NorthRidge Fellowship Christmas Program
In The Mystery of the Manger, an investigative reporter for The Morning Star newspaper wants the facts . . . just the facts! The questions and searching make headline news on Christmas morning. In examining the facts from Scripture, your children and the congregation will discover the overwhelming proof that the baby born 2,000 years ago in the manger IS the Savior of the world.
Friends and family welcome to join us and the children of NorthRidge Fellowship as we solve The Mystery of the Manger on December 14th during both services.
Current Sermon Series
Real Christianity
Have you ever stuggled to make sense of Christianity? All that stuff about sin and guilt and Jesus dying on the cross and Easter? What's the point? Is there some coherent thread that ties it all together?
I invite you to join us as we take a trip back to the beginning as we work our way through the letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome back in the first century. In this series we are going to take a close look at the basics of Christianity. Our goal is to find the answer to important questions about why we have personal and relationship struggles and how to address them. We will find answers to why there is evil in the world and what hope God offers. We will learn how to walk with God in a personal relationship.
Along the way it is my prayer that you will experience "Real Christianity" because real Christianity is not merely a set of beliefs or doctrinal statements. Real Christianity is the experience of the power of love of God through Jesus Christ. Don't get me wrong! Believing the right thing is important. But believing is not the goal. A life lived with God forever is the goal.
