What does that look like? Galatians 5:16-25 describes a life led by the sinful nature and a life led by the Spirit. Remember- we do not earn points with God by our good behavior! We must simply stay connected to Jesus by continuing to BELIEVE that He has paid the price so we can be right with God. When we stay connected to Him, the Holy Spirit produces wonderful results in our lives. 00:52:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-22-12.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-22-12.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 22; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:57 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 22; By John Tether As we continue our study of Galatians, we encounter Paul's comparison of Ishmael (who represents human effort) and Isaac (who represents God's fulfillment of His promise). God wants His people FREE to live for Him and to serve others in Jesus' Name. May everything we do be motivated by LOVE for God and others! 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-15-12.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-15-12.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 15; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 15 Jan 2012 06:47 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 15; By John Tether Galatians is a wonderful description of God's plan to redeem us. It's not through our efforts, but by faith. Abraham was the perfect example- he believed God's word to him and so was counted as righteous because of his faith. You and I can be right with God in the same way- by believing God's Word! 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-08-12.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-08-12.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 8; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 8 Jan 2012 15:28 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 8; By John Tether It is vitally important that we receive a revelation of GRACE this year. We cannot earn God's approval. He accepts us because of what Jesus has done for us- nothing more, nothing less. When we stop depending on our own efforts to be right with God and lean wholly on His GRACE, we enter into the rest He has planned for our lives. Have you experienced a "grace conversion"? 00:40:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-01-12.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-01-12.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 1; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 1 Jan 2012 10:15 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 1; By John Tether God's Five purposes for all Beleivers can be demonstrated in the fingers on a hand. In this New Year, let's ask Him to improve our worship, service, evangelism, fellowship and discipleship. 00:30:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-24-11 Christmas Eve.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-24-11 Christmas Eve.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 24; By John Tether Sermons Sat, 24 Dec 2011 10:53 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 24; By John Tether Jesus is God's gift to us. He came to earth because we were incapable of reaching Him. Have you accepted God's gift for yourself? You can't earn it and you can't pay God back for it. He simply wants us to RECEIVE. 00:20:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-18-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-18-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 18; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:44 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 18; By John Tether A third was we can give Jesus a birthday present this Christmas is through WORSHIP. He told us that the Father is looking for people who will WORSHIP HIM in spirit and in truth. What does it mean to WORSHIP? 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-11-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-11-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 11; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 11 Dec 2011 11:38 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 11; By John Tether How can we make this a great Christmas fior Jesus? (It's His birthday, after all.) We can give to and serve the people around us. How can we improve our service to others in our home? at work? in our school? in our church? Receive some ideas through this sermon and PUT THEM INTO ACTION! 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-04-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-04-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 4; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 4 Dec 2011 18:17 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 4; By John Tether How can we give Jesus a birthday present? By giving to the people He puts in our lives. Read Matthew 25:35-46. How are you doing in giving at home? in your community? In your church? Hear God's voice as He leads you to make this a GREAT Christmas! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-27-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-27-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 27; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:02 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 27; By John Tether Enjoy Gods Word as brought to us by our Pastor, John Tether, and visiting speakers from around the world. God has exalted His Word even above His Name. Let's discover how we can honor God's Holy Word. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-20-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-20-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 20; By Suzanne Lacatena Sermons Sun, 20 Nov 2011 07:49 -0500 Suzanne Lacatena No Northway Christian Family Church, November 20; By Suzanne Lacatena As Christians, we should reach out to each other, but only after we have connected with the LORD. 35 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-13-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-13-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 13; By Pastor Joe McKelvey Sermons Sun, 13 Nov 2011 06:23 -0500 Pastor Joe McKelvey No Northway Christian Family Church, November 13; By Pastor Joe McKelvey What was Jesus doing when He washed His disciples' feet? He was going them an object lesson on serving others. Are YOU willing to stoop down to serve others in Jesus' Name? Enjoy this special sermon from Pastor Joe McKelvey of Christian Faith Fellowship in Middletown, NY. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-06-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-06-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 6; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 6 Nov 2011 06:36 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 6; By John Tether God loves football because it reflects the Christian life. A football player, no matter how talented he may be, cannot succeed without a strong team around him. In the same way, no Christian, no matter how dedicated, cannot succeed without a strong church family pulling together around him/ her. Do you see yourself as a vital part of your church family? You are! Jesus prayed for us to walk in unity. Will you answer His prayer? 00:50:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-30-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-30-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 30; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 30 Oct 2011 15:14 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 30; By John Tether Nobody just shows up on Sunday afternoon expecting to play in the NFL. Hundreds of hours of PREPARATION go before every game. The Christian life may not seem as intense, but surely we need to PREPARE for the battles we face in life. We should know our enemy and the tactics he uses to try to stop our progress. Even more importantly, we need to know our Coach and the plays He wants to run in our lives! Listen in to learn how. 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-23-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-23-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 23; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 23 Oct 2011 11:39 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 23; By John Tether God loves football because it requires PASSION, but it's not enough to be passionate on one play. The problem is, sometimes players get hurt! That's why football also requires PERSEVERANCE. Life is the same way. We all get hurt sometimes, and we have to decide whether or not to "stay in the game". God wants to us to keep going, touching others with the love of Christ. Here's help in doing that. 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-16-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-16-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 16; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 16 Oct 2011 14:24 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 16; By John Tether God loves football because it requires PASSION! He longs for His people to live out the passion He has placed in our hearts, passion He demonstrated in dying on the Cross for us. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the LORD, not for men." (Colossians 3:23) 00:40:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-02-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-02-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 2; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 2 Oct 2011 07:51 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 2; By John Tether Are YOU right with God? Surely, this is the most important question in the world for you to answer. But no less important to God is the question: "Are the people around you right with God?" In this third part in the series on evangelism, we will discuss an intermediate step in helping someone come to know Jesus: inviting them to church! Rather than debating with someone, be like Jesus' disciple Philip and encourage people to "Come and see for yourself." 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-25-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-25-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 25; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 25 Sep 2011 11:37 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 25; By John Tether Are you a receiver of God's Word or a transmitter? Hopefully, you are BOTH! As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to share His message of salvation with the people who are closest to us. Believe it or not, as much as God loves you, He loves that unbelieving friend or relative just as much! To whom is He calling you to transmit His Word this week? 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-18-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-18-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 18; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 18 Sep 2011 17:46 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 18; By John Tether Are you right with God? This is the most important question you will ever answer in life. Most people believe they are right with God if they follow the Ten Commandments (ie- they are "good people"). But what does the Bible say? Our key passage will be Romans 3:19-28. Read it and put your trust in Christ alone to make you right with God. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-11-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-11-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 11; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:15 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 11; By John Tether As we remember September 11, 2011, let us remember most of all that "the LORD still rules from heaven", even in the midst of our darkest days. Read Psalm 11. 00:35:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-04-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/09-04-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 4; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 4 Sep 2011 19:14 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 4; By John Tether Are you a proud person? Beware! At its core, pride is the belief that "I can do it myself", without the help of God and others. God resists proud people, but He gives His unmerited favor (grace) to the humble. Peter finishes his first letter with some very practical instruction on living in submission to God's will. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-28-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-28-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 28; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 28 Aug 2011 09:02 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, August 28; By John Tether Serving God is an important aspect in the life of any Christ- follower. How are you doing in your service to the LORD and His Church? Let the Word of God direct your life and He wil show you how to please Him. 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-21-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-21-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 21; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 21 Aug 2011 11:12 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, August 21; By John Tether Can you REALLY trust God to take care of you? What if things don't turn out the way you think they should? How did things work out for the Apostle Peter? Did God come through for him? We'll have to wait to ask him in Heaven, but based on his first letter, I'm pretty sure Peter is praising God today for EVERYTHING he went through in this life. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-14-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-14-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 14; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 14 Aug 2011 12:46 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, August 14; By John Tether Right in the middle of his first letter, Peter breaks into instructions for husbands and wives! Maybe the institution of marriage was already under attack in his day, or maybe the LORD simply wanted him to equip us for the 21st Century. Either way, every married person would do well to heed the words of the apostle and apply it to their marriage relationship today. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-07-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/08-07-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 7; By Suzanne Lacatena Sermons Sun, 7 Aug 2011 10:10 -0500 Suzanne Lacatena No Northway Christian Family Church, August 7; By Suzanne Lacatena Jesus is the ultimate example of how to keep a right attitude in suffering . Let's learn how He did it and, by His grace, follow His lead! 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-24-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-24-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, July 24; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 24 Jul 2011 10:15 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, July 24; By John Tether Peter is so right on for the American Church today. He calls us to serve as priests to unbelievers around us (1 Peter 2:5 & 9), but he also reminds us to live as "temporary residents and foreigners" in this world (2:11). Though it may seem impossible to answer both of these calls simultaneously, let's choose to trust Holy Spirit to accomplish what He wants in us. God is awesome! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-17-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-17-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, July 17; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 17 Jul 2011 13:59 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, July 17; By John Tether The second half of First Peter chapter one deals primarily with the AWESOME salvation God has given us in Jesus, and what He expects our response to be. He does not expect anything of us that He Himslef has not already imparted to us. As usual, we LOVE (give, serve, etc) because He first LOVED us! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-10-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-10-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, July 10; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:06 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, July 10; By John Tether Peter 's first letter may be the most applicable book in the entire New Testament for the follower of Jesus living in the United States today. If you are going through a hard time right now (or if you suspect you will one day!), be encouraged by the ancient words of the great apostle. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-03-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/07-03-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, July 3; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 3 Jul 2011 10:39 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, July 3; By John Tether Does the United States have a Christian foundation? Three of our "founding documents" clearly say yes. Why do some people want to eliminate all references to God from public discourse? Psalm 2 has the explanation. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-26-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-26-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, June 26; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 26 Jun 2011 10:48 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, June 26; By John Tether Our third practical definition of worship must be "Intimacy with God", because it is in worship that we truly give our whole selves (body, soul, and spirit) to God. We enjoy Him and all Him to conceive in our hearts His desires for this world. Have you worshipped God lately? 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-19-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-19-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, June 19; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 19 Jun 2011 16:11 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, June 19; By John Tether Sometimes, worship involves sacrifice. But really, the sacrifices God calls us to make are just opportunities to let go of the lesser things of this world so that we can lay hold of the greater things of God's Kingdom. Get ready to get challenged to experience more of God's Presence in your life! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-12-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-12-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, June 12; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 12 Jun 2011 13:15 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, June 12; By John Tether What is worship? Is it simply singing a few songs on Sunday morning? Of course not. Worship is giving thanks for what Jesus has done for us. Even on bad days, we would do well to remind ourselves that He has taken care of the "big stuff", namely, He paid the price for our sin. Our time of singing on Sunday mornings, indeed, our entire lives should flow of out thanks for God's amazing grace! 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-05-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/06-05-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, June 5; By Derek Levendusky Sermons Sun, 5 Jun 2011 08:18 -0500 Derek Levendusky No Northway Christian Family Church, June 5; By Derek Levendusky Is your Christian walk more like a rowboat or a sailboat? That depends on who is the object of your faith. If YOU are the object, the journey with the LORD is a constant strain. If JESUS is the object, He supplies all the strength we need to reach our destination. This word from God will give you a clearer picture of God's amazing GRACE. Get ready to put your sails up! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-22-11A.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-22-11A.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 22; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 22 May 2011 06:04 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 22; By John Tether To conclude our series on HOPE, we will meet with two people from our own church family who have experienced a "turn-around" from God. Never give up HOPE! Hold tightly without wavering to the hope we have, for God can be trusted to keep His promise." (Hebrews 10:23) 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-22-11B.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-22-11B.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 22; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 22 May 2011 06:00 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 22; By John Tether To conclude our series on HOPE, we will meet with two people from our own church family who have experienced a "turn-around" from God. Never give up HOPE! Hold tightly without wavering to the hope we have, for God can be trusted to keep His promise." (Hebrews 10:23) 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-15-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-15-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 16; By John Tether Sermons Mon, 16 May 2011 13:46 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 16; By John Tether Paul (originally known as Saul) went from persecuting followers of Jesus to being one himself. That's a pretty big turn-around! Just as amazing, however, is how he went from being a "religious" man to being a man who had a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. What's the difference? Listen and find out! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-08-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-08-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 8; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 8 May 2011 13:17 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 8; By John Tether Do you know somebody with a shameful past? Have you inadvertently disqualified them from being close to God because of it? Don't do it! God forgives ALL sin! Rahab is a perfect example of God's mercy and forgiveness in operation. We can learn a lot from her- especially if WE OURSELVES are the ones with the shame-filled past! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-01-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/05-01-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 1; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 1 May 2011 13:31 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 1; By John Tether Allow your hope and faith to be lifted as you hear the story of Joseph and how God turned things around for him. What can we learn from his steadfast attitude? 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/04-24-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/04-24-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, April 24; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 24 Apr 2011 13:18 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, April 24; By John Tether No matter what situation you may be going through, God can turn things around! Easter reminds us each year to hope in God and never give up! "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 00:40:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/04-10-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/04-10-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, April 10; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 10 Apr 2011 11:52 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, April 10; By John Tether What does it mean to "live for God"? (HInt: It doesn't necessarily mean joining monastery or a convent!) Living for God means acknowledging that we belong to Him every minute of every day. It means seeing Jesus as "Lord" and not just "Savior". We do a better job of it when we KNOW that God has cleansed us, He has made us holy, He has made us right with Himself (See 1 Corinthians 6:11).

If so, have you embraced His call for you to be His witness to the people you know? There is nothing more exciting than reconciling someone to God. We'll talk about the "why" and the "how" of doing that in this message. 00:35:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-27-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-27-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 27; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 27 Mar 2011 13:24 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, March 27; By John Tether THe process of "mending and sendinhg" begins when a person accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. Although each person's journey with the Lord is distinct, there are commonalities that we all share. Let's talk about that today. 37 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-20-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-20-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 20; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 20 Mar 2011 13:40 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, March 20; By John Tether "Mending and Sending" isn't just a catchy phrase for us- it describes how God works in us to prepare and equip us to carry out His assignments in our lives. 00:40:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-13-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-13-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 13; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 13 Mar 2011 08:03 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, March 13; By John Tether God's Word, the Bible, is alive and it will change the lives of all those who accept it into their hearts (whether or not we understand how). We are called to read the Word, believe the Word, obey the Word, and speak the Word in order for God to work in our lives the way He wants to. Will you answer His call? 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-06-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/03-06-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 6; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 6 Mar 2011 12:47 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, March 6; By John Tether If God created the institution of marriage, why is it such a struggle sometimes? (Hint: it's NOT God's fault!) The fact is, sin (aka selfishness) affects every relationship we have. It's failry obvious that divorce is a serious problem in our society today, but did you know that it was also a serious problem in Bible times? In fact, God's Word contains extensive instruction about singleness, marriage, divorce and re-marriage. As you listen to this message, consider how different our society would be today if everyone did things God's way. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-27-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-27-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 27; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 27 Feb 2011 13:22 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 27; By John Tether God intended marriage to be a blissful union between one of His sons and one of His daughters. Sadly, sin (aka "selfishness") ruined all of the intimacy Adam and Eve originally enjoyed in the Garden of Eden. Now, we must seek God's Word to figure out how to experience the mystery of marriage in a sin-stained world. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-20-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-20-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 20; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 20 Feb 2011 13:35 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 20; By John Tether With "Money Problems" being cited in about 70% of divorce cases, no marriage series would be complete without God's instructions for handling finances. In this sermon, learn the first three steps to financial security, as well as specific instructions for couples and advice for ALL believers in Jesus Christ as to how to live in God's promised place of blessing. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-13-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/02-13-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 13; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 13 Feb 2011 13:47 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 13; By John Tether God intended people to have intimacy with Himself, and with each other- especially in the marriage relationship. Unfortunately, sin destroys intimacy. Because of the Fall, intimacy is now very difficult to attain, but it can be done when we accept Jesus as Lord and choose to look out for the needs of others like He did. Wives need emotional intimacy and husbands need physical intimacy. If both work at meeting the other's needs, intimacy happens and marriage is a joy. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-09-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-09-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 9; By John Tether Sermons Wed, 9 Feb 2011 07:06 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 9; By John Tether Are you communicating love in a way that the people in your life understand?

What does that look like? Is it even possible? Let's talk about that today in light of Dr Emerson Eggerich's book Love and Respect. 00:45:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-30-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-30-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 30; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 30 Jan 2011 07:59 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 30; By John Tether The Lord wants us to do three things regarding Jesus' Second Coming: 1) Be ready for it. Matthew 24:44 (Make sure you have accepted Jesus free gift of salvation.) 2) Look forward to it. 2 Timothy 4:8 (Don't let anything in this life diminish your desire for Him.) 3) Hurry it along! 2 Peter 3:8-13 (Tell everyone you know what Jesus has done for you so they can come to know Him, too. "The Spirit and the Bride say "Come'" 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-23-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-23-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 23; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 23 Jan 2011 07:13 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 23; By John Tether What is Heaven like? How do you get there? Revelation chapter 21 makes clear that God does not intend for the answers to these questions to be a mystery to us. Heaven is a wonderful place. Make sure TODAY that your name is written in His Book! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/1-19-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/1-19-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 19; By John Tether Sermons Wed, 19 Jan 2011 07:18 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 19; By John Tether Did you know that after the Battle of Armageddon Jesus is going to reign as King over the whole earth for 1,000 years? At the end of His Millenial Reign, stan will be released one last time to try to deceive people, but it will be one short run, then he will end up in the Lake of Fire. After that, Jesus will judge all people according to their deeds. Since no one lives up to His standard fully, only those whose names are written in His Book of Life will be allowed to enter His eternal kingdom. Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life? if Jesus is your Lord, it is! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-16-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-16-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 16; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 16 Jan 2011 13:54 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 16; By John Tether After weeks of studying God's wrath and all the terrible plagues that wil come upon the earth, we are finally getting to talk about Jesus' Second Coming. Is it a reality to you ? Do you believe He is coming back soon? He is, and when He does, He will correct all injustices against His people. What a wonderful time to be on His side! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-12-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-12-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 12; By John Tether Sermons Wed, 12 Jan 2011 06:54 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 12; By John Tether Revelation Chapter 18 is a continuation of John's description of the destruction of false religion. God hates "religion" because it represents a perversion of intimacy with Him and has been the cause of countless deaths. The underlying foundation of "religion" is self-centeredness. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-09-11.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/01-09-11.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, January 9; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 9 Jan 2011 14:24 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, January 9; By John Tether Revelation chapter 17 describes God's judgment on "The Great Prostitute". Just as prostitution perverts true intimacy between a husband and wife, so this woman represents false religion that seeks to pervert the true intimacy God wants to have with his people. True Christianity is NOT a religion! It is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ our Lord ans Savior. Press on from religion to relationship! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-19-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-19-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 19; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 19 Dec 2010 06:58 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 19; By John Tether As we continue our study of the Book of Revelation, two major themes arise: 1) God's wrath is real and it is coming on the disobedient, and 2) believers must remain faithful to Jesus and continue to be His witnesses, even if the whole world conspires against them. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-12-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-12-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 12; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 12 Dec 2010 07:40 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 12; By John Tether Revelation chapter 14 clearly describes the different attitudes of those who follow Christ and those who doe not. Followers of Christ are willing to suffer in this life, knowing that their reward is great in Heaven. Unbelievers, however, do whatever they can to suck all the pleasure they can out of this life (and the people around them). Stay faithful to Jesus! He has a great reward waiting for you! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-5-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/12-5-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, December 5; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 5 Dec 2010 07:47 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, December 5; By John Tether In Revelation chapter 13 God provides His people with a description of the Anti-Christ, the False Prophet and the mark of the beast.

Why would God give our adversary such a prominent place in His Word? I believe it is because He does not want us to be ignorant of the devil's schemes. Satan's only two weapons against God's people are deception and accusation. Do you know how to defeat him? That's what Revelation 12 teaches us. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-28-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-28-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 28; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 28 Nov 2010 07:03 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 28; By John Tether As we study these two mysterious figures from Revelation Chapter 11, let's focus on how their ministry relates to our lives. What is the Lord teaching us through the account of the Two Witnesses? 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-21-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-21-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 21; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 21 Nov 2010 07:08 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 21; By John Tether No new prophecy of future events takes place in Revelation Chapter 10, which begs the question: "Why did God include it?" I believe He is showing us that just as John needed to be refreshed in the midst of receiving all these visions, so we need to be refreshed at times in order to fulfill God's assignments for us. The best defense against over-whelmedness is to get a revelation of how big God is. As Pastor James MacDonald says: "Big God, small problems. Small God, big problems." May you receive a fresh perspective on our glorious Lord today! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-10-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-10-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 10; By John Tether Sermons Wed, 10 Nov 2010 14:36 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 10; By John Tether Even as He pours out His wrath on a sinful, disobedient world, the Lord continues to hold out His offer of forgiveness. Feel His heart for the lost as we study Revelation Chapter 9. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-31-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-31-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 31; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:12 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 31; By John Tether Revelation Chapter 8 forces us to remember the balance: God is love and He does show us His grace, but He is also holy and shows His wrath against the disobedient. Pray for your friends, co-workers, and classmates who do not yet know the Lord! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-24-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-24-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 24; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 24 Oct 2010 07:02 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 24; By John Tether One day Jesus is going to snatch His people from this sinful world. This is referred to in Scripture as the "Blessed Hope", and is often called "The Rapture". Almost all Believers in Jesus look forward to this wonderful event, but the big question is: When will it take place? No one knows the day or the hour, but Jesus did tell us to know "the signs of the times". His return is very close. Are you ready? Are your friends, neighbors, co-workers and classmates ready? 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-10-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-10-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 10; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 10 Oct 2010 08:17 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 10; By John Tether Revelation Chapter Six finally begins the description of "End Times" events. As we study what is often consider "scary" passages, let us remind ourselves that God is in control and that He is continually working every aspect of human history for His glory. May we also glorify Him in all we say and do! 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-3-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/10-3-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, October 3; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 3 Oct 2010 10:09 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, October 3; By John Tether Jesus is awesome! In Revelation Chapter 5, John watches as worship in the Throne Room of God is directed to Jesus, the Lamb of God. He alone is worthy to open the scroll because He alone lived a life of total obedience to the Father's will. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether. Revelation 5. Lamb of God. http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/9-26-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/9-26-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 26; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 26 Sep 2010 09:27 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 26; By John Tether Does the idea of worshipping God for eternity kind of freak you out? I mean, won't it get boring after a couple hundred years? The problem with that thinking lies in the fact that we do not understand worship fully, and right now our eyes are not fully open to God's awesome splendor. As we read the description of God's Throne Room in Revelation Chapter 4, we see every living thing completely absorbed in worship of Almighty God. That's because they see Him in all His glory and majesty and live in constantly renewed awe of Him. One day we will join them, but I believe the Lord wants to "knock our socks off" once in awhile here on Earth as well. 00:55:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/9-5-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/9-5-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, September 5; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 5 Sep 2010 07:24 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, September 5; By John Tether What's your favorite HOT drink? What's your favorite COLD drink? Most likely, you have a quick answer for each of those questions. But what if someone asked about your favorite LUKEWARM drink? You probably don't have an answer for that. What does this have to do with the Book of Revelation? Listen and find out as we study Jesus' letter to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22).

One is large and busy and is well thought of in their city. The other is small, weak, and despised in their community. Which one pleases Jesus more? The answer may surprise you. 00:55:00 Sardis Church, Philadelphia Church, Alive, Dead, Reputation, Wake-up, Go back, Obey, Strength http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/8-8-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/8-8-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 8; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 8 Aug 2010 08:47 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, August 8; By John Tether Does a fish realize when the water in its tank gets dirty? Probably not. In the same way, it's easy for people to get used to moral decline in their society. It's a slow fade. That's what was happening in the city of Thyatira, and Jesus brings a strong word of correction to them. Could He be speaking the same words to the church in the U. S. today? Let's talk about that. 00:55:00 Son of God, love, faith, service, patient endurance, improvement, complaint, lust, purity http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/8-1-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/8-1-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, August 1; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 1 Aug 2010 06:55 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, August 1; By John Tether Have you ever had a friend who loved you enough to tell you when you were wrong? A friend like that is a gift (even though you probably didn't apprreciate it at the time!) Jesus is a friend like that. He is gentle and kind, picking us up when we're down, and encouraging us to stay strong. But He also is not afraid to tell us when we're getting off track because He knows it's for our own good. Jesus has some strong words for the church in Pergamum (and for us) today.

He loves us enough to commend us for what we're doing right and to correct what we're doing wrong. He also encourages us to persevere in our service to Him. Will you remain faithful and receive His crown of life?

I hope so, because He does not want any of us to be caught unprepared. The book of Revelation is not just about what is going to happen in "The End Times," it also gives us a ton of instruction on how to live this life day-by-day.

Even worse, maybe you've avoided it altogether because it seems so confusing. Well, this summer is the time for us to face this important final book of the Bible head on and find out what the Lord is saying to us almost 2,000 years after Jesus' resurrection. Why study the book of Revelation?

I know I have. None of us likes to feel that way, and yet it is a sensation that I believe the Lord wants us to experience from time to time because it reminds us that we are "foreigners" in this world. As we finish up our "Who Am I?" series today, let's talk about what it means to live in this world while we truly belong in the next.

When you ask most people that question, they respond by telling you their name. Although a name is important, there are many more factors that contribute to a person's identity. What shapes your view of yourself? Your jobs, relationships, and accomplishments are helpful, but our ultimate identity must come from knowing who we are in Christ. 00:55:00 Sinner, Saint, Holy, Righteous, Unrighteous http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/6-6-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/6-6-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, June 6; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 6 Jun 2010 09:02 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, June 6; By John Tether Have you stopped yet today to consider how great God is? I am convinced that if we spent more time thinking about the awesomeness of God (and less time thinking about our problems) we would be better off. So let's take some time today to meditate on the goodness of God, our Creator, Savior, and Lord. I can think of no better way to spend our day. 00:55:00 Loved by God, Clothed with glory and honor through Christ, earthly life is short http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/5-30-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/5-30-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, May 30; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 30 May 2010 08:11 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, May 30; By John Tether Do you like yourself? It's ironic (and sad) that we spend millions of dollars and hours in public school trying to build up children's self-esteem, while telling them that they are nothing more than a cosmic accident that "evolved" into a human being. Until we get a revelation of who God is, we will never understand or accept who we are. Today, let's look at how awesome God is and let Him determine our worth. 00:55:00 God is: awesome, almighty, holy, Creater of the universe http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/3-14-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/3-14-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 14; By Suzanne Lacatena Sermons Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:31 -0500 Suzanne Lacatena No Northway Christian Family Church, March 14; By Suzanne Lacatena .You are in for a treat today! As much as I love to preach the Word, I understand that God is too extravagant to be described by one person. That is why I have asked Pastor Suzanne Lacatena to share the Word with you today. She has a gift for shepherding God's people unlike anyone I know, and I believe she has a message that is straight from Father God's heart. Open your heart to receive it today! 00:55:00 Building Blocks of Faith, The Word, Relationship with Jesus Christ http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/3-7-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/3-7-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, March 7; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 7 Mar 2010 07:48 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, March 7; By John Tether Today we finish our series on "feelings". Last week we talked about happiness, the feeling everyone wants, so today we need to wrestle with sorrow, the feeling everyone wants to avoid. Why would God allow us to feel sorrow? Is there anything good about it? What can happen if we don't keep it in perspective? Let's talk about that today. 00:55:00 Sorrow, Depression, Comfort, Holy Spirit http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-28-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-28-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 28; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:01 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 28; By John Tether As we continue our series on "feelings", I felt we should discuss the one that everybody is pursuing: HAPPINESS. What does the Bible say about happiness? The answer may surprise you! 00:55:00 Happiness, Joy, Rejoice, Be Content http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-21-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-21-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 21; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 21 Feb 2010 07:42 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 21; By John Tether As a guy, I tend to downplay the importance of feelings, but i can't help but think that God has given them to us for a reason. That being said, there is also a danger that we become too in tune with our feelings and let them run our lives. Today, we will discuss anger, possibly the most dangerous emotion of all. Let's learn what God intended it for and how we need to manage it in our lives. 00:55:00 Anger, Emotion, Passion, Angry and not sin, Control http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-14-10.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/2-14-10.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, February 14; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:06 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, February 14; By John Tether Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate the "warm, fuzzy" feelings of love, but isn't there more to it than that? Let's face it, emotions come and go, so love has to be something a little more solid and dependable. Today, let's discuss two different kinds of "love" and how both are needed in any relationship-even between you and God! 00:55:00 Feelings, Love, Phileo, Agape, Passion, Investment http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-22-09.mp3 http://mendingandsending.org/assets/sermon/11-22-09.mp3 Northway Christian Family Church, November 22; By John Tether Sermons Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:00 -0500 John Tether No Northway Christian Family Church, November 22; By John Tether Enjoy Gods Word as brought to us by our Pastor, John Tether, and visiting speakers from around the world. 00:40:00 Northway Christian Family Church, John Tether
