When the disciples ask Jesus to “increase our faith,” He replies, “If you even had faith…” (Luke 17:5–10).

Turn with me to the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 15. The Gospel of Luke, chapter 15. And when you found Luke 15, go ahead and stand for this morning's gospel reading.
00:00:24
All right. Notice these words as found here recorded. And. And, by the way, only found in Luke 15. This is the only place this story occurs.
00:00:35
And so here we go. And this first part is a preface, by the way. We're going to start with 15, 1, 3, and then drop down to the middle part of 11. All right. All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus.
00:00:54
And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, this fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them. So Jesus told this parable. There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me. So he divided his property between them.
00:01:20
A few days later, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country. And there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything. A severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs.
00:01:50
He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating, and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself, he said, how many of my father's hired hands have bread enough to spare? But here I am dying of hunger. I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
00:02:21
Treat me like one of your hired hands. So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, father, I've sinned against heaven and before you.
00:02:48
I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his slaves, quickly, bring out a robe, the best one, and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet and get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.
00:03:15
And they began to celebrate. Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked, what was going on. He replied, your brother has come and your father has killed the fatted calf because he has got him back safe and sound. Then he became angry and refused to go in.
00:03:43
His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, listen, for all these years I've been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command. Yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him. Then the father said to him, son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
00:04:21
But we had to celebrate and rejoice because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life. He was lost and has been found. Jesus, thank you for this parable that came out of your lips, spoken in a certain context in the first century. Lord, would you speak out of your very lips this morning to us in this room in such a pointed way that it would turn us from a wayward way back home? We pray in your name.
00:05:00
Amen. And you can be seated.

Overview of the Trinity: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Their relationship, their roles, and reality.
Lessons we learn from the day of Pentecost and the Tower of Babel. When you contrast these two narratives with each other, we are able to see a contrast of two lives: one that is rebellious and leads to ruin and one that is redeeming that leads to reigning. When you see this redemption taking place it is clear that God is taking his people from towers, where humanity seeks to evict God; to temples where God is erected in the hearts of men!

We were created for community. Salvation is a relationship with the risen Lord, Jesus Christ. It's not transactional or mechanical, like a business deal or pulley system.

Continuing on our series on Holiness, in this sermon we continue expanding the horizon of what it means to be holy. Starting with a passage in Revelation and moving to the life of Daniel, we explore the possibilities God has called us to!

Today begins a new series on The Faith Awakens! We are going to juxtapose the five senses with five spiritual senses. First we look at faith. Can faith be seen? How can we have a faith that sees, God and others? Bartimaeus reveals how to approach Jesus when one is blind.
Today is the we remember Jesus' Baptism. Epiphany is a unique season in the church where Jesus is manifested in the flesh. Epiphany is connected to Pentecost and we must not forget it. There is no living water without the Spirit and fire!
There's a shocking claim found in the Gospels. God became a baby. What a claim. What a thought. What a reality! But what does that mean? What does it change? Pastor Marshall shares about what this baby changes.

The world is looking on. Ezekiel's call gives us guidance during troubled times. We are all called. Will we answer?
Pastor Greg Lanier is our guest preacher. He brings a message of hope, grounded in the Gospel, called, "The Answer to the Question." Listen in and act upon these words.
We are called to leave a legacy. Not of worldly value but of Spiritual. The fruit of the Spirit and other righteous acts, acts of love will last. Strive not for the things of this world, which are passing away, but on heavenly things. Then you too can leave a legacy behind and blaze a path for others.
When you look back, what do you see? What have you left behind? Who's following? When you look ahead, what are you following? How can we leave an imprint that others can follow in, an imprint that leads to Jesus? Listen in as we look at Psalm 119.

Grounding ourselves in the Old Testament and particularly moving through Leviticus, we see righteousness performed in Israel through one big day, the Day of Atonement. Is the Old Testament useful? Is it a Jewish book? How does one become righteous? These and many more are addressed in today's sermon.
Blood, guts, entrails, burning, cutting and such. Sounds like a horror movie! It's Leviticus. That book that is so misunderstood. We open up with chapter one and connect it to our series on Righteousness. Listen in to what Leviticus has to say to you, today!

What is the greatest challenge a person can pursue? Being a woman or man of God! How do we do that? By doing the Beatitudes. Listen in to this sermon that is sure to make you happy!
Our biblical formula for happiness must include joy. Starting with Zephaniah we begin a journey into what really brings joy and happiness into our lives.
We dive deeper into defining what our modern context believes about the term "happy" and how the Hebrews and early Christians would have understood their terms for that word. True happiness deals with being an upright person. Following God's Law. Loving God and others. In short, to be happy one must be holy.
As we continue our series on Happiness, we look today at values. Having purpose, goals, dreams and visions brings great happiness to our life. When our heart is goals are aligned with God's, then you've got a recipe for happiness. What do we value? Listen in as we list out core biblical values.
We start a new sermon series today on the Pursuit of Happiness. What is happiness? Can we be happy? Is happiness talked about in the Bible? What is the difference between Happiness and Blessedness? Listen in as we unfold a series bound to make you happy!

Today is the last Sunday of Epiphany, Transfiguration Sunday. As we move into the season of Lent and take that journey together we look at the journey Jesus took for us, one that begins in the Old Testament. Listen in as we are challenged to take the first step of faith on whatever journey Jesus is calling us to.
The Bible can be very negative at times. Negativity can be a good thing. Parents are often seen as negative from a kids perspective. Warnings are good too. Jesus in John 15 gives a serous warning. Listen in to this powerful passage of Scripture and see what God might say to you in those words.
What does God want? What is God's will? Can we know it? Can we do it? Listen in as we open up a powerful pericope from Jesus' sermon on the mount.
"I chose you..." Jesus says in John 15. We are the elect. Those chosen by Jesus. But chosen for what? Jesus is clear about the "what". It may not be what you expected. Listen in to gain perspective on this powerful passage of Scripture.

As we move into the season of Epiphany, we look at the Wise Men. Simply put, if we are wise we'll do what they did. They sought Jesus. How? Listen in as Pastor Marshall shares from Matthew 2:1-13.
Its a new year! We have an opportunity to seize the moment. To make the best of 2015. What better way than to focus on God's presence in our life? Seek His face anew this year. Be with the ones you love. Presence makes a difference.
Time is life and life is made of time. Jesus entered time and space for us. He redeemed time and so must we. This year we have an opportunity to not waste our life. We can make Jesus center and redeem the time! We can say yes to his Kingdom work!
Jesus' coming is quite a surprise. Rereading the story and seeing it acted out by the children of Harvest Pointe reminds one of the surprising nature of this narrative. How do we respond to this surprise, this present from God? There's only one right response: faith.
If we are to be saved from sin...from our self, we must unite with Christ. All things unite in Him and in Him all things hold together. We must be one with God as Jesus prayed in John 17. The Good News: we can.

Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount tells us not to be anxious. That is saying something! Our world is full of anxiety. Jesus answer is this: seek first the kingdom of God. Listen in as we get a glimpse of that kingdom.
What is a saint? Continuing our series on Kingship we look this Sunday at the call to be holy. We look to Saint David. Israel was called to be a holy nation and the church is holy. There is no holiness without social holiness as John Wesley put it.
Continuing our series on Kingship, today we look at unity. Unity is something we need. Psalm 133 calls for unity. Throughout the Bible God calls us to unity with him, others and our self.
Ever been ruled by a king? Americans don't know much about that. The Bible sees all people coming under the rulership of one King. Over the next few weeks we are unpacking what that means.
Experience is powerful in our life. Coming from Exodus three, we see Moses has a powerful experience with Yahweh. A defining moment where God breaks in.
Ever get busy, anxious and harried with life? Jesus tells us what is necessary. Listen in and then sit at the Master's feet.
Never give up. Live life in the Spirit. It's not about selling Christianity. We proclaim Jesus, not ourselves. God has hidden his witness in the world in fragile clay jars. What a Savior to choose us! Listen in to hear what else Paul tells us.
Friend Day at Harvest Pointe! We look today at the power of sight in a narrative from the Gospel of Matthew of two blind men. These men couldn't see physically but they saw something others couldn't!
What is God's power? Where does one find it at work? The church is God's presence in the world. Jesus is the founder and the apostles are the foundation. God is going to use people, his Church. The Church is on the offensive against hell itself. Listen in!
Looking at the beginning we see clearly that it was not good for man to be alone. We were created for others: God, humans, and creation. Join us in a message about the power of communion.
Coming from the crescendo of Romans chapter eight we look at power in the Spirit. God's power is creative, even recreative! God is a relationship of love and has power to form our relationships and bond them together by the one Spirit. Listen in as pastor Marshall points to the Spirit, who is the Power of God in us!
Another miracle, another display of authority and another sign that Jesus is God over all things. Matthew brings this into focus with a story of two demon possessed men. Join us as we dig down into this text.
Miracles have purpose. St. Matthew stacks miracles together in his Gospel for the purpose of showing us some things about Jesus. In this pericope we look at two miracles concerning two ladies, one twelve years old and the other with an ailment of twelve years. Both are seen as unclean by Jewish law. They both need Jesus' touch. One reaches out while the other Jesus reaches. Jesus offers his healing resurrection power!

Pulling application from Acts twenty, pastor Marshall preaches a pointed message on remaining awake. Listen in as this story has implications for all Christians and people.
The Bible records a fascinating episode from Paul's life. He goes to the high court, the Areopagus to present his "new ideas". We can relate to this! This is for Athens, Alabama as much as it was Athens Greece.
There are dangers to living in the "Bible Belt". Just like ancient Israel, there are temptations that we fall into that lead us away from God. Jesus tells a story of two sons and only one does the will of the father.
Billy Coppedge and his family visited Harvest Pointe and shared with us about what God is doing with them! Coppedge preached an excellent message on the Transfiguration.

It's the Day of Pentecost! The birth of the Church. The descent of the Spirit. The promise fulfilled! Listen in as we hear about how the Spirit is given to all.
Waiting is not fun. Waiting is something we all must do. But why does God make us wait? He tells his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they receive power from on high. Why not give them the Spirit now? Listen in as we discover what God is doing!
Jesus spent time on the beach after his resurrection and so did our family recently. Listen in to some insights gained from our family vacation!

Continuing our series on post-resurrection happenings before Pentecost, we turn to the women in the Gospel stories. They were first to the tomb. Listen in to how God enabled women in his salvific plan! Happy Mother's Day!
After Easter Jesus wants us to feed his sheep. We are called to others. Jesus did what he did for others, not himself. Jesus obeys the Father, the Spirit is sent by the Father and Son and so each is other-focused. After Easter we turn our attention to others. Jesus does this for Peter in our passage today.
After Easter, what? Sometimes after a big event, like Easter, we find ourselves alone and back in the normal routine of things. What should we be about? Listen in as we look at a passage in John 21 that points us in the right direction.
Starting in Isaiah we talk about Easter and our oft-akward responses to this holy day. Without Easter there is no Christianity. We must arise, just as He IS risen! Listen in to our Easter sermon and "turn" to Jesus!
We finish our series on striving with the basics. What are the basics? Jesus and his cross. Listen in as we look at Mark eight.
Fast approaching Holy Week and the end of our Lenten fast we look at the subject of suffering. Just as Jesus suffered and died in order to resurrect so to will we. Listen in as we navigate through this ubiquitously asked question on the meaning of suffering starting from 2 Corinthians 4.
Ephesians six is a memorable text about spiritual warfare and striving against the Enemy. We are meant to be armed as Christians. What's the focus of the passage? Warfare and how to fight the evil One? No. Jesus and the Spirit are. Listen in as we take a new look at a well known text.
During Lent we strive to be more like Christ through fasting and self-denial. Prayer is the Christian life. We must learn to strive in prayer like little children in order to enter into the fulness of Jesus!
Listen in to this Lenten oriented sermon series on striving against the flesh and being alive to the Spirit and the spiritual around us. We need a heavenly vision like Elisha had! God bless you as you move closer to the Savior!
John Mark is matter-of-fact in his bare bones approach to revealing the Gospel of Jesus. Already in chapter one he introduces Jesus' authority over the unseen world: the demonic. We start a new series today entitled "strive". We are in a larger story than we ever imagined. Jesus remains the center of all things, both visible and invisible. Listen in to this needed reminder.
We all need mountain top experiences that push us forward through tough times. The Disciples receive a one of a kind event when Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up on a high mountain and is transfigured before them. Listen in to what these events mean for us and all believers.
Everything Jesus does in the Scriptures is revelatory. Nothing is there by accident. The calling of the Twelve is no different. Jesus becomes the new Jacob. This passage also brings us to the core of what discipleship is all about. Listen and respond to Jesus!
Jesus was the best of preachers. He preached the best sermons. The Sermon on the Mount may be his most well known sermon. We look at how Jesus was concerned with keeping first things first. Listen in and see what else this sermon teaches us and how it changes us!
As we are marching through different episodes of Jesus' life, we look today at the Temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Epiphany is a time of moving from darkness to light and this text reveals much light on Jesus and what he comes to do. This is a powerful scene in the life of Jesus. Listen in as we discover the truths of this pericope.
We look at another vignette from Jesus' life that reveals to us the mystery of God. This is an ancient feast day in Christianity. It is the feast of the Presentation or the Encounter. Jesus, at forty days old, encounters Simeon and Anna in the temple. Listen in to see what all Jesus shows to us!
In this sermon we look at Jesus' flight to Egypt. This is a significant passage that reveals (Epiphany) some things about us and about what Jesus comes to do.
The Baptism of our Lord is the focal point of today's worship. John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, is clear that Jesus' baptism is more than water and repentance. Jesus' baptism is going to be with the Holy Spirit and fire! We need that baptism. We must experience the Holy Spirit and the fire that he brings!
In this sermon we look at four scenes from Jesus' early life. If one were to study the founder of any religion, there would need to be a study of the founders early life. So too with Jesus, the founder of our faith. Listen in as Jesus comes into perspective in our life for 2014.
It is Christmastime! We have two Sundays of Christmas, then we transition to a new season in the church - Epiphany. Today pull together all four Gospel accounts of Jesus and listen to what St. Paul says in relation to that in Ephesians. It's all encapsulated in a simple symbol we often see, Ichthus - the Jesus fish. Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior.
Finishing up our prepration for Christmas...we look today at the Gospel according to St. Luke. We see yet again another perspective of Jesus and his birth. We see that the Savior of all is born unto us! Rejoice with us as you listen.
Looking at the different Gospel perspectives on Jesus, we now move to St. John. The first part of the fourth Gospel is some of the highest words ever spoken about Jesus. Listen and discover the Son of God.
The Gospel according to St. Matthew showed us the high King of heaven, clothed in flesh. St. Mark will now show us just how far he comes down to rescue us. This theme of descent to ascent shapes a "V" for victory! Join us as we see the Servant of all, Jesus.
Starting at the beginning of the New Testament, we look at the genealogy of Jesus and connect that back to Ruth and other Old Testament stories to see why it is that these ancestral lists are important. Listen in as we look at a bunch of names that point to Jesus and his birth!
This is the completion of our series on Ruth. What redemption is here! What a beautiful story of God's redeeming of a family. Listen in as we link this text with Samuel and David and the coming of Jesus Christ himself!
In this fifth installation of "Redeeming Ruth" we look at the redemption of Ruth by Boaz. Through a strong plan and clever means Boaz secures Elimelech's inheritance and his love, Ruth. Listen in as we see how the first part of chapter four points us to Jesus!
This is the fourth installation of our series on Redeeming Ruth for our time and to our lives. This is a beautiful story of love and honor. We cover chapter three of the story in this message. Listen in as we look at this engagement of Ruth and Boaz and see how this applies to our life in Jesus.
Digging deeper into Ruth we move to chapter two where Ruth and Boaz meet. It just so happened that she was in the right field at the right time. Was it chance, fate, or luck? Or was it providence? Listen in as we discover chapter two of this short story!
Continuing our series on Ruth we look at chapter one and the suffering experienced there. Naomi hits the bottom, she is emptied out. Was that God's will for her? Listen in as we look at the suffering of Naomi and what that means for us.
Ruth is a beautiful book of redemption tucked away in the Old Testament between Judges and Samuel. We start a series on Redeeming Ruth for our time. When times get dark (Judges) even the slightest light shines forth bright (Ruth). In evil times the "ordinary" can become extra-ordinary for God!
We had the pleasure of having Dr John Neihof speak to Harvest Pointe. Dr John is the new president of Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, MS. Listen in to a message that unites holiness and marriage in a biblical way.
This is the final installation of our Ten Commandment series. Listen in to this deep seated command. Coveting goes to the heart of the matter and that makes it a unique command among others. The Good News: Jesus can cleanse us from coveting by giving us a heart of thankfulness!
The ninth command deals with not lying. Each command has a prohibition, something it protects, and ultimately points to a person. Listen in as we move through this very important command.
The eighth commandment may seem easy to follow until you get down to the heart of the matter. Jesus always takes us there. You may see that you've been stolen from and that you too, steal. There's only one gate by which we enter, any other way is thievery.
We take a break from our series to best speak to our guests and friends. God loves you. But we forget that, we refuse it, or we ignore him. Listen in as we see signs of God's love all around us and are challenged to respond to his love with faith and an open heart.
Continuing on our sermon series of "The Big Ten" we look at adultery. We link this command to the New Testament to see what Jesus adds to this law and what it's protecting.
Continuing our series on the Big Ten, we look at one that we may not think is applicable to us. Jesus makes this command relevant to the way we treat people around us. Listen in to this eighth installment on the Ten Commands.
The fith word from God is a transitional command. It moves us into the sphere of love for neighbor. The first four commands are vertical in orientation - dealing with God. The last six are horizontally aimed at others. The fifth command dealing with the family - the building block of any community.
Pushing forward with our series on the Ten Commandments, we look at the fourth word to us. This is a command many think of as irrelavent today. Listen in as we reveal the reason for the Sabbath and how we can remember it and make it holy today.
What's in a name? What did the Jews hear when God told them this command? How does this relate to what Jesus came to do? Listen in as we are challenged to look deeper at the name of God and what that means for us.
Seeing the second commandment in a whole new light we look at idolatry in the Old Testament, New Testament, and today. Idol worship isn't dead. Listen in to God's Good News about being free from an idolatrous heart!
The first commandment sets the tone for all the others. But is it relevant for today? Are there other gods? Join us as we discover the gods of the third millennium.
How does the New Testament view the Ten Commands? What about Jesus? Listen in and see how Jesus and the Newer Covenant tunes up the Law.
Are the Ten Commandments relevant for today? Does God actually expect us to obey them? Is obedience possible? Listen in as we look at these ten standards that generalize the law.
Does God expect us to obey him and his commandments? Is that even possible? According to Jesus, yes. "If you love me, keep my commandments." Listen in as we come face to face with our loving Father through his commands and the Help(er) he sends!
As we approach July 4th we think of liberty and freedom. That idea has been spread all over the world through the freedom found in our nation. That idea of freedom has a foundation. It is grounded in Christ.
This is the last sermon in our series, "The Church is..." Listen in as we drive the message of this series home.
Biblically and historically there have been four marks of the church, namely that it's one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. This sermon focuses on the fourth mark of the church. Is this scriptural? According to St. Paul, yes. Listen in!
"I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church..." Is this just for Roman Catholics to say? Listen in as we begin to see why it is that the church is called catholic.
Continuing on our series, "The Church Is" we look at what it means, and how it could be, that the church is holy.
We continue our series on "The Church is..." Unity is not a side issue in the Bible. Unity only come from God's Spirit (Ephesians 4:3). Afterall, God himself is a Triunity creating us for union and placing us in the community of God!
We started a new series entitled: "The Church Is". Today's sermon was about the church being born, recorded in Acts 2:1-21. In this sermon pastor Daigre explores some of the key events that brought about the "mighty rushing wind" of the Spirit and draws some applications for someone interested in having their own Pentecost experience.
Continuing our series on atonement, we look today at Christus Victor! Jesus has won us over - redeemed us - from sin and death. He is our victory and can give us victory over sin.
Coming from Romans 3 we look once again at the atonement of Christ and what that event means for us. Today we look at how God satisfied God's requirement - how God's holiness meets God's love in the person of Jesus Christ. "Righteousness and peace kiss." (Psalm 85:10)
Today we continue with our series on Atonement. This is the third installment in the series. We look today at Romans 5 and its implications for our understanding of God's great salvation. How Jesus reverses the curse and turns us around, making the way possible, to be at-one with God!
What makes the Good News so good? The bad reality we find ourselves in: sin. We have fallen a long way. Sin is deep. But praise be to God, his grace is deeper still! We don't have to live in our natural state. We can live supernaturally by God's Spirit!
Today we begin a new series on atonement that will lead us into Pentecost. Join us as we search out the meaning of Jesus' death for us. "'He died' is a fact. 'For us' is the meaning of that fact." (Thomas Oden)
Easter Sunday's message of hope and new beginnings. After forty days of fasting we celebrate and feast on this most holy day. Listen in as we look at 1 Corinthians 15 and speak of the meaning of the resurrection.
Between the shouts, "Hosanna" on Palm Sunday and the "Hallelujahs" of Easter Sunday there is the cross. The way of the cross is the way of life according to Jesus. We examine Jesus' words in John 12:20-26 in this sermon and point to Jesus' way - the cross.
Our fourth sermon on prayer is dealing with intimacy with God. This is the ultimate "end" of our praying. Praying isn't just asking but it's communion as we become one with God as Jesus prayed in John 17. We begin with Jesus' sermon on the mount in Matthew 6.
Continuing to focus on prayer, we look today to a powerful reding from Genesis 18. With God's help, Abraham intercedes and begins a work that all believers are called to - a kingdom of preists.
Dealing with the subject of prayer, again, we look at 1 John 5:13-15. God wants us to learn to ask, ask with confidence, and to ask for our dreams - his dreams for us - to come true. If only we'd ask.
John 17 is Jesus' last recorded prayer and his longest. As we move through our Lenten fast, we pray. Let's start with Jesus as we begin to look at what it is to pray. It's time we got back to the basics!
Coming from Colossians 2:8-15, Nathan White brings a message that is Christ-focused. We need Jesus to make us alive and to help us to walk in his fullness. The point: it's about Jesus.
AIM Director Gary Briden shares from God's word on the question: Why are we here? It was encouraging for us to have him and for him to see the work God is doing among us!
Coming from Ephesians we look at two sacraments Jesus has institued for us to remember him by. These two mysteries are grace for us as we participate by faith.
We continue to preach about the manifestation of Christ (Epiphany). Today we focus on Christ making manifest the Father and subsequently the family.
Looking at Abraham's call, we dive into what it means to be elected and blessed. It's not for ourselves! God always has his eye on the nations - all peoples.
Today we continue to observe the Epiphany of the Christ and what that means for us! The Good News today focuses on us being elect in Jesus.
Today we remember the Epiphany of our Lord - the revealing of Jesus to the Gentiles. The Magi are the first Gentiles to see this manifestation of God in the flesh. Listen in as we discuss this manifestation and its significance for our time.
In this sermon we explore what we need to be about in 2013! This sermon isn't trying to be novel, rather getting down to the basics of our discipleship and seeing what is important and how to keep it important in a new year!
The third installation of sermons on four titles for Jesus during Advent: Son of Man, Son of God, Son of David, and Son of Mary.
Today's sermon begins a series of four sermons on four titles for Jesus from the Scriptures: Son of Man, Son of God, Son of David, and Son of Mary.
Christ is King is the proclamation made on this day. As we move next week to Advent we revisit once more to seeing Jesus as our King. We look forward to that day when we'll realize that it'll all be worth it - the Day of the Lord.
Jesus teaches us to pray "Thy kingdom come". Jesus begins his ministry with this message, "The kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the Gospel". What is the kingdom of God? What does it look ilke? How do we participate in it "on eartth as it is in heaven".
In this second sermon on God as King, we talk about the Israelite kingdom God set up on earth that foreshadows the true King.
November begins a series on God as King. We begin with a psalm, Psalm 8, dealing with his majestic name.
This is the third message of a three-part series on different women who obeyed God in the little things and had a great impact on the big things! All three messages come from the first of Exodus.
Again come from Exodus, this time chapter two, we look at two other women who trusted God over men. Moses is the result of this obedience. We look at three ways we are "drawn out".
Coming from Exodus one we look at two women who did what was right and obeyed God rather than men...in this case the king! They knew of a more important King than him.
Brandon Watson, one of our adopted missionaries at Harvest Pointe, was with us and preached on the Gospel that has power in our life! He is a missionary to the Indians in the mountains of Mexico.
Looking back to the Old Testament practice of the shewbread - the bread of presence - we connect this to the New Testament understanding of the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ.
Based off Mark 1:1-15 we look at what two Spirit filled individuals, John the Baptist and Jesus, both preach. Repent and Believe.
Continuing the parable of the lost son, we look at the older brother and his response to his father.
Continuing our reading of the Prodigal Son. We focus today on the Heavenly Father and his love.
Many have misunderstood what "prodigal" means. In this message we contend that we all live prodigal lifestyles and this is a parable warming us and pointing us in a certain direction.
Proper 11 sermon. Backing up a bit from the passage we covered last week in Hebrews...we explore the meaning of faith and a life of faithfulness.
Proper 10 sermon. We address the issue of the race that is set before us and the cloud of witnesses that gather to cheer us on. Listen in and respond to God's word.
Coming off a weekend of prayer and focus on our church, at the Association's Annual Meeting, I try and channel some of the thoughts God challenged me on.
On Father's Day what else could we do but look to the Heavenly Father. Fathers don't define the Father, rather He defines all fathers.
We go back to the beginning for this sermon. Adam and Eve in the garden. Why did God let the fall of mankind happen. Why was it possible? This isn't a full answer but it's a start.
On this Trinity Sunday we look to the Triune God for a supernatural touch. He formed us. He made us. He must touch our lives for us to live!
The Day of Pentecost has arrived! God's Flame of Love has come down to dwell in us. What great news is this? This is God's plan from the beginning.
Looking at what the term For-Giveness means and the implications of it for our lives. There is a purpose for forgiving others - for not giving them what they deserve. Listen in and respond to God's word!
Continuing our topic of Forgiveness we address forgiveness offered to others. One of our own - Bazz Garvin - gave a testimony before the message about the death of his wife and a powerful story of forgiveness. This story is referenced some throughout this sermon.
This is the first Sunday in Lent. We are moving through the seven final words of Jesus. Join us in this seven part series as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of the resurrection on Easter morning.
The Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany's sermon is from an Old Testament story from 2 Kings 5. This story about Naaman's cleansing has an epiphany of Yahweh to the Syrians (Aramaeans) through the witness of an Israelite servant girl.
As we move toward Lent we have continued to speak about the Holy Spirit's role in our lives. Living in the Spirit springboards from Romans 8 and moves throughout the New Testament focusing on five terms used in conjunction with the Holy Spirit and his role in the believer's life.
The Third Sunday of Epiphany. Today's sermon is about being "fearfully and wonderfully made". Or to put it in the outline of the sermon itself, made in a wonderful way so that we might fear God and praise him for all his has given.
Preaching a familiar text, Psalm 23, and connecting it to the Incarnation on the Second Sunday of Advent as we prepare our hearts for Christ.
This is the first Sunday of Advent. As we continue to think about Christ being King, we turn our focus to preparing our hearts for the coming of King Jesus at Christmas.
This is the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar. This Sunday is a day dedicated to recognizing the Kingship of Jesus Christ.
This is the final sermon (number four) on Baptism. Before the sermon all the baptized in our church reaffirmed their baptismal vows in a ceremony that celebrated and looked back on our Baptism.
This is the third of four sermons on Baptism. We are moving toward reaffirming our Baptism on All Saints Sunday (the first Sunday in November).
