  1. Scripting the Flip - Christmas - The Outsider is Now the Insider

    5 DAYS AGO

    Scripting the Flip - Christmas - The Outsider is Now the Insider

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Christmas series in Matthew chapter 2. We all have a backstory. Even villains have backstories that we can sympathize with. So how do we know what's good and what's bad? The Christmas story is full of characters with their own backstories. When we look at the stories of Herod and the wise men, what can we learn from the choices that they made when it comes to Jesus? Through reading their stories, one thing becomes clear: we are all sinners in need of forgiveness.

  2. Scripting the Flip - Christmas - Lowly and Humble

    DEC 8

    Scripting the Flip - Christmas - Lowly and Humble

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a Christmas series. The Christmas story is familiar, but we'll start by reviewing the facts of the story. Through this experience, Mary and Joseph faced incredible challenges—traveling miles, living in uncertainty, and trusting God in the unknown. They held onto faith in His promise: that Jesus would save the world. Christmas calls us to do three things: Hold onto God's promises. Nothing is impossible with Him. Step into the story. Where is God calling you to engage? Embrace joy. God's heart is joyful, and He invites us into it.

  3. Scripting the Flip - Christmas - It's Not About Us

    DEC 1

    Scripting the Flip - Christmas - It's Not About Us

    Worship Director Justin Jackson starts a Christmas series. Christmas isn't really about us - yet, somehow, it is. It's about God, who made it about us through Jesus. The story of Christmas is a daring rescue mission: God so loved the world that He sent His Son to save us, bringing hope, life, and a mission filled with eternal meaning. Let's learn about three incredible gifts Jesus brought us and the hope they offer us today.

  4. Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 9

    NOV 24

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 9

    Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. In the last Beatitude (Matthew 5:10-12), Jesus teaches us to rejoice when persecuted for righteousness' sake. It's a surprising call, but it comes with an incredible promise: the kingdom of heaven. Today, we'll explore how to embrace suffering, welcome it as part of our faith journey, and respond not with bitterness but with joy and steadfastness.

    NOV 17

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 8

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Living in peace is truly something we all long for. But in this teaching, Jesus challenges our idea of what that looks like: Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. While we long for peace, our ideas of living peacefully often still fall short of what Jesus calls us to. Because Jesus entered into a world full of conflict, he has flipped the script on peace not being merely an avoidance of conflict, but something active. What does it mean to actually make peace in our world? Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 17, 2024, at 8:00am.

    NOV 10

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 7

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. A profound longing echoes throughout Scripture—the desire to see God. But what does it mean to truly see Him? To answer this, we begin not in Matthew, but in Exodus, where God's relationship with His people unfolds through moments of faith, failure, and redemption. At one point, Moses asks to see God, but God says he can't see His face and live. But Jesus says something different, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Let's find out how these two seemingly contradictory statements are both true.

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 6

    Worship Director Justin Jackson continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Have you ever been caught doing something wrong? We want to be shown mercy, but, at the same time, we often crave justice for others... to the point that it can become vengeance! But Jesus flips the script by declaring: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." (Matthew 5:7) Jesus challenges us not just to show mercy but to be merciful. It's a call to forgive, to act with compassion, and to reflect the mercy God showed us through the cross. This kind of mercy can break cycles of bitterness and reveal a better way to live—one that brings Heaven to earth. What might it look like in your life to show mercy to someone who doesn't deserve it?

    OCT 27

    Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 5

    Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus makes a statement about obsession. He says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Matthew 5:6). Jesus doesn't say blessed are those who have righteousness. The blessing is in the longing, in the obsession. That feels backward. At the crux of Jesus' statement is the word righteousness. Let's find out how that will bring us satisfaction. But first, we'll start with a testimony from two of our long-term missionary partners in Uganda and how they're seeingpeople hunger and thirst for righteousness.
