Perserverance Matters

Sermon on 5/31/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp How can you tell the difference between real faith and a spiritual counterfeit? In this sermon, Pastor Todd dives deep into 1 John 2:18-27 to explain the critical biblical concept of the perseverance of the saints and how God ensures His children remain in the fold until the very end. Using the analogy of Monopoly money versus real cash, we explore how the Apostle John warns the early church at Ephesus about false teachers, the "spirit of antichrist," and the dangers of spiritual deception. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, wondered if you can lose your salvation, or struggled to discern truth from cultural lies, this message provides powerful assurance of God's unchanging grip on your life. Key takeaways from this message: Identifying the Enemy: Why recognizing false teachings and philosophies (like Docetism) is crucial for your spiritual perseverance.Clinging to the Truth: Understanding that the gospel basics—the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)—are our ultimate anchor.The Anointing of the Holy Spirit: How the indwelling Holy Spirit serves as every believer's ultimate teacher, helping us discern truth from infallible scripture.#1John #ExpositoryPreaching #PerseveranceOfTheSaints #BibleStudy #ChristianApologetics #HolySpirit #GospelOfJesus #ChurchSermon #BiblicalTruth #SpiritualDiscernment Music used with Permission through our CCLI Copyright License Number #54024 and Streaming License Number #20133927 Find out more about Northwoods Church at www.nwctally.com

Growing Up

Sermon on 5/24/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp Where are you currently at on your spiritual journey? In this powerful sermon, we dive deep into the Epistle of First John (1 John 2:12-17) to explore the distinct stages of spiritual growth and maturity in the Christian faith. Apostle John outlines three distinct phases of spiritual life: little children (new believers), young men (growing Christians), and fathers (mature believers). Unlike endurance sports where we chase a PR (personal record) or compare ourselves to others, Christian maturity isn’t about competition. It is about understanding where you stand, anchoring yourself in the Word of God, and learning to love God rather than the temporary value system of this world. Whether you are a new Christian celebrating the complete forgiveness of your sins, a growing believer in the midst of intense spiritual warfare, or a mature Christian resting in God's lifelong faithfulness, this message will challenge you to evaluate your heart. Watch to discover how to break free from the "desires of the flesh, desires of the eyes, and the pride of life," and start investing your time in what truly lasts forever. #FirstJohn #1John2 #Sermon #SpiritualMaturity #BibleStudy #ChristianGrowth #FaithfulnessOfGod #WordOfGod #DoNotLoveTheWorld #ChristianLiving #NewChristian #FaithJourney #BiblePreaching Music used with Permission through our CCLI Copyright License Number #54024 and Streaming License Number #20133927 Find out more about Northwoods Church at www.nwctally.com

How Will I Know

Sermon on 5/17/26 by Pastor Todd Sapp How can you be absolutely sure of your salvation? In a world filled with confusion about faith, the Apostle John gives us clear, practical metrics to evaluate our walk with Christ. In this sermon, we dive into 1 John 2:3–11 to uncover the three vital questions every Christian should ask themselves for true biblical assurance. Drawing powerful historical context from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s stand against the Nazi regime at the Finkenwalde Seminary, we explore the stark dangers of "cheap grace" (grace without discipleship) versus the legalistic trap of a "debtor’s ethic" (trying to earn God's unmeritable favor). True biblical grace isn't earned, but it always transforms. If you have ever struggled with doubt or wondered what authentic faith looks like in daily actions, this message will give you the clarity and scriptural assurance you need. #1John #AssuranceOfSalvation #DietrichBonhoeffer #CheapGrace #ChristianDiscipleship #CharlesSpurgeon #SpiritualGrowth #BiblicalTeaching #Sermon #FaithAlone #ExpositoryPreaching #ChristianWalk #WalkingInTheLight Music used with Permission through our CCLI Copyright License Number #54024 and Streaming License Number #20133927 Find out more about Northwoods Church at www.nwctally.com

Light Exposed Grace Restored

Sermon on 5/10/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp What does it mean to walk in the light? In this powerful sermon based on 1 John 1:5–2:2, we dive deep into the foundational truth that God is light, and in Him, there is no darkness at all. Discover how God’s holiness exposes our sin—not to condemn us, but to sanitize, cleanse, and restore our relationship with Him and others. We break down the two tempting lies we often tell ourselves about sin, how to avoid the trap of self-justification, and what it truly means to experience the cleansing power of Jesus Christ as our advocate and propitiation. Whether you are battling a secret habit, navigating a broken relationship, or looking for spiritual renewal, this message will encourage you that while we aren’t sinless, through the Holy Spirit, we can sin less. A special word of encouragement is also included for the graduating Class of 2026 as they transition into the next chapter of life and faith. #FirstJohn #ChristianSermon #GodIsLight #WalkingInTheLight #ForgivenessOfSins #ClassOf2026 #BibleStudy #ExpositoryPreaching #FaithfulAndJust #JesusOurAdvocate Music used with Permission through our CCLI Copyright License Number #54024 and Streaming License Number #20133927 Find out more about Northwoods Church at www.nwctally.com

Complete Joy

Sermon on5/3/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp Sermon on5/3/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp Is it possible to live with abundant, overflowing joy regardless of your circumstances? In this opening message of our new series through the Letters of John, we dive into 1 John 1:1-4 to discover the foundation of true happiness. The Apostle John didn’t write these letters just so we could "get through" life; he wrote them so that our joy may be complete. Drawing from his firsthand experience as an eyewitness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, John combats the lies of his day with a powerful truth: Joy is not a theory—it is found in a person. In this video, you will learn: The Foundation of Joy: Why knowing Jesus as a physical, historical reality changes everything.The Role of a Witness: How experiencing the Gospel firsthand qualifies you to proclaim it.The Power of Fellowship: Why we were created for deep connection with God the Father, His Son, and the Church.The "Small Jesus" Trap: How we often shrink Jesus down to fit our comfort zones and how to see Him in His completeness.Walking with Jesus: How Jesus’ humanity allows Him to relate to your loneliness, celebrations, and even your moments of being misunderstood.#1John #BibleStudy #ChristianJoy #GospelOfJohn #WalkingInTruth #JesusChrist #CompleteJoy #BiblicalTeaching #Fellowship #NewTestament Music used with Permission through our CCLI Copyright License Number #54024 and Streaming License Number #20133927 Find out more about Northwoods Church at www.nwctally.com
