Northside Church - Sydney

How can you live a life of power so circumstances and events and troubles don’t master you, but rather you master them? Everybody wants to live that kind of life. The Bible calls that a life of faith. In this new series we'll look at the key principles as to how it could work itself out in your life.

What is Northside currently doing in the city of Sydney? Join us as we hear from panelists currently involved in our local Beyond Northside Partnerships - Glebe BBQs and Caring Beyond.

When it comes to serving others, it's important to see the bigger picture. It's important to be clear on your unique part of it. How then do you put the two together? What needs to happen to move from "full-up" to "freed-up" for service?

Mosaics are one of the most fascinating forms of artwork. Each piece is vastly different, yet crucial to completing the bigger picture. The community of God (the Church) works the same way. The truth: there is a bigger picture. The question: what unique part will you play in it? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Romans 12: 1-8 (TNIV)

There is a new trend hitting the streets of Sydney. ActiveWear. The new fashion where it is cool to wear gym clothes into all contexts, even though you have never been to the gym. Where "looking like" has taken over actually "being like". How do Christians ensure they don't "ActiveWear" their faith? Reading: James 1:2-5 (TNIV)

Many people think peace can only happen in the absence of crisis. How does Christianity give you the resources for peace in spite of the crisis? Reading: John 14:26-27 (TNIV)

The message of Christmas is Jesus came to bring people a personal peace. Yet, it may not be what you think. It's a combative peace. It's actually a peace that can only follow personal crisis. If people have a problem with Jesus, then that's the perfect place to start. How does that work? Reading: Luke 2:25-35 (TNIV)

How do you find “Peace on Earth” at Christmas time with so much conflict in the world, our relationships and everyday lives? Speker: Sam Haddon Reading: Isaiah 8:21-9:1-2,6 (TNIV)

Join us for an evening of celebration at Northside with guests Jay Bacik, Tim Foot, Graham Agnew and the Northside family.

Join us as we hear from someone sitting in each of the Four Chairs (the four chairs of Christian life) and what that means for them.

The fourth call Jesus makes is the one he extends to fulfill his vision. A world being impacted by fully equipped followers to instinctively overflow with His life and power. What would it look like if you lived life like this in a community of those doing the same? Reading: John 15:1-17 (TNIV) Speaker: Sam Haddon

The third call Jesus made was "Come, let's go fishing for people". There comes a point in the Christian life where Jesus calls his follower to no longer be consumers of His ministry but providers. What's required at this level, and how do you get there? Reading: Matthew 4:18-22 (TNIV)

The second call Jesus made was "Come and Follow". What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus and what core life priorities does Jesus model? Reading: John 1:43-51 (TNIV)

Follow us on Facebook (Northside Women) for updates and more!

The first call Jesus made was simply 'Come and See" who I am. What happens when people discover that the first step to a transformed life is not obligation to a religion, but observation of the life of Jesus? Reading: John 1:35-42 (TNIV)

4 Calls is about discovering what Jesus did to mobilise a movement that would change the world. What if the strategy Jesus used, is the strategy that still changes the world today? What if the invitation He extended back then is the call He is extending to you today? In this new series we’ll explore the 4 stages of the Christian life, that transforms ordinary people into world influencers. Reading: John 1.46-51, Acts 1.6-11 (TNIV) Speaker: Sam Haddon

If resilience can be learnt, what are the signs it's a core characteristic of our lives? Reading: Hebrews 12:1-12 (TNIV) Speaker: Sam Haddon

The good news about resilience is it's not a talent or a character trait…it's a process. It’s learnable. How then do you develop it, and what resources are available to us? 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 (TNIV) Speaker: Sam Haddon

How do Christians stop treating those around them as “evangelism cases”? To do so is to dehumanise people.How do we live as “Fireflies”…uncovering the hope in our hearts, whilst genuinely loving those around us who are different from us? Bible Reading: Genesis 50:15-21(NIV)

How can we share who we are, our deep faith beliefs, but in such a way that’s not obnoxious nor divisive, instead is respectful and promotes peace? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: FIREFLIES - PART II Bible Reading: Exodus 3.1-14 (NIV)

You’re not going to be able to be open about your faith if you can’t talk about God and his existence. How do you go about that without getting into a shouting match that goes like, “God does exist.” “No, God doesn’t exist”? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: FIREFLIES - PART II Reading: Romans 1:16-21 (NIV)

We finished our earlier Fireflies series asking “What could it look like if Christians lived out their faith visibly, without hiding it from those around them?” To uncover your faith doesn’t mean to be obnoxious or always injecting Jesus into every conversation. On the other hand,, it means we shouldn’t hide who we are. In the second part of this Fireflies series, we’ll now ask “how do we find that balance?”. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: FIREFLIES - PART II Reading: John 4:27-42 (NIV)

Today the word ‘love’ is often watered down or weakened to meet the worlds standards. But God calls us to love one another as love comes from God. Our love is meant to reveal to the world Christ’s love for us. Does our love for one another prove to the world that we are followers of Christ? Speaker: Jessie Skelly Series: Counter Cultural Love Reading: 1 John 4:7-12 (NIV)

GUEST SPEAKER: Greer Dokmanovic Grace and Growth “I am enough” AND “I can be better” We live in a world that screams at us to be faster, bigger, better, brighter, newer. What happens when we get drawn into that way of living? How can an attitude of grace change how we understand ourselves, our relationships and the world around us? Guest Speaker: Greer Dokmanovic Series: Grace and Growth Reading: Ephesians 2:4-10 (NIV)

Many people can’t stand narrow-minded Christians. Yet, Jesus seems to say to Christians, “narrow-mindedness” is the one thing that will stop them from becoming one. How does that work? What does He have to say? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: #TRENDING: What Jesus has to say on the issues of today... Reading: Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

Speaker: Sam Haddon SerieS: #TRENDING: What Jesus has to say on the issue of today… REading: Matthew 6:19-34 (NIV) Are wealthy people bad for being wealthy? Us money inherently evil? Is following Jesus a call to poverty? Jesus' approach to money is far more nuanced than many realise but in the end its mastery is quite simple. What dies He have to say?

Jesus wasn’t a prude. He spoke about sex and sexuality often. The surprising thing is, Jesus seems to have a broader and more appealing view on sexuality than many might think. What does he have to say? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: #TRENDING: What Jesus has to say on the issues of today... Reading: Matthew 5:27-30 (NIV)

They seem to be the hot topics in society at the moment. They’re trending. Topics like the relevance of the Bible, Sex, Money and narrow-minded Christians. Does it surprise you to to realise Jesus spoke directly into these things 2000 years ago? What does He have to say to people today? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: #TRENDING: What Jesus has to say on the issues of today... Reading: Matthew 5:17-20(NIV)

The Divine Wrestle - Panel Discussion Join us for an interactive service of discussion on the recent sermon series “The Divine Wrestle: Praying Your Emotions”. We will hear from a range of Northsiders on the insights they have gained from the series.

The Divine Wrestle// Praying Your Emotions: Doubts The book of the Bible called the Psalms shows us the reality of the human emotions. Here’s a person filled with doubts about God and about faith. That shouldn’t be in the Bible right? Doubts masquerade as intellectual issues but it’s actually a condition of the soul. What do we do with them then? Bible Reading: Psalm 73:1–3; 12–26 (NIV)

This teaching series is showing us the Bible has a unique and real way of dealing with our deepest emotions. What do we learn about fear and how to handle it? Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: The Divine Wrestle Bible Reading: Psalm 3:1-8 (NIV)

What has the Bible got to do with the raw emotions of life like sadness, fear and doubt? Isn’t it just full of rules and instruction? In this new series we will see that a section of the Bible called the Psalms provide a vastly different way to deal with them than the rest of the world. The Christian doesn’t stuff their emotions, nor are they controlled by them. Instead they pray them to God through what we are calling “The Divine Wrestle”. Speaker: Sam Haddon Series: The Divine Wrestle Bible Reading: Psalm 39:12–13; 126:1–6 (NIV)
