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 messages concludes our series on the tongue. Each week we have examined what the Bible means when it says…“life and death are in the power of the tongue.” Our attention has been predominantly focused on the “deadly” uses of the tongue. Before we conclude this sermon today and ultimately this series, let's shift our attention away from the destruction our mouths can cause, to the “life” our mouths can create.
Let's look at the power in our tongues to build up and edify.
It’s been encouraging to see how this biblical study on the power of words has impacted so many in our congregation. The Holy Spirit is truly becoming the antiseptic to the “septic” or infected parts of our hearts and as he changes our hearts, he’s cleaning up our speech.
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.
