Mission Builders Part 5 | Whatever Comes Next (Genesis 32:1-12)   We all want to know what’s next. And when the future feels uncertain, it’s natural to make plans, figure things out, and try to stay in control. But what happens when we’ve done everything we can and still don’t know how things will turn out? This weekend, we’ll discover what it means to face an uncertain future with confidence, even when we don’t have all the answers.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://northcrossmn.org/mission-builders-series   All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

Mission Builders Part 4 | Why to Give (2 Corinthians 9:6-11)   There are all kinds of things that motivate us to do what we do. Sometimes it’s obligation. Sometimes it’s pressure. Sometimes it’s even guilt. But when it comes to generosity, God has something completely different in mind. This weekend, we’ll discover what God really wants to drive our generosity and why it can actually become a source of joy.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://northcrossmn.org/mission-builders-series   All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

Mission Builders Part 3 | How We Build Matters (Matthew 6:19-24)   What you do matters. But sometimes, how you do it matters more. As we take a significant step forward together as a church, we need to think carefully not only about what we’re building, but about how we’re building it. This weekend we’ll see how Jesus teaches us to examine the heart behind what we do.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://northcrossmn.org/mission-builders-series   All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

Mission Builders Part 2 | The Opportunity in Front of Us (Matthew 25:14-21)   Every day, opportunities are right in front of us: opportunities to make a difference, influence someone’s life, or be part of something bigger than ourselves. The challenge is that sometimes we’re so focused on getting through life that we don’t even recognize them. What if we learned to see what God has placed in front of us differently? This week, we’ll talk about making the most of the opportunities we’ve been given and using them for what matters most.    Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://northcrossmn.org/mission-builders-series   All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

Mission Builders Part 1 | What the World Needs (John 4:4-26) We all want to know that we are loved, valued, and that there is a place where we belong. But where do we look to satisfy that longing? And what happens when the things we turn to never quite deliver what we hoped they would? As we begin our Mission Builders series, we’ll look at where lasting love and belonging can be found and why helping others discover it is a mission worth giving our lives to.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4yye47I  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 10 | Leaving a Legacy (1 Chronicles 28:1-10)   As David’s life comes to an end, his focus is not on what he accomplished but on what will continue after he is gone.  In a culture that encourages people to focus on themselves, David reminds us to think beyond ourselves. What legacy are we leaving? How valuable is it? Will it outlast this life? No matter who you are or what season of life you’re in, in this message we’ll learn what it looks like to leave a lasting legacy.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4gDvqd5  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 9 | Crossing the Kidron (2 Samuel 15:13-29)   What do you do when you can't undo what you've done? David was forgiven of his sins involving Bathsheba, but forgiveness didn't erase the consequences of what he did. In this message, we'll follow David as he faces the painful fallout of his own decisions. As we do, we'll find three important principles that will help you face your own consequences without losing hope and without losing faith.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/3UMVUjG  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

Tension at Sea (Matthew 14:22-33)   Fear comes easily. Trust doesn’t. When God calls us to trust him, it can feel impossible with so many reasons to be afraid. But what if that very tension is where God teaches us the most? This week, we’ll discover how Jesus meets us in our terror and leads us to genuine trust.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/3RU5Rep  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 8 | The Gift of Repentance (2 Samuel 12:1-14)   After David's sin comes one of the most important moments in his life: Nathan confronts him. Nathan courageously speaks the truth, and David is brought face-to-face with his sin. This message will explore both the blessing of repentance and the blessing of having people in our lives who are willing to speak hard truths in love. What do you do when your sin is exposed? Our natural tendency is to excuse, justify, or minimize our sin, but healing and transformation begins when we bring it into the light.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4bAjWnV  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 7 | Means to an End (2 Samuel 11:1-17)    Last week, we saw David at his best, showing extraordinary kindness to someone who didn't deserve it and could never repay it. This week, we'll see him at his worst. David's choices set off a chain of events that could have brought an end to everything he built. As we walk through this period of his life, we'll uncover the warning signs at every stage of his failure and how God lovingly redirects us at every step.      Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4xjgR46  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 6 | A Seat at the King’s Table (2 Samuel 9:1-13)    When faith feels weak or failures feel heavy, you might be unsure where you stand with God. Few things shape your life more deeply than uncertainty about his love. This week, we’ll see how King David showed “God’s kindness” to a man named Mephibosheth. His story illustrates how God's love for you is beyond your control.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/44OCVHp  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 5 | When God Had Other Plans (1 Samuel 7:1-16)    We've all imagined how life was supposed to go. But what happens when the future we planned looks nothing like the one we receive? In this message from the Life of David, we'll discover why God's "no" doesn't mean He has stopped loving us, and why we can trust His heart even when we don't understand His plans.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/44xPTt5  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 4 | Being in the Waiting (1 Samuel 26:7-9; 27:1; 30:3-6)    Seasons of waiting aren't easy, but they can be seasons of incredible growth. The problem is, waiting also comes with traps that can catch you by surprise. This week, we'll see how David faced at least three of those traps during a decade of waiting. We'll explore what those same traps look like today and how to navigate them with God's help.     Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4f6e2f4  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn

The Life of David Part 3 | The Blessing of Good Friends (1 Samuel 18:1-4)   We live in a world that's more connected than ever, yet a growing number of people say they are lacking meaningful friendships. This week in The Life of David, we're going to see how one friendship had a profound impact on David's life. And as we do, we'll discover what makes a good friend and why friendship is one of God's greatest gifts.   Message Notes and Discussion Questions: https://bit.ly/4bmxe76  All links: https://linktr.ee/northcrossmn
