North Church no North Church STL jeff@northchurchstl.com ℗ & © 2010 North Church 720 Obedience to Christ, in some form or another, is always hard. Just ask Abraham - he experienced it firsthand when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac. The very things the Lord calls us to will in turn expose our idols and require us to lay them on the altar in obedience to Him, leading us to see and experience Him in ways we never would have otherwise. http://www.sermoncloud.com/north-church/abraham http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/497/82910.mp3 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:29:38 GMT Dave Kuntz When Obedience is Hard jesus,north_church,sacriice,abraham Starting off our series on obedience with Noah, we examine the "easy" decision he had - build an enormous boat or die. Maybe that decision wasn't so easy, after all. But how does obedience to God become easier? For starters, it must come out of the overflow of our acceptance in Christ, and never the reverse. http://www.sermoncloud.com/north-church/noah http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/497/82210.mp3 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:28:19 GMT Dave Kuntz When Obedience is Hard jesus,north_church,obedience,noah,acceptance,ark,genesis What would it look like if the gospel affected every area of our life?

One of the reasons is to bring about worship - both corporate worship and to cultivate in the hearts of men a desire to treasure God. This concept of worship is vital to us and to our relationship to God both as individuals and as a church. We desire to have communion with God, and our joy, contentment and effectiveness are at stake. http://www.sermoncloud.com/north-church/worship http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/497/8110.mp3 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:32:42 GMT Rik Maxedon Questioning the Church jesus,north_church,worship,joy,trials,contentment We live in a day and age where the Word of God is seen to have little, if any, value for life.
