Gray Hairs and the Persistence of God Hello Church Family, One of the things I love about Northpoint is the generational diversity we enjoy as a congregation. It thrills me to see so many young families with tiny children sharing life with folks in their seventies, eighties, and nineties. One such 70-something has been a… Continue Reading
10.11.2015 The Mystery of Godliness 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Pastor John Sloan Introduction: That notion that true Christianity boils down to doing (and not doing) certain things has turned plenty away from the faith.

Women and Men (Part 1) 1 Timothy 2:8-10 Pastor John Sloan Introduction: The Bible contains some curious commands. Consider this one in Leviticus 19:19: “Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.” (So much for those polyester pants you’ve been wearing!)
