Northgate FMC

What is it that truly makes a church different? In Exodus 33, Moses realizes something powerful: it’s possible to have God’s promises without God’s presence. More than blessings, success, or direction, Moses wanted God Himself. This Summit Weekend message challenges us to ask what truly distinguishes Northgate—and the answer is clear: God’s presence among His people.

This special Mother’s Day interview with Amy Keller we’re reminded to anchor our hearts in God’s promises, trust Him in the waiting, and hold onto hope even when life feels uncertain. Whether you’re walking through joy, grief, uncertainty, or waiting, this message is an invitation to trust God’s character even before you see the outcome.

What makes people vulnerable and how does the Church respond? In this message, Kevin Austin from Set Free shares how factors like poverty, broken systems, family dysfunction, and injustice create environments where people are at risk. But the call of Jesus is clear: we don’t look away, we move toward. Grounded in Ephesians 3:14–21, this message reminds us that real change begins with being rooted in the love of Christ and empowered by His Spirit.

Saul was known for persecution… until he had an encounter with Jesus that changed everything.

In this powerful story of transformation, we see that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Paul’s conversion reminds us that your past does not define your future and who you were is not who you have to be.

Peter was confident he would never fall but in a moment of fear, he denied Jesus three times. What followed wasn’t rejection but, it was redemption. In this message, we walk through Peter’s failure and Jesus’ powerful restoration, discovering that our lowest moments are not the end of our story. God uses them to shape us, humble us, and prepare us for what’s next.

In this message, we explore the story of the woman at the well and how Jesus meets us right in the places we try to hide. What begins as a moment of shame becomes a life-changing encounter that leads to transformation and a testimony that impacts an entire community. Jesus doesn’t avoid our past, He steps into it with both grace and truth.

 

The women arrived at the tomb expecting death… but encountered life. The disciples wrestled with doubt… but were met with peace. And through it all, Jesus revealed that His resurrection wasn’t just an event—it was an invitation.

Jesus didn’t come just to fix temporary problems. He came to bring the ultimate solution to our deepest need—to save, restore, and reconcile us to God. He wasn’t the King they expected…but He was the King they needed.

We were honored to welcome a special guest speaker from Family Life Network. Family Life Network has been reaching people with the hope of Jesus through Christian radio and ministry, and we’re grateful to partner in that mission.

As Jesus nears Jerusalem, the crowds expect the Kingdom of God to appear immediately. In response, Jesus tells the Parable of the Ten Minas. The parable reminds us that while we are saved by grace through faith, we are also created for good works that God prepared in advance for us to do. Our salvation is a gift, but our lives are meant to reflect faithful obedience to the King. The parable challenges us with an important question: Are we faithfully using what God has entrusted to us?
