NorthCross Sermons

This Thanksgiving, we’ll explore why gratitude is meant to be expressed, not just felt. Jesus was astonished when he healed ten people, but only one of them returned to say thank you. When we assume that others know we appreciate them, unexpressed gratitude can communicate and cultivate ingratitude. This season, be intentional about turning thankful feelings into meaningful words.

The Generous Life
Part 1 | The Inspiration
(2 Corinthians 8:1-9)Most of us value generosity, but being generous doesn't always come naturally. In week one of The Generous Life, we're going to explore that tension. We're going to discover that the inspiration for a generous life comes from the amazing generosity that God has shown us.

Prayer
Part 4 | When God Says No
(2 Samuel 12:15-23)God wants us to pray sincerely and persistently, but that doesn’t guarantee he’ll always say yes to what we ask. This weekend we’ll look at a time when King David boldly pleaded with God, yet still received a firm “no.” His response in the midst of deep disappointment guides our response when God’s answer isn’t what we hoped. Join us as we conclude the Prayer series and learn what to do when God says no.

Prayer
Part 3 | Persistence in Prayer
(Luke 11:5-13)Ever prayed for something again and again and wondered if God was even listening? Jesus knew we’d feel that way sometimes, which is why He told a story about a man who wouldn’t stop knocking. This week, Jesus is going to encourage us to pray persistently and teach us the blessing that comes with it.

Prayer
Part 2 | A Pattern for Prayer
(Nehemiah 1:5-11)
 
What should we be praying about? Many times our default is to use prayer primarily as a way to ask for things we want or need. God certainly invites us to do that. And yet, God intended so much more for prayer. This weekend we're going to grow our understanding of different kinds of prayers found in the Bible and come away with a framework that will be a blessing to your prayer life.

Prayer
Part 1 | The Heart of Prayer
(Matthew 6:5-8)
 
When life feels ruled by deadlines and expectations, prayer can seem like one more thing we have to do. But Jesus showed that prayer was never meant to be another task on the list. It’s a quiet, personal space to reconnect with the Father who already knows what we need. This weekend, we’ll rediscover the heart of prayer and the peace that comes along with it.

The God We Need
Part 6 | The Vine
(John 15:1-8)
 
We live in a world that measures success by what we produce. Jesus says real fruit doesn’t come from trying harder, it can only come by staying connected to Him. This week we’ll discover what it means to stay connected to Jesus and why it's essential for a life that actually bears fruit.

The God We Need
Part 5 | The Way, the Truth, and the Life
(John 14:1-7)
 
Jesus loved people in a way no one else ever has. Yet he also spoke words that, by today’s standards, sound shockingly exclusive and intolerant. This weekend, we’ll study the most exclusive statement Jesus ever made, and we’ll see what it teaches us about the God we need.

The God We Need
Part 4 | The Good Shepherd
(John 10:11-15)
 
Without direction, we’re like sheep wandering into danger and chasing voices that can’t truly satisfy. But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down his life to rescue us and now calls us to follow him. Join us this week as we celebrate the sacrificial love of Jesus and learn how our lives are better when we follow him.
