We Will Love God with All Our Heart & Soul & Mind & Strength

Sermon notes

The mission at Northside Christian Church is to connect people to Christ and one another.

Global outreach strategy is: going & sending, welcoming & mobilizing.

Core values are celebrate in worship, contribute to ministry, connect to a group and commit wholeheartedly

  • Our hearts must be set only on what delights His heart.

  • Our souls must be satisfied only with what pleases Him. 

  • Our minds must be anchored only to His word as the final authority. 

  • Our strength must be spent on what serves Him alone.

What do you have to give the one who has everything?  You’re everything! 

  • Love for Jesus must surpass love for family

  • Love for Jesus must surpass love for self

  • Love for God must surpass the things of this world. 

We do not live by rules but by relationships!

Carey Nieuwhof wrote blog – entitled: Why do we hate each other so much? 5 reasons anger is the new epidemic.  

  1. YOU’RE NATURALLY MORE AGGRESSIVE ONLINE THAN YOU ARE IN PERSON

  2. HATE GENERATES MORE CLICKS THAN LOVE

  3. ANGER CAN GET YOU HEARD, EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY

Mark 12:30-31b Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength….& Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
