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.
Today we are beginning a brand new series that has the potential to change all of our lives in an incredibly profound way. The series is called Terminal: Live Like Your Leaving. Today and over the next three weeks, we are going to examine how our lives would be different if we recognized this inescapable truth…Our time on this earth very limited.
We have intentionally played off of the double meaning of the word “terminal”. From the Easter invites that were designed to look like a boarding pass, to the sights and sounds when you walk in today…everything has been prepared to feel like an airport terminal…to make you aware that you are about to board a flight. In a way, life is like an airport terminal. Based on the decisions you make here, you decide what gate your going to depart from…you decide what journey your going to take in the after life.
Over the next few weeks, we want to address this reality that nobody wants to talk about. We are all “terminal”. Every person in this room that has had a beginning is going to have an ending. And when you look at our lives in the big picture of history…the time we have is extremely short.
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.
