Little by Little: The Power of Compounding Faithfulness | Vision Sunday 2024 | Pastor Bryan

February 27, 2024 16:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MB

If you understand the math behind compounding, you realize the most important question is no, 'How can I earn the highest returns?' It's 'What are the best returns I can sustain for the longest period of time?' Little change compounded for a long time creates extraordinary change. Today's sermon isn't a conversation about compounding interest, it's a conversation about the power of compounding faithfulness, and faithfulness in its rawest is staying committed when you can't see results.

We Have a Helper | Holy Spirit | Pastor Bryan

February 19, 2024 17:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

We started this year with what has been basic introductory material on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. As we come to the end of the “introduction” and prepare to move into a deeper conversation on the “fruit of the Spirit," we're going to let this one simple statement guide this message: The Holy Spirit is a divine person who helps us.

Walking in the Spirit: A Story of Divine Interruption | Pastor Bryan

February 11, 2024 22:00 - 28 minutes - 20 MB

Pastor Bryan shares a personal story of a supernatural interruption he experienced at a remote cabin in Arkansas.

The Misunderstood and Misrepresented God | Pastor Bryan Jarrett

February 06, 2024 22:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

In this message, Pastor Bryan shares a Biblical perspective on living a life empowered by the Holy Spirit that distinguishes itself from cessationism and sensationalism. Scripture calls us to live in the tension while keeping our eyes focused on the Lord.

The Divine Nature of the Holy Spirit | Pastor Bryan

January 29, 2024 22:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MB

To the early church, the Holy Spirit and God were one and the same. It wasn't hard for them to think of the Father as God or the Son as God, but many view the Holy Spirit as some Jr. deity, some lower-ranking, impersonal force not equal to the Father and Son. One of the reasons people fall into this theological trap is because the Holy Spirit, by nature, operates in the background. His goal is never to bring honor and attention to Himself. The Holy Spirit always comes to reveal Jesus--to gl...

Becoming a Praying Church | Pastor Bryan

January 22, 2024 00:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MB

We have more books written on prayer, more podcasts, videos and teaching tools on prayer than any generation in the history of the world. If our heart really wanted to engage in a meaningful relationship with God through prayer, we would. It's not a matter of "know-how"--it's a matter of "want-to." The Lord wants us to sense and see what is possible if we truly become a praying church.

Living a Life of Spiritual Adventure | Pastor Bryan

January 15, 2024 23:00 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MB

No one in Scripture has been more misunderstood, misaligned, forgotten, or ignored than the Holy Spirit. There are all kinds of theological extremes surrounding the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and it's usually the extremes that get all the attention. Throughout the year, we will address the extremes and wade through the scripture to get a biblical understanding of the Spirit’s work.

Reigniting Your Spiritual Passion | Pastor Bryan | Northplace Church

January 09, 2024 00:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MB

Pastor Bryan discusses ways to prepare our hearts for Northplace's 21-Day fast. In the next 21 days and throughout 2024... our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would move so powerfully that: 1. You become the you, God destined you to be. 2. You are empowered by the Spirit to love people when they least expect it and least deserve it.

The Problem with Pillars | David Oliver

December 31, 2023 23:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MB

It will be your best year ever if it is your best year spiritually, and it will be your best year spiritually if you learn what it means to respond to God correctly.

Eden is My Eternity | Heaven Came Down | Pastor Bryan

December 24, 2023 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

Merry Christmas Northplace Family All month long, we set out to answer the 4 big questions on the timeline of human history: 1. How did it all begin? (Creation) 2. What went wrong? (The Fall) 3. How is God going to make it right? (Redemption) 4. How will it all turn out in the end? (Restoration) Technically, the first in-breaking of God into human history was the very beginning of that history (at creation). The Garden of Eden was the first place the passion of God’s heart for a relations...

Christmas and the Story of Redemption | Heaven Came Down | Pastor Bryan

December 18, 2023 22:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

Each week, we’ve been looking at lesser-known, more obscure Christmas passages that don’t tell us the details of what happened (shepherds, wise men, mangers), but they tell us the meaning of what happened. Today's sermon helps answer this question: How does Christmas connect with God’s plan to make everything right in the world?

Christmas and the Fall | Heaven Came Down | Pastor Bryan

December 11, 2023 23:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

The whole story of the bible can broken into these four chapters: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Last week, we looked at how it all began. This week, we’re going to be looking at what went wrong. Without truly understanding what went wrong with the human race, you’ll never understand why Jesus HAD to become human, and you’ll never see the full beauty of Christmas.

Christmas and Creation | Heaven Came Down | Pastor Bryan

December 04, 2023 22:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

As we begin the Advent and Christmas season and end this year-long bible engagement journey, we want to finish it the way we started it: by pointing you back to the bigger story. And as we do, it not only helps you understand the whole bible more clearly, but you’re going to understand and appreciate the meaning of Christmas in a way you never have before.

The Beautiful Absurdity of Friendship with God | Pastor Bryan

November 27, 2023 21:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MB

Aristotle, immersed in the pantheon of Greek gods, thought it was totally absurd to think that a human being could be a friend of the gods. Aristotle said friendship was an impossibility because humans and the divine share absolutely nothing in common. Is it absurd to think that man could be a friend of God? Yes. But is it possible? According to scripture...Yes. It’s a beautiful absurdity...but a stunning possibility. And it’s only possible because the God of Christianity is very different ...

Grace Gratitude Glory | Unfolding Celebration | Pastor Bryan

November 20, 2023 22:00 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MB

What does it look like to live a spirit-filled life? If we are truly empowered by the Spirit, shouldn’t that be noticeable in our work life, in our relationships, in our witness? If so, how? Far too many of us live lives that are too much like our friends and neighbors who don’t follow Christ. We’re living an everyday life when a supernatural life is available to us. We’re living beneath our privilege as sons and daughters of God. Project Rescue https://forms.ministryforms.net/embed.aspx?f...

The Mission of the Church | The Church Defined Week 4 | Pastor Bryan

November 13, 2023 20:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MB

Over the last several weeks, we’ve been looking into various aspects that define the “church”, not just a particular local church but the Lord’s church globally (and eternally). In the Great Commission, you see an underlying principle recurring throughout the bible. Once we realize the depth of God’s grace that has been given to us, gratitude will overflow from our hearts. We will want to pay it forward. We will want others to know and experience what we now know and have experienced. Give ...

The Future of the Church | The Church Defined | Pastor Bryan

November 07, 2023 00:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Over the last few weeks, we've been discussing the reawakening of our love for the church. Not the building, not a denomination, not a certain ministry, but the beautiful, complex, diverse, global, and eternal family of God. His Church. This week, Pastor Bryan brings clarity to misconceptions about heaven in order to come to a true, biblical understanding that would infuse a future-focused hope into our present journey through life.

The Worship of the Church | Week 2 The Church Defined | Pastor Bryan

October 30, 2023 20:00 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MB

Will you prepare your heart and your life to be a place where God dwells? There is something unique, powerful...even holy, and supernatural about the collective worship of God’s people when we gather. In week 2 of The Church Defined series, we will discover how worship is defined and lived out in the context of The Church.

Not What I Thought I Wanted | Scotty Gibbons | Northplace Church

October 22, 2023 22:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MB

Guest speaker and one of Northplace's teaching pastors, Scotty Gibbons, joins us this week with a powerful message about how to respond when life has not panned out the way we thought it would.

The Beauty of the Church | The Church Define Week 1 | Pastor Bryan

October 16, 2023 15:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

The church has been chosen by God the Father, purchased by Christ the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The church is a sacred family that should be cherished and recognized as “dear” by all who call her home. But referring to something as “dear” is not all that common in our culture...especially, when thinking about the church. The goal of this sermon (and the next few weeks) is to help all of us rediscover and reawaken our love for the church. If you’re struggling to value the church...

The Invitation to an Unshakable Life | Unshakable Week 2 | Pastor Bryan

October 08, 2023 23:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Last week, we focused on the previous part of chapter 12 and saw the practical advice the writer of Hebrews gives on “how to get” or “how to build” an unshakable life. But today, we want to back up and look at the earlier parts of this passage where the author compares and contrasts the shakable life from the unshakable.

Debris | Unshakable Week 1 | Pastor John

October 02, 2023 18:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

Adversity reveals who you really are. When the earth gives way underneath you or when the storm rages around you. When the shaking starts, it’s going to expose you for who you really are. So here's the question: What will wash up on the shore of other people’s lives after the biggest storm of your life? There will be things shaken loose that scatter from the storm of our life that will invariably impact the lives of people we are in relationship with.

Healthy Investigation and Calculated Surrender | The Unfolding

September 25, 2023 18:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

If we study the Gospel message from the Angel and the appropriate way Mary responds to it; it will help us determine if we are truly Christians. It leaves us with the question: Have YOU truly understood and appropriately responded to the gospel? Luke 1:26-38

The Summation and Dénouement in the Story of Grace | Pastor Bryan

September 19, 2023 16:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

When we read this description of Jesus' lineage, and see it the way God intends us to, it becomes a literal summation of the story of grace that has unfolded throughout the Old Testament. It’s like Matthew is kicking off the New Testament with this genealogy saying to us: Here is a summation of the story so far. The Gospel isn’t a story about how to live your life better. It’s not some “once upon a time” sweet little fairy tale about how to live a more moral life. It’s not advice. The Gospe...

Our One Still Point in a Turning World | Pastor Bryan

September 11, 2023 16:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

If there is one thing God cannot do, is change. Changing his character, His ways, His nature, is not even a possibility. God’s promise to us is that He will never do that. And the promise of God’s immutability, His unchanging nature, is where we can anchor our lives in an ever-changing world of chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity.

Dr. Oss | Unfolding Session 3 | Christ in the Psalms

September 07, 2023 20:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MB

Join us with Dr. Oss, as we take a deep dive into the book of Psalms. 

Nothing Lost. Nothing Wasted | Pastor Bryan

September 05, 2023 20:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

There are going to be moments in your life when the lights go out. Where you’re having to follow God in the dark. When the promises of God you read in his word (or that He’s whispered into your heart) that at one time were so clear and certain. There will come a time when they will seem like an allusion. It will all seem like an impossibility. We spend so much of our lives living in that space. Where our God seems silent and our problems are very loud. Where God seems distant and obscure an...

Irrational Obedience | Pastor Bryan

August 28, 2023 21:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

Abraham is considered “Father Abraham”...the “Father of Our Faith” because of the radicle obedience referenced here in Hebrews 11:8. Every follower of Jesus can trace their spiritual ancestry back to this single step of faith. We’re sitting here today as followers of Jesus because Abraham made that courageous decision to honor God with irrational obedience. The defining moments of your life will usually come down to a decision between your personal comfort or your irrational obedience to God.

The God of Unmet Expectations | Pastor Bryan

August 21, 2023 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MB

If, like many American Christians, you see God as a divine bellhop that can be ordered around at your whim, or a genie that’s simply supposed to grant your wishes or some type of Santa Claus that’s just there to fulfill your requests, you’re going to have a hard time processing the God revealed in the scriptures today. But, if you can learn to trust the character, the goodness, the sovereignty, and the timing of (this often-misunderstood God), that we see in the scriptures, your life will h...

Part 2 Integrity - The Lost Virtue | Pastor Bryan

August 14, 2023 21:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

Our culture is absolutely obsessed with appearance. There are even companies you can hire to help you manage your image. But God is not impressed by our image management. He couldn’t care less. He doesn’t judge a person by appearance, achievements, accomplishments, acquisitions, education, or wealth. He’s more concerned about the authentic internal you--the purity and integrity of your heart. If you have integrity, there’s not a church version of you and a different work version of you. If ...

Integrity: The Lost Virtue | Pastor Bryan

August 07, 2023 19:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

Far too many people come to church on the weekends, raise their hands in worship, give, pray, even get emotional when they sense the presence of God, and yet walk out of here and be someone totally different at work, or at home, or with the girls on that night out, or with boys out on the town because they’ve compartmentalized their life to rationalize two sets of behaviors, and people who do that don’t have integrity. They're living duplicitous, double-standard lives. It’s almost as if this...

The Love of God : Ezekiel 16 | Pastor John

July 31, 2023 22:00 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MB

He is the God who sees our tears, but do we see His tears for us? This week we are looking at one of God’s most forgotten aspects found in the book of Ezekiel … God as a lover. God comes and says I want to be the husband and lover of the church. God is a Smitten Lover, a Wounded Lover, and a Faithful Lover. This is why we need to understand that our sin is more than just breaking God’s law; our sin is what breaks God’s heart. You become a slave to what you love and seek.

Tears: A Language God Understands | Pastor Bryan

July 24, 2023 20:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

The writer of Hebrews makes a unique statement about the shed blood of Christ. He says the blood of Christ “speaks” better things than the blood of Abel. The blood of Jesus has a voice and it speaks mercy, grace, pardon, and forgiveness over our lives. In the same way, your tears have a voice. Your tears speak. They are a language all their own. And it’s a language God intimately understands. They need no interpretation or translation. It’s heart-to-heart communication. In some mysterious w...

From Generation to Generation | Scotty Gibbons | Summer at Northplace

July 16, 2023 19:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

Pastor Scotty Gibbons, one of Northplace's teaching pastors, joins us this week to discuss the importance of the next generation and our responsibility to pass on our 'God Stories' and commit to praying for them.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For | Pastor David Oliver

July 10, 2023 16:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

For so many people in the world and unfortunately for so many followers of Jesus, the phrases "I still haven’t found what I’m looking for," or "I still haven’t seen or experienced what I thought I should by now," or "I’ve looked everywhere and there still seems to be something missing in my work, in my family in my relationships in my emotional and inner life," seem to be mindsets that we constantly struggle with, and we tend to think that if I could just have this one thing, I'd be really h...

Week 2: Words- An Issue of Life or Death | Pastor Bryan

July 02, 2023 23:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MB

Words create worlds. Your words create the culture in your home. Your words create the perception people have of you. Your words either strengthen or destroy your relationships. So yes...your words create the world you live in. If you want to change your life, you have to change your words.

Words: An Issue of Life or Death | Pastor Bryan Jarrett

June 26, 2023 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MB

Proverbs has a lot to say about our speech patterns. And if you survey the entire book and examine everything it has to say about our words, it can be boiled down to this thesis or premise: If you want your words to reflect God’s heart, you need to know the “why”, “what” and “how” of words: 1. Why Words Have Power 2. What Differentiates Life-giving Words from Destructive Words 3. How to Align Your Words with God’s Heart According to Proverbs, words can kill physically, psychologically, spir...

Attitude Determines Altitude | Stuff You'll Wish You'd Known Sooner - Week 4

June 12, 2023 21:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

In week one, we saw how our relationships impact our destiny. In week two, we learned how to biblically respond to criticism and critical people. In week 3, we learned the importance of staying excited and hopeful about our future. Here’s the focus for week 4: Your attitude more than your aptitude will determine your altitude.

Stay Excited About Your Future | Stuff You’ll Wish You’d Known Sooner Week 3

June 05, 2023 06:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

In week one, we saw how the bible teaches us that our relationships determine our destinies. (For the good or the bad). The company you keep is the best indicator of your future. Last week, we learned from the lives of Moses, Hezekiah, Nehemiah, and ultimately from Jesus...on how to respond to criticism (and critical people) in an emotionally and spiritually mature way. This week, we look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:3 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little child...

Dealing with Criticism in an Emotionally Mature, Christ-Like Way | Stuff You'll Wish You'd Known Sooner

May 30, 2023 16:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

Last week we talked about relationships. And how the bible reveals that our relationships determine our destinies. (For the good or for the bad) We saw that over and over again in Scripture, from the Proverbs to Paul. Today, we’re going to look at: Dealing with Criticism in an Emotionally Mature, Christ-like Way. When we say criticism, we're not talking about the healthy kind of constructive criticism where people who love you are exposing your blind spots and speaking the hard truth becaus...

Graduation Sunday | Stuff You'll Wish You'd Known Sooner

May 22, 2023 23:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

The Bible has a lot to say about how to respond to critics and criticism in a Christ-like way, how our responses to things we can't control will determine the direction of our lives more than what actually happens to us, or about how staying excited about the future is a prerequisite to living a life of fulfillment, and how the people you associate yourself with will determine your success or failure. As we celebrate the Class of 2023, the quote "Show me your friends and I'll show you your ...

Mother's Day | God Loves Like a Mother | Pastor Bryan

May 15, 2023 21:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Happy Mother's Day As we read through our bible reading plans together this year, something has stood out like never before. Over and over again, scripture uses the imagery of a Mother’s love to capture how tender, compassionate, and absolute God’s love is for us.

Psalm 119 | TheUnfolding | Pastor Bryan

May 08, 2023 22:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

The only way to turn beliefs into character is through practices. Practices that we often call spiritual disciplines. Practices like prayer, worship, and the study of His word. There are many more Christian “practices” that produce character, but this week let's look to Psalm 119 to help us better understand the “practice” of engaging God’s word and how doing so is supposed to impact our everyday life.

Dream Week 3 | Pursuing the Dream Despite Poor Past Decisions | Pastor Bryan

May 01, 2023 22:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

Maybe you’re not all that religious and have never thought about God having some grand plan or vision for your life. In some way, you may have disqualified yourself, simply through your lack of awareness. But make no mistake about it, God has a bigger dream for your life than anything you could ever come up with on your own. You just need to discover it and develop it. You can’t change the past, but today you can start living in the present and preparing for the dream God has for your future.

The Inevitability of Struggle in Pursuit of a Dream| Dream week 2 | Pastor Bryan

April 24, 2023 21:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MB

Anybody that has ever stepped out in faith and followed God on this adventurous journey toward His dream for their lives is familiar with these words: Delay, Denial, Detour, Distraction, Discouragement, Difficulty, and Dead Ends. The headwinds of struggle are inevitable when you’re pursuing God’s call, God’s dream, and God’s plans and purposes for your life. As we talk about the struggle, we all need to remember one thing: God is more interested in who you’re becoming than what He’s called y...
