Northeast Christian Podcast

This past Sunday, we welcomed Mark Moore here from Christ Church of the Valley in Arizona to launch our series Roots to Branches where we will dig into developing healthier family relationships. Marked focused on wisdom through the example of Solomon, the wisest man in the world. In Solomon’s story, we see that parenting and relationship failures happen when we stray from God.   Wisdom is not what...

We loved celebrating our risen savior here at Northeast with you! At Easter, we remember the core of our faith and why we have hope. Because He rose, we have forgiveness of sins, a clear purpose for our lives, and freedom from the fear of death. “He is risen - and so shall we be!”

Today, we wrap up our message series, A Journey into Captivity—A Study of Galatians. Today's message centers on preservation. Paul reminds us to stay true to Jesus' teaching and not be swayed by others' attempts to add to it or change it. False teaching puts free people back in chains, and Paul points us back to the truth. Let's be a church that stays true to the gospel and helps others find freed...

In this message, Damian Thompson continues our study of Galatians with the topic of Perseverance.  Persevere through your storms. To persevere through the difficulties in life is a reminder that God is good, his mercy endures, and he is faithful. Damian reminds us that if the problem made it to you, that’s how you know you can endure it. Because God has already tested it, and He proved that you’re...

Terrence continues in our series “A Journey Into Captivity - A Study of Galatians” focusing on Reconciliation. Reconciliation is a state of being. It’s a reality that you live in. It's living in a restored state and renewed practices of relating to one another. It's the sense that reconciliation requires a group of people to embody their shared identity and walk together toward the same goals and...

Mark Moore continues in our series “A Journey Into Captivity - A Study of Galatians” focusing on Mortification. There is a truth of life that applies in many areas, and that by limiting our freedom we are more free. We are most free when we are most dead. Mark highlighted three practices and challenged us to take on one of them this week as a way of combatting the flesh: Fasting—Skip three meals o...

Lent and this prayer and worship service offer us all the same thing… opportunity. What might it mean for us as individuals, but also as a congregation and as a community, to look deeply into the reality of our souls and be reminded why Good Friday and Easter had to happen? Easter is a season of celebration, but it is also a season of reckoning. It's a time when we come face to face with the reali...

On Sunday, Tyler continued our study of Galatians by focusing on Sanctification following Galatians 5:16-23. Paul explains that the Holy Spirit is present to guide us and produce fruit in our lives as we depend on Him. We must trust in the Holy Spirit for guidance, since following our heart can let us down.   How can we tune into the voice of Holy Spirit so that He will be our guide?

In this message, Tyler continues our study of Galatians with the topic of liberation. Not only has the Holy Spirit freed us from the Law, He also guides us into the new law; the law of other-focused love. We are warned to not chain ourselves or others back to the old law (Legalism) and also to not selfishly indulge in our freedom found in Christ (Antinomianism). Which extreme do you tend to lean?...

Tyler continued our Galatians series this weekend, focusing on the topic of Adoption. He reminded us that we are all trapped in the slavery of sin with orphan hearts. But, God wants to restore our hearts and break the chains of bondage. He has already paid the debt and set us free. So, will you remind yourself of your identity today? That you are already adopted by the Most High, the One who claim...

Tyler continues in our series “A Journey Into Captivity – A Study of Galatians” focusing on Justification. Are you living in an awareness of God’s grace? We are all guilty of sin and deserving of punishment. We try to justify ourselves but find that we can’t. But we have been justified through faith in Christ. And through faith, Jesus’ perfect righteousness is credited to us. What’s true of Jesus...

In this message, Terrence Turman continues in our study of the Book of Galatians, focusing on "Revelation". A revelation is the idea of removing a veil to see things clearly. In Galatians, we hear from Paul, a man who experiences a personal unveiling, allowing him to see Jesus as his savior. Paul went from persecuting the Church to proclaiming the sovereignty of Jesus. Seeing Jesus clearly changes...

Tyler kicked off the first Sunday of January with a bible study weekend walking through Galatians. The goal is to better understand the historical circumstances underneath all the doctrine. It turns the book into real life, not just telling you what’s going on, but giving you the story beneath the story. This letter from Paul to Galatia is a specific vision for a new creation community. He says it...

On New Year’s Eve, we concluded our “Finding Peace in an Anxious World” series. Tyler emphasized the significance of self-denial over self-fulfillment. Many of us are trapped in the pursuit of worldly self-fulfillment, but Jesus calls us to deny ourselves and follow Him. God’s way is the best, and without it, our lives will be incomplete. It’s extraordinary to entrust yourself into the hands of Go...

What an incredible weekend of Christmas services celebrating the birth of Jesus! If you’re seeking for someone to heal your heart, guide a lost soul home, or point the way to the path of peace. Jesus can. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus, and Him alone, is all you need this Christmas. His goodness is endless, it’s eternal. And we pray you find HOPE in him. “Because of God’s tender mer...

This weekend, we continued our series Finding Peace in an Anxious World, where Tyler focused on Doctrine > Desire.   What does this exactly mean? You will find more peace when you allow God to direct your life and you will find more anxiety when you allow your desires to direct your life. But it’s your choice.   Jesus can lead you to your innermost desires because He will lead you to the way of...

We are in week 4 of the series Finding Peace in an Anxious World, and Tyler focuses his message on Local Presence over Omnipresence. Omnipresent - “always present”. God is always present everywhere all the time. God alone is… Omnipresent (all-present), Omnipotent (all-powerful), Omniscient (all-knowing). While Christmas is supposed to be about incarnation (God becoming human), we make it about exc...

We’re in week 3 of our Finding Peace in an Anxious World series, and this weekend Tyler encouraged us to choose perseverance in a society that is anxious because of its fragility. The ultimate goal of this series is to equip you with the spiritual truths, strategies, and resources to combat the anxiety that many of us are feeling and often becomes intensified during this Christmas season. Anxiety,...

Our human nature is not God-centered, but self-centered. None of these worldly things have any real power to cure the human heart or heal our sins, but Jesus does. You must walk out of the darkness into the light if you want to find peace in an anxious world, you must choose confession over concealment. So, where is your darkness? Where is your sin? How can confession become a part of your spiritu...

This weekend, we began a new series on Finding Peace in an Anxious World as we prepare for the Christmas season. Terrence spoke about the power of Hope over Despair, that it's not just a mere feeling, but a participation and a commitment. In the Christian life, hope is about being fully committed to a Christian mind. John 14:27 reminds us of the gift of peace that is available to us: "I am leaving...

This weekend, we celebrated how God is working in the life of our church through Global Outreach! Love the ‘Ville Outreach unleashes the love of Jesus in our city and beyond. We partner with global organizations to empower locals and meet the unique needs of their communities by building sustainable ministries. They show what it means to Love the ‘Ville right where they are. You’re invited to join...

This weekend, Tyler finished a series called The Story of the Bible in 14 Books with the Book of Revelation. Revelation is a letter John wrote to seven churches in Asia, unveiling the truth of Jesus Christ. We often come to the Book of Revelation looking for answers about the future or ignore it entirely because it is confusing. Revelation is a blessing for all readers and exists to afflict the co...

In this episode, we discover the power in the writings of Paul through the letter of Philemon. This letter is only 355 words, yet Paul clearly describes to Philemon and the entire body of Christ's followers that having faith in Jesus is to live with radical grace. Paul speaks directly about the tension of the culture and how those with faith in Jesus are supposed to handle disputes. We are called...

Love has a name, His name is Jesus.   In 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses specific issues the Corinthian church is having and shows them how the Gospel, when properly applied, solves the problem.   Love is the answer.   Love in 1 Corinthians   I will put your good before my own. I will put your flourishing before my freedom. I will put your growth before my comfort. I will put God’s way before our wa...

We’re back in our Bible Series as Tyler unpacks the book of Romans. The Letter to the Romans focuses on meeting the people, seeing their problems, understanding Paul’s practical hopes for the church, and grasping Paul’s theology on unity, but there’s one main core idea - fighting for unity. Unity is possible. Jesus is Why, and the Holy Spirit is how. The power that unites us is far greater than an...
