Northside Church of Richmond

We sure do miss our Northside Church kids!!! Hope you all enjoy their amazing presentation of Psalm 23. Adults, many of our little ones already have the whole thing memorized! Psalm 8:2: "you have taught children and infants to tell of your strength silencing your enemies and all who oppose you." #mannaforthemoment #nurturingfamily #joyfulworshipers

Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves  together and made themselves loincloths. Genesis 3:7 Our pastor read this verse last Sunday as part of his sermon series, Four Chapter Gospel, and then explained that Adam and Eve were experiencing a deep sense of exposure and shame and what followed was a flurry of activity that involved covering and hiding and blame shifting. Activities that I know all too well. While listening, another scripture passage came to mind from Hebrews 12:2. For the joy set before him, Jesus endured the cross, despising the shame. He who knew no sin or shame, became sin and shame for me. Abandoned, mocked, tortured, and stripped naked, he could have called legions of angels, but he stayed under the shame, under the watching eyes of the crowd and under the judgement of God. He stayed! He stayed because he knew that if he didn’t, I would be trapped in an endless cycle of covering and hiding – from myself, ot

What a gift to listen to one of the ways the Holy Spirit invited Charity Smith to respond to His Word and to create. Close your eyes and enjoy a sweet gift from our sister. You will lead me You will guide me You have goodness in store for me I have all that I need I have all that I need I have all that I need, in You. In You. 

One of the things we miss most about worshiping together in person at Northside Church of Richmond is receiving the warmth, love, encouragement and wisdom of Miss Patricia in person! Be on the look out for more encouraging videos or devotional writings related to Psalm 23 in the coming days and weeks as we seek to connect as family to one another during this time. We love you Miss P!! #mannaforthemoment #nurturingfamily

At Northside Church of Richmond, we desire earnestly to be joyful worshipers, nurturing family, and engaged neighbors always, and we are seeking ways to spur us on towards those things creatively right now. One way we're trying is by creating a space where we can interact and be nourished, encouraged, and connected to one another to keep pointing each other to God's Truths to steady us, to shape us, and to send us out in His ways. Be on the lookout for devotional writings with meditations on God's Word, videos of encouragement, and other creative offerings from our church body.
