The Second Sunday of Easter

“I AM the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12)

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Karen teaches on Jesus being the Light of the World. Jesus Christ didn’t just bring light—He is the light. Without Jesus, we stumble and fall, yearning for purpose in places that only leave us distracted and disconnected.

Jesus exposes all that is hidden. His light reveals what is true, and in His light, we are led in life, even if we cannot see the way.

Our readings for the day will be from Psalm 27:1, John 8:12-20, & John 9:1-5.

Come and find the light of Jesus!

The Third Sunday of Easter

“I AM the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35)

Join us as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches on Jesus being the Bread of Life. But, Jesus doesn’t merely give us life, He is life! What the world has to offer us, leaves us hungering for more; but Jesus feeds us, leaving us full!

Is your soul starving? Maybe you have sought for something that will fill that void. Maybe you’ve been reaching for everything but Jesus, hoping something will finally be enough. Jesus is the only thing that you need! With Him we will never hunger again. Believing in Him we will never thirst.

We will partake of Holy Communion. The table is set, the Bread of Life is waiting—you just have to come. Know that everyone is welcome at this table!

Our readings for the day are from Deuteronomy 8:3, & John 6:22-35, 53-58.

Come and feast on the Lord!

The Fourth Sunday of Easter

“I AM the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.” (John 10:9-11)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Join us this Mother’s Day as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches on Jesus the Gate and Jesus the Good Shepherd. There is just one gate to God. Just one gate to heaven. It should be locked, right? When you think of how sinful we all are, when you look around at the corruption in our world, when you are even honest about the evil in your heart, you would think that the gate to God and heaven should be locked tight! But it’s not. It’s open to you. It’s open to me. Is that not amazing?!

The gate to heaven is open to all who believe in Jesus. It’s open because Jesus, the Good Shepherd died for you and for me! The blood of Jesus took away our sins and instead offered us eternal life.

Our readings for the day are from Psalm 23, Revelation 3:20, & John 10:1-16

Jesus is the Gate. Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Come and be saved!

The Fifth Sunday of Easter

Join us this Fifth Sunday of Easter as Pastor Karen Crawford teaches on Jesus the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 

Jesus’ connection to the Father is of paramount importance in this Gospel reading. Jesus is trying to convince His disciples of His connection to the Father and how you and I can have life eternally with the Father if we know the Son, as well.

Jesus is the Way to salvation. Jesus is the Truth, which we sorely need in our world. Jesus is Life, life eternal!

Our readings for the day are from Proverbs 8:32-35, John 4:21-26, & John 14:1-14

Come and find Jesus for your life!

The Sixth Sunday of Easter

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. . . . I am the vine; you are the branches.” - John 15:1, 5

Join us this Sixth Sunday of Easter as Pastor Karen teaches us that Jesus uses the image of a vine and its branches to teach us about life in Him. when we are attached to him are we "tapped into" God. Jesus provides our sustenance for the daily challenges of living.

You and I are the branches. Only by remaining connected to Jesus can we bear the fruit of Christ. By the power of God's Spirit in us, we can bear the spiritual fruit of "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). When we are connected to the true vine, to Jesus himself, we produce fruit, glorifying God and drawing others to his love and mercy.

Like a branch attached to the vine, are you connected to Jesus and bearing fruit?

Our readings for the day are from Jeremiah 23:5-6, Galatians 5:22-23, & John 15:1-8

Come and worship with us, You are Welcome Here!

Stations of the Cross

  • Northridge United Methodist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Do you ever wonder what it was really like to be at the Passion of Jesus? The Stations of the Cross is one of the simplest, yet powerful, ways to prayerfully walk alongside Jesus and encounter Him like never before.

There are fifteen Stations of the Cross. Each is an invitation to contemplate and experience a pivotal moment from Jesus’ sentencing to His burial, and then to His Resurrection! They are a powerful way to step into some of the most significant moments in human history and encounter Jesus like never before! 

For over 1000 years, Christians have been devoted to praying the Stations of the Cross. And for over 1000 years, this deep spiritual exercise has been transforming lives. Dive into this ancient and powerful meditation on the sacrifice of Jesus and it will change your life too!

 

How Many Stations of the Cross Are There?

The Stations of the Cross will be set up in the education hallway. Please come into the building at the far-right door (where the office is). There will be a place to read about the Stations of the Cross, and then the 15 stations will be spread out through the hallway.

Each station represents a different moment in Jesus’ Passion and Death:  Jesus is Condemned to Death, Jesus Carries the Cross, Jesus Falls for the First Time, Jesus Meets His Mother, Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross, Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus, Jesus Falls a Second Time, Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem, Jesus Falls a Third Time, Jesus is Stripped of His Garments, Jesus is Nailed to the Cross, Jesus Dies on the Cross, Jesus’ Body is Removed from the Cross, Jesus is Laid in the Tomb, Jesus is Resurrected

Walk and read at your own pace. Take some time and pray. Walk through it once quickly and then go back to certain stations you want to reflect on more…the beauty of this Spiritual Discipline, is that you make it what you want it to be for you.

There will be quiet music playing, but other than that, the walk is in silence. Please be respectful of anyone else in the hallway while you are walking.

Come and be blessed in this sacred journey! 

Come and try it out this Holy Week!

-          Pastor Karen
