Northshore Community Church

"If I disappear tomorrow, no one will even notice." That was one of the most common phrases from a research study that looked at the effects of loneliness. Whether you've thought yourself, chances are there are people around you who struggle with not having enough close relationships. The reason? God created you to be in community, not just talk about the weather and sports, but deep, genuine rela...

Curiosity can be a powerful tool to discover more about who God is and get to the root of questions like who is Jesus, how do I have faith, why do I pray, what is the meaning of life, and the question we explored this week, why did Jesus die? Featured this week is a video produced by Alpha, a program that helps those who wrestle with life's big questions or are trying to understand God's love. To...

Many have an unspoken fear—that maybe God isn't big enough. You might go to church and say all the right things, but how you live daily might tell a different story. If you're constantly worrying about the future, chasing after money and status, or trying to control everything, it's like you're saying God can't handle it. But here's the thing: When you find the courage to say, "I can't, but God ca...

God loves you and has a plan for you, but the ball is in your court. You must move your faith into action, which often requires courage. We see that illustrated in the story of King David's head of security. This man didn't have the influence of a king, but he still found courage in God to make an impact that changed the world forever. Consider these questions to find the courage to move faith int...

You may find yourself stuck at some point in your life. Stuck by your past or from fear of the present, unable to move forward into the power and promise of God in your life. The strange yet powerful story of Lot's wife shows that because of the cross and the invitation available, you can move forward in Jesus.

The story of Hosea is extreme, but it expresses of God's limitless love for you. God asked the prophet Hosea to do something scandalous, unbelievable, and even dangerous to reveal the good news that God passionately cares for you.

When you think about connecting with God, prayer and bible reading quickly come to mind. Have you ever considered drawing closer to God by meeting needs and caring for others? Encountering God is not only a private experience between God and you, but it also includes how you engage with others. Jesus calls us to "love the Lord your God" as the first and greatest commandment. And the second part of...

God is always inviting you to know him more deeply. Just as you want to be fully loved, so does God, and the way to do that is by seeking Him through prayer and worship. Get out of your comfort zone, and you will find God. When you celebrate and respond to God, he draws near. There's something powerful about coming together in corporate worship to remember who God is and what He's done. If you nee...

In this message, explore passages from God's Word that shed light on the role of the mind in your relationship with Him. See how renewing the mind contributes to our spiritual growth. With each scripture, we ask: - Why does the mind matter?  - What does a mind engaged with God look like?  - And most importantly, how can we practically engage our minds in this pursuit? Explore the intellectual path...

You may have cherished family traditions, like a yearly vacation spot or unique dishes reserved for holidays. These customs and symbols are not merely superficial routines; they hold profound significance in our lives. This message explores how these seemingly ordinary practices connect you to God and can remind you of your place within His larger story. Spiritual traditions show that you are a pa...

During this series, we aim to have an authentic, alive connection with our Creator; for some, that means withdrawing and removing distractions. Reflection and meditation can be rewarding ways to sense the nearness of God. And even if that doesn't describe you, learning to incorporate this practice will deepen your connection with Him. 

One way that many people connect with God is by being outdoors. Whether you love nature or not, you’ve probably appreciated a sunrise or been overwhelmed by the size of His creation. As we’ll continue to explore in the series, not everyone experiences God in the same way, and being outside is just one of the ways. Whether this describes you or not, you’ll find helpful perspectives on seeing and he...

Prayer is a living conversation with a mighty God. It's more than praying for our meals or calling out to God when we're in need; it's about communion with our Creator. Just like the disciples who yearned to learn the art of prayer, we must also embrace it as a learned practice. When you look at the acts of the disciples, we see that they encountered the Holy Spirit in profound and remarkable ways...

God has done and continues to do, amazing things in and through Northshore Community Church. In the service, we pause to celebrate and show our gratitude for how lives are being transformed and changed in every area of this church and around the world. And as we look to the future, we anticipate the greater things God will do.

We live in a world that is broken and full of pain. Thankfully, God is at work to restore and renew creation to wholeness. Through the Holy Spirit, God invites every follower of Jesus to be a part of the mission to transform the world and lead people to say yes to Jesus. 

A regular-sized domino can knock over a domino as tall as the Empire State Building in under 30 dominos. That’s the power of a single leap of faith, and that’s the impact we can have. It can be challenging to lead people to say Yes to Jesus, but Jesus only needs one small act of faith. No matter how much we can give, God can multiply it.

Most of us have been in situations that seem impossible. We may have faced something out of our control and wondered, "Where is God" or "How will we get through." As we continue our series called Greater Things, we find hope in these truths, God is present, and nothing is too hard for Him.

Jesus sacrificed for us, giving His life so we could live. Sacrifice is the way of the kingdom. It's how God operates, and it's how He calls us to live. But sacrifice isn't meant to be a burden or a call to a miserable life. As we discover in this message, Kingdom living brings abundant joy. And that joy comes from sacrifice.

Have you ever been in a situation like a meeting or a conversation with something to accomplish or do and you just wondered to yourself, what's the plan? Where are we going? What's going to happen next? In this second week of Greater Things, we talk about what God's plan actually is, what His intention is for our world and what that has to do with you and with me.

God calls us to live by faith. Not foolishly or blindly, but with bold, sacrificial faith. God called Abraham and Sarah to leave everything behind before He told them where they were going. They had to live daily by faith, and God used them to change the world. God can do that again through us, and He can do even greater things than we’ve seen before. Because the greater our faith, the greater He...

Prayer is simply a conversation with our Creator, and this message will inspire you to come honestly before God and experience His presence in a new way.

Have you ever found yourself in a place where things got so bad or so broken that you thought it was over? Perhaps it was a relationship, a career, or a dream you had for your life. Well, the message of the cross is that it's not over. Jesus can overcome even the most hopeless situations, which is what resurrection is all about. Easter doesn't start with celebration; it begins with surrender becau...

In this message, we explore the life-changing impact of Jesus and the incredible healing and transformation available to everyone. At Northshore, we believe that Jesus came to bring healing, life, and change to all who come to Him and that His power to change lives is limitless.

What does it truly mean to surrender everything and enter into God's kingdom? In this powerful sermon, we'll explore the shocking story of the only one who said 'no' to Jesus' invitation, and discover the cost of following Him. Are you ready to take the challenge?

The whole Gospel means that Jesus cares about your soul and your body. Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand people because he didn't want them to leave and faint on the road from hunger. This shows us that God is concerned about justice here on Earth just as much as He cares about your spiritual life. It's the whole Gospel.
