Northwest Gospel Church - Eastside

As we come to Philippians 1:8, Paul turns his attention to his affection for the Philippian Church and his prayers for them. It is "A Prayer for True Life." Join Pastor Andrew as he shows us that Jesus + Nothing = Everything. This is the third message in the Surprised by Joy" series.

Grace. It is a powerful gift. It is a God-given gift. A gift we are not to hoard. We are participants and partners in Grace. In this second message in the series "Surprised By Joy", we see that Paul encourages us that God's Grace is what motivates us to live a life for the mission of the gospel. For when grace unites us, truth come through us.

A new year provides opportunity to start things anew. It includes the joy that starting something new brings. This week Pastor Andrew starts a new series: "Philippians: Surprised by Joy, Penned in Prison". In a message about "Servants, Saints, and Assurance" we learn that God finishes what He starts. This includes you.

Merry Christmas! In this last message in the "God With Us" series, Pastor Andrew takes us to Isaiah 11:1-9 and shows us that God came to earth not just to save you and I. God is with us, showing us the gift of Jesus is redeeming the world.

As we approach Christmas, there is the temptation to sneak a peek at the gifts we may receive. Last week we saw that the gift we wwere to receive from God was for God to be with us. This week as we examine Isaiah 9:1-7, we see God's motivation for the gift we were to receive. Join Pastor Andrew as he reveals that God's passionate love inspired the gift of His Son.

War is on the horizon of time in the life of Ahaz, King of Judah. Syria and Israel were coming to attack. God sends Isaiah to King Ahaz to encourage him to rely upon God. King Ahaz turns from God and turns to the king of Assyria, Tiglath-pileser to help. King Ahaz sells out in his time of need. God uses this time in history to proclaim that "the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call...

The stage setup in the background was part of our 2011 Kids Christmas Musical. ----------------------------------------------------------- Prequels have been a popular movie genre over the past few years. What happened before the beginning of the story? As we start December, we ask what is the prequel of the birth of Jesus. To go back before the beginning, we look to Isaiah. What did God tell Isai...

God has shown Habakkuk many dire and wonderful things. After all of this, Habakkuk continues his song to God. Even though dire things are coming, Habakkuk proclaims "yet I will rejoice in the LORD". Have you found your "Yet"? As Pastor Andrew concludes this series in Habakkuk 3:17-19, we see Habakkuk singing a final chorus of God's salvation, Yeshua. And as we start this Christmas season, we find...

God has shown Habakkuk his five woes to the Chaldeans. Now Habakkuk sings a song of celebration recognizing God's power and wrath. Habakkuk sees salvation in God's wrath. Even through this wrath, Habakkuk seeks and receives peace from God. This week Pastor Andrew takes us to Habakkuk 3:1-16 showing us that Jesus is God's answer to your prayer for peace. This is the fourth message in the Where's Ha...

When we last saw Habakkuk, he was asking God "Why?". Why was God going to use the Chaldeans to pronounce judgement to Israel? God responds to Habakkuk and previews the why and also proclaims woes to the Chaldeans. This week Pastor Andrew takes us to Habakkuk 2:5-20 showing us God's proclamation of five woes and a promise. The promise that God's wrath has one answer: JESUS.

This week we see Habakkuk asking God 'Why?". Why are you using these methods? Why aren't you making sense? These questions sound just as relevant when we ask them today. Before God gives Habakkuk the answer, Habakkuk commits himself in submission to God's word before he hears the answer. This week Pastor Andrew takes us to Habakkuk 1:12-2:4 showing us that Habakkuk is assured by God that His job i...

This week we start a new series about Habakkuk. As a prophet that grew up in the reign of Josiah, Habakkuk knew peace and God's blessing where he lived in Judah. After the death of Josiah, his sons, Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim returned to evil ways during their reigns. Habakkuk prays to God for justice, complaining how life has changed from faithful Josiah to evil Jehoiakim. God answers Habakkuk's comp...

As Paul concludes his letter, Titus is encouraged to continue to spread the good news of God's salvation. To live what Paul has passed along as an example to those in the churches on Crete. To pass along the grace of God and how it can change our life. As Pastor Andrew comes to the end of Titus, we are also encouraged and instructed by Titus 3:8-15 in a message entitled "The Place of Grace".

How is our character displayed? What do other people see and hear from us? Are we humble and gentle, or are we slaves to hate and being self absorbed? Why did God save us? This week Pastor Andrew opens Titus 3:1-7 and shows us the goodness and loving kindness of God is why he offers us salvation. As a child of God, we do not live like a slave.

As we have been going through Titus, you may have the following questions. How do I live a life of integrity? How do I measure up to this moral standard? It becomes apparent that we cannot achieve this standard of integrity without help. Pastor Andrew brings us to Titus 2:11-15 with "Run-in With Grace". It is through Jesus we find that to live with integrity, you must run into grace.

Is your character founded in the integrity God wants us to display? This week Pastor Andrew takes us to Titus 2:1-10. He shows us the Two Sides that can exist - Empty Religion or Sound Doctrine. In this fourth week in Titus, we learn that your character reveals your God.

As Paul continues his letter to Titus, he continues to address Integrity. Do we live a life of integrity when we are duplicitous? The battle for integrity is a war against duplicity. Pastor Andrew brings us to Titus 1:10-16 and shows us to live with integrity, we must die to duplicity. This is the third message in the book of Titus.

What does a man of integrity look like? How does he act? This week Pastor Andrew continues in Titus looking a five traits that a man of integrity should not exhibit and then six traits that he should exhibit. In this second week in Titus, we look at Titus 1:5-9 in a message entitled "The Man".

The New Testament letter of Titus, written by the Apostle Paul, encourages the young pastor to teach his people to act like they believe. Paul is not calling them to "fake it" through their actions, but to stop faking it in their life of faith. The call of the book of Titus is the call to real faith, authentic belief and knowledge of the truth of God, which works its way into the lives of God's pe...

Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the psalmist Asaph wrote a song about a vine - Psalm 80. Now as Jesus is spending His last days with His disciples, He brings them to this song and tells them that He, Jesus is the True Vine. He also tells them that only as being a part of the True Vine can they, and we, produce results that are pleasing to God. This week Pastor Andrew takes us through John...

In our fifth week in the "I AM" series, Pastor Andrew looks at John 11:1-53 and the death of Lazarus. You might wonder... If Jesus loved Lazarus, why wait until Lazarus had died before going to see him? Was Jesus just running behind schedule? Or did He have a higher purpose in waiting? The resurrection of Lazarus set into motion the ultimate plan of God. You are a part of this plan. Join us as we...

Shepherds have special relationships with the flock they tend. They know more about the sheep than its name. Alternately, hired hands do not have this same relationship, They flee at the first sign of danger. In this message entitled "Dying to Live", Pastor Andrew shows us the qualities that Jesus describes about Himself as He proclaims "I AM the Good Shepherd". This is the fourth week of the seri...

Pastor Andrew looks at Jesus being The Door to his sheep in this third week of the "I AM" series with a message entitled "Sheep".

All you have known is darkness. Being born blind, everything is black. What would it be like to be healed of blindness? After years of only knowing darkness, to see for the first time, Light. In this second message in the "I AM" series, Pastor Andrew shows us a man that was healed of blindness to see the light - twice. We look at John 9 in this message entitled "The Blind Sight".

Are you searching for IT? If not, what are you doing? If you can get a hold of IT all your problems will be solved. Your life will never be the same. You will finally be satisfied. Everything will change. In this message entitled "IT", Pastor Andrew explains exactly what IT is, and how you can get it. This sermon begins the "I AM" series with John 6:22-40.
