1 Cor.5 is one of the only verses in the New Testament that speaks to the corporate discipline of a churchgoing believer.

Listen as Ps. Shawn begins to shine new light on this passage and break down the traditional interpretation of this passage. Put on your seatbelt and get ready for a fun ride.

Any serious discussion on Discipline has to include Hebrews 12. This also happens to be the one place that people point to to prove that Father God is a punisher. Join Ps. Shawn as he dives into a verse by verse excavation of verses 1-6 in an effort to answer that very question. Is God a punisher who scourges His children?

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find mercy. Have you ever considered how much mercy you have stored up in your account because of your sowing and reaping? God isn't calling us to be something that He is not. He's calling us to be merciful, because He is merciful.

He is the Fruit | Core Values Series | Father Heart of God
Monday Aug 01, 2022
Monday Aug 01, 2022
Galatians chapter 5 lists the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is fruit is made manifest in our lives when we are in sync with God. But this list also describes who He is and how He relates to His people. Because God is never out of sync with His own character, this list becomes a good metric to determine whether we are believing a lie about God. It also happens to be a good metric to determine if someone is truly operating in the name of Jesus or by some other authority.

Core Values are the guiding principals through which you interpret all of life. They aren't just good ideas; they are literally the driving force behind what you think and why you think what you do. In this series we will explore Harvest Church's core values, but in doing so, I think that you will find that our values are actually kingdom values. So, embark with us on a journey of discovering God and His kingdom values again in this challenging and refreshing series.
