North Point Baptist Church Sermons

Can God's Children Ultimately be Left Alone? In the midst of Naomi's suffering, Ruth's covenant faithfulness becomes a picture of hope. Pastor Michael Christ traces the book of Ruth as a powerful picture of God's covenant love for His people.

Pastor John Musyimi elaborates on David's experience in 1 Samuel 19 to show that God's chosen people can face intense persecution even when they are innocent and faithful. As Saul seeks to kill David, God preserves him through the help of Jonathan, Michal, and ultimately His own direct intervention. He emphasized that Christians should expect trials because they belong to Christ, yet also trust that God will intervene in His wisdom and power to sustain, protect, and preserve them until He safely brings them home.

This passage in 1 Samuel shows plainly that opposing God and His purposes on earth is always futile. Saul opposes David out of fear that David will replace him as king over Israel, yet every attempt he makes fails to stop David’s rise. In this sermon, Pastor John Musyimi uses the passage to point to the reality of Christ: hatred of Him cannot hinder Him.

Pastor Musyimi guides us to consider how God responds to His glory defied. In God's defence, He raised a man, David, who is used as a vessel to defend God's glory and honour, bringing salvation to Israel as a by-product. Dear listener, which side would you rather be, on God's side, or against Him? Would you rather be used in the defence of God's homour or defend your own?

How should we react in times of trials? What should be our disposition? This is what meets us in this passage where Jesus right before the hour He is crucified is in turmoil and agony. However, He prepared Himself for the trial ahead of Him and this is what Mark Ben Thuku seeks to admonish us in this sermon that in the trials that face them, Christians must pray that they may not enter into temptation!

In the midst of the trials encumbering the Israelite nation in Israel as they were captive under the Babylonian rule, we see a reminder and awareness of God's presence among them. As Jeremiah ends his book, unlike the expected wailing and sighing from the people because of their bondage, we see a God who is working for their good. Pastor Joe Thwagi seeks to show us in this sermon that although sin brings terrible consequences, God's mercy and grace can reach into the deepest ruins and restore those who deserve nothing but judgment and condemnation from God!

In this sermon and from this passage, Pastor John Musyimi explains that sometimes a problem is God's solution. In this instance, when God sends a harmful spirit to torment Saul, He is advancing the plans of His kingdom forward.We are asked to consider if what presents as a Satanic problem is God's way of bringing about spiritual progress.

In our day to day lives, we often follow a pattern of identifying need, finding a suitable answer or plan to solve the need, and applying the answer or enacting the plan to address the need. In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Pastor Musyimi guides us through showing us how God pointed out to Samuel that Israel had a need for a king, how Samuel judged Jesse's sons based on outward appearance while God looked at the humility of the heart, and how God made a provision for the needs of Israel in making David to be anointed as king. Dear listener, have you considered God's best for your soul's needs in His provision?

Compromise runs rampant in our world today where we compromise what we know we ought to do for the sake of some desirable outcome. However, this cannot run with God. In this passage in 1 Samuel, Saul compromises obedience to God for his selfish pursuits. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, therefore seeks to show us that clear obedience to God is safer than qualified disobedience!

As in marriage where couples are encouraged to fight in a manner that honors their spouses, so in Christianity the Bible encourages us to fight the good fight of faith well. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where we see Saul who, in an unfortunate regard, did not fight well. Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, seeks to encourage us that the fight of faith should be fought with faith!

Words matter! Words spoken can either cause harm or good to others. This is what meets us in this passage in 1 Samuel where Saul's rash words caused a whole load of harm to the men of Israel. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that hasty words make a hard world until words of truth redeem it!

Crises happen in our lives without warning or prediction. We may find ourselves in tough situations where the temptation is to run and hide since the trials we face seem determined to make an end of us mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and/or physiologically. When we notice our temptation is to shut down or run away like Elijah, Pastor James Choi implores us to remember that God is near even if it looks and appears that we are alone. He breaks down the ways God reveals Himself through Elijah's despair through Provision, Renewal, and Commission. Let this sermon work an acknowledgement of God's provision, renewal, and commission to continue in His work in us and in the world where we are sent to shine His light and harvest souls. God is not done with us.

Preaching from God's timeless and unchanging Word as recorded in Hebrews 3:7-19, Pastor Richard Chege reveals that at the root of Israel's rebellion, was not their circumstances, but their heart. He reminds the church of its responsibility to call one another to faith, obedience and perseverance, noting that the latter is a visible evidence of genuine faith.North Point Baptist Church exists as a Bible-believing congregation committed to preaching the gospel of Christ, making disciples and displaying God's love and holiness to the watching world.For more information, you can email: church@northpointke.orgOur media handles:X: / northpointke Facebook: / northpointke Website: https://northpointke.org/

Authority, as seen from an early age with toddlers, is seen as a tough journey of unwilling submission for some. At the same time, we have often seen authority being misused by some who have been in authority, all of this giving us a skewed view of power. However, the gospel presents a liberating solution to this. Pastor Alfred Ndoro, in this sermon, seeks to show us that a humble obedience under the Lordship of Christ is honored while opposition will surely be humbled!

In His continuation on the sermon on the mount from chapters 5 and 6, Matthew 7 expounds on Jesus' instructions as we engage God in prayer. Having defined the substance of our prayers in chapter 6 which ultimately should be His Kingdom, this passage gives us a guideline for how we ought to approach God in prayer. Pastor Kelvin Mwenda seeks to encourage us in this sermon that as we pray, we should ask and expect good gifts from our heavenly Father!

A child grows up growing in unconditional trust in their parent because of the provisions they give. The child develops a certainty and security of their daily life in that they don’t question or have a concern for what may come; whether good or bad. Matthew 6:25-34 challenges the Christian to the command of not being anxious and an instruction on seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Pastor Kelvin posits that an anxiety-free life features God’s value of life and the body and the risk that anxiety presents as unbelief. Rounding out with the instruction that a heart that trusts God seeks the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

What is our hope against a holy judge? A judge who cannot be arm-twisted or bribed, one who is perfectly righteous and perfectly just! When sinners, because of their sins, need acquittal before God the Judge, Jesus steps in as their worthy advocate. Mark Ben Thuku, in this sermon, seeks to show us that Jesus is our only defense before the Father!

What does it mean to fellowship with God? In this passage in 1 John, after the apostle explains what our fellowship ought to be in the first four verses, he goes on to explain what that fellowship entails. The same way two people who are not in agreement cannot walk together, it’s the same aspect with God. Mark Ben Thuku in this sermon seeks to show us that fellowshipping with the light means walking in the light!

How can men know God? Where can they find Him? This is what meets us in this passage in the epistle of John where he defines the true foundation of fellowship with God. Mark Ben Thuku seeks to explicate in this sermon that the testimony of the incarnation is the beginning of true fellowship with God!
