Northwest Gospel Church - Eastside

Andrew Murch · This week, our text brings us to the Apostle Paul teaching the Christians in Ephesus about the new life they have in Christ. Paul also directs them in how they should live their lives in light of this new life. He calls them to cast off their old sinful selves and put on their new selves. Here, we see that the lie loses it luster once you've met the Truth.

Andrew Murch · The Apostle Paul continues to teach and edify the Christians of the church in Ephesus. Paul's teaching in this text centers on Christ's work to build His Church. Through various gifts and people, Jesus is building up His Church in unity, in maturity, and in Christ-likeness. In this section of Ephesians 4, we learn that Christ uses every single Christian to build His Church.

Sam Cassese · This week we come to a turning point in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians. X created unity so maintain it. As Paul instructs the Church at Ephesus in how they should conduct themselves, he calls them to unity in how they identify, in how they live together, and in what they believe.

Andrew Murch · He is risen! This week, our text brings us to the Apostle Paul explaining a mysterious gospel truth. Jesus has destroyed the power of death. Christians do not need to fear death, because we are no longer slaves to sin. Paul declares that glorious truth that when Jesus rolled away the stone he took away the sting of death.

Andrew Murch · This week brings us to another prayer from the Apostle Paul. He writes to his readers, focusing on the power and work of the Triune God, in order that his readers would grow in spiritual maturity and strength. Through this prayer, we see that we need God's power to live as God's people.

Andrew Murch · This week, we come to Ephesians 3. In this section we see Paul informing his readers of the mystery of the gospel, that Gentiles are coheirs along with Jews in Christ. Paul explains to the readers that the mystery of Christ revealed displays the plan of God fulfilled.

Andrew Murch · This week, our text looks at unity between Jew and Gentile Christians. Paul calls on these Gentile Christians to remember that they were once far off and strangers to God, but through Jesus now equal with the Jews. We see that Christ embraced the cross to reconcile us.

Andrew Murch · This week, we move into the next chapter of Ephesians. In Ephesians 2:1-10, we continue to see Paul explain our sinful condition, God's intention to bring his elect back to himself, and how God executes his plan of salvation and redemption. Paul continues his letter declaring that it is the gift of God that makes those dead in sin alive in him.

Sam Cassese · This week, we see a prayer of thanksgiving from the Apostle Paul. Paul selflessly prays for the spiritual needs of the Christians reading the letter. Reading this grateful prayer, Paul's exhortation to his fellow Christians, we pray, "Lord, open our eyes."

Sam Cassese · This week our focus turns from God the Father and God the Son (Eph. 1:1-12) and turns to God the Holy Spirit. In Him, we have our salvation secured and our future inheritance guaranteed. In this text, we see Paul declaring that the presence of God's Spirit prompts the praise of God's glory.

Andrew Murch · As Paul gets into the meat of his letter to the Ephesians, we are given both the gospel story and the proper response to that story. This anthem of praise not only speaks of God's praiseworthiness, it also tells us who we are because of his great work... and our response? Praise!

Andrew Murch · When you receive a letter, a few questions are of utmost importance. Who wrote it? Who did they write it to? And what are they trying to say? As we begin our study of the book of Ephesians, we see that the letterhead says, “God our Father,” and the message begins, “Grace and peace.”

Andrew Murch · Jesus is on the move. He is healing the sick, saving sinners, and calling people to follow him. In today's text, we see Jesus call yet another unlikely disciple. He dines with sinners, offends the religious elite, and unveils more about his upside-down kingdom.

Andrew Murch · A leper and a paralytic... in the first-century, there was quite a stigma attached to both the leprous and the paralyzed. One was a sign of uncleanliness, the other a supposed sign of generational sin. Yet when Jesus comes into the picture, we see not only the power to heal, but also the power to forgive sins.

Andrew Murch · With his ministry in full swing, Jesus is drawing crowds and teaching them about the kingdom of God. He's healing people and, in today's text, he begins calling his first disciples. As we dig in to Luke 5, we see that the instruments of Jesus’ mission are the recipients of Jesus’ mission: sinners saved by His grace.

Andrew Murch · As Jesus' ministry gets into full swing, we begin to see a glimpse of the kingdom that Jesus came to inaugurate. While God's kingdom looks far different than the world we live in, in the work of Jesus we find the announcement of God's reign. In today's text, we see that in God's kingdom, the power of Satan is defeated, the presence of sickness is eliminated, and the purpose of the S...

Ben Potloff · The ministry of Jesus has begun, and he's headed to his hometown. As Jesus is rejected by those in Nazareth, we see who Jesus is, what he came to do, and we're faced with the same question as his original audience: how will we respond?

Andrew Murch · text this week takes us to the baptism, genealogy, and temptation of Jesus Christ. Here, we see Jesus face Satan and remain standing where Adam fell.

Andrew Murch · Exiting the Christmas narrative, we arrive at Luke 3. Today's text brings us back to John the Baptist, son of Elizabeth and Zachariah, and his message of the coming Judgement Day.

Todd Miles · preaches on Luke 2:21-52.

Andrew Murch · Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the eve of Christmas, we look at an often overlooked character in the Christmas story. Caesar Augustus was perhaps the most powerful man in the known world at this time, but he stands in stark contrast to the King who was being born in Bethlehem.

Andrew Murch · It's in Luke 2 that we find the Christmas story... a climax to the biblical story... an answer to the question of the entire Old Testament. Today's text takes us to a manger in Bethlehem, where we witness the birth of Jesus.

Andrew Murch · The plan is in place. Mary has visited Elizabeth, and even from the womb John the Baptist proclaims the Christ. In today's text, we see John's birth, and the proclamation of his father, Zechariah.

Ben Potloff · Joy... it's a word we hear and see a lot this time of year. And it's a word that describes the characters in today's text. Mary has been visited by an angel, Elizabeth has been given a son, and John proclaims the Savior from the womb. And in all of this, we see that the coming of Jesus is joyful because the character of God is faithful.
