Harrison Church Sermon Podcast: Recent Episodes
Harrison Audio Visual Ministry
Harrison Church Sermon Podcast features our weekly sermons. Here you can listen to the teachings of God from Senior Pastor Elzabeth Coppedge-Henley, and Associate Pastor Kyle McCain.
This Sunday we consider another (and the first!) self-examination question of John Wesley: "Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?" The goal of asking it is hardly to induce guilt. It's to provoke confession, and after confession, transformation.

This Sunday we continue our study of the Lord's Prayer by concentrating on the next petition: Hallowed be thy name. What might this mean for us?
The first Sunday of the season of Lent begins this week. As we journey through Lent, we'll begin a new sermon series on The Lord's Prayer. What are we really praying when we recite it lines? It's a radical prayer indeed!
This Sunday we'll reflect on the first petition of the prayer: Our Father who art in heaven.
This Sunday we will end our series by tackling the second most asked question by the Harrison congregation: What about the Underworld? What do Methodists believe about...Hell? What we might find is that there is good news even here.
Next Sunday we'll return to yet another common saying quoted by many Christians. Unlike the other sayings we've addressed so far, all of which appear nowhere in the Bible, this one does appear in the Bible: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). What is Paul really getting at here? Again, we'll see that context matters.
This Sunday we shift gears and return to the top question asked by members of the Harrison congregation: What do Methodists believe about the Rapture?
In response to the question, we'll do something different this Sunday. Instead of hearing a standard sermon, we’ll do a bible study together. We will analyze two passages of Scripture often cited to promote this end-times teaching. Then we will simply ask, “What’s really going on?”
This Sunday we'll tackle yet another common saying uttered by the faithful: "The Lord only helps those who help themselves." Like the other sayings we've explored so far, it's time to put this one out to pasture too.
This Sunday, and inspired by your questions, we will tackle yet another saying common among the faithful: "God never gives us more than we can handle." Let's explore where this saying comes from and do some myth-busting in the process.
You've heard it, surely. Something happens and what is often the go-to Christian response? "Everything happens for a reason!"
Join us as we begin our new series on the questions you asked as a congregation and, inspired by your questions, take a look at a few myths, misconceptions, and even half-truths about the Bible. Why is the God of the Old Testament wrathful? What do Methodists believe about the Rapture? About Hell? We’ll even discuss a few things Christians often say such as “The Lord helps those who help themselves” or “God only gives you what you can handle.” It ought to be a fun few weeks!
