Northside Church - Sydney

North to south. Here to there. Transition doesn’t happen without the bridge, and yet its significance is often overlooked. In this series, our new Senior Pastor Sam Haddon, will explore the Bible’s insight into life's transitions. Whilst destination is important, whether or not we get there, will first depend of how we deal with “The Bridge”.

Graham will take questions from the congregation as well as present the second part of his message on what he believes to be the vital components of a healthy and vibrant local church in the 21st Century... Series: In Conclusion Pt 2 Speaker: Graham Agnew

Jesus stands unmistakably as the pivotal person of human history. One third of the world's population have some allegiance to Him, or at least give assent to His teachings. But in a world where religious tolerance reigns supreme and many faiths compete for peoples attention, it can be challenging to make assertions about the uniqueness of Christ. Cont.

On this, his second last Sunday as Senior Pastor of our church, Graham will present a message based on what he believes to be the vital components of a healthy and vibrant local church in the 21st Century... Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Conclusion - Part 1

Some wise person once said: "The Church of Jesus Christ is the only organisation in the world that exists primarily for the benefit of non-members". It's a clever way of stating the primary task of the Christian Church is to reach out to others in love, care, compassion and service. The call of Christ to "Go..." is more urgent today than ever! Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Case You Missed It We...

What do you do when you are not sure of what lies ahead? Abraham had greatness in the face of a completely uncertain future. He had no idea what was coming, and yet he lived a life of greatness, a big life. How can we? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Trusting the Unseen - Faith As Commitment Reading: Hebrews 11

A recurring theme throughout the pages of the Bible - and especially in the teachings of Jesus, is that of unity. Jesus prayed for His disciples and pleaded with His Father "that they might be one". The Body of Christ is always at it's most effective when there's harmony and unity among its members. Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: In Case You Missed It Week 2: The Strength of Unity is Incalculable

Trusting The Unseen – Faith as Conviction Some people, when faced with tough circumstances, are crushed, while some on the other hand emerge even stronger. How do you live a life of such centredness and balance, fearlessness and greatness, that you can face anything? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Trusting the Unseen - Faith As… Week 2: Faith As Conviction

During his 16 years of ministry at Northside, a number of themes have kept recurring in Graham’s weekly sermons. In this, his final series as Senior Pastor, Graham re-visits four of those themes as a way of reinforcing to the Northside congregation what he believes to be the essential truths of Christianity. There’s not been a time in recent history, when the Church in Australia has experienced mo...

Trusting the Unseen: Faith as Understanding Some people when faced with tough circumstances are crushed, while some on the other hand emerge even stronger. How do you live a life of such centredness and balance, fearlessness and greatness, that you can face anything? Reading; Hebrews 11:1-7 (NIV) Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: Trusting the Unseen Week 1: Faith As Conviction

Defining Moments – I Can Graham had just graduated from Theological College in Melbourne and was filing out of a huge hall with his fellow graduates, while the congregation sang the old hymn “Be Thou my Vision”. It was at that defining moment Graham sensed God was asking “Can you accept a vision from me to build a great church?” His quiet, inner response was “I Can” and that moment has helped shap...

Graham was standing next to a beautiful young woman at the front of a church in Ipswich, Queensland, when the minister asked the question: “Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?” He answered with an emphatic “I Do” and that response began a union now in its 42nd year. In Graham’s own words, the impact of this defining moment on his life and ministry has been incalculable. Speaker: Graham...

Graham was 15 when he stepped forward at the close of a service in a small church meeting in Wiley Park and answered “I Will” to the question posed by the Minister: “Will you now take Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?” This defining moment was to ultimately lead to a lifetime of service and ministry. Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: Defining Moments - I Will (1/3) Reading: Romans 5:1-11 (GNT)

Do you sometimes find people infuriating to the point where you seriously wonder if you’re the only “normal person” in your family, work place, and among your friends? What does the Bible say about getting on with others? Speaker: Graham Agnew Series: Am I The Only Normal Person Left?

An Unconventional Freedom – For Good Not Evil Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: An Unconventional Freedom (4/6) Reading: Romans 12:14-21 (NIV)

You and I have an enemy and we are in his cross hairs on a daily basis. Thankfully we are blessed with protection from the Armour of God and while every piece is vital to our spiritual survival, there is one piece in particular that can make us bulletproof to the enemy and will ensure that we stand firm in our faith with a consistency that leads to a victorious life.

Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: An Unconventional Freedom Reading: Romans 8:1-17 (NIV)

The events of that very first Easter Sunday form the very epicentre of the Christian Faith! As Paul says: “If Christ be not raised, our faith is in vain” (1 Corinthians 5:17). In other words, without the Resurrection, Christianity is reduced to little more than an attractive moral and ethical code – but with no power to live it out. The Empty Tomb is the most important of all the Easter locations!...

The Cross changes our relationship with God and to God. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: An Unconventional Freedom (2/6) Reading: Romans 5:1-10 (NIV)

Theologians have grappled with the death of Jesus for centuries, trying to put into words what it meant for the Son of God to die for the sins of the world. However, at the bottom line, it’s not so much an explanation we need but rather, courage to accept the invitation which the Cross extends – namely: to be reconciled to God, through Christ’s death.
