Fully Alive: The Official Podcast of Northland Church

VISION: Believe | Week 4 | Josh Laxton

Sermon Synopsis for February 8-9
 
BELIEVE is not the end but the beginning of a greater journey with God. BELIEVE initiates a relationship with God, leads to pursuing the prize of His promises, aligns with God’s global purpose, calls for distinct, obedient living as God’s people, and requires feeding on God’s Word. Northland is called to an exciting 25-year vision, as we step into the greater things and the greater days God has prepared for us. 

Vision: BEVIEVE | Week 3 | Josh Laxton

Sermon Synopsis - February 1-2, 2025
In two years, a generation of Israelites went from believing to disbelieving. During these two years, the Israelites tested God and treated Him with contempt, as they rejected God, reviled and despised Him, and treated Him disrespectfully. As the Israelites treated the Lord with contempt, saboteurs of BELIEVE were exposed in their lives. In our lives, for BELIEVE to succeed, we must endure the sabotages and saboteurs that occur as we cling to Jesus, and belief takes root in our hearts and lives.

Vision : BELIEVE | Week 2 | Josh Laxton

Sermon Synopsis for January 25-26, 2025
To believe in the Lord for peace, redemption, and purpose requires us to heed His call, and to believe will require us to heed. If we don't heed, we don't believe. Forces that work against our belief are objections, obstructions, and obstacles. God, however, works for us to believe as He seeks us out, gives us signs, and provides support.
Exodus 3-12

VISION: Believe | Week 1 | Josh Laxton

Over the last three years, the foundation has been laid, which has worked to create clarity, alignment, and processes around Northland's Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Structure.  Northland is in a good place to be challenged and dared to BELIEVE God for greater days and greater things!
This week, we will see how need is the prerequisite of believe and how need precedes belief.

Soul Care with Mindy Caliguire | Josh Laxton

Your inner life determines how well you deal with the outer life. Soul Care, which attends to your inner life, will prepare you for the Scenario Q’s of life. A Scenario Q is something we could never have imagined or envisioned where God can provide a scenario that would come into being, something entirely off the radar and utterly outside of what was hoped for.
 
Mindy Caliguire, who participates in this discussion with Pastor Josh Laxton, is the co-founder and president of Soul Care (soulcare.com). As an organization, Soul Care cultivates soul health among leaders by providing pathways, practices, and guides to help them personally flourish and achieve missional impact.

Turning The Page | Matt Shiles

Sermon Synopsis - January 4-5, 2025
Turning the page on a new year is inevitable, but what we turn away from and turn towards in the new year will shape who we become. This new year, God calls us to be dedicated people who turn to King Jesus. We are to turn away from sin and turn to God with a posture of praise, in a position of repentance, and a purpose of blessing. Our goal is to be dedicated and connected to God's mission, which is that we are sent to be salt and light to all nations and peoples in the world, sharing the wonderful news about Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

2024 Sabbath weekend | Josh Laxton

Sermon Synopsis for December 28-29, 2024
Jesus taught about Sabbath rest and the heartbeat behind Sabbath rest which is that it is for our blessing. It is not a burden or extra rules and regulations that we do to appease God.  The Sabbath was created for our benefit, blessing, and enjoyment and therefore our heart's desire needs to be to experience the blessing of Sabbath rest.

Breaking The Silence week 4 | Christmas Eve 2024 | Josh Laxton

Pastor Josh's Christmas Eve sermon, 2024.

Family Christmas Service | Pastor Dan Elkins

Sermon Synopsis, December 23-24, 2024. 
When God spoke, breaking the silence at the first Christmas, He gave humanity the greatest gift in history: His Son. The Bible explains what happened in the past, how it affects the future, and how, at the first Christmas, after 400 years of silence, God breaks the silence and sends His Son to save a people from all peoples and give them purpose and peace. Three reasons why Jesus is the greatest gift ever given to humanity are that Jesus redeems and saves sinners from enslavement to sin and to the sinful world, Jesus reinstitutes humanity’s primary purpose, and Jesus restores Shalom inwardly and promises to bring it eternally.
