God has given NorthCross an incredible mission. Here's how we say it: We are here to lead people to Jesus. You've probably noticed that the number of people we are reaching continues to grow. Friends are inviting friends. Kids and students are showing up. More and more people are finding hope, community, and Jesus at NorthCross.

That growth has created an exciting opportunity to build on our mission and reach even more people with the hope of Jesus. Mission Builders is a series where we will learn what it looks like to step forward in faith and be a part of something that's bigger than ourselves.

We all want to know that we are loved, valued, and that there is a place where we belong. But where do we look to satisfy that longing? And what happens when the things we turn to never quite deliver what we hoped they would? As we begin our Mission Builders series, we’ll look at where lasting love and belonging can be found and why helping others discover it is a mission worth giving our lives to.

Every day, opportunities are right in front of us: opportunities to make a difference, influence someone’s life, or be part of something bigger than ourselves. The challenge is that sometimes we’re so focused on getting through life that we don’t even recognize them. What if we learned to see what God has placed in front of us differently? This week, we’ll talk about making the most of the opportunities we’ve been given and using them for what matters most. 

What you do matters. But sometimes, how you do it matters more. As we take a significant step forward together as a church, we need to think carefully not only about what we’re building, but about how we’re building it. This weekend we’ll see how Jesus teaches us to examine the heart behind what we do.
