Northwest Gospel Church - Eastside

For our second week of To Be The Church, Pastor Andrew walks us through Jeremiah 29, a word from God to His people in exile. The church is not a place to escape from the city or culture, our mindset in exile is to trust in the sovereignty of God.

Join us as we kick off our new series, To Be The Church. Pastor Andrew shows us that being the church means we hold fast to the teaching of Scripture and we are faithfully devoted to one another. It means we become a strategic outpost for the mission of Jesus. It means we have to come together to be the church.

In the beginning of Genesis 3, the serpent bursts on the scene signaling trouble in paradise. We learn that, though it can be quite deceiving, the allure of sin never delivers on its promise and that God responded to Satan’s con with a gospel hammer.

In Genesis 2, we see Adam having dominion but no one to share it with. God created man's perfect complement in woman and He created marriage as the re-union of what was originally one flesh. Stay tuned as we continue our series, Rise & Fall.

As we continue with our series, Rise & Fall, we read in Genesis 2 that God wraps up His work week with a day of rest. Pastor Andrew reminds us that God created man unhindered and unique and that He uniquely plants paradise and places man right in the center of it ... between the trees.

As we continue in the story of creation, Pastor Andrew walks us through how God ended Day 6 of His work week by creating representatives, image-bearers, to rule it. And how God gives provision for His design and His plan.

The creation account was intended to help the people of God distinguish between creation truth and creation myths. Join us as Pastor Andrew discusses 4 of the days of creation, revealing that the gospel confronts us because the creation informs us.

Genesis 1:2. The beginning of God's work week. Is it a coincidence that the first thing that God does is separate the darkness from the light? There is so much in the redemption story that deals with light. Join Pastor Andrew as we see how God, who separated light from darkness, sent Jesus to do that in You.

The creation of the world has been one of the most talked about subjects throughout history. Join in on the kick-off of our new series, Rise and Fall, as Pastor Andrew Murch takes us back to the beginning and reveals through the story of creation that God created all things and all of it is His.

In Paul’s letter to Philemon, he begins by speaking of Philemon’s love for the church and his faith in Jesus. What follows is a plea to Philemon; to reconcile with Onesimus, a former slave who had wronged him. This week, we close this letter, where the Apostle Paul gives us a great example of Christ-centered forgiveness, reminding us that Jesus gave the pound of flesh so that we don’t need to take...

In Paul’s letter to Philemon, he begins by speaking of Philemon’s love for the church and his faith in Jesus (last week’s sermon). What follows is a plea to Philemon; to reconcile with Onesimus, a former slave who had wronged him. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches Philemon 8-17, showing us that the gospel brings together what sin tears apart.

The book of Philemon. A letter from the Apostle Paul to Philemon, a leader in the church at Colossae. While Paul is writing to discuss a few issues in the church, he begins by speaking to the faith and love that they possess; faith in the Lord Jesus and love for one another. Join Pastor Andrew as we begin three weeks in Philemon.

After spending about five months in the book of 1 Peter, our time comes to a close. When Peter penned these words over 2,000 years ago, he was speaking to the elect exiles dispersed throughout the region. Now, in the 21st century, we are in the Pacific Northwest, thousands of miles from the original writer's location. His message is as true for us today as it was then, and that is that the God of...

As men, we are called to lead our families. 1 Peter 5 gives us the qualifications for an elder... a leader in the church family. But honestly, these elder qualifications are a great roadmap for every Christian man. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches on Father’s Day.

What are we to do with suffering? The Bible gives us very clear direction in such circumstances, yet it seems that Christians still have a very hard time knowing what to do with suffering. Peter gives us great instruction throughout his letter. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches 1 Peter 4:12-19.

Jesus reminded us that others would know we belong to Him by our love. It was Edmund Clowney that said: "It is the reach of God's love that stretches our love. We love because he first loved us. Our love, kindled by God's love, is stretched by exercise." Join Pastor Andrew as we dive into 1 Peter 4:7-11.

1 Peter 3:18-22 is one of the most obscure passages in the New Testament. Just what does Peter mean when he speaks of "the spirits in prison," "the days of Noah," and Jesus' proclamation to them? The great Reformer Martin Luther refers to this passage with confusion, saying "I do not know for a certainty just what Peter means." Join us we tackle this great passage.

We have been called out of darkness, and now, with the lights on, we see things differently. How we interact with those around us is vitally important, and Peter has a lot to say to Christians in this regard. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches from 1 Peter 3.

1 Peter 3:1-7 has many words of instruction to wives and husbands. And often, these words have been used to manipulate, dominate, and exploit. Our culture has also given its opinion on marriage as an outdated and broken institution. But as he wishes to do with all of us, God’s plan is to redeem marriage. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches the words of Peter.

Join us as Pastor Andrew takes us through 1 Peter 2:18-25.

The truth of the resurrection calls us to respond. For some, it's a celebration, while others need to consider, and even more should have cause for concern. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches from 1 Peter on Easter Sunday.

Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. These are Peter's words to the the elect exiles scattered throughout Asia Minor, and they are his words for us today. In a culture where complaining about our government is commonplace... even expected, Peter calls us to respond in a different manner: "Do good."

When we sin as Christians, it’s easy to get discouraged... but 1 Peter 2:11-12 reminds us that even though we’ve been saved by grace, the passions of our flesh are still waging war against our souls. Join Associate Pastor Sam Cassese as he preaches from this great text.

Throughout Scripture, we see Jesus referred to as the “cornerstone.” Even back in the Old Testament, the prophets looked forward to Jesus in this way. Because of this truth, we know that our salvation comes from Jesus alone. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches 1 Peter 2:1-10, reminding us that God gives us mercy so that we can bring Him glory.
