This sermon is from the series titled “Green Like God”.

Theme – We’ve talked a lot about why creation care is important. We’ve talked about our call to be stewards of God’s creation. We’ve wrestled with whether or not we will participate with God in bringing about new creation. So now the question is: What can I do? What specific steps could I take in order to be more “green like God”?

The text for the sermon was taken from Matthew 6:21.

This sermon is from the series titled “Green Like God”.

Theme – If the earth is temporary, if all this will one day come to an end, what’s the point in caring for the creation?  What’s the point of all this “green living”?  That’s not a bad question.  But here’s the real issue.  God is in the business of new creation.  And if God is in the business of new creation, the question for us is, will we choose to participate with God in bringing about new creation, or will we choose not to?

This sermon is from the series titled “Green Like God”.  It was a tag team event between Markus Watson and Dave Yapo, an Elder at Northminster.

Theme – According to the creation story, humans have been given the authority to “subdue” and “rule” the earth.  Does that mean we can do anything we want to with the earth?  Or does this mean that we are to “rule” the creation in the same way that God rules us—with love, compassion, and kindness?

The text for the sermon was taken from Genesis 1:28, Genesis 1:6-8, Genesis 7:11, Genesis 8:21, Genesis 1:26, Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:15, and Deuteronomy 17:16-20.

Theme – When it comes to the issue of caring for creation, we all come from a different background.  Some of us have been concerned about the environment for a long time.  Others of us still come to the issue with a lot of skepticism and resistance.  Today’s topic is simply this:  What’s my story when it comes to caring for the environment.  Listen to Pastor Markus and Yapo share their stories.

The text for the sermon was taken from Romans 8:19-23 and Colossians 1:15-20.

This sermon is from our Easter Sunday worship service and is titled “Status Quo”.

Theme – It is easy to get into a rut and a routine.  It’s easy for life to become status quo.  But God is not satisfied with that.  God is a God who interrupts our status quo—which is exactly what God did when He raised Jesus from the dead.  God interrupted the status quo of death.  And if God can do that, He can surely interrupt the dull, boring, life-draining status quo of our own lives!

The text for the sermon was taken from Matthew 28:1-10 and 1 Corinthians 15:54-55.

This sermon is from the series titled “Lead Like Jesus”.

Theme – What kind of a leader is Jesus?  As we look at the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, we get a pretty good picture of Jesus as a leader.  He’s humble, courageous, confident, and compassionate.  Most important, Jesus is a leader worth following.

Theme – Parenting is definitely a form of leadership.  Building on what we’ve learned from the book, Lead Like Jesus, we look at two important aspects of leading our children:  1) We’re called to lead our kids I a way that appropriate to their development, and 2) We’re called to lead our kids from a place of courage and humility.
