Through The Fire (Josh Fullmer) | 6/7/2026

Guest Speaker: Josh Fullmer In this North Life Church sermon, "God is with us through the fire," guest speaker Josh Fullmer from Res Life in Big Rapids teaches from Daniel 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. This message reminds listeners that God does not always remove us from hardship, but He promises to be present with us in the middle of the fire. Through the bold faith of three men who declared "but even if He doesn't," believers are challenged to move beyond conditional faith and trust God’s sovereignty even when trials continue.Josh Fullmer also walks through four spiritual "seats" of conforming, condemning, convicting, and Christlike, helping listeners honestly examine where they stand in their walk with God. With the practical TRUST framework, believers are encouraged to talk to God in prayer, read His Word, understand and meditate on Scripture, and stand firm in faith. Welcome to North Life!

The Fulfillment of Pentecost: Restoration and New Creation (Nick Mayo) | 5/24/2026

Guest Speaker: Nick Mayo In this North Life Church Pentecost Sunday sermon, "The Fulfillment of Pentecost: Restoration and New Creation," guest speaker Nick from Grand Rapids explores Pentecost as far more than a spiritual experience. This message presents the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 as the "third act" in the story of Christ, where Jesus restores humanity to communion with God and pours New Creation into His people. Drawing from Genesis, Exodus, Acts, and the early church concept of recapitulation, Nick shows how Christ takes up the brokenness and patterns of the Old Testament and fulfills them in perfection.Through the mighty rushing wind, the reversal of Babel, the contrast between Sinai and Pentecost, and the promise of hearts made new by the Spirit, this sermon reveals how God’s fire moved from resting on a holy mountain to resting upon a holy people.
