Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts, yet it can also be one of our greatest challenges. Before sin complicated relationships, God gave us a blueprint for flourishing—He formed individuals with purpose, brought them together in partnership, united them in covenant, and invited them into fearless intimacy. Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in-between, Genesis chapter 2 reminds us that God has a beautiful design for husbands and wives to walk in together.

In a world where manhood is often distorted, dismissed, or misunderstood, God is still searching for men who reflect His heart. True godly manhood isn’t about dominance or perfection—it’s about devotion, surrender, and pursuit. David’s life reminds us that what God values most isn’t status, strength, or success, but a heart that desires Him. Today, we’ll explore what it means to be “a man after God’s own heart” and how that pursuit can reshape our identity, relationships, and purpose.

Every family has a culture—an atmosphere shaped by what they value and how they live. In Romans 12, Paul paints a picture of what the culture of God’s family is meant to look like. It’s not defined by the world’s standards, but by the mercy of God that has transformed our lives. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live differently—with humility, service, love, and grace. The culture of God’s family is a culture of transformation from the inside out, where renewed hearts create a renewed community that reflects the character of Christ to the world around us.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Romans 12:1-21 Series: The Family of God   Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663 Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

Life doesn’t always look like we imagined it would. For many, that includes the unexpected journey of singleness, a season that can feel overlooked, delayed, or lonely. But through Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 7, we discover that singleness isn’t a waiting room. It's a gift—a season full of purpose, devotion, and belonging within the family of God. This weekend, we’ll see that no matter what season we’re in, we can find contentment in Christ, trust God’s timing, and live fully where He’s placed us.

When the Church was born in Acts 2, it wasn’t built on personalities or programs — it was built on Jesus and a people who were fully devoted to Him. The early believers formed a spiritual family that was grounded in truth, united in love, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This week, we’re looking at the foundation that made the Church strong — repentance, faith, community, prayer, and generosity — and how those same values still hold the family of God together today.

This weekend we celebrate all that God has done through Northwest Church this past year. Yet with ourcelebration comes an exhortation: stay faithful! Northwest Church is a hospital for the broken, a well forthe thirsty, a training ground for harvest workers, and a Gospel resource for our region and the world. Fromgeneration to generation, the flame of God’s Spirit has spread through us—and it still burns today. We are nothere to cast a new vision, but to ask God to give us a renewed heart for the vision He has already entrusted tous. And as we strengthen our commitment to the mission—to see the lost saved and disciples made—we standexpectant for a move of God greater than anything we’ve ever seen before.

In this message, Pastor Daniel highlights the central role of education in fulfilling the Great Commission. He explains that discipleship is not just about attending church but about lifelong learning, being transformed by Christ, and equipping believers through deeper study of God's word. Using biblical examples and church history, he calls the church to embrace education as a vital tool for shaping strong, Spirit-filled disciples and future leaders.

Transformation happens in community. The family of God is a design by God and not us. Therefore, being a part of community is not optional as Christians. As we embrace the community of God, we become who God has called us to be.

Have you ever struggled with a critical spirit? God is a God who welcomes us into participating in what He is doing in and around us. We are not called to simply watch from a distance. How do we go from criticism to celebration and participation? We must correct our lens with the truth of God's word.

Life has a way of leaving us broken: through the pain of broken relationships, loss, disappointment, betrayal, and even our own sinful choices. But, God’s plan is not just to forgive us—it’s also to heal us. In His family, the church, He meets us in our pain, brings comfort and restoration, and then uses our story to help bring healing to others. Speaker: Ben and Brigit Dixon Scripture: Luke 4:18, 2 Corinthians 2:3-7 Series: The Family of God Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663 Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

Today we’re kicking off a brand-new series called The Family of God. And here’s the big idea: when God saves us, He doesn’t just rescue us as individuals and send us on our way—He brings us into a family. The church isn’t a club, it’s not a crowd, it’s not just a Sunday event—it’s God’s household. That’s what makes following Jesus both beautiful and challenging. Beautiful, because you’re no longer on the outside looking in —you belong. Challenging, because family takes work—it requires forgiveness, commitment, and love. Over the next several weeks, we’re going to see what it really means to be the family of God—how we relate to one another, how we welcome others in, and how we live out our mission together. But today, we’re going to start where Paul starts in Ephesians 2—by remembering where we came from, celebrating what Jesus has done to bring us near, and seeing that God is still building us together as His family.

As christians, we know that we have all sinned–but it is the power of Christ and His work on the cross that has saved us. Because of this, we can live in true freedom from sin and condemnation. How do we allow this truth continuously transform us? We must remember who God is, through the truth of His word, and the life he invites us into.

Today we face many challenges to who we are as people. Pressures to conform to secular culture are all around us. But where do we find our identity? Our identity is found in Christ and in the truth of His word. We live set apart from this world. We don't abide by the ways this world; rather, we belong to Christ.

As we close our series called “Jesus, Money and Stuff”, we focus our attention to the heart of Christian giving. The Bible teaches us to give faithfully through tithes, generously through offerings, and compassionately through alms. In Christ, giving is not a burden but a joyful response to God’s grace, a way to put Him first, support His mission, and show His love to those in need.

Prayer is not a side activity for the Christian—it is our battlefield, our lifeline, and one of our greatest weapons. Inevery generation, God looks for prayer warriors who will push back darkness by calling on God to do what only He can. Genesis 18 gives us a powerful picture in Abraham, who stood before the Lord and interceded for an entire city as he contended for his relatives. Today, God is still looking for men and women who will hear His voice, take a stand, fight in the Spirit, and persevere in prayer until we see God’s answer. Friends, we are those people—we are prayer warriors!

We live in a culture that pushes us to earn more, spend more, and worry more about money—yet God offers a better way. The Bible is full of timeless wisdom for how we handle money which is important for every follower of Jesus. Today, we’re going to look at four simple, practical principles that can guide every financial decision you make: Give, Pay, Save, and Spend. Whether you’re just starting out, climbing out of debt, or trying to pass on wisdom to your family, these truths can help you honor God with your money and live with greater peace and freedom.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we need MORE to be happy, important, and secure. But Jesus offers us a radically different way to live. In Luke chapter 12, He warns us about the deceptive and destructive power of greed—a condition of the heart that enslaves us to our stuff and separates us from what truly matters. In our message today, we will confront the lies we often believe about money and possessions and embrace the practices that lead to freedom, generosity, and a life that is rich toward God.

We have all experienced times in our life when the fire of our faith begins to fade—whether through discouragement, distraction, or simply the ups and downs of life. In 2 Timothy 1:6–7, the Apostle Paul urges Timothy to reject spiritual passivity and fan into flame a fresh passion for the gifts and calling that God had given him. Through this passage, we are challenged to rekindle our spiritual passion, to reject fear, and to embrace the work and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We are expecting God to stir up a fresh fire in our hearts again!

What holds us back? What can actually allow us to move forward and unlock our purpose and calling? When God changes our hearts, we begin to walk in true repentance. Repentance produces real fruit which leads us to be a blessing to others and takes us into our purpose. Speaker: Pastor Antonio Sims Scripture: Matthew 3:1-10 Series: Guest Speakers Connect Card - https://nwc.churchcenter.com/people/forms/118663 Northwest Church - www.nwcfoursquare.org "On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

Everything we have—our money, time, talents, and even our testimony—ultimately belongs to God. He is the owner; we are the managers. In the parable of the talents, Jesus teaches us a powerful truth: God entrusts each of us with resources, not to bury or waste, but to steward wisely and faithfully. Stewardship isn’t just about money—it’s about how we manage everything God has placed in our hands. And one day, we will each give an account for how we lived, invested, and served. The way we steward what God has given us doesn’t just impact today—it carries eternal significance. Stewardship is not just a financial principle; it’s a spiritual responsibility.
