  1. Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 2

    1 DAY AGO

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 2

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus starts the Sermon on the Mount by saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." In this seemingly simple statement, Jesus challenges us to rethink what it means to be blessed. It's not just about feeling blessed with our abundance or when we receive help. There's a third type of blessing that's extremely counter to today's culture, which Josh shares.

  2. Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 1

    SEP 29

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 1

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen kicks off a series on the Sermon on the Mount. In this first part of the Beatitudes, we explore how Jesus introduces a radically different way of life, calling us to "repent"—to change our thinking. Against a backdrop of foreign occupation and religious oppression, Jesus' message challenges his listeners' instincts and the status quo. In today's political and religious climate, ask yourself if you believe His authority, and if so, what is God inviting you to repent of?

    SEP 22

    Scripting the Flip - Vision Series - Part 3

    Worship Director Justin Jackson concludes a vision series where we explore the question, "What is a Christian?" In John 15, Jesus teaches us that abiding in Him, bearing good fruit, and genuinely loving others is the defining mark of a true follower. We can't just claim faith; our actions, or "fruits," must reflect our beliefs. And the best action we can take is to love others by putting them first. Ultimately, being a Christian is about making Jesus our home, living with love, and serving others daily.

    SEP 15

    Scripting the Flip - Vision Series - Part 2

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a vision series where we explore the question, "What is a Christian?" Being a disciple means sacrifice, not just in words, but in how we live. Jesus invites us to embrace that identity fully, but it requires something deeper than just attending church. In Luke 14, He calls us to count the cost—to give up everything, including our own desires, and follow Him daily. Are you truly willing to let go of what holds you back and give everything to Jesus? Today, we have the chance to start fresh, but the question remains: Are you all in?

    Scripting the Flip - Vision Series - Part 1

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen starts a new vision series. We often hear the word "Christian," but what does it truly mean? Like many words, it carries different connotations, often shaped by culture, history, or misconceptions. The world may have redefined this term, but what did Jesus say? To be a Christian starts with one profound truth: loving Him more than anything else. Let's explore what that looks like. Also, to conclude our "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with a montage of all the testimonies from the previous year. We hope you find it encouraging.

  6. Something To Say! - The Writings of Peter - Part 9

    SEP 1

    Something To Say! - The Writings of Peter - Part 9

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen concludes a series on the writings of Peter. In Peter's writings, we see a man who experienced intense persecution but remained steadfast. Peter's message is clear: despite trials and tensions—from outside and within the church—our hope is not rooted in this world. Peter urges us to stand firm in God's true grace and to keep growing in our faith. 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 September 1, 2024, at 10:15am.

    Something To Say! - The Writings of Peter - Part 8

    Pastoral Intern Michael Allen continues a series on the writings of Peter. Peter reminds believers—amid scoffers—to remember God's patience and promise of a new creation in which He will end evil forever and make all things new! While we wait for Christ's return, our call is to follow Jesus, encourage others, and hold onto the hope of a new heaven and earth where righteousness dwells. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging.

    AUG 18

    Something To Say! - The Writings of Peter - Part 7

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the writings of Peter. 2 Peter 2 has been called a "dark corner" of the New Testament. Knowing his time was short, Peter boldly warns us against false prophets and the consequences of denying Christ. His main concern isn't outside culture, but within the church and our own hearts. This is a call to examine our hearts, question our influences, and rediscover the true power of Christ in our lives. Also, as part of the "Something To Say!" series, we'll start the message with someone's testimony. We hope you find it encouraging.
