Northside Church - Sydney

As we look at Luke 11, specifically verses 9 onwards, it is easy to view these verses with God as our vending machine. Dollar in, can of coke out. But what if there is something far more powerful and divine happening each time we pray than getting what we want? We will be exploring together the tension of asking and receiving, seeking and finding. Speaker: Adrian Smith Reading: Luke 11:9-13

Jesus made a promise to Peter when He said "I will build my church." How comforting to know that this important task isn't left to us alone, but that He chooses to partner with us on. Speaker: Barry Tramacchi Reading: Matthew 16:15-18

What does it mean for you to ‘live the life’? Will winning the lottery lead you there? Will finding your perfect partner, or gaining the ideal job or travelling to a remote exotic location drinking Pina Coladas do it for you? How will you discover what it means to ‘live the life’?

These days truth is hard to come by. The once trustworthy ‘news’ is even being challenged with the notion of ‘fake news’. Who can we trust? Whose voice should we listen to? Where will you go to discover truth? Speaker: Andrew Ranucci

There are so many ways we can choose to go in life, and authors, academics and experts are constantly offering us the latest and "best" way to live. The fact is - who we follow determines our destination. What's your destination in life and who will you follow to get there?

On Sunday 15 September, Northside stood with over 11,000 churches around the world to see the reality of modern day slavery, understand God’s heart for justice and join the global movement to end slavery.

We joined as one church for Celebration Sunday, praise God for all he’s done among us this year, and looking forward to what we believe He’s going to do into the future.

No matter your age, there is always someone you can learn from and someone you can teach. Find out how you can invest what you have learned in the next generation to help them flourish.

Jesus often taught people to get their intentions right and their actions would follow. Except when it comes to money! In this case, he says, “Do first. Think later.” Why?

Would it surprise you to know Jesus talked about the dangers of money 10 times more than he did the dangers of immorality? Speaker: Sam Haddon

Money and possessions are something we touch and deal with every single day and all throughout the day. If Jesus talked about money more than anything else, then money matters to Jesus. Speaker: Sam Haddon

The ultimate and main way to handle the troubles of life with peace is not just through petitionary prayer, but through worship. Speaker: Sam Haddon

We were blessed to have Jo Saxton, author, speaker, leadership coach, entrepreneur and visionary speak at a combined young adults event at Northside. Every generation of believers have to work out how they will respond to the challenges and opportunities of their day. It’s easy to get distracted with so many voices and priorities vying for attention. Still in Christ we have a chance to discover bo...

This teaching series is showing us the Bible has a unique and real way of dealing with our deepest emotions. What do we learn about fear and how to handle it?

The book of the Bible called the Psalms shows us the reality of human emotions. Here’s a person filled with tears, struggling with doubts about God and about faith. That shouldn’t be in the Bible... right?

What has the Bible got to do with the raw emotions of life like sadness, fear and doubt? Isn’t it just full of rules and instruction? Aren’t Christians always supposed to be happy if God is in your life? In this new series we will see that a section of the Bible called the Psalms provide a vastly different way to deal with them than the rest of the world. The Christian doesn’t stuff their emotions...

Sometimes the Christian life can be frustrating! We’re inspired by the life of Jesus and deeply desire to become like him, but we are often rudely reminded of how far we still have to go. Join us as we explore what it means to be on a genuine journey of transformation, leading us to live into the best version of ourselves. Speaker: Andrew Ranucci

Some of the stories of Jesus are well known to lots of people, whether they claim to follow Jesus or not. Because the words are so familiar, it can sometimes be easy to miss the point of the stories. Speaker: Graham Crowfield

If Christians are to be animated by different virtues, inspired by a different view of humanity and guided by a different source of wisdom from the world around them, what will be different about the way they act at work? Speaker: Emily Hopkins

Is there a way to see the message of Jesus in such a way that you are not affected by either the successes or failures in your work? That is: is it possible to find a freedom both in your work and from your work? Speaker: Sam Haddon

Should faith be part of the workplace? The reality is that Christians live among many underlying belief systems that impact the cultures we operate in. The question is then, does our faith affect the way we work? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:31

Why can work feel frustrating, pointless or like it's the distinguishing mark of our lives? If work is to be a good and wonderful thing, why do we encounter these problems? Does what you do define who you are?

We spend more time working (whether employed or not) than with family and friends. Why is work such a vital part of living a fulfilling life? Why can it be so challenging, and how can we find a freedom both in our work and from our work?

Honour is a significant part of the Christian faith. But what does honouring others actually look like in our world today? How do we do it? Kerrell Ranucci shares with us about the importance of living lives that honour others.

There’s something exciting about the chase, especially when seeking something elusive, just over the hill. What happens when we discover that what we chased didn’t deliver what was hoped for? We are left feeling disillusioned. What are you chasing after in life? In this message we will explore Solomon’s wisdom about chasing after the wind, and exchanging this with the purposefulness of chasing aft...
