Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible while celebrating Easter. When Mary Magdalene visits the tomb, she's completely devastated because the person who redeemed her and transformed her life is dead. What's worse, she thinks someone stole Jesus' body, so she can't even grieve properly! In this moment, Jesus meets Mary and speaks his first words since rising from the dead. And instead of making a bold statement, he asks a question. It's a beautiful moment that each of us can experience. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message wi ..read more

Associate Pastor Ron King is continuing a series on women of the Bible. And this is part two about Hannah. Hanna's song had a significant influence on how others praised God. That's because Hannah's response to having a child after years of infertility: delights in the Lord recognizes that nothing compares to the Lord proclaims that everything good comes from the Lord, and that we're all accountable before God. It's a beautiful and heartfelt song. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 24, 2023, at 9:30am. You can find us ..read more

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible. Hannah struggled for years with infertility. There was lots of hurt and dysfunction for Hannah, her husband, Elkanah, and even his second wife, Peninnah. It's a messy and sad situation. But once Hannah surrenders what's most important to her, that's when God does something amazing. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 17 ..read more

Worship Director Justin Jackson is continuing a series on women of the Bible. This is part 2 about Deborah, where we look at four themes from her song after the victory against Jabin, the king of Canaan. In this song, Deborah rightly proclaims that God is the hero of their battle. Like Deborah, God unites us and calls us to battle against evil. And even though the odds may sometimes seem impossible, God will lead us to victory against cruelty and cowardice. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. T ..read more

Worship Director Justin Jackson is continuing a series on women of the Bible. What does it mean to be courageous? Deborah was a prophetess and judge of Israel and displayed courage while judging and in her actions against the Canaanites.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible. This is part 2 about Miriam, where we hear the first song recorded in scripture where Moses and Miriam sing praise to God for delivering them from the hands of Pharaoh's army. It's the first time in their entire lives that they experience true relief and freedom from oppression. And the same is true for us once Jesus saves us from our sins. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. Thank you for listening to this message from Nort ..read more

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is continuing a series on women of the Bible. Many of us have heard how God worked through the Old Testament leader Moses. But perhaps, not many of us remember how God worked through his sister as well. Miriam first stepped up when she was around 8 years old and then again 80 years later. There are many wonderful lessons to follow, and one critical warning from the end of her life. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest ..read more

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen is starting a series on women of the Bible. Let's be honest: the Bible can feel male-dominated. It's written by men, and it's mostly about men. Plus, Jesus was a man, and all the apostles were men. Yet, we know that we all have a place and that God loves both men and women. So, Pastor Josh will answer six questions about one of the most debated issues in Christian scholarship in the past few decades. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. Thank you for listening to this mess ..read more

Associate Pastor Ron King is concluding a series on prayer as a spiritual discipline. There are two essential settings in your prayer life: in a community with other believers and alone in solitude. But being alone in prayer can be challenging. It can be hard to slow down, ignore the noise of daily life, let go of never-ending to-do lists, and listen to God. So, instead of settling for a "prayer light" life, let's talk about growing in our prayer life. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging. Thank you f ..read more

Youth Pastor Gary Jones is continuing a series on prayer as a spiritual discipline. Have you ever felt like your prayer life could use some work? Many of us find it hard to pray, or feel stagnate, because we don't know what to say to God. As we dive into a Psalm, it'll show that God wants our hearts, and He's inviting you to respond to Him in prayer. At the end of the message, you'll have an extended time to respond. So take your time, wherever you are, and spend that time in prayer. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope yo ..read more
