It’s that time of year when we are making lists. More fun, balanced family, better finances… Could it be that the ability to successfully navigate 2015 will not be through resolving to do more, but resolving to develop character? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Character - The Forgotten Resolution Reading: 1 Corinthias 13:1-8 (NIV)

For most the New Year is a time to make resolutions for the year ahead. What would it look like if in 2015 you put God first in those resolutions and sought to go deeper with Him? How could you learn God's Word and become obedient to it this year? Speaker: Jessie Skelly Series: Revelation, Resolution Reading: Luke 6:46-49

As you reflect on the year that's been, what has God been revealing to you? Have you been you prayerfully dependent on Him in 2014? What would it look like if your prioritise time with God in prayer in 2015? Speaker: Jessie Skelly Series: Revelation, Resolution - Prayerfully Dependant Reading: Luke 6:46-49

What if you could find a happiness and joy that flowed regardless of your circumstances? The message of Christmas shows us that understanding that Jesus not only God but God WITH US means you can.

The message of Christmas tells us that something "out of this world" happened. God broke into our existence in the form of a baby. If this is really true, then how might this God "with you" provide a resource for your hopes that can push far beyond the things around you? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: God With Us - In Our Hopes REading: Luke 2:4-12 (NIV)

The message of Christmas tells us Jesus Christ was really human with us. He suffered. Here’s someone who knows everything we know. Have you been betrayed this year? So has he. Have you been isolated or lonely this year? So has he. Have you been broke this year? So has he. Have you faced death this year? So has he. What happens when you truly believe in a God who has been willing to go through all...

As we head toward Christmas it reminds us that in our culture, the supernatural may be scoffed at and time and space are a common reality. Christmas tells us that Jesus “the baby” is not just God but God WITH US. Here in Christianity we not only have God but a God who is willing to get in the mess... how should that affect how we live? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: God With Us Week 1: In Our Mess-Up...

In a world where people feel fact should be kept public and faith is should be kept private, how does the message of Jesus (The Gospel) help people live lives of distinction, excellence and conviction as they engage the culture around them? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: What I See, Shapes Who We'll Be Week 4: The Culture Reading: Colossians 3:23-25

The message of Jesus does more than just connect Christians to each other, it connects them to those in their cities. What would happen if society saw Christians as not only distinct FROM the world but essentially FOR the world around them? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: What I See Shapes, Who We'll Be Reading: Jeremiah 29:4-14 (NIV)

How you see the message of Jesus (The Gospel) will shape what the community of Jesus (the Church) will be. Christian community is more than just a supportive bunch of people; it is an alternate society. And it is through this alternate human society that God shapes us into who and what we are designed to be. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: What I See Shapes, Who We'll Be Reading: Matthew 5:13-16 (TNIV...

The message about Jesus (The Gospel) changed the course of history literally overnight. How you see that message affects everything. Your view of God. Your view of yourself. Your view of others. Your view of the world around you. So the question is, in a world where religion and different theologies can influence our perspectives... Do I see the Gospel clearly? For, “what I see, will shape who we'...

In a “Connect the Dots puzzle”, the dots are numbered. It’s often easy to understand what the next step should be to complete the pattern. In connecting life’s dots, it doesn’t come that easy, right? The real question in applying wisdom is: How do I get God’s guidance?

Join us for an interactive service of discussion on the recent sermon series “Connect the Dots: The Significance of Wisdom”. We will hear from a range of Northsiders on the insights they have gained from this series.

Wisdom is not having a technique that helps you make right choices and decisions. It’s having character of the mind and the heart that enables you to make the right choices in the places where the rules don’t apply. The question now is: How do you get that character? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Connect the Dots Reading: Proverbs 4:11-27 (NIV)

There are decisions we need to make in every area of our lives...work, family, relationships, friendships. However, if we don't make those decisions wisely, we'll blow up the lives of the people around us and even ourselves. Therefore making a right or good decision is not enough…we need to be wise. The question is then, how do we get wisdom? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Connect the Dots Reading: P...

In world full of complex realities… is just 'being good' what you really need the most? What happens when multiple good decisions could be made? How do you know which one? Now you are seeing the significance of wisdom. In this new series, Sam Haddon will explore the nature of wisdom, and how it helps us 'Connect the Dots.'
