Catalina North Sermons

For week 3 of the Gratitude series we meet 10 struggling outcasts who have their lives changed by Jesus. Yay, Jesus! Yet only one takes the time to say thank you, and Jesus noticed. How do we be the one, and not the other nine?

Week 2 of the Gratitude series has David, like Indiana Jones, in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant, reminding them of the presence and power of God. When the Ark is recovered, David celebrates!

Week 1 of the Gratitude series has Paul in prison writing us to be grateful in all things. While also in prison, John the Baptist struggled to agree. As do we. Do we really have reason to be grateful in all things?

Week 1 of the Made to Create series begins with the profound concept that we are Created in the Image of God - the One who Created! And that is why Today is not just a random day of the week.

The Finale of the Faith series is our picture and God’s reality of Heaven. Church provides the crucial community that encourages us for all our days on earth. But it is just the beginning of God’s eternal plan.

Week 6 of the Faith series is about the importance of Church. Not for perfect attendance prizes, but for the crucial community that encourages us for all our days on earth.

Week 5 of the Faith series has Paul continuing his journey to share Jesus with the world. And his ship crashes onto the rocks. What do we do when our forward momentum and our planned path forward comes to a halt?

Week 4 of the Faith series has Paul facing a decision: Go where he feels God is calling him to go, or listen to the faithful locals who desire for Paul to stay where it is much safer. Ever faced a go or stay decision without a clear answer? For 2,000 years we’ve been trying to figure out whether Paul made the right choice.

Week 3 of the Faith series has Lydia, the first European to follow Jesus, use her beautiful home to encourage Paul and Luke on their mission to share Jesus with their world.

Week 2 of the Faith series reminds us we have a unique place in this world while we are here. Unfortunately, there is more opposition to our task than we would choose on our own. Paul and Luke go through an experience of Injustice while doing the work they were called to do.

The Opener of the Faith series has Saul meeting Jesus face to face in the middle of Saul’s rampage to wipe out all followers of Jesus. Oops. Sometimes we fight for the wrong side. Fortunately, Ananias demonstrates there are those who get it right.

Memorial Day is our finale for our Plot series for May. Conflict drives plot in most of our stories. Let’s look at one of the craziest stores in the entire Bible, the four short verses that show us how to interact with the culture around us. (Plus a university graduate recognition)
