Worship
Sunday Worship 9:30am and 6:00pmWednesday Night Summer Series 6:30pm
Sunday morning service streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
We are an independent, non-denominational congregation who follow Jesus, we listen to the guidance of the Bible and we actively serve God in the world. We are not perfect, but we are united in our belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, that He is at work in our city, through our church and in your life, too. We hope that you will be our guest and worship God with us this Sunday at NorthWest. Our door is open to you, and we hope you will feel welcome. We'd love for you to make this your church home.

Pastures & Palaces
The poor shepherds and the rich wise men are a part of the Christmas story. What do they show us about the mission and call of Jesus?
Sun, Nov 28th
A Thanksgiving Table
Our cry for mercy receives an answer at the table of the Lord. We lift up the cup of thaksgving at the King's Table, and recommit ourselves to serve his kingdom. At the table, we experience the mercy of God.
Sun, Nov 21st
Included
We all have a deep desire within us to belong. We all want desperately to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. God has created many different areas where this is accomplished in beautiful ways. One of those ways is at the communion table.
Sun, Nov 14th
Covenant
Is the Lord's Supper a box to be checked that is separate and apart from our lives the rest of the week? The church in Corinth certainly thought so, and sometimes our response is similar.
Sun, Nov 7th
The Passover Table
Traditions have long dictated our response to and our conduct during the Lord's Supper. Decades old Church publications have sought to restrain our jubilation and impose strict standards of quiet conduct in our Table Fellowship.
Sun, Oct 31st
Altars and Tables: Eating With God
Our communion with God finds its roots all the way back in the Old Testament. There is a strong connection between sacrifice and eating which means a connection between alters and tables.
Sun, Oct 24th
Courage to Confess
After God's victrory for Israel at Jericho the Israelites prepared to continue thier conquest of the Promised Land. However, they were not prepared for what happened next: Disobeidience (sin) was preventing them from moving forward! The Nation was now stuck! They could not move forward with the Conquest until the sin was confessed and addressed.
Sun, Oct 17th
Courage to March
God gave Joshua and this new generation of Israelites perhaps the worst battle strategy ever. However, the Israelites still agreed to march and have faith that God would keep His promise
Sun, Oct 10th
Courage to Cross
Something that always needs courage is change. Change is rarely easy nor does it usually come naturally. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it isn't necessary or even that it isn't a good thing.
Sun, Oct 3rd
Leading and Following
What does it mean for individuals and God's people to be strong and courageous? Joshua was surely asking himself that question as he and the Israelites were camped in the plains of Moab prior to claiming the promised land across the Jordan river
Sun, Sep 26th
Boast
What is next on the path to overcome? Has our pride stood in the way of seeing what it truly means to overcome?
Sun, Sep 19th
Anger's Curse
Anger is something we all deal with. Some deal with it more than others, but how do we deal with our anger? While we know and understand that holding on to anger is not healthy, it's something that we still struggle to overcome. This anger can oftentimes evolve into hatred and hatred can evolve into suffering.
Sun, Sep 12th
Sin Less
Temptation abounds in this life and often so does our hopelessness as a result. Is it truly possible to overcome temptation?
Sun, Sep 5th
Where Are You God?
At one point or another, pretty much all of us have experienced despair over the last 18 months. Whether it be loneliness, loss, frustration, or that one virus that everyone keeps talking about, we have had times when we wondered where God's movement was taking place...or if there was movement at all.
Sun, Aug 29th
Lead Us and Deliver Us
We all face temptations daily but whether we succumb to that temptation or not, we must understand that God didn't lead us. God's promise, to us all, is to provide a way of escape.
Sun, Aug 22nd
Do I Have to Forgive?
Sometimes it's hard to receive and give forgiveness. We study and reflect on the Lord's Prayer to change our prayer lives to make them more consistent with the character of God. It can be hard to forgive people who don't deserve it. Yet, Jesus teaches that our own forgiveness from God depends on our forgiving others.
Sun, Aug 15th
Sustained
"Give us this day our daily bread." A line that simply asks for God to provide for us, or is there a deeper meaning? What does He mean by daily bread? As we take a deeper look into the Lord's Prayer we will attempt to find the answers to these very impactful questions.
Sun, Aug 1st
Hey Dad
The Lord's prayer was given to us by the Son of God. Does it mean anything to you?
Sun, Jul 25th
One God and Father of All
God had a secret plan for the world (he still has this plan today, but it is not a secret any more). What is that secret plan? What does he want YOU (and all the rest of us) to do about it? Join us today as we explore how it is so important that there is "one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all."
Sun, Jul 18th
Led to Water, Washed with Blood
Throughout the story of Scripture, we see God repeatedly leading His people to, in and through water. One of the ways we experience this still to this day is baptism.
Sun, Jul 11th
Will "Dry Bones" Rise Again? Experiencing One Faith in Reconciliation
The ancient prophet Ezekiel promised Israel to enliven their dead, dry bones with the breath of the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul revealed the mystery of reconciliation for all cultures and races - through the Gospel.
Sun, Jul 4th
Gods At War
This week in our "One" series is the topic of "one lord." Other translations from various languages around the world and even in history also translate this as "master." Even dating back to Mount Sinai, God has always desired to be more than just a checklist and more than our first of many. God wants to be our one and only.
Sun, Jun 27th
Anchored
Hope is something that is often neglected but it is always necessary in each of our lives. Let us today in worship remember and praise what our true blessed hope is.
Sun, Jun 20th
Breathe Together
The next theme in our "One" series is one Spirit. The word "Spirit" translated from the greek also means "breath." We see this as an invitation not only to be united in one Spirit and one body, but also an invitation to breathe together as one.
Sun, Jun 13th
Individually Together
One body, many parts is often easier said than done. Today we will search for what Paul really means when he discusses the body of Christ.
Sun, Jun 6th
Unity's Pursuit
For some time now, we have cried out for unity. This goes for our nation and also for our own church as well as other churches across our country. While everyone wants unity to some degree, not everyone is willing to do what it takes.
Sun, May 30th
The Cloud
Today is our senior Sunday honoring those seniors that stuck it out over this very challenging year and graduated. In our message we will take some time to focus and remember just who our cloud of witnesses are.
Sun, May 23rd
Marriage is Mission
Marriage is hard. There's no such thing as a healthy marriage that hasn't had some struggles at times. This is why we are called to love our spouses in a special way. Marital love isn't a feeling, it's a choice.
Sun, May 16th
Hello, I'm Adopted
Everybody comes from somewhere. Epic novels and larger than life films have been dedicated to origin stories to satisfy our cultural craving to know where individuals or groups come from. But what if what you have been given was more important that where you originated?
Sun, May 9th
Magnificat
Today is nationally celebrated as Mother's Day, a day in which mothers are honored in so many ways. This morning, we'll be taking a look at one of the more famousmothers in scripture, Mary the mother of Jesus.
Sun, May 2nd
Love God? Of Course I Do!
Jesus tells us that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Of course, I do! He's God! But, what does that really mean? How do I actually do that? I'm a good person, I go to church, and I help others. Isn't that enough?
Sun, Apr 25th
The Glory of God
The Bible is filled with Praises, Proclamations and Demonstrations of the Glory of God. We will spend time in worship today listening and acting upon this great truth. May our hearts be ever open and our mind ever sensing the Spirit's movement as we worship the Almighty.
Sun, Apr 18th
Reconciliation
Join us this morning as we look at the reconciliation of Jesus and Peter. John 21:15-25
Sun, Apr 11th
Together
There is value in being alone, especially in hearing the voice of God. However, we also have the opportunity to encounter Him together.
Sun, Apr 4th
Death Was Overwhelmed
The tomb is empty! Christ is risen from the dead! Today is a special where we celebrate with our brothers and sisters around the world the risen Savior Jesus. No matter who we are or what we have done, our Messiah has given His life for us and he has defeated the grave on our behalf.
Sun, Mar 28th
The God Who Saves
This Sunday is traditionally regarded as "Palm Sunday" commemorating the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The people who cheered for Jesus as He entered were actually making a grand declaration in addition to the plea for his power and blessing over them.
Sun, Mar 21st
The God Who is Worthy
God is worthy. Does our life reflect that by the praise we give? Let's stop and listen today to the word of God and the example of praise given to us inside of it.
Sun, Mar 14th
The God Who Listens
At times our actions, our words, and our lives can feel irrelevant. This morning we will discuss our God that speaks to each of our lives and says the exact opposite of that.
Sun, Mar 7th
The God Who Speaks
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. God literally SPOKE all creation into existence. This speaking is what drives all things to this day. This speaking that created the cosmos is the same that speaks quietly into our hearts and vibrantly through our failures.
Sun, Feb 7th
Light and Love
Two very major themes in all of John's writings are themes that we are probably familiar with: light and love. How do these two concepts blend together and what does it look like when this happens?
Sun, Jan 31st
Rise Up As A Light to the Nations
The past month we have listened and prayed over how we might Rise Up through the power of the Holy Spirit - at home, in the church, and in the community around us. Today, we want to listen to the Holy Spirit as we reflect about how we might Rise Up on the international scene.
Sun, Jan 24th
Rise Up in the Community
What does it mean to go out into the world and especially into our community? When we go out and serve, what is the difference between us and an atheist doing the exact same thing? The answer is simple: we go in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Sun, Jan 3rd
Rise Up
This morning we launch our new focus for 2021! We are the church and this coming year, we plan on acting on that declaration. This morning, we plan on talking about some things that we hope for this to look like.
Sun, Dec 20th
Everlasting Father of Joy
Isaiah describes Jesus as the "everlasting father." The term father has a variety of meanings to different people and this is largely based on what your relationship was/is like with your own earthly father. Isaiah promises a father who overcomes all dysfunctionality and places joy in our hearts.
Sun, Dec 13th
Wonderful Counselor
