  • Are You Reading the Bible Wrong? Why Jesus Must Be the Lens
    Jan 19 2026

    The Bible is not a collection of disconnected stories. It is one unified account pointing to one Savior.

    In this powerful sermon from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin challenges how we read Scripture and reveals why reading the Bible through the wrong lens leads to the wrong message. Culture, politics, morality, self-help, and personal preference all distort God's Word when they replace Christ at the center.

    Through Luke 24, John 5, Genesis, Joshua, Daniel, and Revelation, we discover a life-changing truth: Jesus is present in all of Scripture. From creation to the cross, from the fire to final victory, the Bible makes sense only when Jesus is the lens.

    If you have ever struggled to understand the Bible, felt disconnected from the Old Testament, or wondered where Jesus really fits into Scripture, this message will give you clarity, confidence, and a renewed hunger for God's Word.

    ✨ Keynotes to Reflect With

    ✅ Reading Scripture through the wrong lens leads to confusion, but reading it through Jesus brings clarity and truth.
    ✅ The Bible is one unified account that points to one Savior from Genesis to Revelation.
    ✅ When Jesus becomes the lens, Scripture stops being overwhelming and starts becoming transformational.Start today, not perfectly, but faithfully.

    Read Scripture as if you are listening, because you are. You do not need hours at a time. A few verses read attentively is enough. Let God's Word move from decoration in your home to direction in your life.

  • The Bible Is Not a Book
    Jan 12 2026

    Reading shapes us.

    It changes how we think, how we focus, and how we see the world. But what happens when what we read is not just words on a page, but God Himself speaking?

    In this message from Northeast Christian Church, we explore why the Bible is not just another book, not a collection of opinions, and not good advice. Scripture is God-breathed. It carries His authority, His purpose, and His voice. Written through human authors but sourced entirely from God, the Bible presents one unified story of redemption centered on Jesus Christ.

    This sermon challenges the way we approach Scripture. Instead of treating it like decoration on a shelf, we are invited to read it faithfully, listen attentively, and allow it to shape who we are becoming. When we understand what Scripture truly is, it changes how we read it and how it transforms our lives.

    If you have ever felt unsure where to start, overwhelmed by reading the Bible, or convinced that it has become more furniture than foundation, this message is an invitation to begin again.

    ✨ Keynotes to Reflect With

    ✅ Scripture is God speaking with clarity, authority, and purpose
    ✅ The Bible shapes us spiritually, not just mentally or emotionally
    ✅ Faithful reading begins with listening, not rushing or skimming

    Start today, not perfectly, but faithfully.

    Read Scripture as if you are listening, because you are. You do not need hours at a time. A few verses read attentively is enough. Let God's Word move from decoration in your home to direction in your life.

  • What It Really Means to Move With the Lord
    Jan 5 2026

    What does it actually mean to move with the Lord?

    For Joseph, it meant immediate obedience when God told him to flee to Egypt to protect the life of Jesus. For the apostles, it meant leaving everything behind to follow Christ wherever He led. But what does moving with God look like for us today?

    In this message from Northeast Christian Church, we walk through Matthew 2 and explore how God calls His people to move with Him not just in dramatic moments, but in the everyday decisions of life. Moving with the Lord begins with walking in His Word, building a foundation rooted deeply in Scripture, and allowing God's truth to shape our responses, actions, and priorities.

    This sermon challenges us to go beyond faith in principle and step into faith in practice. When God's Word is stored in our hearts, obedience becomes second nature. We become rooted, prepared, and ready to move with Him whenever He calls.

    As we close out the Christmas season and look ahead to a new year, this message invites us to root ourselves deeply in Scripture so we can confidently move with the Lord in every season of life.

    ✨ Keynotes to Reflect With

    ✅ Moving with the Lord starts by walking in His Word
    ✅ You cannot move confidently with God without knowing His voice
    ✅ A foundation rooted in Scripture makes obedience second nature
    ✅ Faith is formed in daily decisions, not just dramatic moments
    ✅ Being rooted prepares us to move when God calls

    As you prepare for a new year, commit to rooting yourself in Scripture. Let God's Word shape how you think, respond, and move. Build a foundation that allows you to walk confidently with the Lord, just as Joseph and the apostles did.
