The Divine Transaction
When we accept the work of Calvary into our lives a Divine Transaction takes place. On the cross Jesus dealt with sin, our sinful nature, the curse of the law, the power of the devil, our human brokenness, and physical sickness.

The Gospel of the Cross, Part 2
Luke 23:26-49 To tell the story of the crucifixion of Jesus, Luke weaves together a complex set of themes that include both history and theology. Jesus, an innocent man, gives his life on the cross to save those who have rejected, taunted, mocked, and even executed him. Refusing to save himself, he saves the world. Rejected by mankind, he is nonetheless approved by God, and accomplishes redemption for all who will believe. This is no martyr story; rather, it is the story of the God-Man, the Hero, the Rescuer of Creation – Jesus Christ the Lord.

Follow Jesus
Hebrews 12:1-3 How will Northpoint endure in Gospel ministry? What gives me the kind of endurance I need to thrive and not just survive? Your endurance is all about fixing your eyes on the endurance of Jesus. Weariness in life and ministry comes as we reach for other weapons in the fight of life than the Gospel.
