Kingdom Builders is your invitation to go beyond ordinary generosity – it's how we can reach more people, transform more lives, and expand Northplace Church's impact for generations to come.
I grew up in a small farming community in the heart of the rural south. My father would often disappear for days or weeks at a time. Then one day, he left and never returned. For years as a child, I was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of an extended family member. As a teenager, I became an alcoholic to escape the pain. Abuse, abandonment, and addiction defined my life. Then in my late teen years, I gave my life to Jesus. His love and healing transformed me. After meeting Jesus, God’s grace not only dealt with my sin, but also began to heal the hurts of my past. This experience with grace forged in me a passion for broken people. Northplace Church’s vision to “invite the uninvited” and pursue “forgotten people in forgotten places” is strategic and intentional, born out of the experience with grace in my personal pain.
This is week 2 in the series and we are going to focus on eliminating the distractions that keep us from hearing God’s voice and shutting out the competing noises that drowned out God’s voice.
If we want to hear from God we must discipline our selves to create margin in our schedule and use that margin to position our hearts to hear Him. (more on that in a moment)
Life immerses us in a myriad of human interactions, influences, and demands. Our schedules are bloated with work responsibilities, commitments to family, church, and community, and leisure activities—while the noises of civilization envelop us. Media messages by the thousands bombard us through electronic, visual, and print sources.
How will we ever hear the whisper of God? Is God calling us but he can’t get through because the line is always busy?
Living lives of extravagant generosity helps create more opportunities for people to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus and to reach the world for the Kingdom of God. Digital and physical giving options are available for your convenience.
