Two More Baptism Stories (videos)

Unless you attended both services, you missed a baptism on Sunday. So both baptism stories and baptisms are below.

Video & Baptism from Sunday (a video) - Don't Miss This!

On Sunday, we had an amazing story and baptism. If you were at the first service, you saw the story, but not the baptism. So here they are together (from the 2nd service).

I love this story! These stories never get old.

And tomorrow is going to be great too! I am looking forward to starting the new series (a week late). And there are two more baptisms.

Here's the video:

A Few Northridge Videos for Christmas (videos)

It has been a great month already @ Northridge Church! As a review, here are some videos worth watching from this month @ Northridge. Perhaps you want to take a few minutes to enjoy these reminders. Watching all four videos will take just a few minutes:

1. Here is a sample of one of the songs you and your guests will hear and see this Christmas weekend. Send them the link so they can see the video themselves!

 

2. Here is a video we used as a bumper before a sermon for our Advent Conspiracy series. Although the script isn't original with us, Brad made some edits that made it even better!

 

3. Here are two baptisms from this month. The first video is Patrick McDonald and the second is Joe Stevens. Unless you attended both service a couple of weeks ago, you only saw one of these baptisms. Perhaps you will want to watch the one you missed.

 

 

As always, if you receive this via email - click HERE to see the videos. I'm really looking forward to this weekend!

One of my favorite John Piper clips

I have deep admiration and appreciation for John Piper. This clip is one of my favorites - he talks about Richard Dawkins and evolution. If you have 4 minutes - take a look.

Seeing God's Power on Display (video)

Months ago I stumbled across a video of the tsunami in Japan (March 2011). I encourage you to watch this four minute video while remembering God's power on display through creation.

Here are the details of where the video came from:

Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit in Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job. The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the Tsunami. He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by the police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.

 

Some verses to consider:

Here are some verses that come to my mind:

• Psalm 147:8, 16-18 - He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills... He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast? He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
• Psalm 148:7-8 - Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lighting and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding.
• Job 37:6-7 - He says to the snow, "fall on the earth" and to the rain shower, "Be a mighty downpour." So that all men he has made may know his work, he stops every man from his labor.
• Isaiah 45:7 - I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.
• Lamentations 3:38 - Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?

Baby Dedication Videos

At each service last Sunday, we had Parent/Child Dedications. We had a lot of people on stage. In case you missed last week, or wanted to see the video of the service you didn't attend, or if you just wanted to see the videos again - here they are:

Here is the video from the 9:15 service (the first five minutes is Courtney and my talking... to see the parents and kids, go to 5:30 on the video):

 

Here is the video from the 11:00 AM service (the first five minutes is Courtney and my talking and is actually from the first service, but to see the parents and kids in the 2nd service video, go to 5:30 on the video):

 

And I loved the accordian during the song (you won't see it because of the video, but you should hear it). Way to go, Gina!

9/11: Blessings (a song via video)

I think the highlight of last Sunday at Northridge Church (9/11) was the song that Brittany sang. In case you missed it - or wanted to see it again - check this video.  The song starts at 1:30.

9/11: Ten Years Later - (videos from Sunday)

On Sunday, I gave a sermon on viewing 9/11 theologically. This past week we were totally surrounded with reminders of 9/11.  Yet most all of them were not from a Christian worldview. The goal of Sunday was to help us think biblically about 9/11, pain, suffering, and evil.  About half of the sermon was delivered via video from NYC.

I want to give a HUGE "thank you" to one of our volunteer videographers, Joel Witwer, who spent an entire day in NYC with me, and spent countless hours trying to make sense and edit all I said there.  And the opening timeline is his work as well.

In case you missed it - here it is (sermon only).
