Northwest Gospel Church - Eastside

"You are to be holy, for I (God) am holy." What does holiness look like? Are we to outline all of the boundaries of our actions, thoughts, and words, in order to "measure up" for God and His love? Or are we to submit our lives to Christ as we are being sanctified by Him? Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches 1 Peter 1:13-21.

Where is God when we suffer? The prophets who prophesied about the grace that came with Jesus searched, suffered, persevered, trusted, served (God and others), and paved the way for the gospel to be revealed. Where they saw a silhouette, we see Jesus. He is the answer to our suffering. When we say "why?", God says "who."

Faith looks back. Hope looks forward. What Jesus did for us, both on the cross and in his resurrection, call us to faith. We believe that what Jesus said is true. What God is going to do for us at the revelation of Jesus Christ calls us to look forward in hope, knowing that our inheritance is coming. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches 1 Peter 1:3-5.

Christendom is dead. The Christian lifestyle being the societal norm is no longer reality in America. Peter is writing to elect exiles throughout the world. As elect exiles, we’re called to be children of the King.

Over the next several months, we’ll be going line by line through 1 Peter. Today, we take a 30,000 foot view of the book, reading it together and discussing what this means for LifePoint Church. Also today, we’re rolling out To Be The Church, a 9-week initiative that will equip the church to be the church. For more, visit www.tobethechurch.com

The plan of God is being carried out all throughout our world, and God is using His people to carry out His plan. Join Associate Pastor Sam Cassese as we go through Ephesians 3 together, as he reminds us of the plan of God and our part as the church.

Consider the lilies... God’s promise to care for us is just that... a promise. As Christians, we are called to not worry about tomorrow, but to put our trust in Him; not to have anxiety, but to have faith. Join us as Pastor Andrew closes out From Him & Through Him & To Him.

Some Christians preach that if you’re faithful and “good,” God will bless you with wealth. Others preach the opposite, that giving everything away is the only way to be “good” in God’s sight. Join us as Pastor Andrew opens to Luke 12, where we see the correct response: when we loosen our grip on wealth, we tighten our grip on life.

The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom on our finances. Today, Pastor Andrew is looking at the book as a whole, giving us 10 principles to live our lives by as it relates to our money. The big picture? Be faithful.

Culture has a lot to say about the way we view our money. But as with everything, we are called to let the Bible be our guide as we navigate through our budget, finances, and spending habits. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches from Genesis 14, where Abram responds to God’s provision by giving him a tithe.

Join us for the final week of Advent, as Pastor Andrew preaches from Isaiah 55.

Have you ever read through the first 17 verses of the New Testament? Do you usually just skim past, chuckling a little at the absurd names of Jesus’ ancestors? Join us Pastor Andrew dives deep into those names, reminding us of the redemption that came with Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection.

Joy. Do you have it? Isaiah 61 gives us a clear picture of the joy that accompanies the birth of Christ. Though commercials promise us freedom from the things that bind us, Pastor Andrew reminds us that eternal joy must come from an eternal source.

Advent is here. As we ring in the Christmas season at LifePoint, we’re reminded of the hope that we have in Jesus. Join us as Pastor Andrew preaches from Isaiah 35, reminding us that when Jesus gets your hope, you get his joy.

Why are we here? When Jesus left the earth, he had a purpose. If you’ve been with us for awhile, you probably know by now that the tomb is empty and the mission is on. As Christ-followers, we have the opportunity to make God known to those who have not heard him. Listen in as Associate Pastor Sam Cassese reminds why we’re still on the earth.

John 3:16. Likely a verse that can be quoted by most Christ-followers. But how often do we spout off the words and not stop and truly reflect on what this means? If God sent His son to save the world, then the world must need saving, right? In a culture where "your truth" can be "truth" and no one's way to God is wrong, how does John 3:16 fit into that? Join us as Pastor Andrew reminds us that "Jo...

The tomb is empty and the mission is on. Today we see the role of John the Baptist, and how he pointed to the light which is Christ. Jesus was on a mission for us to send us on a mission with him.

Here we are... the end of our journey. But really, it is just the beginning. Before leaving earth, Jesus gave us a mission: “Go into all the world and preach my Gospel.” So here we are, 2013, a community committed to furthering the mission of God. Join us as Pastor Andrew closes out the book of Mark.

The climax of our story has begun. Jesus is crucified. The Jews missed it, the Romans mocked it, but Simon of Cyrene received it. Join us as Pastor Andrew talks about the cross and the curtain, which was torn in the temple at the time of Jesus’ death. Today we celebrate His death, which gave access to God for all.

Barabbas, the thief, the criminal. Every year at this time, Plate would give the people one "free pass;" a criminal to be delivered into their hands. This, he thought, would be a great way to free Jesus, with whom he found no fault. But the crowd called for Barabbas, sending Jesus to the cross. Join Pastor Andrew as he calls us to remember Barabbas, knowing that Jesus' death has freed us from our...

Today, we’re confronted with three courtrooms. The first: the house of the High Priest where Jesus was tried. The second: the courtyard where a servant girl puts Peter on trial for his association with Jesus. The third: ours. Join Pastor Andrew as we conclude our time in Mark 14.

As we near closer to Jesus' death, we see multiple emotions in him... anguish, sorrow, but most of all, submission to his Father's will. Just like Peter in Mark 14, we've all denied him, acting strong in our weakness, acting as if we have it all together. But Jesus' words and actions remind us that he stood strong to save us who are weak.

As we pick up in Mark 14, we come to the famous “Last Supper.” An event that was meant for celebration turned to grief, but was leading to the most beautiful sacrifice in history; for Jesus wasn’t just going to his death, he was going to secure our place at His table.

As Mark 14 begins, we see Jesus reclining at the table of Simon the Leper. Don’t read over that... Simon THE LEPER. The King was eating dinner in the house of a leper. What a beautiful picture of Christ’s love. While there, an unnamed woman rushes in, breaks an alabaster jar, and anoints her King. While the disciples and those at the table complain and criticize, Jesus replies “She has done a beau...

What exactly is the Gospel? Join us for this 2-part, 1-week series on the Gospel, preached from 1 Corinthians 15. This is Part Two, preached by LPC Youth Pastor Drew Saccenti.
