Fully Alive: The Official Podcast of Northland Church

Dealing ”More than Enough” Hope

While circumstances and situations look like we have been dealt a bad hand, with God, even the worst hands can be turned into one of the best hands because God’s sovereignty works to deal “more than enough” hope and blessings. 

Bitter Season, Better Savior

As believers, when we go through a bitter season, if we run away from God, our lives will be more bitter and not better. Even if we can't fully see God's present goodness, we must still run towards our God in faith and not away from Him. We know that God will show up in that bitterness and He will show us how He is better. As encouragement, in our bitter season, we know we can cling to the truth that we have a better Savior who loves and cares for us.

Occupy Until I Return - Gus Davies

We are called to occupy the place God has placed us. We have the promise that no matter where God has placed us, we know that Jesus is coming soon, and we are to pray, care for others and share our faith as we occupy until He comes. 

Trusting God Through the Storms in Life - John Tardonia

As we live the Christian life, we will inevitably face storms and difficult situations. Preparation to weather these storms requires learning to wait on God and rely on Him to provide help and give grace to remain faithful and steadfast in our faith. 

Crossing the Finish Line

In experiencing the Christian faith that goes the distance, our goal is to finish well. We want to hear Jesus say, "Well done! Good and faithful servant!"  In order to finish the race well, we continually offer our lives for God's glory. Perseverance will be practiced so we can cross the finish line and be victorious. Looking forward. we envision future glory through all that Jesus has done for us. As we finish the Christian life, we will know we began it by loving Jesus and we have ended it well with loving Jesus.  

Fuel for the Faith

The Christian life is one long race, and we want to make it to the finish line and run the race well. In order to maintain the pace throughout the race, as believers, we need to arm our faith to overcome the obstacles we will face and fuel our faith throughout our race. As we run the race, we see how the treasure of God's kingdom is gained by dying to our will and living for God's will and God's ways as we worship God supremely.  

Rest and Recovery

God wants us to rest and recover so that we can be renewed and restored. Without rest and recovery, we will not be able to go the distance in our Christian faith. We rest and recover as we adopt God's rhythm of rest, accept times of slowing down and practice times of spiritual breathing. As we rest and recover we can run the race set before us with perseverance. 

Temporal Pain, Eternal Gain

As believers, we will have pain and suffering, but through it all God provides encouragement, comfort and peace. Our faith in God enables us to fight the pain and suffering allowing it to forge our faith, strengthen our salvation and produce perseverance in our Christian walk. Our pain and suffering provide missional opportunities for us to share the Good News of the Gospel with neighbors and nations.

Iron Faith: Training

As believers, we are called to live a disciplined life moving toward the goal of knowing Jesus, becoming more like Jesus, and being present with Jesus. Going the long distance, as a believer of King Jesus, is accomplished as we train and develop behaviors persistently over time.
