Servants & Stewards - Is Serving God Worth It? (Year-End Recap)

What does it really mean to serve God when doing so costs us something?As Northwest Hills closes out a year focused on living as servants and stewards, Worship Director Justin Jackson looks back at the lives of Joseph, Jeremiah, Peter, Jesus, and others we've studied along the way. Through their stories, he explores faithfulness through hardship, choosing truth when it's costly, letting go of present comforts, and the surprising relationship between serving God and true freedom.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 21:6John 8:31–32Jeremiah 20:71 Peter 1:3–4Genesis 50Jeremiah 29:11John 6:38–40Key Moments(00:00) Welcome(00:28) Message: Is Serving God Worth It?(01:11) The Game Ball My Brother Gave Away(06:28) A Year in Review: Joseph, Jeremiah, Peter, and the Mothers of Jesus(09:36) Fighting for the Truth(19:18) Fighting Through Hardship(25:20) Trading Present Comforts for Future Reward(28:35) Trading "Freedom" for True Freedom(33:04) Redefining Freedom: Doing Whatever God WantsMentioned in This MessageChasing Love by Sean McDowellJohn Adams and the Boston Massacre trialThank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 6, 2026, at 10:30am.
