WDJG: The Wilderness

Northstar Church

WDJG: The Wilderness

March 17, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Matthew 4:1–11

In this next installment in our "Where Did Jesus Go?" series, Jeff talks about Jesus' temptation by Satan in the wilderness. What can we learn from the fact that Jesus was tempted in the first place, and how he responded? Diving deep into Jesus' temptation gives us hope for our own lives and temptations, and a fresh appreciation for Jesus' work while he was here on earth.

WDJG: Ascension

April 7, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Matthew 28:16–20, Acts 1:4–11, Luke 24:48–49

In this conclusion to our WDJG series, Jeff talks about Jesus' ascension to heaven, and what he charged his disciples to do as he left. We see that Jesus has now called us into mission with him, continuing to do what he did while he was physically here on the earth.

WDJG: Easter

March 31, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Luke 24:36–49

Easter reminds us that the wait is over, Jesus is alive and God's plan of redemption has been fully realized in Jesus. On the first Easter, Jesus' disciples thought all this was too good to be true, they were still living in fear and doubt. On Easter Sunday, Pastor Jeff reminds us to live as Easter Christians, free from doubt and fear because of what Jesus has accomplished for us.

WDJG: The Cross

March 29, 2024 • Jeff Noble • John 19:15–30

Good Friday feels like a mistake. Jesus dies, and hope seems to die with him. Throughout our WDJG series, we have returned to four main principles: Where Jesus went, he went with purpose and in obedience, and there was an appointment with someone and a response. The cross is no exception to these principles, even if it may feel like it. Jesus even went to the grave with purpose, to accomplish victory over sin and death once and for all.
