Harvest Church

Easter 23

Jesus is the solution for the human sin condition. We were lost and hopeless, but God broke in!  

Circumcision of the Heart

In the same way that circumcision of the flesh in the Old Testament marked a distinction between believers and non-believers, circumcision of the heart in the New Testament also marks a distinction.  You are a new creation.  The old is gone.  When you said yes to Jesus, your heart was circumcised and your "body of flesh" was removed.  Join us in this Palm Sunday message to discover just how new you truly are.  

Our Act of Worship

We are made to worship. The question is, what are we worshiping? Listen this week as Ps. Shawn breaks down some of the benefits of musical worship, as well as that of a lifestyle of worship and what that looks like in a believer's life.

A Lifestyle of Worship | Core Value Series: Worship

At its core, biblical worship involves the heart. It is the laying down of our lives in adoration. Then from the heart connected place of adoration, we serve Him. As believers, we are called to a lifestyle of worship, and that looks like more than a song sung on Sundays. It's a wholistic shift to make Jesus the center of our lives, where, because we adore Him, we seek to please Him with every aspect of our lives.

He Doesn’t Need Our Worship | Core Value Series: Worship

Did you know that God designed worship? It's not because He needs it or because it somehow makes Him feel more secure in His leadership, however. Worship is something that we get to do. In fact, it can be an involuntary response when we are invested at the level that God's goodness demands.

Accessing His Presence | Core Value Series: Presence

There is fullness of joy (happiness) in God's presence, and God gives us explicit instructions on how to come into His presence.

Compromise Compromises Presence | Core Value Series: Presence

The corporate presence of God comes when we as a body are living consecrated lives before the Lord.  We must shed "mixture" and "compromise", and stop avoiding and neglecting our pursuit of holiness, particularly as it relates to specific struggles we have.  As priests we are called to be set apart so that we can serve God and truly love man as we have been called.  

Presence | Core Value Series: Presence

We know that God is omnipresent, which means that He is literally everywhere at once. But did you know that you can walk with God in such a way as to regularly experience His manifest presence? We were designed by God to abide in Him and that is something that goes beyond our natural intellect. We have to begin to sharpen our spirits to lead and discern His presence and His moving.

Transparency & Vulnerability | Core Value Series

What do we mean by transparency and vulnerability?  What does that look like in a church environment?  Join us this week as Ps. Misty takes us a little deeper into this core value, explaining the difference between transparency and vulnerability, and showing how they are put on display as we relate with others.  

Vulnerability | Core Value Series

The core value of vulnerability can be broken down into three simply categories: 1. Humility 2. Teachability 3. Communication We have to get to a place where we allow the reality that none of us are ever 100% right, 100% of the time to impact the way we relate to others, particularly in conflict.
