Northpoint Austin Podcast

In this series, we have been exploring identity. In Part 3, we look at the significance of community (who and what we have around us). Healthy community can bring connection,  joy and a fresh perspective. And it is an essential space for discovering authentic self alongside others.  Community can influence and transform your identity. God designed us for community - Jesus modeled it. If you are cu...

If you could see you as God sees you, you’d be ok with you too. In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define. Oftentimes, our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels.  But what if we were only meant to define ourselves in relation to God - created in his image, loved unconditionally just as we are. No...

In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define.  Oftentimes, we define ourselves in relation to someone or something. Our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels. But what if we chose an identity that was non-contingent?

Our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels. But what if we chose an identity that was non-contingent? Every one of us is made in the image of God. We have intrinsic value and worth - it...

A king who does not seek power and glory but one who walks humbly and who seeks to serve.  Jesus illuminates our way forward and shows u...

God with us. What does that even mean?  In Part 1 of the series “When Heaven Met Earth”, we are reminded that when Jesus came, He brought God to us. He understands what is happening in our lives. He gets us and he is relevant to our lives. He is a good and loving father and he desires a relationship with us.  When you think about God - what comes to mind? And what would it look like, this Christma...

We all want more - more money, time, activities, stuff. But does “more” really give us what we ultimately desire? What we all realize eventually is that the pursuit of more, for the sake of more, will eventually leave us with less. What if we already have everything we need? In this 4 part message series, we will explore “more”. What it is, why we want it, and who has it. Maybe it’s possible that...

Our vision, both literal and figurative, can get clouded by things that distract us or block our view. This impacts our priorities, emotions, and direction in life. Pride, fear and anxiety are common obstacles that impair our vision and keep us from seeing clearly.  God repeatedly works to redirect our focus in scripture because where we look determines our direction. We can continually check our...

What comes to mind when you think about “those people”? Maybe it’s a neighbor, co-worker or family member that just totally annoys you? Or maybe it’s a whole group of people that just get under your skin - offends you? I mean - how could they think that way? Does God really love “those people”?

What comes to mind when you think about “those people”?  Maybe it’s a neighbor, co-worker or family member or maybe it’s a whole group of people that just get under your skin? And what if those people are supposed to be our people - the ones we should experience the deepest level of connection with but they are the ones who have hurt us the most.  We have been in this series called Those People th...

Jesus didn’t make it difficult for people to turn to God, he made it simple. This idea is based on biblical principles found in the book of Acts. This is one of the most foundational passages that informs and inspires so much of what we do at Northpoint. In this message series, we will share how Northpoint started, where we are headed, and what our dreams and goals are with you in mind. We want to...
