There is something so strong when church worship is centered around the Word of God and not ourselves. While a commitment to and a love for the Bible has always been present at North Side, it just seems as if it grows in intensity each week. I am so thrilled with what is going on at North Side!
In an effort to grow further in the Word, Jeff mentioned 3 upcoming events to continue discipleship: 1) NSU – 2 year intensive study in becoming a disciple-maker, 2) Marriage Getaway – weekend growth for married couples, and 3) Knowing Jesus – outreach events on Easter Weekend sharing the gospel through music and message. If you want more details on these events, go here.
Today, we worshiped to:
- Victory in Jesus – North Side Worship
- Always – Kristian Stanfill
- 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) – Matt Redman
- O the Blood (w/Revelation Song) – Gateway Worship
- Are You Washed in the Blood? – North Side Worship
Both services today were so full of energy and passion as we worshiped. With different things going on in our church family, I was overwhelmed watching our family worship today amidst such circumstances. We sing truth, and when we sing it, we mean it. I am in awe of our band, choir, tech team, and host team each week for pointing people towards Jesus. These are some special times.
Jeff’s message from 1 John was so good. Full of life, not afraid of being bold, and full of God’s unadulterated truth. Lives are being changed and God is being glorified. Let’s march on.
