, seeing our own personal character flaws in life, so that when we show up on a Sunday morning or even open God’s Word on our own it’s like God’s voice was just getting lost in all the white noise of life.     As a result, we started a tradition where every year in January we set aside time to...

In our passage this morning we are going to look at Luke 2, the birth of Jesus, and see God’s hand at work in places we would never expect and in ways we would never expect, so that this morning we are going to see: 1.  What Would You Expect?   2.

Do you know those moments when you are with little kids and you say to them, “Don’t touch.”  They nod their head in agreement but then as soon as you look away, they slowly reach their hands out to touch.     In our passage this morning we are going to take a peek into the patterns of people, and we are going to see how God’s Word responds to those patterns, so that this mornin...

Throughout God’s Word we see trees singing, stars singing, Jesus’ singing, the Apostle Paul singing, so that singing is a central part of our faith as followers of Jesus and singing about Jesus has shaped the majority of music we listen to today, even if those people don’t acknowledge those historical roots.    In our passage this morning we are going to see: 1.  We Sing Thankf...

It’s possible we see layers of distress in our life because of familial relationships, estranged friendships, concerns about our physical health, or even things going on at the soul level, but I am guessing that many of us, it not all of us see fractures of destress, fractures of anxiety in our life. This morning, in Nehemiah 9, we are going to see three sub-points of how we might respond when we...

If so, do we obey Him? Do we follow Him? Are we trusting Him with our lives, or are we trusting something else - ourselves, our friends and family, our bank account, our jobs, t...
