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.
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.
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.
