The BEST
of the Week
for the REST
of the Week


Only available on CD
In 2010, the Northside congregation was challenged to read through The Daily Bible – a unique Bible edited by F. LaGard Smith. Brother Smith is a member of the Lord’s church who arranged the entire Bible into chronological order. To motivate our reading, our minister, Steve Tandy, selected one topic from the previous week’s reading to discuss on Sunday night. Each lesson was selected for application in the coming week. If you are interested in reading through the whole Bible in a year, this series will help keep you on track.          © 2010 Volume 1 & 2 -

Studies from daily reading in The Daily Bible.

Standing in Grace

Only available on CD
Romans 5:1 says that Christians “stand in grace.” Stanley Shipp once said, “Grace has often been a subject, without being a lifestyle.” This series, Standing in Grace, shows how grace transforms our lifestyle. If we truly stand in grace, we will treat other people with grace. We will also treat our spouse with grace and have a marriage of grace. Our congregations will be pleasing to God if we act like a church of grace. Listen to these lessons and learn how your life will be different if you are standing in grace.

Applying Grace in Our Lives
Amazing Grace-
Verse by Verse

Only available on CD
Probably the most famous Christian hymn ever written contains a wealth of truths about the grace of God. Each of the song’s four verses demand a thorough investigation to reveal the wonderful truths in John Newton’s famous lyrics. This series, Amazing Grace –Verse by Verse, looks at the life of the slave trader who wrote the hymn and also the life of the persecutor of the church who became the greatest messenger of grace. John Newton and the Apostle Paul both understood grace, and after hearing these four lessons, grace will be more amazing to you than ever.                                                     © 2010 (The theology of grace in song)

Verse 1: Presence, Purpose, Power
Verse 2: Paradox, Point
Verse 3: Providence, Promise
Verse 4: Prospect, Praise

Captured by Grace
by David Jeremiah)
Sin and God

Only available on CD
Some sins don’t bother us much. Oh, of course, we think some sins are really bad...but others we ignore, tolerate, or even enjoy. Habbakuk 1:13 tells us that God has a very different attitude about sin: “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; You cannot tolerate wrong.” This series, Sin and God, takes a hard look at how God sees sin, and then how He deals with it. In these four lessons you will learn how a perfectly just, holy, and wrathful God is able to accept us in our sinfulness. His great love for us will be revealed in a new and different light, and you will appreciate even more His amazing grace.

The Love of God

Only available on CD
A.W. Tozer said, “What I believe about God is the most important thing about me.” What do you believe about God? Do you see Him as a kindly old man who ignores all your sins, or as a vengeful tyrant waiting to pour out the fire and brimstone if you make a mistake? A balanced view of our loving God is essential to understanding His grace and the gospel. This series, The Love of God, looks at God’s defining characteristic from many different perspectives. By the time you’ve seen the love of God in these six lessons you will find a precious new security in your Christian walk.        © 2010

Moses & Me

Only available on CD
His life story has the drama of an epic Hollywood movie: Born into a slave family, raised as a prince of Egypt, and forced to flee into the wilderness, he returns to free a nation and defeat the most powerful man on earth.
This in-depth study of Moses is not, however, just about a historical figure. It is an up-close look at a man “whom the Lord knew face to face.” (Deuteronomy 34:10) If you want to be a man or woman who knows God that intimately, you need to look at the heart of Moses. Despite his shortcomings and failures, through God’s power “no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did.” (Deuteronomy 34:12)                    © 2009

Sharing Your Faith

Only available on CD
Preachers talk a lot about Christians sharing their faith with others, but many of us think, “That’s not for me.” Some preachers try to create “soul-winners” by taking their audience on a guilt trip, but that just makes us miserable. This series, Sharing Your Faith, explains that letting other people know about our Savior should really be a natural and easy process. Listen to these four lessons and you will be much more comfortable with your role as an ambassador of Christ.

Sharing Your Faith

...seems scary, but should be natural.

...seems hard, but should be easy.

...seems complicated, but should be simple.

...seems optional, but should be mandatory.
Asking in Faith

Only available on CD
Jesus clearly promised that “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it will be yours.” Yet, very few Christians would claim that God gives them whatever they ask for. This series, Asking in Faith, examines the practice of prayer in a clear and exciting way. Clear biblical principles of prayer are shown, and then illustrated by the amazing life of George Muller. Muller was known as the “prince of prayer,” and “the man who got things from God.” These six lessons will help you understand prayer in a whole new way-and motivate you to truly “ask in faith.”                                  © 2009

Saving Faith

Only available on CD
The Bible makes the plan of salvation very clear and simple. 2000 years of false teaching, however, has muddied the waters so much that many people are confused. There is no doubt we are saved by faith – but what “kind” of faith? Is baptism really necessary for salvation? Should babies be baptized? This series, Saving Faith, answers those questions and most others about the important topic of salvation. Whether you are a Christian preparing to share your faith with others, or someone simply looking for answers, these lessons will help you know what the Bible clearly teaches.                                     © 2009

“Whoever puts his faith in the Son has eternal life.”                            John 3:36

  • He Will… Bless Me
  • Clearing the Field Jesus came that we might have life-and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) The God of all joy does not want His children to live a joyless life here on earth. He wants it to be abundant—full, overflowing, and rich. And the Bible tells us how to do so. Just like a farmer must clear the field of noxious weeds before he can have an abundant harvest of wheat, we must get the major life-stealing problems out of our hearts and our lives in order to live abundantly. In this series, Clearing the Field, you will learn the dangers of six particular problems—and hear specific, practical ways to get them out of your life.

    Paul’s epistle to the Romans has been called “the most profound book in existence.” Scholars have said that, “To know Romans is to have an entire theological education,” and, “If you get Romans, God gets you.” In this series, the text of Romans is studied verse by verse to uncover both the deep doctrinal truths and practical applications of Paul’s masterwork. Almost all of the doctrinal errors that divide Christianity (original sin, predestination, once saved always saved, faith and works, etc.) are covered in Romans and special attention is paid to them. 60 pages of detailed notes are available with this series to help you truly “get Romans.”     © 2007 A Study of Paul's Letter to the Romans

    The Cause We Plead Jesus only built ONE church, and He prayed that His followers would remain ONE.  But now there are thousands of “churches” all claiming to follow Christ.  How did we get into this mess—and how can we fix it?  This series, The Cause We Plead, starts with a historic review of how the Church splintered into all of today’s denominations, and then explains the Restoration Movement’s attempts to restore the New Testament Church.  The final lessons present some very practical, biblical answers to how we can pursue the goal of simply being New Testament Christians.                            © 2007

    How to Become a Member of the Church If you call a dozen different churches from the yellow pages and ask, “How can I become a member of your church?” you will get a dozen different answers. Every denomination has it’s own rules about how to join their church. This series How to Become a Member of the Church, goes straight to the New Testament for answers. Jesus only built ONE church, and he gave direct instructions on how to become a part of it. The New Testament is crystal clear—baptism puts us into the church. This series looks at every case of conversion in the New Testament, and also gives a straight forward definition of biblical baptism.                   © 2007
    •  Understand “The Church”

    • Obey the Form of Teaching

    • Follow the Example of Others

    • Be Buried in Baptism

    The Purpose of the Church Is your church fulfilling its purpose? What is the purpose of the church? The Bible says that the church of Christ IS the body of Christ. That confers an awesome responsibility on the Lord’s church today. We are “called out” for a purpose—to do the work of Christ. Whatever the head (Jesus) wants done is what the body should be doing. This series presents six specific purposes which together draw a strong Biblical picture of what Jesus would have us do.                                                       © 2007
    • What is the Purpose of the Church?

    • To Seek and Save the Lost

    • To Live IN the World but not be OF the World

    • To Love One Another

    • To Build Up the Body

    • To Worship

    • To Uphold the Truth

    • A Church that Looks Like Jesus

    The Organization of the Church When the New Testament speaks of the church, the eklklesia, it does not refer to an organization, but simply to the body of believers who share a commitment to Jesus. It does, however, also use the same word "church" to refer to a local congregation of believers.  This series, The Organization of the Church, explains what the New Testament says about how those local churches should be operated or organized. It contrasts the simple local autonomy of tall congregations wit the complicated hierarchies of man[made organizations. It describes the simple "servant-offices" of elders and deacons as well as looking at God's desire for male spiritual leadership in the church.                                           © 2007

    The Assemblies of the Church God's people have always "come together" for worship (Ps. 22:22). The New Testament Church assembled regularly (Acts 2:46).  Christians are commanded to never stop meeting together (Heb. 10:24). In this series, The Assemblies of the Church , you will learn how, when, and why the New Testament Christians assembled.  You will also fid the biblical answers to some common errors of the day, such as: the day of worship, the purpose of the church assemblies, and acceptable acts of worship. Special attention is given to explaining why the Christians at Northside worship without instrumental accompaniment.                  ©2007
