Northeast Christian Podcast

We have a God who understands our grief and offers hope. In light of recent events, we worship with intentional prayer and action. This is who we are as a church. It is what we do. Jesus is why. Check out our videos to learn more about us, or visit us at necchurch.org. Follow us on Facebook: @NECChurch Instagram: @northeast.church

He is risen. He is risen, indeed. This Easter, we discuss the Resurrection and how to accept the gospel both historically and personally.

As we look toward Easter Sunday, we paused on Palm Sunday to praise God for all that He has done, all that He is doing, and all that He will continue to do. We celebrated how much God is moving in our church, in Love the ‘Ville Outreach and in our Deaf and Indian Ministries!

What does it mean to be “All In” at Northeast? In the final week of our vision series, we are asking those who consider themselves “All In” to sign a Stakeholder Covenant: Living Generously, Serving Sacrificially, Engaging in Church Community, Having a Rule of Life, Having a Love the ‘Ville Playbook, Supporting the Mission, Vision and Values of Northeast Christian Church and Sharing My Faith With People Outside the Church.

"We have momentum, and momentum is hard to get, fun to have, but easy to lose. So Stakeholders, let's take a hold of what God is doing here." In this week of our vision series, we look at the mission, vision, values of our church and the direction God is leading us.

"What is the best vision for a Love the 'Ville Church? It is Romans 12. Thank you, Paul." In this first week of our vision series, we look at Romans 12 and what it means to be all in for God and the Church.

In this Worship and Prayer service, we get the opportunity to connect with God and others as we enter the Lenten season, a Spiritual tradition dating back to the earliest Apostles. Today, we are continuing this spirit of repentance and self-sacrifice, to ready our hearts for Easter.

Jesus calls us friend. Isn’t that beautiful? As we obey Him, our friendship with Jesus grows deeper. Obedience isn’t always easy but it produces intimacy with our Father who cares for us with an everlasting love.

Friends who share an eternal bond in Christ can speak truth without fear of separation. In our current seres, "Forever Friends," we're learning how to make friends and be a good one. This week's message is about the deep friendship of Paul and Barnabas.

In our current seres, "Forever Friends," we're learning how to make friends and be a good one. This week's message is about the covenant friendship between David and Jonathan.

Adult friendship is two people saying ''I haven't seen you in forever, we should really meet up more'' over and over again until one of you dies. But it doesn't have to be this way. In "Forever Friends", we're learning how to make friends and be a good one. Today we're learning to be a good friend to yourself first, start with who is already in your life, and how to be willing to work through the mess.

Exodus transports us from palatial power to slave labor in a few verses that span a few generations. Seems the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will perish beneath Pharaoh’s whips along with their distant God and His absurd promises. Or will it? Enter stage right — Moses. Fished out the Nile, raised in royalty, married in Midian, and blessed by a bush. The reluctant one delivers God’s plagues, then God’s people, then God’s law. Deuteronomy is just barely more exciting than Leviticus…until you peak beneath the hood to see what God is up to. The book is basically one big do-over (the name literally means a second law). It’s not merely a remake, it’s a new start. Let’s take a second look at the “Second Law” for the best chance at a new beginning.   For more resources to study Exodus & Deuteronomy, please visit www.necchurch.org/resources

The beginning has begun. Creation is history. God did it! And God has put an image of Himself to rule and enjoy it. "Adam and Eve, you're here! And you're hired!" What a gig! What a grace! All is good in paradise, right? What could go wrong? Well, apparently ... us. Turns out this managerial arrangement will serve as the central point of conflict in the plot of the human story. The humans forget they are an image, not Immanuel. We get too big for our britches. We lead above our paygrade. We mistake having the image of God for having the wisdom and foresight of God. And we seize authority rather than trusting that God's way is the best way. Which begs the question - What is God going to do about it? Will he fire us? Will he give up on the relationship? Not a chance. While sin may win the battle, it will not win the war. For more resources to study Genesis, please visit https://www.necchurch.org/genesis-resources/

Genesis, THE origin story. It’s Bible study week! By the end of this message, you will be able to outline this epic book, understand its foundational themes, answer some of the hard questions everyone debates, and find Jesus in its pages. At Northeast, we want our people to know, honor, and read the Bible. That journey starts here in the “Genesis” of everything and everyone. Visit www.necchurch.org/resources/genesis for more tools to help you study Genesis.

We're ringing in the New Year the best way we know how. This special New Year's Day prayer service will encourage you to start the year in the presence of the Lord. 

As a church, Northeast is committed to being in the forefront of both relief and development. "Relief" makes a difference in communities in the short term by helping provide for immediate physical needs. "Development" takes a long term approach by working to reduce the need for future intervention and aid. Relief and development mobilize Christians locally and globally to express their concern and compassion in practical ways, such as financially supporting projects or volunteering where help is needed. Sometimes, a simple food box or a Christmas Gift offered in God's name is worth a thousand sermons on love and compassion. Where some look at the needs and pain in the world with despair or disinterest, Northeast sees tremendous opportunity and privilege to serve the poor, marginalized, and forgotten through both relief and development. All we do in the ministry of relief and development is for God's glory. Working with Love the 'Ville outreach Partners, you could help a young woman leave a trafficked life. Yo

Holistic Ministry views people through God’s eyes as complete individuals with both bodies and souls. This holistic view of ministry changes the way we see individuals and communities. In individuals, we seek to meet both physical and spiritual needs to nourish the body and soul with love and tangible care. In communities, we seek to provide both short term intervention and long term involvement. This week, we get to hear from a panel of our partners who are passionate about holistic ministry. Visit www.necchurch.org/outreach to find a place to serve today.

Every person is made in the Image of God. Every image bearer has dignity, worth, and capacity. Being made in the image of God means you have inherent worth. It also means you have inherent capacity- abilities, ideas, assets, and solutions. In all of our Outreach efforts, we seek to define others by this identity of "image bearer". If we define others by their deficiencies or treat them as passive recipients of someone else’s help, it rejects their dignity as image bearers. "Dignity " means we involve everyone as participants, as equals. If we change our paradigm for understanding poverty from a resources framework to a relational framework, then we will focus on the practice of reconciliation rather than the distribution of resources.
