This morning we concluded our series on Life's Battles. Again we looked at the progress of Joshua leading God's chosen people into the land He had promised them many years before. As the Israelites went up against their next enemy at Ai, something very unexpected happened. Joshua didn't know why this had happened. The same type of thing can happen in our lives. We can find applications to our lives today when we look at what happened then.
The battle for your heart is one that goes on your entire life. Listen to today's message and take encouragement for how to stay on the winning side of this battle.

Msg: Life's Battles: Fear
So much for all the blowing snow they warned us about on the news. Prayer works!
In week 2 of our series on Life's Battles, we looked at the issue of fear. We can all come up with cute things we are willing to tell others we are afraid of like snakes and spiders... But if we are honest, we are afraid of things we don't want anyone else to know:
Fear of the economy
Fear of death
Fear of rejection
Fear of someone else finding out what we don’t want them to know about us
Fear of the unknown
As we started looking last week, God repeatedly told Joshua to be strong and courageous. Today we will continue the story of Joshua leading God’s people and talk about the secrets to overcoming the next battle in life - our deep, dark fears.

Msg: Life's Battles: Significance
On the heels of asking, "What's the wise thing for me to do?" last week, we started a new series this morning called "Life's Battles" which follows part of the life of Joshua leading God's people into the promised land.
From the time we are children, we each face a battle in life for significance, asking the question, "Do I matter?" This morning, we looked at the secret to winning the battle for significance in life. As you listen to this message, you will hear a reference near the end to the song "Already" by the group Rush of Fools. I can't include it in the recording here, but you can hear it along with a powerful video by clicking here after you've listened to the message. May God grant you peace as you look at the battle you've fought in your life for significance and fight no more.

Msg: The Best Question Ever
Happy New Year! After having to cancel last week due to weather, we were determined to get together if we could this week, and the Lord provided just enough clear roads to get many together this morning. As we start the new year, we are looking at a theme for the year that follows up to last year's - God can be trusted. This year, we will be asking,
This message comes from a series Andy Stanley did a number of years ago at his churches in the Atlanta, Georgia area. When I first heard it last fall, I knew it was something my friends needed to hear. I pray you will blessed with it and that your life will be changed because of it.
"What is the wise thing for me (and Northland) to do?"
