Message by Chris Brown on June 15, 2024. What in the world is a loving God doing bringing so much destruction on the earth? Or maybe a better question would be: how far would God take pain and suffering to save a life? These two horrifically vivid and graphic chapters about the end of the world may just bring the hope and encouragement that we need…

Message by Arnold Camacho on June 1, 2024. Expectations, we all have them. Have you ever wondered what we inadvertently expect from God? There could be moments in following Jesus that we begin to believe that the Christian life is about comfort and riding the wave of salvation all the way to the shores of heaven. Yet, Jesus tells us of a different …

Message by Chris Brown on May 25, 2024. Our culture seems to be fascinated with the spiritual realm and the understanding that there are supernatural forces around us, or amongst us, that we cannot see. In this message, a door has been opened to that world for us to get a glimpse of these spiritual beings, and to walk away with a picture that may j…

Message by Larry Osborne on May 18, 2024. Who wouldn’t want to be blessed with health, wealth, and success? It obviously beats the alternative. But as we’ll see this weekend, those blessings and pretty much every other blessing, can come with unforeseen dangers if we don’t know what to watch out for.Video available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/fu…

Message by Chris Brown on May 11, 2024. How do you know if your Christian life is dead or alive? Or maybe a better question could be: How do you know if you are doing the things that God wants you to do? After studying chapter three and these two cities, I think the answer to both of those questions is going to be obvious and crystal clear.Video av…

Message by Chris Brown on May 4, 2024. Maybe you have heard before that the God of the Bible is a jealous God, and that struck you as rather odd. Why is He so needy and insecure, or why does He have to have His way in everything that we do? In this message we will discover that His jealousy is not about His weakness, but ours, and that our desire t…

Message by Chris Brown on April 13, 2024. For some it strikes fear, for others mystery and intrigue, and for many simply an apathy because of its confusion and uncertainty.

Message by Chris Brown on April 6, 2024. If true Christianity is not just knowing the right things, but acting on them, have you ever wondered how to live out your Christian faith? After almost a year and a half of studying the life and teachings of Jesus, we finally come to the last chapter and get great examples of how to now walk in the truth.Vi…

This message will take a few minutes looking at what the Bible claims to be truth, and then dive into the historical evidence to see if Jesus really could have raised from the dea…

Message by Chris Brown on March 9, 2024. Somehow we have been lead to believe that Jesus came just to save us and give us a better life.

Message by Larry Osborne on February 24, 2024. Have you noticed that it’s sometimes hard to tell what’s real and what’s bogus these days? In a world of knockoff products, phishing emails, A.I., and deepfake videos, a little extra caution is called for. It’s the same in the spiritual realm. Which is why in this week’s message we’ll dig into how to q…

Message by Chris Brown on February 17, 2024. If being a Christian means that Christ is actually with us, then how can we have so many doubts, so many unanswered prayers, and still walk around with the guilt and shame from our past? John breaks all of that down for us today in a message that may just change all that we thought we knew about faith an…

Message by Chris Brown on February 10, 2024. The Bible makes it clear that God is love and that we are supposed to love each other, but does that have to apply to everyone? Is there any exception for those who have really hurt us, or have hurt the people we love? This message will give us the clear answers to those questions, but even more importan…

Message by Damean Easter on February 3, 2024. The love of God is wild! When was the last time you stopped and thought about it? Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are.

It has been said that the Christian life would be easy if it wasn’t for other Christians. As much as that may be true, it is even truer that how we love Christians who drive us crazy may just be the ultimate proof of whether or not we are really followers of Christ.Video available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/xV50L22gwwU - Live Notes available at…

So Jesus was real; He came to earth, died, and rose again. Now what? What are we supposed to do with that information, and how is it supposed to change us?

Message Trent Jenkins on December 30, 2023. Here we go… 2024! January 1 feels like a magical day on the calendar where all of our bad habits will suddenly be gone. But this weekend’s message isn’t a resolutions message, it’s not a goals message. Those can be great, but can still leave you feeling empty. What do you really need to do to live a 24-ca…

Message Chris Brown on December 23, 2023. As we finish our study in the book of John today, we are also celebrating Christmas. We didn’t plan it this way, but they both begin and end with the exact same point and purpose. Until we can apply the simple fact that God can be with us, both the book and the holiday are just two more symbols of another d…

Have you ever wondered why many Christians aren’t experiencing an abundant life or living with true joy?

Jesus draws straight lines with crooked sticks. And none more so than the ragtag group of Jesus followers whose first response to the resurrection was confusion and doubt.

Easter was obviously an incredible day of joy – But did you know that the first response of those who came across the empty tomb was anything but joy? They were actually filled with confusion and doubt. This week we’ll see why that’s Good News for Confused Christians.By North Coast Church

Message from Damean Easter on November 25, 2023. Jesus has been brutally beaten and has now died on the cross… there has been no resurrection yet.

Message from Chris Brown on November 18, 2023. Is the cross just a religious symbol or a sign for what belief system I choose to follow, or is it something far greater? And even if Jesus did die on a cross, what does that have to do with me some 2,000 years later? Today’s message will take a deep dive into this symbol that we find so prominent in a…

Love, huh? That sounds great in theory. It sounds like a great idea when Jesus teaches it in the upper room where it's safe. What does love look like when it’s not in theory anymore? When the world shows up and now it’s time to practice love. Join us this weekend as we see Jesus live out love, because to Him, love was not just in theory.Video avail…

Message from Larry Osborne on October 21, 2023. Jesus’ betrayal and arrest wasn’t anything close to what everyone thought at the time.

We live in a day and age where it seems to be applauded to divide a church, and change churches, based on our differences with other Christians. Today’s last teaching from Jesus in the upper room should turn that applause into mourning, and turn our hearts back to our brothers and sisters.By North Coast Church

40 - A Different Kind Of Protection, A Different Kind Of Different - Life Or Death: The Book Of John
Jesus prayed to the Father that we’d be protected and set apart from the world we live in. But as we’ll see when we dig into the second part of the “Real Lord’s Prayer,” it was for a different kind of protection and that we’d be a different kind of different.Video available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jIIUvJsT28M - Live Notes available at https:…

Message from Damean Easter on September 30, 2023. "Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name…" This is the Lord's prayer, right?
