Philippians: Week 3

Tray leads us through Philippians 1:12-24. Paul finds himself in a place he didn't want to be but that didn’t mean that God was absent.

Philippians: Week 2

Philippians: Week 1

This week we kicked off our Philippians book-study series with versus 1:1-2. That's it - because we had a lot of back-story to cover with Paul’s earlier time in Philippi… a place he never intended to go.

Find and Follow: Week 2

We wrapped up our Find & Follow series and Rob shared some news on the future of North Metro Church. Don’t miss this one!

Find and Follow: Week 1

In this series we go back to the basics, diving into what it looks like to find and follow Jesus. This week we begin with the first part, finding God.

Christmas Eve at North Metro Church

We conclude our Christmas at North Metro series with our Christmas Eve celebration! God has given us so many gifts; rest, grace, forgiveness…He asks us to be a light this Christmas, to reflect His love and grace.

Christmas at North Metro Church: Week 3

We get back into the book of Matthew this week with Herod’s story; Herod was the king of the land and king of his life. While it can be hard to relate to an evil king, Rob opens up how “You might be like Herod if…”

Christmas at North Metro Church: Week 2

This week we covered the character of Jospeh in Matthew's account of Jesus' birth; Joseph had a big dilemma and decision to make. We see ultimately a man who did what's right in the eyes of God...no matter what the cost.

Christmas at North Metro Church: Week 1

We kick off our Christmas at North Metro Church teaching series getting into Matthew's account of Jesus' birth, specifically looking at the role and behavior of the Magi as they come to visit the Messiah.

Losing Your Marbles: Week 4

This week we wrap up our Losing Your Marbles teaching series with defining our need for tribes and how over time they help us create a sense of belonging.

Losing Your Marbles: Week 3

Star Wars, Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings…we love stories! God has wired us for stories. This week we see how stories are captivating and how we’re the ones responsible for telling the next generation God's stories.

Losing Your Marbles: Week 2

We jumped back into our Losing Your Marbles teaching series this week with seeing how our words over time shape direction. Rob also equipped us with several key Bible verses to help us all invest in the next generation.

Losing Your Marbles: Week 1

Our friend Stuart Hall kicks off a new teaching series, Losing Your Marbles.

Romans: Week 4

The final message in our Romans teaching series gets into Romans 12 - some great truths on spirirtual renewal and transformation.

Romans: Week 3

We continue into Paul's letter to the Roman's by remembering who we are, alive and free.

Romans: Week 2

The second message in our Roman's series explores how sin ruined us, but Jesus saves us.

Romans: Week 1

The Gospel is the power of God to save sinners. The reason the Gospel is so good, is because the wrath of God is so very real. In this first part of our series, we are going to investigate three major groups of people in which Paul is addressing this letter. In doing so, we are going to see their differences, but most importantly, their similarities.

Showing Off: Week 4

Showing Off: Week 3

This week we we dive into scripture of God's call to Go Wherever and welcome Outreach Pastor, Richard Ramsey, to the stage.

Showing Off: Week 2

A money talk like you've never heard from our Lead Pastor, Rob McDowell. When we trust God to show off through our possessions, He can change the world!

Showing Off: Week 1

Let's Get Zany: Week 4

Pastor Tray Tankersley closes out our Let's Get Zany teaching series with getting zany about comforting one another.

Normal isn't working, so let's get zany about the Gospel!

How Jesus Prayed: Week 5

Guest speaker, Stuart Hall, finishes our series on how Jesus prayed by reminding us that He has all we need so we can trust Him.

How Jesus Prayed: Week 3

This week we go back into the The Lord's Prayer and focus in on how Jesus asks us to pray that the Kingdom of Heaven would come to earth.

How Jesus Prayed: Week 2

Although Jesus related to God intimately as Father, He also quickly helped his disciples understand that we are not to treat God casually. He is Holy. There is never a good excuse to speak to God like we would a buddy.

How Jesus Prayed: Week 1

As we begin the series, we will look to whom Jesus directed his prayer. There is an intimacy in which Jesus approaches the One True God that had not been seen before. We will also lay down the principle; It's not just what you say, it's how you say it.

Bury the Hatchet: Week 4

When someone else hurts us, we want justice - though the problem is in life that usually never happens. God has given us a way to bury the hatchet that we would least expect, forgiveness. As we close this series, we will walk through the biblical process of forgiveness to find that freedom in Christ from what we've been holding on to.

Bury the Hatchet: Week 3

So far, we've seen that relationships can bless and hurt us. For those that have hurt us, we can't begin the process of burying the hatchet if we don't first identify who has wounded us and how they have wounded us. This week the goal is to uncover our specific hurts and wounds as we remember that our Savior invites us to come to Him with our pain and sorrow to find rest in Him.

Bury the Hatchet: Week 2

Last week we said that relationships are a blessing - but, let's be honest they aren't always. Instead of blessing us, relationships can hurt us. Philemon's relationship with Onesimus gives us insight into this reality. This week we will begin the process of recognizing the hurt that exists…

Bury the Hatchet: Week 1

We begin the series by introducing the often neglected book of Philemon, a simple book of the Bible that portrays both the beauty and difficulty of relationships. This week we will see how God has uniquely designed relationships to bless our lives.

Gods Heart For Our Neighbors

Guest speaker, Pastor Damian Boyd of Vertical Church ATL, speaks to us about God's heart for our neighbors.

God's Heart for the Nations

Lead Pastor Rob McDowell teaches on God's heart for the nations.

Team Us: Week 5

Parenting is one of God’s major tools for sanctification. God uses two imperfect people to guide, protect and sacrifice for small people who will never fully appreciate them or what they’ve done until they are parents themselves.  The cost is great, but the reward for both parents and children is priceless.

Team Us: Week 4

One of the great struggles in all marriages is conflict. No matter who you are or where you’re from, it is impossible to always agree with someone. Especially when you live and are raising a family together. So how do we respectfully disagree with our spouse, while not destroying or humiliating them? This week, with Scripture as the primary guide, adults and couples will be encouraged to fight fair.

Team Us: Week 3

Week 3 in the series Team Us. Once the team has come together, a shift takes place. For some, this shift happens over night. For others, it takes many years. This is the shift from ME to WE. This week, we will explore the key ingredient of humility and submission to one another in order to properly move from ME to WE.

Team Us: Week 2

God created marriage to be a team venture. But how does, and more importantly, how should the team come together. This week, we will explore the progression from, “Nice to meet you” to “I Do!” with specific emphasis on how God has called us to prepare our people for marriage.

Team Us: Week 1

As we begin the Team Us teaching series, we will discuss the end goal of marriage:  Eternity.  Having a picture of where you are going greatly helps you get there. 

More Than a Song: Week 5

Next Sunday is Easter. In the Christian world, this time of year brings with it great anticipation, excitement, and worship. As we prepare to celebrate the gospel together, two things will grow and enhance our ability to do this collectively: Prayer and Fasting. Both of these things are forms of worship. Fasting is how we worship God through dependence upon Him rather than earthly materials or sustenance. Prayer is how we connect and communicate with this loving God and express our heart and...

More Than a Song: Week 4

Worship is revelation and response. The goodness of God is revealed in all of life, but the Word of God is the primary place of revelation. One of the best ways we can worship God beyond a song is setting aside time to read and study His Word each day. Every time we do this, worship takes place. We receive God’s revelation and respond according to what’s been revealed. The Word renews our mind and transforms the way we live. The desire for this week is that adults leave and desire to spend t...

More Than a Song: Week 3

So far, we’ve said that we all worship. Worship is more than a song, is clear in the way we live our lives, but includes singing songs. This week, we will look at another way that worship is more than a song, yet takes place within the walls of the church. Each Sunday, hundreds of adults and college students come and serve during our services. Around here, we call these people Table Setters. Each of them sets the table for more people to come and worship God with us. Setting the table for so...

More Than a Song: Week 2

As we stated last week, worship is definitely more than a song. But, singing is a key part of our worship to God. So why do we sing? What are we communicating when we sing songs each week? We sing as a response to what’s been revealed to us about God. We sing about God and to God. We sing to teach and remind ourselves the timeless truth’s in God’s Word. Singing also takes on a variety of postures. Some kneel, bow, or raise their hands. Each posture is significant as well. This week, adults w...

More Than a Song: Week 1

We’re all worshippers. Whether we believe in Jesus or not, we all worship something, because worship is simply revelation and response. Whatever grabs our attention and holds our energy and affection is what we worship. Clearly, it’s more than singing a song. For those who follow God, worship is a life of response to God for who He is and what he’s done for us. As we begin our time in this series, adults will be challenged to survey what they worship with their lives, and to choose to embrac...

One Anothering: Week 8

As we conclude the series, we will look at one more pivotal way that God calls us to treat one another, encouragement. We are called to remind one another of the great things God has done, as well as the future hope we have in Christ's return.

02.15.15 One Anothering: Week 7

This week the call is to serve one person in our sphere of influence, asking God to make us humble and more like Christ.

02.08.15 One Anothering: Week 6

Last week we talked about confessing our sins to one another, now we will build on that with carrying one another's burdens.

02.01.15 One Anothering: Week 5

The Bible calls for us to confess our sins to one another, but in reality many of us rarely do. God designed confession to bring sin out into the light and set us free. We all have a mess, therefore confess.

One Anothering: Week 4

As we continue to discover what it means to live out the Golden Rule, one of the most important things we can do is pray for one another.
