Northeast Christian Podcast

This weekend at Northeast, we kicked off a brand-new Bible study series through the book of Hosea, one of the most powerful pictures of God's grace in all of Scripture. Tyler opened Hosea and took us on a Bible-study journey through Israel's history to help us understand the context behind one of the Bible's most shocking commands: "Go and marry a prostitute." God called the prophet Hosea to marry...

In this service, we explore the heart behind investing in the next generation and why the role of parents is so crucial in shaping a child’s faith. From powerful moments of worship and baptism to personal stories of parenting, this sermon highlights how deeply God designed families to pass down faith from one generation to the next. You’ll learn how parents, not culture, social media, or even the...

In this message from the Controversial Christianity series, we tackle a topic that hits close to home for many families: youth sports culture. While sports can be fun, meaningful, and even formative, they also carry powerful influences that can shape our values; sometimes in ways that conflict with our faith. We explore why this conversation matters, especially in a church filled with parents and...

Controversial Christianity The church is in a series called Controversial Christianity, where the goal is to: Talk about difficult or uncomfortable topics Bring clarity, conviction, compassion, and Christ into the conversation Model how to disagree while staying united This year’s topics are a little lighter—but still meaningful.   This Week’s Topic: Mega Churches This week’s conversation focuses...

This Sunday, we launched our new series, Controversial Christianity, with Terrence teaching on singleness and Christian formation. We learned that a recent survey across ages and ethnicities revealed three major themes people wrestle with around singleness: How long should I stay single? — Many wonder when they should begin taking dating seriously and what “timing” looks like in a Christian contex...

Worship is more than music. It is more than a Sunday morning song set, more than a feeling, and more than a moment. Worship is a choice. In this Worship and Prayer Service, Corbin and Lindsay share the heart behind worship at Northeast: why songs matter, how worship shapes our theology, why local songwriting is important, and how the church is pursuing thoughtful, beautiful, and diverse expression...

What does the Bible really say about sex and sexuality — and why does it matter today?   In this message from 1 Corinthians 6, Tyler talks about sexuality, relationships, culture, healing, boundaries, shame, grace, and God’s design for human flourishing. Through this conversation, we’re challenged to see sexuality not as something shameful, but as something powerful, sacred, and worthy of wisdom,...

Terrence continued in A Series on the Body with a powerful message on Resurrection Hope from 1 Corinthians 15. In this message, he reminded us that the resurrection of Jesus is central to the Christian faith and the foundation of our hope. Because Christ rose from the grave, believers can live with confidence that death is not the end and that God’s promises for the future are secure. The gospel s...

As artificial intelligence becomes a bigger part of everyday life, Tyler explores how it’s shaping not just our routines, but our hearts, minds, and spiritual lives. While AI can be a helpful tool, it also raises important questions about how we live as followers of Jesus in a rapidly changing world. Looking through a biblical lens, we’re challenged to consider: Are we using technology to reflect...

This weekend, Tomara continued our series on the Body, focusing on shame and insecurity. Lindsay McKenzie joined her with a powerful message, speaking to moms, daughters, and young girls navigating the pressures of a beauty-driven world—while reminding all of us of a truth we need to hear: you are beautiful because you were created in the image of a beautiful God.   The world is going to tell you...

Terrence invites us to honestly examine how we’re living in our bodies, especially when our desires feel out of control. This message isn’t about shame or behavior fixes, it’s about God’s mercy and real transformation. Drawing from Romans 7, he reminds us that there’s an internal conflict within us, we often don’t do what we want because of a deeper spiritual battle between the flesh and the Spiri...

This weekend, Tyler kicked off a new series called “A Series on the Body,” exploring what the Bible teaches about our physical bodies in a culture full of confusion and tension around them. At the foundation is this truth: your body matters to God. Scripture teaches that we are made of both body and soul, created with purpose, and designed for eternal union. Our bodies are not disposable or second...

This message walks through the final hours of Jesus’ life in the Gospel of Mark, and reveals a Messiah no one expected.   While people were looking for a conquering king, Jesus came as a suffering Savior. Betrayed, abandoned, falsely accused, and crucified, He endured the cross, not because He was guilty, but because we were.   What looked like defeat was actually victory. What seemed unfair was a...

This Easter, we explored the resurrection through the Gospel of Mark, and discovered one of the most unexpected endings in all of Scripture. While other accounts highlight bold faith and celebration, Mark leaves us with fear, confusion, and silence. The disciples don’t look like heroes—they look like people who missed it. But that’s exactly the point. The resurrection isn’t just proof that Jesus i...

This weekend, Tyler continued our series, “The Gospel According to Mark,” by looking at a powerful moment in Jesus’ final days—when one unexpected person truly understood who He was. While religious leaders plotted against Jesus and even His own disciples missed the point, an unnamed woman recognized that Jesus was not just a king, but a Savior who had come to die. In an act of bold and costly wor...

This weekend, Terrence continued our series, “The Gospel According to Mark,” by focusing on Jesus as the Suffering Servant. While many expected a powerful Messiah who would conquer kingdoms, Jesus revealed a different kind of mission—one marked by rejection, betrayal, and condemnation. As He predicted His death, we see that He didn’t walk toward the cross blindly, but willingly, knowing that His s...

One storm. One command. One question that still echoes today: Who is this man? This week, Terrence explored that question through the Gospel of Mark. Again and again, people encounter Jesus in moments of fear, need, and confusion—and each moment reveals something greater about Him. He shows authority over chaos, provision for every need, and deliverance far beyond what anyone expected. Yet the rea...

This weekend, Tyler kicked off our new series, “The Gospel According to Mark.” In the Gospel of Mark, the word gospel means “Good News,” and the heart of that good news is that Jesus is King. While many people think of the gospel only as forgiveness of sins and the promise of heaven, Mark shows a bigger picture: through Jesus, God’s kingdom has arrived.   Jesus demonstrated this kingdom by healing...

In this Bible study sermon, Tyler explores the Gospel of Mark and its central question: Who is Jesus? Mark opens boldly: Jesus is “the Messiah, the Son of God.” But as the story unfolds, we see that He is not the kind of Messiah people expected. He teaches with authority, performs miracles, forgives sins, and draws crowds. But instead of presenting a conquering king, Mark shows us a Savior who emb...

This weekend, we wrapped up our Abide series with a powerful Lent Prayer & Worship gathering focused on the spiritual practice of Sunday worship and gathering together as the Church. Drawing from Hebrews 10, Terrence reminded us that perseverance in faith is not an individual pursuit. We are called to encourage one another, hold fast to hope, and resist the temptation to drift. Gathering on Su...

Do you need rest today? Terrence acknowledges what we all feel…exhaustion. Whether from work, parenting, driving, lack of sleep, constant news, or simply trying to keep up with life, there is a collective weariness in our culture. While some fatigue is unavoidable, much of it stems from our own striving. We often live like “little gods,” trying to control outcomes and earn our value. In that minds...

The series introduces spiritual practices that help believers live more intentionally connected to God, and this week’s focus is celebration. Celebration is not a distraction from faith but a vital expression of it. Scripture shows that God is not opposed to joyful celebration, He initiates it, commands it, and participates in it. Tyler’s message traces celebration through the biblical story: Crea...

What Will They Remember About You? There’s a moment in Scripture where a woman’s life is remembered… not by her words, but by her actions and the needs she quietly met. Her generosity was steady, personal, and practical. When she died, the community gathered not with words, but with tangible evidence of her impact. Her name was Tabitha. Biblical generosity is more than giving money, it is a way of...

We missed you this weekend and hope you stayed safe and warm. We’re looking forward to being together again this Sunday! This week in our Abide series, Terrence focused on abiding in gratitude, anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a daily practice that keeps us connected to Christ. When w...

In this message from the Abide series, the church is invited into the transforming practice of confession as a vital rhythm in a Rule of Life that helps believers grow closer to God and one another. Rooted in 1 John 1:8–10 and James 5:16, Terrence’s message teaches that confession is not about shame or punishment, but about truth-telling, agreeing with God about our sin so that forgiveness, healin...
