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.

✅ 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.

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.

✅ 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 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.

✅ 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.

Christmas is not the story of God stopping by for a holiday visit. It is the historic moment when God moved in permanently.

In this Christmas Eve message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks through John 1 to reveal the heart of the gospel: God did not stay distant, silent, or hidden. He stepped into our mess and made His dwelling among us.

We spend so much of our lives cleaning up appearances, hiding the broken parts, and hoping no one looks too closely. But Jesus didn't come as a guest who expects perfection. He came knowing the mess, the noise, the sin, and the chaos — and He stayed anyway.

This message reminds us that Christmas isn't about us getting everything right. It's about God showing up with grace and truth, bringing light into the darkness, and offering life where there was once only weariness.

If you feel overwhelmed, unprepared, or far from perfect this Christmas, this sermon is an invitation to rest. God already moved in — and He brought grace with Him.

✅ Christmas is not God visiting temporarily — it is God moving in permanently.
✅ Jesus did not come because we were clean, ready, or perfect — He came because we weren't.
✅ The light of Christ doesn't shout from the darkness — it steps into it and transforms everything.

Christmas is full of expectations — perfect moments, perfect settings, perfect timing. But when we look closely at the first Christmas, nothing went according to human expectations.

In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks through Luke 1 and 2 to reveal a powerful truth: God's power does not need perfect conditions to do perfect work. The Messiah arrived in the wrong place, through the wrong person, in the wrong setting, and at the wrong time — at least by human standards.

Bethlehem was insignificant. Mary was young and overlooked. The setting was crowded and messy. The timing was stressful and inconvenient. Yet God chose all of it on purpose to show us that nothing is too small, too broken, or too chaotic for Him to use.

If you've ever felt like your life was "too wrong" for God to work through — this message is for you. Christmas is the announcement that God enters the unexpected, redeems the overlooked, and shows His power right in the middle of our mess.

✅ God's power does not need perfect conditions — He works through the unexpected and overlooked.
✅ The wrong place, wrong person, wrong setting, and wrong timing still reveal God's perfect plan.
✅ If God could use all the "wrongs" of the first Christmas, He can use the broken places in your life too.

Silence can feel strange, uncomfortable, even scary. Twenty seconds of quiet in a room can make us twitch — so imagine 400 years. That's how long God did not speak between the final words of Malachi and the birth of Jesus. No prophets. No visions. No burning bush. No miracles. Nothing but silence.

In this message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks through Galatians 3 and 4 to reveal a powerful truth: God may be silent, but He is never absent. The 400 years of silence were not abandoned years — they were preparation years. And at the exact right moment, the "fullness of time," God broke the silence with the cry of a baby in Bethlehem.

This sermon dives into identity, adoption, inheritance, and the life-changing truth that Christmas is not just a story — it is God's perfectly timed rescue mission for His children. If your life feels quiet, paused, or painfully still, this message will help you trust the God who works in silence and shows up right on time.

✅ God may be silent, but He is never absent — Christmas proves that.
✅ Your identity as God's child is secure, clothed in Christ, and stronger than every label.
✅ The silence you're living in is not empty — God is preparing something in His perfect timing.

Nobody likes to wait. Not for answers, not for breakthroughs, not for God. But what if your waiting isn't a waste… but an act of worship?

In this powerful sermon from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin walks us through Psalm 13 "Cave David" and the raw, honest struggle of feeling forgotten by God. Then he brings us forward to Psalm 37 "King David" and shows how waiting shapes faith, produces wisdom, and deepens trust in God's timing.

If you are in a season where life feels dark, delayed, or confusing, this message will bring clarity, comfort, and direction. Waiting may feel empty, but God does His greatest shaping work in the places we least want to stay.

Learn why:
• Waiting is worship, not wasted time
• God forms courage and wisdom in the "cave seasons"
• Faith grows most when God seems silent
• Your waiting is preparing you for what's coming next

Whether you're waiting for breakthrough, healing, answers, or direction — this message reminds you that God is still moving, still working, and still faithful.

✅ Waiting on God is not a waste — it is worship that realigns your heart.
✅ Cave seasons shape today's faith into tomorrow's wisdom.
✅ Be still, be patient, and don't panic — God works even when you can't see Him.
✅ Keep worshiping in the silence; your waiting is forming something eternal.
✅ Don't quit in the cave — the story continues beyond what you can see.

Time shapes every moment of our lives, but God is not bound by it. In this powerful sermon from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin unpacks Philippians 2:6–8 and reveals the breathtaking truth that Jesus — the eternal God — stepped out of timelessness and into our world for one purpose: to save us.

You'll discover why Christ willingly downgraded from glory to humanity, how His humility becomes our model, and why your limited time on earth is your greatest opportunity to live with purpose, service, and love.

If you've ever wondered how to use your time in a way that honors God, this message will challenge, inspire, and reorient your heart toward Christlike humility.

✅ Jesus stepped out of eternity and allowed time to impact Him for our sake.
✅ Real humility looks like choosing to serve, sacrifice, and lift others higher.
✅ Use the time you've been given to live like Jesus — love, serve, forgive, and unite.
