The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
We live in a society where the vast majority of people are overbusy and in a constant state of hurry. Much of what it means to be a Christian is not compatible with being overbusy or living in a constant state of hurry. We must ruthlessly eliminate hurry in our lives.
An idol is simply anything or anyone that is more important to us than God, and we must fight the ever present temptation to worship idols in our lives.
The apsotle Paul wrote a letter to the saints at Ephesus; today, we know that letter as Ephesians. In this letter, Paul describes in detail what it looks like to live like a saint. We must learn to live like a saint, as we have been called as saints.
Our vision as a church is to "Grow Closer to God and Expand His Kingdom". In order for us to accomplish this vision, we must build good habits that enable this and break bad habits that prohibit our vision. We use the words from "Atomic Habits" by James Clear to help us accomplish this.
Sin is the main antagonist in the story of mankind, and it is an enemy that brings many layers of problems. Fortunately, God has saved us from sin by laying down His son Jesus.
What is God's Church? What does it look like to be a member of God's Church? What's expected of me if I am a member of God's Church? Check out this series as we answer all of these questions.
God has blessed us all with a number of different resources that we can often overlook. We should give God the best of the resources that he has blessed us with. This includes our best effort, time, money, and review.
Nero burned Rome, blamed it on the Christians, and persecuted them. Paul was living under his rule, yet still encouraged prayer for those in authority (1 Timothy 2;1-3). If Paul could encourage prayer for Nero, how much more should we pray for leaders in our day, even if they weren't our first choice? Practice praying for anyone that has authority or influence over you - for this is pleasing to God! Pray for national, state, and local political and church leaders.
Why do you do what you do? It's important for us to understand our true motive behind our actions. We discuss our motives behind why we do what we do here at North Hills Church: Growing Closer to God and Expanding His Kingdom.
