Episodes

  1. No More Excuses (Romans 3:1-8) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Take responsibility for your spiritual advantages and your sinful failures, knowing that God would be right to condemn you as a sinner without Christ.

  2. Spiritually Fake (Romans 2:17-29) | Pastor John Fabarez

    It’s possible to have all the advantages of a godly family, biblical training, and religious ceremonies, and to still be a lost hypocrite who is not right with God. This is what Paul warns of in Romans 2, and our students need to consider this for themselves.

  3. We Know Better (Romans 2:12-16) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Admit you have no defense before God's judgment because you know better than you live and he knows every secret.

  4. The Fair Judge (Romans 2:6-11) | Pastor John Fabarez

    God is a righteous and impartial judge who will judge people based on their works. It’s impossible to really be good without the transforming power of the gospel and on our own we are all deserving of God’s righteous judgment.

  5. Unjust Judges (Romans 2:1-5) | Pastor John Fabarez

    In light of God’s piercing judgment and patient kindness, rethink your own goodness and turn from your sin to God instead of ignoring or excusing it.

  6. Given Over (Romans 1:24-31) | Pastor John Fabarez

    When people insist on fulfilling their sinful lust, God lets people have their sin and the consequences of their sin. We need to call on God and plead for his forgiveness and cleansing from our sin!

  7. The Power of God (Romans 1:16-17) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul is not ashamed to proclaim the gospel and to be associated with the gospel message because it is the power of God to eternally save people who put their faith in God. We have no good reason to be ashamed of this powerful message.

  8. Real Christian Love (Romans 1:8-15) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul demonstrates Christian love to the Roman Christians that he has not yet met, and we can learn from his prayer, encouragement, and evangelism.

  9. The Gospel of God (Romans 1:1-7) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul begins his letter about the gospel with an introduction to God’s gospel message. We will study the book of Romans in depth for the rest of the school year over the course of 30 sermons.

  10. Don't Covet (Exodus 20:17) | Dylan Oakley

    Unchecked covetousness is the fuel for unchecked sin. We all need to check our hearts and repent of any covetousness.

  11. Don't Lie (Exodus 20:16) | Zeke Sher

    Sinful humans are liars. God loves truth and hates deception. Our students need to be challenged and corrected by God’s simple law against bearing false witness against their brothers.

  12. Don't Steal (Exodus 20:15) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Admit that theft is a huge problem and commit to dealing honestly with the things that don’t belong to you.

  13. Don't Commit Adultery (Exodus 20:14) | True North High School Ministry | Pastor John Fabarez

    The seventh commandment is intended to urge married men and women to be sexually faithful to each other for life. Our students are in a different phase of life, but they need to prepare for faithfulness by practicing purity of heart and life now before they get married.

  14. A Renewed Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 4 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

    A Renewed Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 4 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

  15. A New Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 3 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

    A New Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 3 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

  16. A Convicted Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 2 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

    A Convicted Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 2 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

  17. A Depraved Heart | Revival 2026 | Session 1 | Pastor Mike Fabarez

  18. Don't Murder (Exodus 20:13) | True North High School Ministry | Pastor John Fabarez

    Because God made mankind in his image, he forbids murder (the unjustified taking of a human life). We studied what the Bible calls murder and the killing that is not condemned as murder. And our students were warned about the hateful murder of the heart that we are all guilty of and need to forsake.

  19. Honor Parents (Exodus 20:12) | True North High School Ministry | Pastor John Fabarez

    God commands his people to honor their father and their mother for life. This looks like humble obedience and deference during childhood, and ongoing support and care into adulthood. Praying for this sermon to help your children respect and obey you more from now on.

  20. Sabbath Day (Exodus 20:8-11) | Pastor John Fabarez

    God instituted the seventh day as a day of rest and worship for Israel to remember him and to stop their work. While Christ fulfills the Sabbath and we no longer follow it as a ceremony, there are important lessons for us to learn about work, rest, and worship from the Sabbath passages.

  21. God's Name (Exodus 20:7) | Dylan Oakley

    God gives clear instructions about the improper way to speak of him, about him, and to him. Yet most people today blatantly disregard his instructions and Christians should never be the ones to use God’s name wrongly.

  22. No Idols (Exodus 20:4-6) | Ashton Jacobs

    God demands the sole worship of his people and we need to be careful that nothing else takes his place in our devotion.

  23. The Only God (Exodus 20:1-3) | Pastor John Fabarez

    God’s ten most famous commandments were uttered loudly and written in stone for people to study, repeat, memorize, and obey. The first and most important command is to exclusively worship the one true God. He deserves all the devotion of our hearts!

  24. Safe Arrival (2 Timothy 4:16-22) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul ends his final letter by describing the closeness of the Lord Jesus he experienced in his final difficulties of life. Our students need to trust Christ more than people, just like Paul did!

  25. Josiah's Stumbling Finish (2 Chronicles 34-35) | Ashton Jacobs

    King Josiah was a godly man who met a sad end at only 39 years old. We can take important warnings that Josiah ignored so we can remain more faithful to God.

  26. The Scars of Ministry (2 Timothy 4:9-15) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul describes a number of people and relationships he had in his ministry that we can learn from. He suffered well and we can too!

  27. Crossing The Finish Line (2 Timothy 4:6-8) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul says that he finished his Christian work and that he looks back on his life with no regrets. Our students would be wise to live now so they won’t regret it later.

  28. The Preaching of the Word (2 Timothy 4:1-5) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul commands Timothy to preach the word (expository preaching) to guide the people in the church and we need to value this kind of good teaching when we hear it!

  29. Manasseh's Second Chance (2 Chronicles 33:1-20) | Ashton Jacobs

    We should learn from Manasseh’s life to humble ourselves and submit to the God who is in control whether we like it or not.

  30. The Power of the Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul explains that Timothy should keep going back to the Bible because it comes from God and it is powerful to effect change in the believers life. We need to act like it by reading and meditating on it this week!

  31. Tried and True (2 Timothy 3:10-13) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul shamelessly tells Timothy to follow his patterns of life and character in the last days. May our students find godly examples in us as their parents that God has sovereignty placed in their life!

  32. Signs of the Times (2 Timothy 3:1-9) | Pastor John Fabarez

    With the world full of sin and sinners who seem to be getting worse, our students need to have a biblical expectation about life as a Christian in a hostile world.

  33. Choose Your Battles (2 Timothy 2:23-26) | Pastor John Fabarez

    A servant of the Lord is called to defend the truth, but to do so in a kind way towards the opponents of the truth because God may save them! It matters how we act towards the enemies of the gospel because they might become our spiritual brothers and sisters.

  34. Becoming Useful (2 Timothy 2:19-22) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Become a more useful servant for Christ in his church by keeping clear from disqualifying sins and practicing Christlike character qualities.

  35. Workers in the Word (2 Timothy 2:14-18) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul commands Timothy to keep people out of false teaching by not engaging in worthless controversies, but instead to be a diligent Bible student and teacher. Our teenagers need to take this seriously now to set up a fruitful Christian life.

  36. Motivation to Work (2 Timothy 2:8-13) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul motivates Timothy to endure the suffering involved in gospel ministry by reminding him of some essential truths to keep him going. Our students should take strength in these doctrines as well.

  37. Sacrifice of Praise (Hebrews 13:12-15) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Revival: Winter Edition 2026 - Session 4

  38. Assurance in the Blood (Hebrews 10:19-23) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Revival: Winter Edition 2026 - Session 3

  39. Blood Shed for You (Hebrews 10:1-14) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Revival: Winter Edition 2026 - Session 2

  40. A Blood Sacrifice (Hebrews 9:22) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Revival: Winter Edition 2026 - Session 1

  41. Christian Characters (2 Timothy 2:3-7) | Pastor John Fabarez

    The Christian worker is compared to a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer. All of these positions require intense commitment and work to be successful. Timothy as a minister need to be totally committed to his work, and our students as young Christians should devote themselves to working for Christ...

  42. Pass It On (2 Timothy 2:1-2) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul begins a strong series of exhortations to Timothy to boldly teach and lead God’s people. His first big assignment is to pass the knowledge he gained from Paul on to other trustworthy learners.

  43. The Right Kind of Friend | True Women | Alexandra Fabarez

    The Right Kind of Friend | True Women | True North High School Ministry | Alexandra Fabarez

  44. Fickle or Faithful Friends (2 Timothy 1:15-18) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul tells Timothy about the people who abandoned him as well as the one man that stood by his side named Onesiphorus. He will serve as a good example for Timothy to follow, and our students should follow it today!

  45. An Epic Responsibility (2 Timothy 1:6-14) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Paul highlights the importance of Timothy’s ministry assignment from God, and commands him to be bold and unashamed of the gospel. Our students will receive ministry assignments from God as they grow up, and they need to step up and take them instead of choosing the easier path of least effort…

  46. The Beloved Child (2 Timothy 1:1-5) | Pastor John Fabarez

    We studied the background and situation of Paul’s second letter to Timothy. Then we learned about how to express love for other Christians from Paul’s example in the first five verses of the letter.

  47. Uzziah's Pride Problem (2 Chronicles 26) | Ashton Jacobs

    The Old Testament King Uzziah was very blessed by God but grew proud and defied God’s priestly rules and his priests. Then God struck him with leprosy and exiled him because of his pride. Our students need to learn that their pride is also self-destructive and must be guarded against!

  48. The Light (John 1:4-13) | Pastor John Fabarez

    Jesus is called the true light that gives light and the new birth to all who receive him by faith. This Christmas, it is crucial that our students are not like those people who are blind to Jesus or those who willingly reject him.

  49. The Word (John 1:1-3,14-18) | Pastor Mark Kelley

    Pastor Mark joined us in True North this morning to teach us from John 1 about why Jesus is called “the Word” and what it means for us.

  50. The Final Promise (Revelation 22:6-21) | Pastor John Fabarez

    The Bible ends with three direct promises from Jesus that he will return soon. His return should captivate the hearts of our students and change the way they view everything in their life!
