Over the last several weeks we have looked at the power of the words we speak. We have seen where Jesus warns us that every word we speak is being recorded and we will one day be accountable for our every word our tongues have spoken. Today, we look into an often overlooked or minimized misuse of the tongue. What Adele is describing in her song Rumor Has It, is one dimension of the sin of gossip.

Last week we started a study of the Word that will help us recapture an understanding of the power of our tongues and how the mouth influences our entire lives. We framed the conversation around one word: ANTISEPTIC. Our prayer during this study is that he Holy Spirit and the Word of God would sanctify our hearts and therefore our mouths. In the same way mouthwash cleanses the septic parts of mouths, then may the Spirit of God cleanse the septic part of our hearts; because as we have learned if our hearts change, our mouth will follow.

There is power in our choice of words. Most of us have never stopped to study the scripture intently to see how much our words impact our lives, probably because we grew up hearing things that minimized words like this: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." But this mantra completely overlooks the emotional, psychological, and spiritual impact of words…and in all reality…what happens to the unseen parts of us, is much slower to heal than what happens to our physical bodies. The words we speak and the words we hear impact the unseen parts of us.

Like Joseph…God didn’t cause your “aloneness” but he will use it. He will set you apart. We challenge them to trust God to unleash his purpose in their lives even if they are the only ones committed to him. He has promised to never leave us alone. If we examine Joseph’s story and how it relates to us, a few key elements of his life stand out the strongest: his devastation, his dormant dream and the prophetic destiny housed in the names of his sons that are born to him in Egypt.

Pride is rooted in the devil, arrogance, self-centeredness, and self-dependence; while humility is rooted in Jesus, a teachable spirit, selflessness and dependence on God. Which one will we choose? The Bible says in Proverbs 22:4 - The reward for humility and fear of the LORD is riches and honor and life.Visit our website for the video of this message.Northplace Church on FacebookNorthplace Church on InstagramPastor Bryan Jarrett on FacebookPastor Bryan Jarrett on InstagramPastor Bryan Jarrett on Twitter

The 12th chapter of Romans is one of the most clear and concise descriptions of the mature Christian life that you will find in Scripture. Over the last several days the Holy Spirit has burned these versed into the heart of our pastor. The battles with cancer, grief, and adversity so many of our Northplace families face have our hearts grasping for something sure, eternal, steadfast and true. This powerful statement of the Apostle Paul’s offer us wisdom on how to live our lives and walk in seasons of adversity. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

There was a time in this country when a biblically centered worldview was the norm and opposing world views were the exception…this was a Christian nation. That’s not the cause anymore. Not only is a biblically centered worldview not the norm…its under attack from so many different direction. There is a great divide between the authentic follower of Christ and the mainstream culture of our country.Visit our website for the video of this message.Northplace Church on FacebookNorthplace Church on InstagramPastor Bryan Jarrett on FacebookPastor Bryan Jarrett on InstagramPastor Bryan Jarrett on Twitter

When you're in front of an impossible mountain, you need: 1. A Word from God 2. Understand that God's Spirit is greater than your effort 3. Your effort is still required 4. Remember that God has given us the promise, that through Him this mountain can become a plain. 5. A small step of faith…a single act of obedience can set this miracle in motion.

Here’s the reality dads...you’re going to influence the generations that come after for the good or the bad...there’s no neutral. Every life leaves ripples...especially the life of a father...You can’t avoid that...it’s up to you to determine the kind of ripples you want to leave The ripples of your influence are so much greater than the original moment of impact. Dad...we are going to influence our kids...whether we plan to or not...we might as well be intentional about it.

The people you choose to associate with, alter your life. That's why you need to be careful of who you hang around and be careful of who you associate with because you must guard who pours into your life. Don’t let just anyone come in and start placing things or speaking things into your life; guard your heart, guard your mind, guard your soul. Pastor John explores how the phrase “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” isn't just a repeated quote by well intentioned parents, but it is actually a Biblical concept that we all need to keep present.

We have this idea that if we all love Jesus, we are going to live in a Utopia where everybody gets along. There is no doubt that our relationship with Christ should increase our patience and we should be willing to sacrifice personal preference and defer to other brothers and sister, and yet there are going to be moments where deeply held convictions are going to clash.

Fear is a reality for a lot of us. Fear often ends up being the driving force behind our decision making. While a life of "no fear" might be impossible, we can learn to look fear in the face and still take that step forward.

The 16th Chapter of Romans is the last chapter in Paul’s Magnum Opus. His greatest gift to us. His masterpiece. The book of Romans is the book of books in the Bible. More details are given in the book of Romans regarding the transformed Christian life and what practically living for Christ looks like in the real world than any other NT book. The 16th chapter is easy to overlook. It’s a list of greetings to people with hard to pronounce names. After reading through the weightiness of the first 15 chapters, Chapter 16, feels like an insignificant, easy to skip list of personal salutations. But if you skip it you miss looking through a window into the soul of the early church. It gives you a glimpse of what life was like when Christianity was in its purest form before it was stained by institutions, politicians, egos, heresies and religious corruption. Studying - not just reading Romans 16 - is like getting in a time machine and traveling back; and if we can go back, we can learn what the church is really sup

For this Mother’s Day weekend, Pastor Bryan Jarrett helps us look to the last chapter of the book of Romans…Romans 16. Most people who read this chapter rush through it because all they see is a list of hard to pronounce names that seem to have no relevance to rest of the Bible or to their lives. It’s a long list of Paul’s personal greetings…and if that’s all you see…you too…may miss the significance of the last few verses of Romans. These farewell greetings in Roman’s 16 give us a window into the soul of early Christian life. Paul refers to people from every strata of society. Paul greets slaves and aristocrats, business professionals and unskilled laborers, government officials and people he led to the Lord in prison…people who in his culture would have never interacted together in a cordial or mutually beneficial way…and yet…the cross of Christ and the community of their faith transcended their cultural taboos and well defined social lines. Many of these people had nothing in common but their decision to

There's a major issue in our culture - an issue that has also horribly infiltrated the church. There's this idea that an individual's mistakes are always someone else’s fault. Everybody seems to have this need to blame someone else. Very few people are willing to take responsibility for their actions or own up to their wrongs. The unwillingness to be real and authentic with ourselves, with God and with people, entered our DNA when the first man and woman fell. It became a part of us, and since then we have been hiding, lying, running, blaming, and covering up simply to protect ourselves, our reputations, and our images. When you blame others you give up the power to change and there lies one of the greatest dangers of the blame game. If you're blinded into thinking it’s always someone else’s fault, you will keep perpetuating the problem and repeating the same mistakes.Visit our website for the video of this message.Northplace Church on FacebookNorthplace Church on InstagramPastor Bryan Jar

People don’t normally talk about suffering and resurrection in the same breath but they belong together because such is life. The apostle Paul joined these two extremes in his letter to the Philippians. Here’s what he said: Philippians 3:10-11 TLB 10 Now I have given up everything else—I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with him. 11 So whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead.

There are two ways to wonder…that’s why we’ve called this sermon and the series we'll be preaching the next few weeks…the Paradox of Wonder. One definition of wonder is to stand in awe. Another definition is to speculate…to question. People don’t normally talk about suffering and resurrection in the same breath but they belong together because such is life. The apostle Paul joined these two extremes in his letter to the Philippians. Here’s what he said: Philippians 3:10-11 TLB 10 Now I have given up everything else—I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with him. 11 So whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead
