I Am Saintly

  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches us to claim, “I Am Saintly!” 

To be saintly means to resemble a saint; ie: to live and lead a holy life. It often describes people who exhibit virtue, goodness, and a life dedicated to God. Saintly behavior is characterized by holiness, love and compassion, reflecting a commitment to living a life that aligns with God’s will and ways, and a walk with Christ Jesus.

Come and make sure that you are one with God, holy, and will one day be called a saint, when you pass from this earth!

We will remember the saints at NUMC who have passed away since the end of October, 2024, lighting a candle in their honor, reading their name, and ringing a bell. If you have had a loved one pass in the last year, please let us know. We would love to name them as one of the saints!

Our readings for the day are from: Romans 1:7;  Ephesians 3:14-21; & Psalm 16:1-3.

Know that you are forgiven and always welcome here, just as you are, saint or sinner!

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches on what it means to declare for yourself, “I Am Humble.” 

In Christianity, humility is a virtue that is deeply rooted in biblical teachings. It signifies an attitude of submission and recognition of one's limitations in light of God's greatness. It means recognizing one's limitations, acknowledging God's greatness, and serving others with a spirit of meekness and love.

What difference can you humbly make in the life of another?

Our readings for the day are from: Proverbs 15:33, 11:2, 22:4; Micah 6:8; Luke 18:9-14; Colossians 3:12-13; & James 3:13 & 4:6-10

Come and find Jesus for your life! Know that He walks with you on this journey!

I Am God's Temple

  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches that we give our life to Christ we can declare "I Am God’s Temple!”

When "our bodies are a temple of God," they are set apart as sacred spaces where the Holy Spirit dwells. Because we are God’s, we are called to honor God through our physical existence.

Understanding our bodies as temples of God invites us to live with intentionality and purpose. It calls us to honor God through our spiritual practices and through our physical actions and choices. By recognizing the sacredness of our bodies, we can cultivate a lifestyle that reflects our commitment to God and His presence within us. This perspective encourages us to treat ourselves and others with dignity and respect, acknowledging the divine purpose within our physical existence.

Are you treating your body like the Temple of God that it is?

Our readings for the day will be from: John 2:21 & 3:16; Romans 12:1 & 14:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Acts 17:2; and Ephesians 2:22

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford leads us in the final Sunday of the Church’s liturgical year. Thanksgiving Sunday, also known as Christ the King Sunday, is a significant observance in the Christian calendar. It serves as a reminder of the Reign of Christ and the authorities of the church, encouraging believers to give thanks for the gift of the church and the fellowship of the body of Christ.

It invites Christians to consider how to celebrate the abundance of God while also acknowledging the challenges of distribution and inequality within the community.

We will Celebrate Christ as the King of our lives and the many blessings that He offers! We will also Say thanks to Him for life, love, and redemption!

Come and find Jesus for your life! Thank Him for so many blessings!

I Am Trusting

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches us to declare that, “I Am Trusting.”

Trusting God means placing your confidence in His plans and purposes, even when circumstances seem uncertain.

The Bible emphasizes that God is always in control and has a perfect plan for each of us. This trust is not just a passive belief but an active choice to rely on God's promises and character, leading to spiritual wholeness, a restored relationship with God, and blessed Kingdom work.

Scriptures for the day will be: Proverbs 3:5-6, 29:25; Psalm 9:10, 12:2, 26:3-4, 28:7, 32:10, 37:4-6, 56:3-4, 62:7-8, 91:1-2, 112:6-7; John 14:1-3; Romans 8:28-29, 15:13; 1 John 5:14-15.
