Northgate Christian Fellowship

Before stepping into a new year it's always wise to stop, reflect and take note of the lessons we've learned through our experiences of the past year. It is the best way to mark our growth and acknowledge God's goodness as we move forward. "Some Final Thoughts... - Reflections on the Year", this weekend's study, will look at what God has taught us and how we can apply those lessons to the year ahead.

The Christmas story tells of many different visitors who came to see a newborn baby. Different people with different backgrounds and different sets of expectations. But the one thing they all had in common was a desire to find what they were looking for. "What Are You Looking For?", this weekend's study, concludes our Christmas series, "Getting Christmas Right", with a look at becoming better seekers in our desire to follow God.

The central message of the Christmas story is that God, in Jesus, "became flesh and lived among us." As absurd as that might sound to some, it's the assertion of Scripture that Christ came, "that they may have life, and have it to the full." That presents us with the question, "Am I living that type of life, am I experiencing life in its fullest?" "Are You Living?", this weekend's study, continues our Christmas series, "Getting Christmas Right", with a look at the difference between life on our terms and the life that God has promised.

The Christmas Season is filled with light. White lights, colored lights, blinking and running lights decorate the homes, stores and businesses all around us. It's a great tradition that fills the darkest time of the year with joy and wonder. Jesus, we are told, came as a light to this world. And if we are paying attention to him and his teachings we can find hope, guidance and encouragement in him. "Can You See Him?", this weekend's study, continues our "Getting Christmas Right" series with a look at how the light of Christ can penetrate the darkness of our lives.

The Christmas Season is filled with tradition. There are traditional songs, traditional meals, traditional decorations. There are family traditions; "his" family's traditions and "her" family's traditions. And if we're not paying attention we can get so caught up in fulfilling all of the Christmas traditions that we can miss the message. "Are You Listening?"- this weekend's study- begins a new series for the Christmas season: "Getting Christmas Right", with a look at how God speaks to us.
