Make Room is a church-wide journey that invites us to align our lives with God’s heart and create space for Him to move. As we explore the biblical principle of honor, we believe that when we honor God and others through our words, actions, and relationships, we make room for God’s work to take deeper root in us and through us.
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.
En Juan 17, Jesús ora por sus seguidores, destacando la importancia de la iglesia en su plan divino. Expone cuatro aspectos clave de la iglesia:
1. La Iglesia es Crucial: Jesús dedica la mayor parte de su oración a la iglesia, lo que demuestra su centralidad en su misión. Su deseo es que la iglesia represente a Dios en la Tierra y continúe su obra.
2. La Iglesia es Contracultural: La iglesia debe ser diferente de la cultura circundante. Los seguidores de Cristo no se pertenecen a sí mismos, sino a Dios, lo que choca con la mentalidad individualista moderna.
3. La Iglesia Debe Ser Inexplicablemente Atractiva: Los creyentes deben ser más que personas admirables; deben ser inexplicables en su amor, comprensión y paciencia. Esto revela la gloria de Dios de manera única.
4. La Iglesia es el Consorcio de los Perdonados: Jesús perdona a sus seguidores y les permite ser la iglesia. Los creyentes deben reflejar ese perdón y amor en sus relaciones entre sí.
Estos aspectos resaltan la importancia de la iglesia en la obra de Jesús y su llamado a vivir de manera contracultural, atrayente y marcada por el perdón y el amor.
