Measures

The video, lesson and daily devotionals are below.This week we look at our measures. Our measures help us to determine if we are being successful in accomplishing our mission. It's like our business plan, that tells us what we want to accomplish, so we can measure where we are during the process. Our measures are what we hope to become: worshiper, friend, servant, disciple and missionary. This week, I hope you are able to see how you measure up in becoming a growing follower of Jesus.

Strategy

The video, lesson, and daily devotionals are below. This week we look at our strategy: Sunday Worship, Serve Consistently, Small Group, and Spontaneous Mission. Our strategy is the plan we have for accomplishing our mission. Our mission is simply a dream unless we plan how we will accomplish it. This week we will look at our strategy in comparison to the early church's strategy. We hope you will live by this strategy and influence others to live by it as well.

Values

The video, lesson, and daily devotionals for this week are below. This week we look at the four core values of Northside: Simply Scripture, Genuine Relationships, Innovative Faith, and Dynamically Missional. Author Will Mancini relates values to the banks of a river. They keep the water moving in one direction. Without the banks, the water is simply a puddle or pond. As we look at some biblical examples and commands toward these values, I hope you catch an innate sense of how Northside embodies them, or is beginning to embody them.
