WordPress is the web publishing platform we use at Northminster.  Recently WordPress was upgraded to v2.6.  It is our policy to keep our WordPress installation current with regard to WordPress version releases.

Following our recent upgrade to WordPress v2.6 it was determined that PodPress, one of the WordPress plug-ins that we use, has a glitch that prevents the normal display and posting of pod casts.

A version upgrade to the PodPress plug-in is in the works that will fix this problem.  That version upgrade will, hopefully, be available soon.

We will be adding direct link to the sermon mp3 file in each sermon posting until the bug in PodPress is fixed.

Thank you for your patience.

Sermon by Markus Watson on July 27, 2008

This is the fifth sermon in the series on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

Theme - In Ephesians 3:1-13 Paul talks about what it means for him to be a missionary.  As we look at what this meant for Paul, we can also discover what it means for us as followers of Jesus to live our everyday lives as missionaries.

As part of the preparation for this Sunday’s sermon Markus went into the community to find an answer to the question, “Where Is Northminster”.

The responses to this question were very enlightening and informative.  Some of the answers are provided in the video below.

Sermon by Markus Watson on July 20, 2008

This is the fourth sermon in the series on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

Theme- In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul continues his work of bringing together the Jewish believers and the Gentile believers in Ephesus.  He does this by painting a picture for us–a before and after picture of what our life was like before we knew Christ, and what our life is like now that we know Christ.  By painting this picture, Paul demostrates that all who place their faith in Christ have been brought near to God.

Sermon by Markus Watson June 29, 2008

This is the first sermon in the series on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

Theme - Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is all about coming together–specifically for Paul, the issue was bringing Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians together.  Today we have all kinds of issues that divide us.  The Good News is that all who place their faith in Christ are united because we all share in the same inheritance.  Jesus is the one who unifies us.
