Northeast Christian Podcast

Grab your notebooks and lean forward because this message unpacks the entire book of Matthew through three key themes. Matthew demonstrates that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, He establishes a new kingdom, and Jesus is more significant than Moses. These ideas were both radical and politically challenging for the time. Jesus came to do all three, but in ways no one expected. Jesus came to conquer death itself- a much bigger evil than kings, empires, and man. Matthew ends his gospel with an invitation to join this "upside down" revolution and enter into the "co-mission" of Jesus called The Great Commission. That invitation is here for all of us today!

In this episode, we talk about the book of Nehemiah. It tells us the story of Nehemiah who was convicted about the mission that God gave him. He first had the courage to remind his people that they were stuck. “Here is horrible, and we can’t afford to stay here, in horrible.” Then Nehemiah challenged, encouraged, gave focus, sacrificial commitment, and rallied the people to work together for a common purpose. He experienced backlash from their enemies, but they stayed united. As a result, the people’s civil revival led to a spiritual revival, and their lives were transformed. What would it look like if we were obedient to God’s purpose and mission for our own lives?

Nothing is as captivating as a good story. In fact, Jesus told stories and parables to help bring God’s teaching to life in the hearts of His followers. This summer, we are hosting an exciting guest speaker series called Tell Me A Story.  In this sermon, Damian Thompson, Lead Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, shares the story of Jairus & the Bleeding Woman. In this story, two very different people come to Jesus; one a leader with connections and privilege, and the other an outcast labeled by her affliction. But they are united in their need to know Him. He describes how we need to worship Jesus even in our worries and suffering. We need to be patient and ready to witness how God is working in our lives.

This Memorial Day Weekend, Jeff Faull kicked off our series with the story of The Woman Caught in Adultery. In this story we see that Jesus offers forgiveness even when others are quick to condemn. But that is not the end of the story. Jesus also offers new life and an opportunity for this woman to change her story forever. 

In this prayer and worship service we celebrate that Jesus is King!  The crucifixion echos the kingship of Jesus; forever transforming the cross as a symbol of torture into one of His glory. By focusing on the Ascension and Pentecost, we discover Jesus' promises and commands for all who follow Him.

In this message we discover what it means to intentionally parent; to sow seeds that allow our kids to flourish. Parenting can be challenging and rewarding. We prepare our kids for life by how we love, listen, and care for them. Together we'll learn the importance of sowing seeds of faith, service, and a seriousness in following Jesus. And if these seeds don't take root right away, stay the course. Never stop planting seeds of God's love, praying, and persevering. 

In this episode, we continue in our Bible Series Plan with the study of Isaiah. Isaiah is full of truths for God’s people. Isaiah shares warnings to the Southern Tribes and Kings, pleas for repentance, and offers hope for the exiles. Isaiah calls out sin in politics, social injustice, corruption, and idolatry and says that there is still time to turn back to God. Isaiah shows the judgement and consequences for going astray. God’s judgment is short term and leads to a long-term restoration plan. This plan is fulfilled in God’s Servant who comes offering hope.  Spoiler alert- our hope is in Jesus!  

In this message we learn that to understand Psalms, we need to dig into poetry. God speaks in poetry to His people because it has the power to capture our hearts and excite our minds. In the prayers of Psalms we find prayers for every human condition along with the answer of hope. You too can find hope in the psalms. Today we know that the name of this hope is Jesus. 

In these books we dig into the political struggles of God's people, what makes a good king, and the anointment of David: chosen by God because of his heart. David's story includes unexpected blessing, deceit, waiting, trust in God, sin and forgiveness. The story of David is a fulfillment of God's promise to His people which ultimately point to Jesus.

We have a God who understands our grief and offers hope. In light of recent events, we worship with intentional prayer and action. This is who we are as a church. It is what we do. Jesus is why.

He is risen. He is risen, indeed. This Easter, we discuss the Resurrection and how to accept the gospel both historically and personally.

As we look toward Easter Sunday, we paused on Palm Sunday to praise God for all that He has done, all that He is doing, and all that He will continue to do. We celebrated how much God is moving in our church, in Love the ‘Ville Outreach and in our Deaf and Indian Ministries!

What does it mean to be “All In” at Northeast? In the final week of our vision series, we are asking those who consider themselves “All In” to sign a Stakeholder Covenant: Living Generously, Serving Sacrificially, Engaging in Church Community, Having a Rule of Life, Having a Love the ‘Ville Playbook, Supporting the Mission, Vision and Values of Northeast Christian Church and Sharing My Faith With People Outside the Church.

"We have momentum, and momentum is hard to get, fun to have, but easy to lose. So Stakeholders, let's take a hold of what God is doing here." In this week of our vision series, we look at the mission, vision, values of our church and the direction God is leading us.

"What is the best vision for a Love the 'Ville Church? It is Romans 12. Thank you, Paul." In this first week of our vision series, we look at Romans 12 and what it means to be all in for God and the Church.

In this Worship and Prayer service, we get the opportunity to connect with God and others as we enter the Lenten season, a Spiritual tradition dating back to the earliest Apostles. Today, we are continuing this spirit of repentance and self-sacrifice, to ready our hearts for Easter.
