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

Learning Contentment

Sermon on 4/26/2026 by Dr. Nicolas Ellen How do you find sufficient satisfaction in your soul when life feels upside down? In this powerful message, we dive into Philippians 4:10-14 to uncover what the Apostle Paul meant when he said he "learned to be content" in every situation. Whether you are dealing with financial lack, difficult relationships, or health trials, discover how to detach your well-being from your circumstances and anchor it in Jesus Christ. Stop being "needy or greedy" and start living by faith. 📖 Key Takeaways from this Message: * The Definition of Contentment: Sufficient satisfaction within the heart through fellowship with Christ, apart from external people and circumstances. * Adjusting Desires: The secret to peace is learning to match your expectations to your current condition. * The "Circle of Control": Why focusing on what you can’t change makes you irresponsible with what you can. * Philippians 4:13 in Context: Understanding that "I can do all things" refers specifically to enduring both lack and abundance through Christ’s strength.  #ChristianSermon #Contentment #Philippians413 #PeaceOfGod #FaithOverFear #BiblicalTeaching #FindingPeace #OvercomingWorry  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
