A Time For Every Season....

Watch the Channell 11 video here to see the Green team on the news! Below is the video Northwood's great production team put together for finishing out the makeover for 2009! Home Makeover 09 Highlights from Northwood Church on Vimeo .

The Glocal Story. This is a great video our church showed on Sunday about the effects of using the church as the missionary. It is so awesome to see how when Christian's are obedient and have faith - God can change a church as well as nations!

We've had a whole week to reflect on Home Makeover. Its been a quiet week, often John and I find ourselves thinking, "I wonder what the __ family is up to in their home?" "Is God answering our prayer of Faith for them and their neighbors?" "Has the neighborhood changed, have any seeds started to sprout?" We are so blessed to have a God that wants us to participate in Kingdom work! What a privilege to emulate the King of Kings! We serve such a big God, the weekend probably changed our hearts more than those we served! I've noticed such a peace in John since last weekend, he loves to serve and has always felt his gift of carpentry and tools was hard to fit into Kingdom work. This past weekend he was able to serve unbelievers and believers alike by doing what he loves, teaching! He spent most of the week prior building the front railings and a bookshelf just so he would have time during the Makeover Weekend to teach. It was a privilege to watch him in...

Our pastor, Bob Roberts, spoke to us Sunday about his recent trip to Washington where he was invited to speak with Condoleezza Rice. Northwood and other churches around the US, are actively seeking involvement in bringing Christian aid to the Palestinians. I love how they call our pastor a Mega church pastor - our church only has 2,000 people which is small for a Texas church! The article is a great read! Melissa October 30, 2007 2:56PM Condoleezza Rice: From Bethlehem to Annapolis The Secretary of State is determined to lay foundations for Middle East peace. David Neff Last Friday, I joined five other evangelical Protestant leaders for an intense and rewarding half-hour conversation with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Our goal was to assure her of our support as she navigates the treacherous waters of Middle East politics—particularly as she arm-wrestles the various parties toward the summit planned for the beginning of December in Annapolis. The Bush Administration is hop...

Four Haltom City families getting home makeovers from church By TERRY WEBSTER Star-Telegram staff writer Related Content Four Haltom City families getting home makeovers from church HALTOM CITY -- Four families are just a few hours away from living in their dream homes. They were whisked away Friday afternoon to a hotel in Grapevine, where they will stay overnight while hundreds of volunteers from NorthWood Church in Keller renovate their homes. All the families have children attending the Academy at West Birdville elementary school in the Birdville school district. For three years, NorthWood has teamed with the school, where about 90 percent of the students are economically disadvantaged. The four families spent some time swimming and shopping Friday evening, and today they're headed to Six Flags Over Texas. This evening, they will return to homes that have been newly repainted, carpeted and decked out with new appliances and furniture -- and maybe even plasma TVs. Children's ...

Press release: As part of their ongoing partnership with The Academy at West Birdville, NorthWood Church in Keller will be transforming the homes of four Haltom City families October 12 and 13. Nearly 700 members of NorthWood Church will be sprucing up the homes of four families whose children attend The Academy at West Birdville in Haltom City. According to the Texas Education Agency, ninety percent of the school’s children come from economically disadvantaged families. Last spring, children submitted essays to the school’s faculty on why their home needed a home make over. Recipient families were selected by The Academy’s faculty for next Friday and Saturday’s 24 hour make over. NorthWood members will be landscaping, painting, installing new appliances, carpet, bath fixtures, repairing roofs and providing other various minor repairs. The selected families will enjoy an evening at a local hotel and Saturday at Six Flags while NorthWood is transforming their homes. Thursday, October 11...

Click this link to hear Sunday's sermon where our pastor Bob Robers interview's the PACC delegates from Vietnam. It was even more powerful sitting in the audience. How awesome that these men were able to hear the gospel presented 4 times during the 4 services they attended. They even were singing our worship songs and we learned one in Vietnamese ! It was an amazing experience to see communists visiting us, thanking us, and asking for our continued support. This delegates were so humble and kind, not exactly what I as an American would think of as communist. Listen to the sermon above to hear more about what Pastor Roberts said to the PACC delegates and his congregation.

North Texas church welcomes communist officials Below is an article just posted in the Fort Worth Telegram about our church! NorthWood Church in Keller has been at work in Vietnam for more than a decade, and officials from that nation's communist government will be visiting the church this weekend. Here's a press release from the church: Communist Government Officials to Visit North Texas Church Representatives from the Vietnam Committee for Foreign NGO Affairs (COMINGO) and the People’s Aid Coordinating Committee (PACCOM) will be attending the weekend services and hosting meetings with American business leaders and international NGO leaders, July 21-24, at NorthWood Church in Keller, TX. The delegation’s trip is designed to strengthen the government of Vietnam’s relationship with the 2,000 member NorthWood Church and Glocal Ventures, Inc., the NGO founded by NorthWood and to develop relationships with American business leaders and investors interested in participating in Vietn...

In kingdom work, we make a mistake when we start with ecclesiology. We should start with Christology. Our first approach should be "How can we live out the love of Jesus in this society?" It's not "How can we start a church?" One Sunday Pastor Bob Roberts asked everyone in the congregation at NorthWood Church in Keller, Texas, to invert the collar of the person in front of them, find the label, and call out the nation where the shirt was made. China, India, Vietnam, Mexico, Chile, Kenya, Dominican Republic, and Spain were all mentioned before someone finally said "USA."The shirts on their backs came from all over the world. It was Bob's way of reinforcing his recurring theme of glocalization, synonymous with Thomas Friedman's "the earth is flat." It describes today's seamless integration between the local and global, a comprehensive connectedness produced by travel, business, and communications. "Glocal is as important a term...
