2020.09.13 - Drew Karschner - "Which Brother Are You?" When reading the story about the two brothers in Luke 15, most of us focus our attention on the rebellious son who spends his inheritance and returns home empty-handed, rather than considering the self-righteous son who thinks he is better than his brother. When we look closely at the lives of these two brothers, which one can you most identify with? Luke 15

2018.04.01 - Drew Karschner- "Stronger Stuff" Part 3 of the "Overflow" series Sometimes in life you run into a problem or circumstance that is more than you can handle on your own. You used all of your strength and it wasn’t enough. You gave it all you had. The truth is, you need someone or something stronger. With the greatest act of generosity, God gave us His Son and through His death and resurrection we have access to much stronger stuff. Luke 24:1-6

This Is How We Do - The Approach

Make sure to bring some 3x5 cards to group with you this week for group members to write down a growth goal for the trimester. 

2018.01.21 - Drew Karschner - "This Is How We Do - The Approach" A part of the "Come On In" series. Many organizations hold tightly to “why” and “how” they do things, but what really separates one organization from another is the approach they take to accomplish their mission. There are a lot of great churches in America but the way Northridge Church approaches ministry is pretty unique and it's what makes us Northridge. Wondering why? Well, “Come on in” and find out.
