Sermon - “Just a Bunch of Missionaries”
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 - “Before and After”
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 - “Hoping for an Inheritance?”
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.

Sermon - “Starting Strong”
Sermon by Markus Watson June 8, 2008
This is the second sermon in the series titled “Generations”.
Theme - What does it take for today’s younger generation to start strong in their faith? A generation that is growing up in a world that’s not as safe as it used to be. A generation that has in many ways been abandoned by the culture. What does it take? It takes an older generation that is committed to loving them, caring for them, and doing whatever it takes to pass on the faith to the next generation.

Sermon - “Would You Like a New Family?”
Sermon by Markus Watson June 1, 2008
This is the first sermon in the series titled “Generations”.
Theme - There’s something about the family that brings up deep longings within each of us. That’s because the family was created by God to be a reflection of who God is. Sadly, because of sin, families often don’t reflect God’s goodness. Because of this, Jesus created a new family—the church.
