He wants us to hear Him; therefore, He speaks to us. What we must ask ourselves is whether or not we sincerely desire to hear God's voice - His invitation to join Him in His work. And if we do belong to Him, that will be our desire. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/stop-look-and-listen http://www.northsidebc.org/media/stop-look-and-listen.mp3 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:47:02 CDT Jeff Lethco Experiencing God experiencing_god,stop_look_and_listen,henry_blackaby,jeff_lethco,god's_work,mission,north_side_baptist_church 36:55 Have you ever been around people who were experiencing God, and you wondered what was wrong with you?

He desires to have an intimate relationship with us, but oftentimes, we live out of bounds in how he says we are to live. He wants us to live in a relationship of obedience to him. He is pursuing us.

God is anything but passive! He is a very active God that is constantly at work.

There are so many people around us that need a relationship with God, and God is constantly opening doors for us. But unless we are intentional about walking through those doors God opens, we will miss out on adding to the Kingdom. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/intentional-relationships http://www.northsidebc.org/media/intentional-relationships.mp3 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:10:05 CDT Jeff Lethco Waiting on the World to Change intentional_relationships,waiting_on_the_world_to_change,jeff_lethco,north_side_bapitst_church,evangelism,zaccheus 34:43 When it comes to changing the world, sometimes we need to become Jesus' hands and feet in practical ways to the people around us. You can change the world in many ways from day to day. Hear the story of what God can do through willing servants.

The most critical spiritual environment is the one in which you live. As we look at these up and coming generations, we must realize that trained church professionals are not the answer to our children's spiritual needs.

If we are to develop a mind of investment, we have to realize that everything belongs to God - even our finances. And if all our finances belong to God, we must make sure that how we spend what he gave us glorifies him. You've heard a bunch what to do with the 10% of your money, but listen to hear what to do with the other 90%. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/the-mind-of-investment http://www.northsidebc.org/media/the-mind-of-investment.mp3 Sun, 04 May 2008 09:38:36 CDT Jeff Lethco Credit or Debit? north_side_baptist_church,jeff_lethco,tithe,tithing,stewardship,finances,money,mind_of_investment,credit_or_debit 32:06 Every financial decision you make is either a credit to your spiritual life or a debit from your spiritual life. Money is one of those areas that cause many headaches in our lives, but God has many commands concerning your finances that actually are meant to free you. The heart of stewardship begins with you realizing that everything you have belongs to God. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/the-heart-of-stewardship http://www.northsidebc.org/media/the-heart-of-stewardship.mp3 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 09:41:42 CDT Jeff Lethco Credit or Debit? credit_or_debit,heart_of_stewardship,jeff_lethco,north_side_baptist_church,money,finances,tithing,tithe,offering 32:39 Concerning Christ's Second Coming, Christians either try to figure out all the details concerning his return or forget about it altogether because it is too difficult to understand.

Does he really have the whole world in his hands? There are times in our lives when it appears as if he is not in control, but Scripture attests that there has never been a moment when God was not in control. As we look at the story of Job, we will find a faith that trusts in God even when our worlds seem to be falling apart. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/in-control http://www.northsidebc.org/media/in-control.mp3 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 11:06:17 CDT Jeff Lethco God's Believe It or Not god's_believe_it_or_not,jeff_lethco,in_control,book_of_job,suffering,sadness._whole_world_in_his_hands,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc 40:04 God's still in the business of changing lives.

Busyness consumes us. We work to get ahead and still feel like we are gasping for air. Does God’s rules on the Sabbath have something to say concerning our ragged state?

Why? Because of all the things that God had done for him in the past. David had experienced his share of the wow factor. But now it was time for him to show his appreciation, his gratitude for all that God had done. And the primary way he would do that would be through keeping his vows to God. David needed no more wows; instead, it was time for him to simply keep his vows to God and to keep them in plain view for others to see. Obviously this was a sign of great maturity and growth in David’s life. It was also a better way to live. This message will challenge the hearers to stop and be mindful of all the wows of their life and to commit themselves to live the rest of their lives on the vow factor instead of the wow factor. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/from-wows-to-vows http://www.northsidebc.org/media/from-vows-to-wows.mp3 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 13:44:10 CDT Jeff Lethco The Wow Factor the_wow_factor,jeff_lethco,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc,message,sermon 34:16 Are you wise with the way you spend your money?

Every moment of every day is an opportunity to worship for the true worshiper. It is an opportunity to live life in a way that expresses God as the ultimate and premier value in life. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/music-style-to-lifestyle http://www.northsidebc.org/media/music-style-to-lifestyle.mp3 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 13:53:36 CDT Travis Agnew Transitions transitions,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc,worship,community,missions 45:54 Realizing that she could never keep her child out of the river, the mother of Moses devised a plan to keep the river out of her child. She built an ark and pitched it with tar to make sure that the life robbing waters of the Nile would stay safely away from her child. This lesson will draw from this story and urge parents (especially Dads on Father’s Day) to make sure that their homes have safeguards against the infiltration of the things of the world. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/securing-the-investment http://www.northsidebc.org/media/securing-the-investment-2.mp3 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 13:54:15 CDT Jeff Lethco Flip That House flip_that_house,family,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc,home,jeff_lethco,travis_agnew 44:18 If you have ever walked into a house that has had the touch of an interior designer, you know what an impact it can have. People are the same way. We are told in Scripture that we should consider how to stimulate, provoke, encourage one another. The home should be a place where spiritual conversations happen naturally and intentionally. Paul tells us in Ephesians to speak to each other with hymns and spiritual songs. If there is anyplace that intentional discipleship should be taking place, it’s within the context of the Christian home. Listen to Jeff and his father, Jerry, concerning how he designed the interior of Jeff's childhood home. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/designing-the-interior http://www.northsidebc.org/media/designing-the-interior-2.mp3 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 13:55:27 CDT Jeff Lethco Flip That House travis_agnew,jeff_lethco,home,sc,greenwood,north_side_baptist_church,family,flip_that_house 44:18 Who hasn’t been hurt by a family member? Many of our wounds have left deep scars; scars that are there because of the selfishness of another family member. But if we cannot learn to forgive and move on, our past will prevent us from ever reaching our destiny or our “model.” Past hurts can become walls that separate us from one another and destine us to a life of isolation and bitterness. Like faulty wiring, an unforgiving heart can destroy a home. This lesson will deal with the biblical understanding of forgiveness and how it applies to all of our family relationships. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/tearing-down-walls http://www.northsidebc.org/media/tearing-down-walls.mp3 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:56:00 CDT Travis Agnew Flip That House flip_that_house,family,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc,home,jeff_lethco,travis_agnew 36:07 Open floor plans are the fad in today’s home. Gone are the “boxy” styles that restricted flow and openness in one’s living environment. Today people prefer a floor plan that allows for openness and community. But community and acceptance in a home has little to do with the floor plan and everything to do with communication. This lesson will focus on the art of listening. The home should be a place where people are heard. How can we love those we do not truly know? And how can we know those we never listen to? Can a husband live with his wife in an understanding way if he doesn’t learn to listen to her? Can children honor parents that they haven’t learned to “listen” to? We listen to learn. We learn to love. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/creating-an-open-floor-plan http://www.northsidebc.org/media/create-flip-that-house-3-of-5.mp3 Sun, 27 May 2007 13:57:06 CDT Jeff Lethco Flip That House flip_that_house,north_side_baptist_church,family,greenwood,sc 36:12 Faulty wiring in a house can burn it down overnight! So can faulty wiring in a family. Unfortunately, we all come into this world with faulty wiring. We are born being “hard wired” to focus on ourselves. We think it is all about us; our time, our needs, our plans, our dreams, our everything! While most newly weds think they have found the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, few think they have found the person they want to pour themselves into for the rest of their life. That’s a big difference. The single most destructive force in any relationship is selfishness. Yet Jesus taught us that the only way to find life is to loose ours. If Jesus is going to be the center of our homes, then we must decrease so that He can increase. http://www.northsidebc.org/sermon/inspecting-the-wiring http://www.northsidebc.org/media/inspecting-the-writing.mp3 Sun, 20 May 2007 13:57:35 CDT Jeff Lethco Flip That House flip_that_house,family,north_side_baptist_church,greenwood,sc,jeff_lethco 33:24 The model home is one in which Jesus Christ is truly the center of all that is done. The model home is one where all family relationships are working together to produce a lifestyle of worshiping God, building up one another in the Lord, and impacting the world with the gospel. While many people refer to the church facilities as “God’s House”, we will teach that a greater understanding of “God’s House” is the Christian home.
