We are honoring the guidance provided by local, regional, and national authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic and not gathering together in person. While we are physically distant, we are socially and spiritually connecting through the technological platforms available to us!
New NP Online Care Card
<b>Stay Connected with the Northpoint Family.</b> We all ache to gather again. Being separated is tough, but during stressful times, it is even harder not to have face to face fellowship and the strength that comes from physically being together. Even so, we can still connect with each other. One way is to fill out the new confidential NP Care Card (See link below.). Once submitted, the card will be reviewed by the Northpoint Care Team. If you so indicate on the card, someone from the team will contact you.

http://tiny.cc/6yanszThe disciples and Jesus find themselves on the temple mount in awe of the beauty of the temple. Despite the beauty, Jesus prophesies that the temple would be destroyed within the generation of His disciples in AD 70. Jesus gives a list of signs that include intense persecution, false messiahs, and the abomination of desolation. He then moves on to discuss His second coming before comforting and challenging His disciples to put their confidence in His Word and to stay active, especially in times of crisis. The grounds of their hope is the truth that heaven and earth will pass away, but the words of Jesus Christ will never pass away.
Disciples have an active and hopeful confidence in the Word of God during times of crisis.

3. How often do you think about the persecuted church? In what ways are you challenged by those who endure intense persecution around the world? (For more information, visit persecution.org for more information on how you can pray for persecuted Christians worldwide).
4. What specific promises in this passage give you hope and confidence in the Word of God? (Share a verse or promise right out of the text).
5. In what ways are you tempted to become lazy or discouraged in your work? How does thinking about Jesus’ second coming help you work better as a Christian?
6. What motivates your work and your confidence? Does your own experience create confidence, and does your own willpower create hope? How might experience and willpower fall short as proper desires for work and confidence?
