<title>If I Should Die - Part 4: Living As If Eternity Matters</title>

<description><![CDATA[(Psalm 39:4-7; Colossians 3:1-17 and Matt. 6:19-21) Bumper sticker: âHe who dies with the most toys winsâ. If the doctor told you that you only had one month to live you would probably change many of the things you do to reflect that news. But if you learned that a friend only had one month to live, would you tell him/her about heaven? The important thing to remember is that you never know if you even have one month! ]]></description>

<title>If I Should Die - Part 2: Heaven</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=536309#</link>
<description><![CDATA[(1Thessalonians4:13;Rev. 21:1-5) Do you think the Bible has a lot, or only limited, specific information about heaven? Do you think it is important? 

The Bible does say a lot about heaven and our lives there, but much of what we understand comes from many small references rather than long, detailed treatises. Some understanding comes by comparison to what the Bible says about the first paradise, the Garden of Eden, before sin and the curse. People have come to different conclusions on some of these issues, depending on how they interpret Scripture. Most of these differences are not essential beliefs and there is room within the united body of believers for some alternatives.]]></description>

<title>If I Should Die - Part 1: The Moment After</title>

<description><![CDATA[(Hebrews 9:27-28; 2 Cor 5:1-10; Rev. 20:11-15) Can you conceive of heaven and hell as real places, or are they just abstract concepts beyond your ability to picture? What basis do St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, baby-faced cherubs floating on clouds with harps, or ghosts and haunted houses have in the Bible? "The Moment After" is the first message for the October 2009 Series "If I Should Die Before I Wake"]]></description>

<title>A Church With a View: Open House</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=499567#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Northgate campus has a fantastic location.  It is situated on top of a hill overlooking the water, and has a great view.  What we don't often realize is that our sphere of influence as a church is literally as far as the eye can see.  As far as our "view" is, so is our mission field in our surrounding communities.  So the question is, how do we turn our view into a vision to reach our communities?  In Acts 1:8, Jesus says that his disciples will be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the Ends of the Earth.  It is also a metaphor for our mission as Christ followers...

Do you believe in second chances?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Matthew 3: 1 - 12 (John the Baptist) When a man takes a stand as a follower of Christ, it sometimes means that you stand out from the crowd. This can make you feel uncomfortable, and that you are on your own. John the Baptist had to deal with the same leadership issues. We are going to take a look at his story, and see what his life shows us about leading in our own wilderness. Are you ready to be a leader? Are you ready to stand out?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[âTime to Stop Running!â   2 Samuel 23: 11 - 12 (Shammah)  There comes a point in every manâs life where he says, âNo More!â Itâs a moment when he decides he is not going to commit the sins of his father, he is not going to be a failure as a husband or dad, and he is not going to live a life of fear in his relationships. Today is the day that we see what God wants for us in this area, and we say, âNo More!â Where are you when it comes to the relationships in your life?]]></description>

What is keeping you from getting into the fight?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nehemiah 8,13 One of the greatest pitfalls of success is complacency. When weâve experienced a measure of success it is tempting to rest on our past and lose sight of our future. But Godâs vision for our lives is eternal and while we are still on this earth there will always be room to grow and expand with God. The Big Idea: Under Nehemiahâs leadership the task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem was completed. But God had a greater purpose. He wasnât as interested in rebuilding walls as he was in rebuilding His people.]]></description>

To fulfill Godâs will for our lives we will often have to deal with all kinds of obstacles in our way. But through them God builds our character, refines our vision and stretches our faith.

<description><![CDATA[âEnlisting The Help Of Othersâ â Nehemiah 2:11-4:6 Life-transformation doesnât happen in a vacuum. It happens with the help of others who care and encourage us along the way. It happens when we share our hopes with those who are willing to invest in our lives.]]></description>

<title>Extreme Makeover-Life Edition: Seeing Things as They Could Be</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=419037#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Many fail at their New Yearâs Resolutions because itâs a piece-meal approach to change. Patching up minor character flaws or making little behavioral adjustments tend to fail because they donât see the bigger picture. Whatâs needed is a personal vision of what God can do in and through our lives.

The Big Idea: Nehemiah was moved by a need. His concern moved him to prayer and through prayer to a conviction that God had called him to be part of the solution. God used his circumstances and position to prepare Nehemiah for the work He had for him. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker has only one thing on his Christmas list -an official Red Ryder, 200-shot, BB rifle with a compass in the stock. That one desire occupies his every waking thought, it influences his behavior, it determines his choices. What one thing in our lives has that kind of power? Is there anything or anyone worth that kind of devotion?]]></description>

<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=410588#</link>
<description><![CDATA[In the modern remake of Charles Dickenâs classic, a cynically selfish TV executive comes to grips with the realization that he needs to change. And the change needed is a complete turn-around.  With the coming of Jesus, God has begun the great reversal. All because a young peasant woman was willing to say, âI am the Lordâs servant, may it be to me as you have said.â]]></description>

<title>Tom Eggum: Hope 4 Kids International</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=408379#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Impacting the lives of kids around the world has never been a job for Tom Eggum; it has been a lifestyle. Thirty years ago, Tom sat in a college classroom reading about the struggles in the Soviet Union who suffered  silently behind the Iron Curtain. Tom took matters into his own hands and began to smuggle suitcases full of aid into the Soviet Union. He had eight successful trips into the Soviet Union until 1981 when he was caught, arrested and blacklisted by the KGB. He had his visa revoked and was forbidden to enter the Soviet Union for five years. 

Instead of standing on the sidelines, he took six trips into China. He brought medicine, vitamins, antibiotics, clothes and shoes. From these life-altering experiences, he founded Hope 4 Kids 
International.

Currently, Hope 4 Kids International  has been in over 94 countries bringing hope and necessary care to kids.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Whenever a preacher teaches about money people jump to the conclusion that he only wants them to give. Jesus taught more on the topic than any other subject yet he never asked anyone to give him their money. So what is Godâs view of money? What does He want us to do with it?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In a culture that uses sex to sell us everything from sports cars to breath mints itâs difficult to avoid the subject, yet it is seldom talked about in our churches. Our sexuality is a gift from God, designed to be enjoyed as the fulfillment of the intentional, committed relationship of marriage in which two become âone fleshâ. "It's God's Idea" will look at what God had in mind when he created us as physical beings, male and female in His own image.]]></description>

Whether itâs a belief in human nature, in science, in a some vague âhigher powerâ or in a personal God, everyone has a set of beliefs that they build their life on. Ultimately, all of us must answer the question, âWhat Do I Believe?â This weeks message concludes the "i Doubt" sermon series.]]></description>

<title>iDoubt Part 3: Reality Check</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=360929#</link>
<description><![CDATA[The life of faith is meant to be lived out. Living is faithâs reality check. If faith is not being practiced it will eventually be considered impractical. If it is only doctrine and dogma it will eventually be doubted as untrue. So, if we live out what we claim to believe, will doubt diminish?

<title>iDoubt Part 2: Faith Out of Focus</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=358504#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Everyone experiences times of confusion, questioning and doubt. As humans we always live with uncertainty and we will always be left with questions. How should we deal with our questions and doubts? Some of our doubts arise from a faulty view of God. Faulty presuppositions lead to faulty foundations of faith and when those foundations are shaken, so is our faith. That gives rise to doubt. Can doubting actually lead us to a better understanding of God and therefore grow our faith? Join us for "Faith Out Of Focus" as we continue our "i Doubt" sermon series.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Everyone experiences times of confusion, questioning and doubt. As humans we always live with uncertainty and we will always be left with questions. How should we deal with our questions and doubts? Sometimes we think that faith requires that we not have any doubt. We may feel guilty because we donât believe with enough certainty. Is there really a difference between faith and belief? How about between doubt and unbelief? This weeks message, "Doubt, Belief and Faith", is the first of a new sermon series entitled "i Doubt".]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Caught up in our day-to-day routine we easily lose sight of what truly matters. Schedules, errands and appointments replace relationships. Details and deadlines get in the way of time spent with people. And the urgent distracts us from the eternal. These are all symptoms of "Small-Minded" living. God has given us a bigger vision, a higher calling and a far more meaningful way of life. But to live it, we'll have to break through our small-minded thinking. "Breaking The Barrier Of Small", this weekend's study, concludes our series, "Breaking Barriers and Living Beyond", getting God's perspective on life, relationships and ministry.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The promise of Jesus is the promise of lifeâ a life freed by forgiveness, a life transformed by grace, life as God intended it to be lived. That's good news and it's worth sharing. But many of us don't share our faith because of our own insecurities and fears. "Breaking The Barrier Of Fear", this weekend's study, continues our series, "Breaking Barriers and Living Beyond" as we look at the best way to share our faith by sharing our life's story.]]></description>

<title>Simple Faith - Simply Share</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=303497#</link>
<description><![CDATA[As you read the accounts of Jesus' life one thing stands out above everything elseâ his love for people. Though his teachings were powerful, he wasn't just an educator. When he encountered people who were hurting, broken, lonely and struggling with real-life issues he accepted them. He forgave them. He loved them. And, after he had paid the ultimate price, he gathered his followers together and told them to pass it onâ share that message of love, acceptance and forgiveness. "Simply Share", this weekend's study, concludes our "Simple Faith" series looking at how the message of Godâs love and grace can be shared, not just with words, but through our lives.]]></description>

<title>Simple Faith - Simply Serve</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=300917#</link>
<description><![CDATA[There seems to be no end of "how to" books designed to help us make more, earn more or get more out of life. Very few, if any, give us pointers on how to give more, share more or serve more. The teachings of Jesus run counter to this approach to life. Jesus said, "The greatest among you will be your servant." and "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The thing that makes Jesus' teaching so powerful is that he didn't just talk about giving and serving, he did it! "Simply Serve", this weekend's study, continues our "Simple Faith" series looking at how to be better at loving by getting better at serving.]]></description>

<title>Simple Faith - Simply Care</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=298870#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Many people begin the New Year with a resolution to pay more attention to their spiritual growth and development. That usually means a resolve to go to church, read the Bible, or spend more "quiet time" with God. All of these activities are commendable, even vital for nurturing your faith but they'll be incomplete if they don't translate into life and relationship transformation. In other words, "People don't care how much you know, they want to know how much you care." "Simply Care", this weekend's study, continues our "Simple Faith" series looking at how growth happens best in the contest of a caring community.]]></description>

<title>Simple Faith - Simply Love</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=296328#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Clearing away all of the religious clutter and sanctimonious double-talk of his time Jesus simplified his message with a straight-forward command: "Love God with all of your being and love your neighbor as yourself." Incredibly simple, incredibly profound, because the type of love that Jesus taught was far different and far more penetrating than what passes for love in our culture. "Simply Love", this weekend's study, continues our "Simple Faith" series looking at how nurturing our love for God enables us to more deeply love others.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As we begin a new year we always should take time to look back. But then there is always the New Year, so we need to take time to look at what we hope for in this New Year.

So with looking ahead, we are starting a series called SIMPLE Faith. With all that is going on in life, wouldnât it be nice to find something that is simple for this New Year?

This Sunday: Simple Faith & Simple Focus. Letâs take a look at how Jesus took the religion of his day and made it SIMPLE.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Christmas story tells of many different visitors who came to see a newborn baby. Different people with different backgrounds and different sets of expectations. But the one thing they all had in common was a desire to find what they were looking for. "What Are You Looking For?", this weekend's study, concludes our Christmas series, "Getting Christmas Right", with a look at becoming better seekers in our desire to follow God.]]></description>

<title>Getting Christmas Right: Are You Living?</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=288470#</link>
<description><![CDATA[The central message of the Christmas story is that God, in Jesus, "became flesh and lived among us." As absurd as that might sound to some, it's the assertion of Scripture that Christ came, "that they may have life, and have it to the full." That presents us with the question, "Am I living that type of life, am I experiencing life in its fullest?" "Are You Living?", this weekend's study, continues our Christmas series,
"Getting Christmas Right", with a look at the difference between life on our terms and the life that God has promised.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Christmas Season is filled with light. White lights, colored lights, blinking and running lights decorate the homes, stores and businesses all around us. It's a great tradition that fills the darkest time of the year with joy and wonder. Jesus, we are told, came as a light to this world. And if we are paying attention to him and his teachings we can find hope, guidance and encouragement in him. "Can You See Him?", this weekend's study, continues our  "Getting Christmas Right" series with a look at how the light of Christ can penetrate the darkness of our lives.]]></description>

There are family traditions; "his" family's traditions and "her" family's traditions. And if we're not paying attention we can get so caught up in fulfilling all of the Christmas traditions that we can miss the message. "Are You Listening?"- this weekend's study- begins a new series for the Christmas season: "Getting Christmas Right", with a look at how God speaks to us.]]></description>

Is it possible that you will invite those who have invited or will invite you to enjoyable events? This message, "Savory Feast", will probe one of the more challenging teachings of Jesus so we may learn what it means for us today. We'll discover that living as followers of Christ demands a willingness to bless others who may not be able to bless us.]]></description>

<title>Precarious Abundance</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=277865#</link>
<description><![CDATA[When Jesus taught about the "Kingdom of God" he challenged his listeners in
very big ways to represent what God intended in the Law. There are many
areas of the Law that address the proper use of resources to sustain human
needs. We are urged to not hoard what God has blessed us with. This week's
message, "Precarious Abundance", reflects on the meaning of Jesus' words
and how a few lives at Northgate have recently been impacted by putting our
faith into action.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jesus announced that the greatest commandment was to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. He insisted that these were not two separate commandments but the dual expressions of one single commandment. Then he added, "all of the law and the prophets hang on this." If there is anything that we need to learn in this lifetime, it's this: Learn How To Love. "Love God, Love People", concludes our "Faith In Action" series this weekend as we learn to put into practice the loving grace of God.]]></description>

<title>Faith in Action Part 3: Think Big But Start Small</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=269493#</link>
<description><![CDATA[It is sometimes overwhelming when we look at the needs around us. "The needs are so great," we think, "and I have so little to offer. What difference can I possibly make?" and because we can't do the BIG thing we end up doing NOTHING. Jesus often took small stuff and did great things with it. He fed thousands with a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish. He taught his followers to be "faithful with little." and he used the example of a mustard seed to describe how a little faith can have a huge impact. "Think Big But Start Small", continues our "Faith In Action" series as we learn how to look at how God can take what little we have to offer and use it to do great things.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We all have a lens through which we look at the world. Our "lens" influences how we see the people around us. It is colored by certain experiences, assumptions and judgments that we make on a regular basis. When Jesus looked at people he often saw them in a way that was quite different from the way others did. He always seemed to see with eyes of compassion. "Perspective, Seeing With God's Eyes", continues our "Faith In Action" series as we learn how to look at people as Jesus did so that we will better treat people as he did.

<title>Faith in Action Part 1: Detours, Delays and God's Direction</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=264112#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Nobody likes detours. Detours send you out of your way, they put you on an unfamiliar route, they interrupt your schedule and they always take longer than the way you'd planned to go. We don't like detours in our driving and we don't like detours in our lives. But what if life's detours had a purpose? What if we looked at life's interruptions as opportunities? What if God were using the alternate routes that our lives sometimes take to point us in the direction that he wants us to go? These are the thoughts we're going to explore in this study,"Detours, Delays and God's Direction ", as Pastor Ken begin a new four week series, "Putting Our Faith Into Action."]]></description>

<title>What Is Best</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=261615#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Choices. We make them every day and we most often opt for what we deem is "best". How do we determine what the "best" is? We go by standards we have adopted for ourselves influenced by the culture and mindset around us. As is typical when reading what God has revealed in the Bible, we are challenged about our held notions. God, very often, places a very high value on that which we would not be naturally inclined to esteem. We will hear and learn "What is Best", according to God, in Pastor Jeff's message this week.]]></description>

We live in a world that often leaves us with a longing for something more. It's where we live, but on a very deep level we sense it's not really "home".

<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=254083#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Although we may want to stay fully connected with God, there always seem to be interruptions and distractions fighting for our attention and affection.

Thirst - Satisfying My Soul's Desire, takes a look at what to do in times of spiritual dryness and continues the study in the book of Psalms, Meeting God; Learning To Express Our Hearts.

<title>Answering God-Part 3:Renewal - Create In Me a Clean Heart</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=251673#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Can you remember the first time that you realized you'd done something wrong? The feelings of guilt and the remorse you may have felt from disappointing someone you respected? We've all messed up at one time or another. And we've all had to go back, apologize and make things right. But how do you reconcile with God? How do experience forgiveness and restoration in your relationship with Him? That's the subject Renewal - Create In Me A Clean Heart, continuing the study of the book of Psalms, Meeting God; Learning To Express Our Hearts.]]></description>

<title>Answering God-Part 2: How Long, O Lord?</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=249461#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Nobody likes to wait. Whether it's long lines at the grocery store or being put "on hold" for the next available operator, waiting is never fun. Some waiting is even more distressing; the wait for a teen that is an hour late past curfew or waiting for results from a medical test.  The higher the stakes, the harder it is to wait. Continuing our studies in the book of Psalms, Meeting God; Learning To Express Our Hearts, the topic is Waiting - How Long O Lord? Join us as together we learn how to keep trusting God when life doesn't make sense.]]></description>

<title>Answering God-Part 1: Learning to Express Our Hearts</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=247145#</link>
<description><![CDATA[How do you relate to a God whose goodness cannot be measured? How do you respond to such great love and mercy? How do you answer One who leaves you speechless? The Book of Psalms gives us the words. For centuries these inspired writings have provided us with honest expressions of the heart for every circumstance imaginable. While they are universal to the human condition they are also intensely personal to our individual experience. This new series of studies in the Psalms is entitled, Answering God; The first message is Learning To Express Our Hearts, beginning with Praise -From All That Is Within Me.]]></description>

<title>Missing the Mark-Part 2: Escaping Snares</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=244656#</link>
<description><![CDATA[We often say or hear "I'm hooked on _____" (fill in the blank). We use the phrase with some levity not realizing that addiction can easily cross into severity. Accompanying our human desire to find meaning and purpose in life is the trap of becoming enslaved and dependant on something that seems to compensate for pain and frustration, but is ultimately destructive. As this message concludes our brief series Missing the Mark, we will see how the Bible guides us toward purposeful life: Escaping Snares.]]></description>

<title>Missing the Mark-Part 1: Evasive Target</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=242319#</link>
<description><![CDATA[The church has had a shaky history of either overemphasizing or glossing over the topic of sin (with all its immediate and eternal consequences). The subject touches a nerve in every human being because we all suffer the malady of serving only ourselves and not really caring about Godâs desires or the needs of others. Why are we afflicted in such a way? If we are serious about reading and learning what God has revealed in the bible, we cannot avoid being confronted with this universal problem. We will look at how sin is characterized and how God has taken the initiative to remedy our problem with a two-week series entitled: Missing the Mark with the message: âEvasive Target."]]></description>

<title>Life on the Vine-Part 5: Becoming Faithful in a Throw-away Culture</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=237722#</link>
<description><![CDATA[We live in what has often been called a "disposable society". We have disposable plates, knives and forks, disposable razors, cameras and contact lenses. Even big expense items like computers can, within three short years, become more expensive to repair than to replace. This disposable mentality is not limited to material goods. Our jobs, our friendships, even marriages are sometimes discarded because they've outlasted their usefulness or no longer please us. Yet some of the most fulfilling and satisfying rewards in life come from steadfast, enduring faithfulness. Becoming Faithful In A Throw-away Culture continues our series entitled, Life On The Vine; Cultivating Godly Character, with a look at developing faithfulness through all of life.]]></description>

<title>Life On The Vine-Part 4: Becoming Good</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=235494#</link>
<description><![CDATA["Good" is a word that we use with some ambivalence. If a movie was "good", that usually means it was just "O.K." Good, not great. If someone is too "good" we deride them for being, "self-righteous" or "goody-goody". Yet we long for the "good life", we remind our children to "be good", and someone who is always there for us we consider a "good friend". Becoming Good continues our series entitled, Life On The Vine; Cultivating Godly Character, with a look at how to live a truly good life.]]></description>

<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=233303#</link>
<description><![CDATA[We've often been encouraged to practice, "Random Acts of Kindness". But what if we became even more intentional? What if we actually lived lives of kindness? How would our neighborhoods, our schools, our workplaces and our freeways change if patience and kindness became more than a random act, but a way of life? Is that even possible? Patience and Kindness in a "Me-First" Society, continues our series entitled, Life On The Vine; Cultivating Godly Character, with a look at learning patience and practicing kindness.]]></description>

<title>Life On The Vine-Part 2: Cultivating Joy and Peace</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=231112#</link>
<description><![CDATA["The pursuit of happiness" is one of the unalienable rights set forward in the Declaration of Independence. It could easily be argued that we are often so busy in our pursuits, that we're missing out on the happiness. The pace of our lives can actually keep us from enjoying life.

While happiness is most often dictated by our circumstances, Jesus spoke of character qualities that are far more substantial. They are qualities that sustain and outlast any circumstance.

Cultivating Joy and Peace continues our series entitled, Life On The Vine; Cultivating Godly Character, with a look at how God produces resiliency in the lives of his followers. ]]></description>

<title>Life On The Vine-Part 1: Cultivating A Life Of Love</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=228729#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Every culture has certain shared values, convictions and characteristics. Out of these grow the expectations that guide and shape the lives of the people in that culture. 

Jesus said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." The distinguishing characteristic that should define those who follow Christ is love. So how can we cultivate this love in our lives and in our community?

Cultivating A Life Of Love, begins a new series entitled, Life On The Vine; Cultivating Godly Character, with a look at the first of the characteristics that Christ grows in his followers. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["What am I leaving my kids?" It's a good question for every father 
to ask himself from time to time.

Beyond drafting a will or providing for their physical well-being, what are we fathers instilling deep within our children's souls? What things ought we provide and how can we provide them?

A Father's Legacy, this Father's Day message takes a look at the important role of fathers and the heritage they can leave their children.]]></description>

<title>Dealing with Doubt-Part 3: How Can There Be a Loving God?</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=224019#</link>
<description><![CDATA[One question that overlaps every generation and culture is the one that interrogates the notion that God is loving. It's based on the pervasive presence of evil, suffering and death. This form of doubt is possibly the most readily used attack that the Bible's revelation of a caring God is erroneous. Those who use this appear to have a reasonable complaint: "Why doesn't God use His power to stop the evil, suffering, pain and death?"

As we look at what the bible says about the relationship between knowledge and faith, we are challenged with the fact that our perspective can be distorted and that there are some bigger things to consider. How Can There Be a Loving God concludes and resolves the 4-week series Dealing With Doubt.]]></description>

This weeks message from special guest speaker Jim Mitchell continues our series Dealing with Doubt. I Have... No Doubt!...? will teach us that there are times where we must simply hold fast to our faith without "wavering".]]></description>

<title>Dealing with Doubt-Part 1: What Are We Doing Here?</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=219164#</link>
<description><![CDATA[The Rock group Kansas recorded a popular song in the late 1970s called Dust In the Wind. From the lyrics we can hear: Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea. All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see. Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind.	
When Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes, he often concluded similar thoughts. He was pondering purpose.

Every human being ponders purpose. We see this in common human desire for authority, security, fulfillment and destiny. In this message, we'll identify with Solomon's thoughts as we ask the question What Are We Doing Here? in continuing our current series Dealing With Doubt.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Doubt has been defined as a suspension of knowledge. As human beings, we often find ourselves in such suspension. Certain novelists make much money from being able to cause readers to hover over a plot until it is resolved. For the seeker of God or follower of Christ, faith is the major mode of operation. But, as every person soon discovers, doubt does not stop after one believes. Knowledge and reason continue to be at work in the process of faith. This message begins the Dealing With Doubt series with the introductory theme We Know In Part.]]></description>

<title>Living the Free Life Part 4: Free to Love</title>

<description><![CDATA[Freedom can be a risky venture. We live in a free society and yet we all understand that freedom doesn't 
allow us to trample on the rights and freedoms of others. Freedom cannot be used as an excuse for self-indulgence because ultimately, selfishness results in harm to others.

Paul the apostle wrote, "Don't use your freedom to indulge... rather, serve each other in love."

"Free To Love" continues our series, "Living The Free Life", with a look at how God's grace frees us from our preoccupation with ourselves in order to truly experience love for others.]]></description>

"Free To Trust" continues our series, "Living The Free Life", with a look at the freedom we can experience when we get rid of religion and embrace a relationship with God.]]></description>

<title>Living the Free Life Part 1: Free to Live</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=204872#</link>
<description><![CDATA[The pursuit of freedom is at the very heart of what it means to be human. We long to live free but we are easily imprisoned. Our desires can trap us in addiction, our possessions can imprison us with worry, our past can enslave us with regret, and even our religion can become a prison of demands and expectations. "Free To Live", this week's study begins our new series of studies, "Living The Free Life", with a look at some of the traps that keep us from living in freedom. ]]></description>

<title>Searching for Jesus Part 6: Fully Alive</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=201824#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Easter is not just an event to be commemorated once a year, nor is it simply the proof that Jesus was who he claimed to be. 

At it's heart, Easter is about life.

The resurrection is God's invitation to each of us to come alive. It is about life at its fullest, lived the way we were always intended to live. "Fully Alive", this Easter's message concludes our series, "Searching for Jesus", with a look at the wonder, mystery and power of God to restore a life.]]></description>

<title>Searching for Jesus Part 5: Jesus, the Master of Life</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=199107#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Everything that Jesus taught and did was filled with life.

The Gospel writers record in great detail how Jesus concerned himself with life in every respect -physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual LIFE. He knew what life was about and he came to bring that life, in all of its fullness, to us.

"Jesus, The Master of Life", this message continues our series, "Searching for Jesus", looking at the life-giving promises and their impact on our lives today.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jesus had a way of cutting through the smokescreens and getting to the heart of a matter. He not only came to reveal the truth about God he also came to reveal to us the truth about ourselves.

"The Truth Revealer", this week's message continues our series, "Searching for Jesus", with a look at how truth may sometimes make us feel uncomfortable but it ultimately results in freedom.]]></description>

<title>Searching for Jesus Part 3: The Compassionate Healer</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=193923#</link>
<description><![CDATA[All four accounts of Jesus' life in the gospels are filled with emotional detail. Jesus was not a stoic walking unemotionally through life. He taught with humor in his stories, he shed tears at a friend's death and sighed deeply at his follower's unbelief. But most often, we are told, he was moved with compassion.

The essence of Jesus' life was compassion, caring and understanding. And in that we see the heart of God.

"The Compassionate Healer", continues our series, "Searching for Jesus", with a look at how the compassion of Jesus frees us from the need to hide our hurts and instead, find wholeness in body, spirit and soul.]]></description>

<title>Searching for Jesus Part 2: Turning Tables</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=191194#</link>
<description><![CDATA[We continue our series "Searching for Jesus." When searching, it doesn't take long to discover that Jesus challenged the status quo. According to Jesus' assessment, the Word of God had been turned into an instrument of death, rather than life. Simply stated, if God's truth doesn't bring change, it is not being engaged.

This week's message, "Turning Tables", looks intently at the event of Jesus clearing the temple. We will see that what many misunderstand as "rage" was clearly consistent with what Jesus came to teach humanity about God's truth and a purposeful and meaningful life in Him.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[He was the son of an insignificant handyman, in a backwater town, in a remote annex of the vast Roman Empire. Yet his life and teachings changed human history. No one can deny his impact on the world.

Such a powerful figure cannot be dismissed. Whether you choose to follow him or not, you must at least listen to what he had to say.

"Searching For Jesus", a new series of studies begin with the first installment, "The Jesus Who Calls Us To Follow".]]></description>

<title>When The Church Is At It's Best</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=186168#</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are few organizations that have had as much positive effect AND negative effect in this world than the church. At it's worst, the church has been accused of hypocrisy, bigotry and self-righteous judgmentalism.

But at it's best, the church provides a community of love, acceptance and forgiveness. Where people can come as they are, discover the love God has for them, and experience caring and supportive relationships that help nurture their spiritual growth.

"When The Church Is At It's Best...", this weekend's topic will celebrate 
Northgate's 16th anniversary with a renewal of our purpose to be the 
church God designed us to be.]]></description>

<title>Trouble with a Capital T</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=183492#</link>
<description><![CDATA[If you're at all familiar with the 1960's Broadway Musical and Movie THE MUSIC MAN, you'll recognize the line WE'VE GOT TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL T. The story behind THE MUSIC MAN has to do with a swindling traveling salesman who makes money by playing on the fears of people in a small Midwest town.

This week's message, WITH A CAPITAL T will teach us how the fear of trouble can paralyze a follower of Christ from living in peace and fulfilling the purpose God intended for us in the world. We'll learn how Jesus often challenged us to not fear and to find peace in trusting him.]]></description>

<title>Hi Def Living: Redefining Servanthood</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=180875#</link>
<description><![CDATA[How do you define "greatness"? Typical answers usually include things like power, wealth, intelligence or prestige.

Jesus said, "The greatest among you will be your servant." His words are challenging and powerful, but what gives his words such power is that he not only talked about serving, he actually served.

"Redefining Servanthood", concludes our series, "Life In High Definition", this weekend with a look at what greatness looks like in God's eyes.]]></description>

<title>Hi Def Living: Highly Defined Finances</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=178583#</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are few things more personal, more difficult to manage and generate more stress in our lives than our finances. Though we live in one of the most affluent areas of the richest nation in the world we never seem to have enough. In a constant pursuit of "more" we never seem to be satisfied.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus warned against such fleeting pursuits; "Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal." He also taught, "One's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." Such wisdom is not only applicable but necessary today.

"Highly Defined Finances", continues our series, "Life In High Definition", this weekend with a look at what Jesus had to say about money, possessions and eternity. ]]></description>

"Re-Defined Relationships", this weekend's message continues our series, "Life In High Definition" with a look at how God uses others to to do his work in us and, in turn, uses us to accomplish his work in others.]]></description>

<title>Hi Def Living: Defining Your Calling</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=171619#</link>
<description><![CDATA["Hi-Definition" seems to be the buzzword of our times. Everything from televisions to weather radars seem to come in "Hi-Def".

What would a Highly Defined Life look like? Looking at life from a different perspective, with clarity, meaning and precision would be life as God intended. Rather than trying to change behaviors with New Year's resolutions, it is actively recognizing God's hand at work in your life and responding to Him. 

"High Def Living -Defining Your Calling", this Sunday's message begins our New Year's Series of studies, "Life In High Definition."]]></description>

This weekend we welcome some very special guests who have taken that directive to heart; Michelle Kelly Sims, who works with abondoned children who are at risk in the nation of Romania and Mike & Jodi Bunn, with Mercy Air-Brazil.

<title>Lord of Heaven and Earth</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=153288#</link>
<description><![CDATA[At Northgate Christian Fellowship, we do our best to teach the Godly principles found in the bible in applicable and relevant ways. But there are those times when we read something in the bible, where it becomes difficult to say: "This is what this means and this is what you should do."

This is especially true when we simply ponder the full essence of who God is. 
That is what we will do this weekend in the message: "Lord of Heaven and Earth." Be ready, because there's plenty in such pondering that will 
challenge your life for the good.]]></description>

<title>Say Grace</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=150952#</link>
<description><![CDATA[If you're not in the habit of doing this, you've probably been at a meal where it has been done. Before those who've gathered begin to eat, someone offers to "Say Grace". It's a time where everyone stops what they're doing and listens to the person praying thank God for the food that all will enjoy.

As we prepare to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, most of us pause and reflect on the good things we have. 

This week's message "Say Grace" challenges us to ponder what life would be like without all God has given to us and how humbly dependent we are on his provision.]]></description>

<title>Rediscovering Servanthood</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=148533#</link>
<description><![CDATA[There are few things more gratifying than knowing that you've made a difference. People will often give up their own comfort and make sacrifices of their time and energy if they know that it is going to tangibly help someone else. The great surprise is, that in bettering others we also become better.

"Rediscovering Servanthood", this Sunday's message continues our series of studies, "Rediscovering Church" with a look at the positive impact generosity and compassion can have in the lives of others and in ourselves.]]></description>

<title>Rediscovering Church</title>
<link>http://www.ngate.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=146096#</link>
<description><![CDATA[What comes to mind when you hear the word "church"? The answers are probably as different as our own, personal experience. 

As a whole, the church has been involved in a lot of good in this world and, unfortunately, has also made its share of mistakes. Because the church is made up of people it will always be subject to human weakness but, by the power of God, it also holds onto the hope of transformation.

"Rediscovering Church", this Sunday's message will look at the core values that define the church at it's best.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Opportunities are sometimes described as "open doors". If someone is easily accessible they're said to have an "open door policy". But doors also carry a bit of risk. We're never really sure what lies on the other side of the door. That's where faith comes in.

"Opening Doors", this weekend's message, will look at the accessibility, the opportunities and the steps of faith that are needed to enter into the life God has offered us.]]></description>
