This week's message was a profound exploration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its eternal significance. Pastor Dave's words reminded us of the transformative power of faith and the hope that springs from the resurrection. Here are some key takeaways: The Significance of the Resurrection: Pastor Dave highlighted that the resurrection of Jesus is not just a historical event but the cornerstone of our faith, making possible countless resurrections to eternal life for those who believe in Him. Eternal Hope: Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4, we were reminded that for Christians, death is not the end but a transition to eternal life. This hope should transform our grief and fill us with joy and anticipation. Living a Transformed Life: The resurrection calls us to live changed lives, not just on Easter but every day. Our belief in the risen Lord should be evident in our daily actions and attitudes, as we are called to worship and follow Him wholeheartedly.

The Cross - The Victory of Easter Series Sermon by Dave Purdy, Lead Pastor | NorthWinds Church – West Salem, Ohio The cross is the central moment of the Christian faith—but it was never an accident or a last-minute solution. In this message from The Victory of Easter series, Pastor Dave Purdy explores how the cross was always part of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. From the earliest pages of Scripture, God revealed His intention to rescue the world through Jesus Christ. Beginning in Book of Genesis 3:15—often called the first proclamation of the Gospel—the Bible points forward to a coming Savior who would defeat sin and the enemy. This promise unfolds throughout the story of Scripture, from the symbolism of the Passover lamb in Book of Exodus 12 to the fulfillment of God’s plan through the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The cross is not a symbol of defeat, but the ultimate demonstration of God’s love, justice, and victory over sin. In this message we explore: • The first promise of the Gospel in Genesis 3:15 and God’s plan for redemption • How the Passover lamb foreshadows the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross • Why the cross was necessary for the forgiveness of sin • How Jesus’ victory over sin and death brings hope and freedom today • What it means for believers to live in the fullness of Christ’s finished work The cross reveals both the seriousness of sin and the depth of God’s love for humanity. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, forgiveness is possible, victory over sin is secured, and new life is offered to all who believe. This message invites us to look again to the cross and discover the life-changing hope found in Christ.

Two Triumphal Entries - The Victory of Easter Series Sermon by Dave Purdy, Lead Pastor | NorthWinds Church – West Salem, Ohio In this message from our Victory of Easter series, Pastor Dave Purdy reflects on the significance of The Triumphal Entry, often celebrated on Palm Sunday. As Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowds welcomed Him with praise, laying palm branches before Him and proclaiming Him as King. Yet this moment reveals far more than a celebration—it reveals the mission and identity of Jesus Christ. The triumphal entry fulfilled prophecy and demonstrated that Jesus came as a humble King bringing salvation to the world. While many expected a political deliverer, Jesus entered Jerusalem to accomplish a far greater victory through the cross and resurrection. In this message we explore: • The significance of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday • How the triumphal entry fulfilled Old Testament prophecy • The contrast between people’s expectations and Jesus’ true mission • What it means to recognize Jesus as our King today • How the events leading to Easter reveal God’s plan of redemption The triumphal entry reminds us that Jesus is not only the Savior who came in humility, but the King who deserves our worship and our allegiance.

Alpha & Omega: A Study of the Books of Genesis and Revelation Sermon by Dave Purdy, Lead Pastor | NorthWinds Church – West Salem, Ohio In this message from our Alpha & Omega series, Pastor Dave Purdy explores the profound truth found in Genesis 1:26–31—that humanity was created in the image and likeness of God. From the very beginning, God uniquely designed people to reflect His character, authority, and purpose in the world. Unlike the rest of creation, mankind was intentionally formed to bear God’s image. This foundational truth shapes how we understand our identity, our purpose, and our relationship with our Creator. This sermon examines what it truly means to be made in God’s image and how that truth impacts our lives today. In this message we explore: • What it means that humanity was created in God’s image • Why people are uniquely set apart within God’s creation • How sin has marred—but not erased—the image of God in us • Why Jesus perfectly reveals the image of the invisible God • How the Holy Spirit works to restore God’s image in believers Though sin has distorted the image of God within us, Scripture reminds us that God is continually transforming His people. Through the work of the Spirit, believers are being shaped more and more into the likeness of Christ. As we follow Jesus and submit to His work in our lives, we become clearer reflections of God’s love, truth, and righteousness to the world around us.

Alpha & Omega: A Study of the Books of Genesis and Revelation Sermon by Dave Purdy, Lead Pastor | NorthWinds Church – West Salem, Ohio In this message from our Alpha & Omega series, Pastor Dave Purdy explores the opening verses of the Bible and the foundational truth found in Genesis 1:1–5: “In the beginning, God.” These words establish the authority of Scripture and remind us that God is eternal, powerful, and the Creator of all things. Genesis begins not with an argument for God’s existence, but with the declaration that He has always been. As we study the creation account, we are reminded that the universe did not come from nothing or by chance—everything begins with God and is sustained by His power and His Word. This sermon examines the significance of God’s creative authority and what it means for how we understand truth, morality, and our place in the world. In this message we explore: • The meaning and significance of “In the beginning, God” • The power and authority of God’s Word in creation • An overview of the seven days of creation in Genesis • Why acknowledging God as Creator shapes how we view life and truth • How believers are called to live under the authority of God’s Word If God created the world, then it ultimately belongs to Him. That truth invites us to trust His design, follow His guidance, and live in alignment with the purposes He has established from the very beginning.

Alpha & Omega: A Study of the Books of Genesis and Revelation Sermon by Dave Purdy, Lead Pastor | NorthWinds Church – West Salem, Ohio In Part 2 of This is Jesus, Pastor Dave Purdy continues our Alpha & Omega series with a powerful look at the vision of Christ revealed in Revelation 1. While Jesus’ first coming was marked by humility and servanthood, the apostle John’s vision reveals the risen and exalted Christ in all His glory, authority, and majesty. In Revelation 1:12–20, John describes a breathtaking picture of Jesus that reminds us who He truly is — the eternal Son of God, the victorious Savior, and the One who holds authority over life, death, and eternity. This message explores what John saw and why it matters for our faith today. In this sermon, we reflect on: • The contrast between Jesus’ humble earthly ministry and His exalted glory • The powerful imagery describing Christ in Revelation 1 • What John’s response teaches us about the holiness of God • Jesus’ authority over death and Hades • The hope and security believers have through faith in Christ When John encountered the risen Jesus, he fell at His feet in awe. Yet Jesus responded with words of reassurance: “Do not be afraid.” The same Savior who holds all authority also offers hope, grace, and eternal life to those who trust in Him. As we continue exploring the Book of Revelation, this message reminds us that our faith is anchored in the victorious and eternal Jesus.
