"The description we have here isn't of a meek Jesus who is about to suffer sin, but rather one that is about to put a physical end to sin. It is that of God in human form."As Jesus entered into Jerusalem for the last time people showered him with shouts of praise. They cried out, “Blessed is the King of Israel!” This declaration was true, but not complete. In Revelation 19 we see a greater, fuller, declaration. Jesus is the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” This Palm Sunday sermon, on Revelation 19:11-21, calls people to serve Jesus as King of Kings.Impacted?

Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem was a weird event. He entered the city knowing that he was going to die there. Yet, he entered the city to shouts of royalty and cries for salvation from the throng of people who gathered. Those with Jesus didn't understand it, at least not until after he died and rose.

Hey everyone, this is Chad Harms, the pastor of Creekside Bible Church. What you'll hear on this episode is not a sermon, but rather an announcement about a project I've been working on: A podcast called "Testimony." The first episode goes live on January 4th and I'd love it if you'd listen and subscribe. Here's the text I wrote for Testimony's trailer:
"I'm a huge fan of podcasts. For years I've enjoyed listening to shows in many genres, but my favorite all have one thing in common: They tell great stories. As a Christian I don't think there is any better story than when someone's life is changed by coming to faith in Jesus. For a long time I have dreamed of producing a podcast that told these stories in a compelling and interesting way. Thankfully, I am finally ready to embark on that endeavor.
One of the first podcasts I ever listened to is called "How I Built This." It is "a podcast about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements they built." That podcast has inspired much of what I hope to do here. Instead of stories about the companies people I have built though, I am telling the stories of how God has built people's lives.
More specifically, Testimony is a podcast telling the stories of how and why people became Christians. It also offers glimpses into how people's decisions to follow Jesus has changed their lives. My hope in producing this is that it will compel some to give their lives to Jesus and many to share their own story with others.
With that in mind I hope that you will listen to the trailer and subscribe. The first episode launches on January 4th. In it you'll hear the story of how God used basketball and a funeral to convince Grayson Boucher (better known as "The Professor") that Jesus was real and how that conviction changed his life and career forever.
Thanks for listening,

Today most people are indifferent to Jesus. When he walked the earth it wasn't this way. Some devoted their lives to following him; some devoted their lives to killing him. Jesus said and did things that polarized people. This is a series of sermons on the signs and speeches of Jesus, and the spite they produced.

This is the second sermon preached by Pastor Chad at Creekside Bible Church. In this sermon, on 1 Peter 2:11-12, he calls people to live beautiful lives by abstaining from sinful desires and doing good works in order that those outside Christianity might glorify God.
Over the course of the next several months we will share more vintage sermons (including a sermon Chad preached from the only pulpit Martin Luther King Jr. preached from in Oregon). We appreciate you listening, rating, reviewing, and subscribing.

Peter promised he'd never forsake Jesus—he'd even die for him. But moments later, when Jesus was arrested, Peter denied even knowing him...three times. Then, he watched as Jesus was unfairly tried, mocked, beaten, whipped, tortured, and crucified. Peter wept bitterly, but no amount of tears could erase the guilt and shame. Three days later Jesus' resurrection sent Peter running and swimming.

There's a moment from the life of Jesus that is celebrated every year. Jesus entered Jerusalem while throngs of people shouted praise and placed palm branches in his path. What isn't celebrated is the events of the following morning. The celebration was over, Jesus had driven greedy people from the temple, and the religious leaders were mad. In this moment, there was no crowd, but three groups of people still came to him. This is a sermon about Jesus and those people: The Blind, The Lame, and The Children.

"If you are a part of the remnant it does not matter if our nation crumbles, because what you have to look forward to is an eternity where there is no mourning, there is no pain, there is no suffering everything that is wrong with your life has been set right, you will sing to God, he will sing over you, and everything will be perfect...the only question is whether or not you will be prepared."

"What stands in between tragedy and hope is your decision on whether or not you are going to change your mind and your heart about the things that you are doing that have lead to the...withering of joy."
"God has just not stopped desiring this intimate relationship with you. It has not changed. It doesn't matter what you've done, it doesn't matter who you who you are, it doesn't matter how far you've drifted, how long you've rejected him. His plan is still to call you out alone and say 'I love you. I want you back.'"
"Every year that goes by, we should be a little bit more connected with Christ."

Families are important, but they are also a source of worry, struggle, and pain. While we don’t like to use the word “dysfunctional” about our own families, we know that certain aspects aren’t right. Jealousy, anger, vengeance, secrecy and lies are more common than they ought to be. In this dysfunction we are not alone. In fact, the first family ever created had crazier things going on than most today. This series examines family dysfunction in the book of Genesis in the hope of helping your family become all that God intends it to be.

Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed.

This sermon was part of the Sunday service in which we celebrated what God did in VBS during the prior week (great stuff). This year’s VBS invited kids to dive into an adventure like no other, scouring the mysterious fathoms of the deep sea through skit, stories, crafts, games, and snacks. Thrilling discoveries awaited just beyond the portholes of their submarines. Things look very different once you get below the surface – and that’s true for life above the surface, too. As kids submerged themselves in God’s Word, they discovered that Jesus saw people differently. He didn’t just see what’s on the outside; He saw who people were down deep.
We live in world that is full of evil and can be downright ugly. At the same time we desire to live good lives that make a positive impact. For Christians this desire is also a calling. However, in our fight for survival we often forget our purpose and accept for ourselves something less than extraordinary; our goal becomes being less ugly than that which surrounds us. This series calls people to something better; it calls all to live beautiful lives.

When Jesus died his friends and followers had a natural reaction - they mourned. They had lost a friend, and even more, they had lost the person they found their hope in. But three days after Jesus' death, he rose again. His friends tears turned to laughter, their fears turned to excitement, and their sadness turned to happiness; they overflowed with joy. The good news is that Jesus' resurrection can make us overjoyed.
Good Friday is the day that the church remembers Jesus’ horrific death by torture and crucifixion. In that moment His suffering was not just that of physical pain, but one of emotional and spiritual agony. The moment Jesus breathed his least breath it was noon and the world went dark. Peace, joy, and hope seemingly disappeared...but not forever.
Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. However, Jesus’ entry into the city where he would die was not itself an event of pure celebration. Some cheered, but some feared and others jeered. So why do we celebrate? Perhaps it is because Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem signaled the ultimate triumph – it signaled a future day when there will be no more tears.

English psychiatrist and philosopher Eric Fromm said, “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Most people feel a constant desire for more; most people never feel like they have enough. Despite this, almost nobody recognizes themselves themselves as greedy. These sermons on greed aim to help people understand what greed is, why it is spiritually significant, and how they can overcome it.

One certainty of life is that it is filled with uncertainty. Our planning and decisions would be much easier if we were provided a map pointing to the difficulties and obstacles that lie ahead. Instead, we are often surprised by difficult circumstances. So, what are we to do? The only thing we can do – trust God as our guide.
Spirituality is in. Across the American culture there are very few things as in vogue. People are flocking towards it in the 2000’s like they did Elvis in the 1950’s or hammer pants in the 1980’s. Everywhere you look you can see some form of spiritual expression. It shows up on TV, on the best sellers list, in movies, and through the ever increasing popularity of spiritual groups. Spirituality has busted out like the next Hunger Games movie or the new American Idol winner. It seems that people in search of spirituality are moving away from Christianity. The problem is not with the lack of spirituality involved in Christianity itself but rather that this spirituality has been sucked out of the church in America. Therefore, it has become uninteresting and uninviting to the people who are looking for a spiritual “fix.” This series of sermons examines the true spirituality of Christianity with the goal of showing people that Christianity offers more.

Spirituality is in. Across the American culture there are very few things as in vogue. People are flocking towards it in the 2000’s like they did Elvis in the 1950’s or hammer pants in the 1980’s. Everywhere you look you can see some form of spiritual expression. It shows up on TV, on the best sellers list, in movies, and through the ever increasing popularity of spiritual groups. Spirituality has busted out like the next Hunger Games movie or the new American Idol winner. It seems that people in search of spirituality are moving away from Christianity.

Everyone has an identity. The source of that identity is of paramount importance. Tragically, most have let what they look like, what they have, what they do, and what others say define them; they’ve allowed their identities to be stolen. Experience shows that a stolen identity is a fragile identity – blemishes, pay cuts, demotions, and mean words causing an identity crisis. In this series we are going to show you how you can reclaim your identity by finding it in Christ.

Life is full of hurt. We feel pain, struggle, fear, and failure. Despite it all, most of us hope. We hope for a better tomorrow. We hope for future success. We hope to be forgiven. We hope our lives will matter. And, we hope that death will not come too soon. But, false hope is no hope at all. The Bible declares that our greatest hopes hang on if Jesus rose.

The Palm Sunday story is well known: Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey as thousands of people lay their coats and palm branches at his feet while shouting, “Hosanna. Hosanna.” What is sometimes forgotten is the miracle that proceeded this event, a miracles that contributed greatly to the size of the crowd – Jesus raised a man named Lazarus from the dead. The miracle of resurrection has alluring power and the source of resurrection ought not be ignored.

Biographies are compelling, in part, because they offer us a glimpse into the life of people beyond their public work. They help us understand who the people are/were, not just what they accomplished. This series is something of a biography of Jesus. A lot of people know about what Jesus said and did, but what was Jesus like? These sermons share three stories from the life of Jesus before his public work and teaching began. In looking at Jesus as a baby, kid, and young man, listeners will, perhaps for the first time, meet Jesus.

God became man. This statement is of such enormous magnitude that is its meaning is almost unfathomable. Despite the weightiness, God becoming man is one of the key tenants of the Christian faith. This series of sermons on the incarnate God doesn’t aim to explain what transpired when God took on flesh, but rather why this wonderful truth has immense significance for people – for you.

English psychiatrist and philosopher Eric Fromm said, “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Most people feel a constant desire for more; most people never feel like they have enough. Despite this, almost nobody recognizes themselves themselves as greedy. These sermons on greed aim to help people understand what greed is, why it is spiritually significant, and how they can overcome it.

It seems, in our current culture, one of the worst things someone can be called is “judgmental.” Sadly, this label often given to anyone who declares a belief in a moral standard; Christians are constantly called judgmental. People are reacting to this in one of two ways: They get louder and angrier – seemingly more judgmental – or they stop talking about right and wrong altogether. The average person intuitively understands that these common, yet extreme approaches are both flawed. People shouldn’t yell at everyone who does something they don’t like; people shouldn’t accept everything that everyone does as good. The Bible offers a complex solution to this tension. This series of sermons aims to teach what the Bible says about judging others.

This series of sermons teaches listeners Jesus’ tips on living a worry-free life.

The message of Christianity is one of God’s love for humanity. Sometimes though, the Christian faith gets painted as if it is for certain types of people who haven’t done certain types of things. The story of Jonah emphatically declares that no matter who you are or what you’ve done, God cares about you. Through a disobedient follower, a group of idolatrous fisherman, and a pagan city, this series of sermons proclaims that everyone can be engulfed by grace.

We all know that not being prepared can leave us in a bad situation (think failing a test or losing a game). Despite this knowledge, many people fail to take seriously their preparation for eternity. In this sermon, based on this year’s VBS Bible passage and theme, Chad Harms encourages people to prepare for life after death by discovering, deciding, and defending the truth of who Jesus really is.
The term “God” is often used and rarely considered. Most people discuss the being we call God without ever pondering what makes him that in the first place. This series of sermons describes the three key attributes that are generally ascribed to God – omniscience (all knowing), omnipotence (all powerful), and omnibenevolence (all loving) – and clarifies how all three can be simultaneously true of one divine being. Through this clarification, hearers will begin to understand that who God is, matters to who they are and how they live.

Almost everyone has an opinion about what church is and how it should be done. The goal of this series is to help people understand Jesus’ thoughts and feelings about church by examining his admonishment, as recorded in Revelation 2-3, to seven 1st century churches.

Is becoming a Christian worth it?
Christianity is a transaction. Jesus made this clear when he said about being his follower, "Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost..." The problem is that what this transaction is has become convoluted by false teaching and misunderstanding. This Easter sermon aims to teach people the cost and reward of becoming a Christian and to encourage people that following Jesus is worth it! Why? In a word, resurrection.
Palm Sunday is the day in which the church remembers Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem to throngs of people and their shouts of acclamation. Less than a week after this event Jesus would be unjustly arrested, mocked, whipped, beaten, and crucified. Many of the same people who excitedly chanted Hosanna, Hosanna (meaning, salvation is here) as he entered into Jerusalem would chant Crucify him, crucify him just days later.
What changed? Actually, nothing. The people had a preconceived notion of who they wanted Jesus to be. When he didn’t fit this notion, they turned on him without hesitation.
This sermon shows that the way in which we view Jesus – even today – determines how we act towards him. It contrasts the crowd of people who wanted to squeeze Jesus into their box with a man named Zacchaeus who wanted to see who Jesus was. Once Zacchaeus discovered who Jesus was, who he really was, he was willing to change his whole life to please him . Once you see understand who Jesus really is, it will make you willing to offer him your entire life.
After C.S. Lewis' wife died he penned the following words which were published in the book A Grief Observed:
Meanwhile, where is God? This is one of the most disquieting symptoms. When you are happy, so happy...and turn to Him with gratitude and praise, you will be—or so it feels—welcomed with open arms. But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face...
Most who have grieved have felt/thought something similar and wondered where God has gone. This series of sermons is a biblical response to the thoughts, feelings, and questions of our pastor and his wife as they grieved two miscarriages in one year (watch the video below for an explanation in our pastor's words). All of the sermons point to one truth: In the midst of grief, God can be found.

These days a lot of people are asking the same question, What is love? For many this questions is asked because they don’t want their baby, or anyone else, to hurt them no more…no more. Truthfully, almost everyone, at some point, has played their heart while another played their game and…it gave love a bad name. Yes, sometimes love stinks. But, some choose to ride the love roller coaster anyway. They search everywhere for this crazy thing called love. They have allowed themselves to be prisoners of love. They are addicted to love. But, deep in their soul, they know that they’ve lost that lovin’ feeling…oh that loving feeling.
But, lets return the commonly asked question, What is love? Maybe, this crazy little thing called love is not so bad after all. Maybe love seems to bite, only because we have a poor vision of love. Perhaps there is a groovy kind of love, an endless love. What if, instead of thinking we love somebody, but wanting to know for sure, we could be certain? What if, instead of musing, I want to know what love is, we could define it in tangible ways – ways that we could live out. If this were true, perhaps then, we could see the power of love.

But, deep in their soul, they know that they’ve lost that lovin’ feeling…oh that loving feeling.
But, lets return the commonly asked question, What is love? Maybe, this crazy little thing called love is not so bad after all. Maybe love seems to bite, only because we have a poor vision of love. Perhaps there is a groovy kind of love, an endless love. What if, instead of thinking we love somebody, but wanting to know for sure, we could be certain? What if, instead of musing, I want to know what love is, we could define it in tangible ways – ways that we could live out. If this were true, perhaps then, we could see the power of love.
These days a lot of people are asking the same question, What is love? For many this questions is asked because they don’t want their baby, or anyone else, to hurt them no more…no more. Truthfully, almost everyone, at some point, has played their heart while another played their game and…it gave love a bad name. Yes, sometimes love stinks. But, some choose to ride the love roller coaster anyway. They search everywhere for this crazy thing called love. They have allowed themselves to be prisoners of love. They are addicted to love.

Busy, busy, busy. It seems like everyone is busy. At the same time, everyone wants to do more:
I wish I had more time to spend with my family.
I should read more.
This year, I will exercise more.
In this series of sermons on laziness (a sequel to The Skinny Glutton) you will learn why busyness is not the opposite of laziness, why you might be a busy sluggard (It probably isn’t that you do too little), and how you can overcome the problem of having too much to do, with too little time to do it.

Have you ever wished you could experience God? Maybe you were facing a difficult decision and you desperately desired an answer from the all-knowing. Perhaps you had experienced a great tragedy and you longed for the loving embrace of the one who is love. Or maybe, you simply felt in your spirit that something was missing and you thought that God’s nearness could fill the void. For those of you who have ever wished to see, feel, or hear from God, but have been left wanting, this series is for you.
This year we commemorate the week traditionally called Epiphany by examining the biblical concept of seeking an appearance or manifestation of God. What we will see is that God’s presence is best found when waiting for him.

Every year during the Christmas season the message from pastors and churches is the same: Make this Christmas about Jesus. But, no matter how cute the cliche – think “Jesus is the reason for the season” or “Keep Christ in Christmas” – doing so proves difficult or unimportant to almost everyone. Between the cooking, decorating, shopping, and family gatherings, little time or energy is left for Jesus. Besides, what does it even mean to make Christmas about a baby that lived almost 2,000 years ago? In the story of the magi (also known as “three kings” or “wise men”) we discover the true value of Christmas and find compelling reasons and tangible ways we can absolutely make this Christmas about Jesus.

The Bible is full of incredible stories – some of the most famous come to us from the Old Testament. These stories (i.e. Noah’s Ark, Samson and Delilah, David and Goliath, etc.) are known, at least partially, by most. Sadly, their familiarity often causes the excitement, beauty, and meaning to be lost on the hearers. This sermon series aims to breathe life back into the wonderful stories of old, pushing hearers to move past the mundane and live extraordinary lives of faith.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the knowledge that something else is more important than cowering when fear comes. In this sermon, Matt Conniry uses poetry, humor, and story to show Christians that they ought to have courage because they live for something (someone) of the greatest importance. In doing so he challenges listeners to stand strong, not running from things that bring spiritual fear and touches on a wide variety of relevant subjects that sometimes make Christians afraid.

Written over 2,500 years ago, the book of Malachi has much to say to the culture of today. It speaks of half-hearted worship, allowing sin to become normal, divorce, and the difficulty in remaining faithful to God when it doesn't seem beneficial - all things that need attention in our time. The book, a dialogue between people and God, offers people in all ages clear guidance on how to live out a real and vibrant faithfulness. We hope that you will listen to these sermons on Malachi and develop a distinct faith.

Too often people live insignificant lives. A majority of humanity lives only for their own sustenance and satisfaction. This either either causes or comes from lives that are fear filled, worry driven, and timid. Christians do not seem to be immune to this type of attitude. They often live scared and it prevents them from accomplishing their God given purposes. The Bible shows something different. It shows that Christians shouldn’t be living only to stay alive and be comfortable, but rather should be living to change the world for the glory of God. Moreover, the Bible shows us that Christians should not just be attempting to change the world, but have the ability to do so through their relationship with God. Jesus himself declares that his followers “will do will do the works [he has] been doing, and they will do even greater things than these…” This sermon, which focuses on the theme verse for Creekside Bible Church’s 2013 VBS, will help you know how you can live your life facing fear and trusting God.
The way we view God dictates almost every aspect of our lives. And, our understanding of him is largely based on our answer to one question – How big is God? Ephesians 3:20-21 says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” This sermon explores the words of this passage and what it says about God’s bigness.
In our current culture a battle wages between truth and love. Society has called people to choose sides – love while ignoring truth or cling to truth while being void of love. For most though, it feels as though these two things ought not be in conflict; it feels as if we should be able to love while clinging to truth. One of Jesus’ closest friends and followers believed this to be true. In fact, he wrote two letters that speak to the importance of both truth and love, even beginning the first of these letters by reminding the recipient of his “love in the truth.” This sermon series, on the letters which are now called 2 & 3 John, will examine the importance and connection of truth and love.

Many go to church, few understand it. The good news is that the Bible offers us beautiful and understandable descriptions of the church in the form of metaphor. "Church As..." reveals four metaphors for church used in the Bible (primarily in the book of Ephesians) and teaches what they mean, why they are important, and how they impact our involvement.

John Aikman Wallace said, “Prayer moves the hand which moves the world.” Many believe this and many more want it to be true; however, most feel like God’s hand lies inactive despite their prayers. Because of this, they give up, moving to their next request or stopping altogether. What is too often forgotten is Jesus’ teaching on the topic of prayer. Throughout the record of his life we find specific guidance on how to pray for results. This sermon series seeks to help people learn how to pray in a way that moves the hand of God by teaching about Jesus’ words on prayer.

In this first person narrative sermon “Thomas” tells of meeting Jesus, witnessing his miracles, seeing him crucified, and overcoming doubt in his resurrection. Through the course of the monologue several themes emerge including religion that is unfulfilling and hurtful, disappointment with God, doubt, and the importance of belief.
This sermon paints a realistic picture of the events surrounding "The Triumphal Entry" and shows that Jesus didn't come to give us all that we want, instead to offer the salvation we need.
Everyone decides what they deem as worthy of their time, energy, money, recommendation, and worship. In the person of Jesus we find one who is worthy of our entire lives. This series explores the amazing life of Jesus – a life full of love, kindness, passion, devotion, and ultimately, sacrifice. This life and all it accomplished for people, should compel us to believe that Jesus is WORTHY.

Ancient Christian Theologian and author, John Cassian, said, “We cannot enter the battle of the inner man unless we have been set free from the vice of gluttony.” Cassian’s sentiment has been echoed throughout history. In our modern world the sin of gluttony is rarely spoken of, being replaced by words about the disease of obesity. But, as this sermon series will show, gluttony is not synonymous with obesity. Instead, “gluttony is not considering our relationship with God when making decisions about the food we eat” Can this really be a sin? If so, why? Does this really have adverse affects? If so, what are they? This sermon series defines gluttony, teaches why it is a sin, and shows its deadly affects.

The Christmas season is a time of year when the birth of Jesus is supposed to be celebrated. Instead, the focus shifts to the food, family, parties, music, decorations, and presents. Why is this the case? Perhaps it is because people do not see the importance of Jesus’ birth. They understand the value of parties and presents, but question the importance of the birth of a child who lived over 2,000 years ago. This series seeks to show that the birth of Jesus matters – Christmas matters.

The topic of Heaven has become increasingly popular. One only need to look at recent best seller lists to see that people are curious about the nature of Heaven. Millions are eager to read the descriptions of Heaven penned by people who claim to have experienced it. What is sometimes forgotten is that the Bible is ripe with descriptions of Heaven, some of which were written by people who had experienced it first hand. The goal of this six week sermon series is to lay forth a biblical description of Heaven.

Does God give advice for life’s decisions? Does he help guide us on who we should marry, where we should live, what job we should take? If he does offer advice for decisions like these, how do we receive the advice? And, how can we be sure it is God giving the advice? The goal of this sermon series is to answer these questions.
Does God give advice for life’s decisions? Does he help guide us on who we should marry, where we should live, what job we should take? If he does offer advice for decisions like these, how do we receive the advice? And, how can we be sure it is God giving the advice? The goal of this sermon series is to answer these questions.
In the Bible God speaks His guidance into people's lives in a myriad of ways (think donkeys and treetops), but in the New Testament there is one way He most often leads His people. This sermon examines God's giving of advice through the Holy Spirit and begins to explain how we can hear and follow that advice in life's difficult decisions.
The Bible makes clear that God wants to give people advice for life's "normal" decisions (i.e. who to marry, where to live, what job to take). But, oftentimes people's experiences don't align with this truth. They seek God's advice, but receive nothing. This leaves many advice-seeking men and women frustrated and confused. This sermon, a teaching on James 1:2-8, shows that God may not be giving some people advice (even though he wants to) and provides the reason that this may be the case.
People often desire God's advice for life's decisions: who to marry, where to live, what job to take, etc. But, is God really concerned with these things or does he just care that we follow the rules he has already given us in the Bible? This sermon seeks to answer the question, "Does God offer advice for everyday decisions?"
In the midst of unjust suffering many people turn away from God. They see bad things happening to good people, perhaps themselves and they decide that God must not be good, loving, and/or powerful and decide that he is not worth serving. This sermon, on Job 42:7-17, explains why this is the wrong choice - even for those who have suffered horrific personal tragedy.
At many points in life people have a keen desire to communicate with God. This desire comes when people want answers, "God, why..." This desire comes when people need direction, "God, what..." This desire comes when people need comfort, "God, help..." In Job 3 - 42:6 God responds to this desire in a man named Job. This sermon shows that God's response is awe inspiring in nature and surprising in content.
In a horrific tragedy, Job loses his wealth, respect, health, and his children. In the midst of terrible mourning Job finds glimmers of hope and confidence. In Job 23:10-12 his source of strength comes from an unlikely place - the knowledge that God sees everything he does. How does this help Job cope with the harsh realities of the tragedy he is facing? This sermon answers that question and shows how we can find this same strength in the hardships we face.
Philosophy can be very helpful when working towards an understanding of life's big questions : Why am I here? How did I get here? What does is the meaning of life?
But, philosophy can also leave people frustrated. Especially when life's big question lave the theoretical and become personal. In this sermon, on Job2:20-28, we find where wisdom to respond to the the big question, "Why do bad things happen to good people," can be found.
Bad days can turn into bad months that can turn into bad years. For everyone who experiences disappointment, hurt, difficulty, and struggle, their is a choice to make: Do I cling to God or turn my back on Him. This sermon lays out the keys to following God in the midst of trying circumstances.
When life goes bad and friends offer hollow explanations for why it has happened and how we can make things better, it can leave us feeling hopeless. In the biblical chapters (Job 4-14) this sermon explores, we encounter a man who experiences this hopelessness, but in the midst of it he recognizes where true hope can once again be found.
This sermon, on one of the most difficult and depressing chapters of the Bible, explores Job's first words after experiencing the loss of possessions, family, and health. In this exploration we find God's attitude towards our emotion, reasons suicide is not a good answer to suffering, and a portrayal of the ultimate hope we have in the midst of emotional and physical pain.
Preached just days after the movie theatre shooting in Aurora, Colorado, this sermon discusses people's response to tragedy. Examining Job 2, Chad Harms, seeks not to answer why bad things happen to good people, but rather, how good people should respond when bad things happen.
One of the most common and important questions that is asked about God is why he, if so loving, would allow bad things to happen to good people. In the Bible, a very good and godly man named Job experiences extreme tragedy – he loses his wealth, children, and health. In the book that is named after him the question of why God would allow this to happen is pondered. In this sermon series, those ponderings are explored so that we may grapple more full with the question of why God allows bad things to happen to good people.
Humanity can understand some really powerful things - tigers, rockets, the sun, etc. In Ephesians 1:15-23 Paul tells us of a power that is greater than all of those. The power he writes about is so great that it exceeds what we can comprehend. This sermon explains that power and how, through it, we can accomplish amazing things, both individually and within the context of church.
In 1 Corinthians 11:17 Paul says to the church in Corinth that some of their church meetings are doing "more harm than good." This is a pretty harsh statement and one that seems contrary to are thinking about church - that going is always better than not going. So, what could make a church meeting do more harm than good? The answer, taking Communion in an unworthy manner. What does it mean to take Communion in an unworthy manner? Listen to this sermon to find out; you will probably be surprised by what you hear.

History tells us that Peter, one of Jesus’ first disciples, requested that the Romans crucify him upside down because he didn’t feel worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. This type of love, devotion, and respect for Jesus is inspiring to all who call themselves Christians. As we explore the life of Peter in the Bible we see that this type of devotion didn’t come in an instant or even overnight. Instead, it came through a process that Jesus called being a disciple. In Peter’s success, fear, courage, and failure we can see themes of being a disciple that can and should be applied to our lives. Thus, the goal of this series is to learn how to live for Jesus through the narrative of Peter’s life.

Note: This sermon is split into three parts to represent three important experiences in the life of Peter. During the Sunday gathering music was played after the sections. A brief period of silence has been left on this recording to reflect the split.

When sin entered into the world, death came with it. When death entered into the world people started focusing on making their lives on earth as good as possible. This continues in the world today. People make their decisions based on few years of life they have been given. In this sermon we see that Jesus’ resurrection conquered death and made eternal life possible. This should change people’s perspective on time and altar the decisions people make in the present.
A Palm Sunday Sermon on Matthew 21:1-11 that teaches how Jesus did not see a distinction between Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter. He was the Coming King who set things right and offered salvation when He entered Jerusalem, when He died on a cross, and when He rose from the dead.
The Jesus Experiment is an invitation for people to become like Jesus in their feelings, thoughts, words and deeds. Each week they’ll focus on a different aspect of Jesus’ life, including how he faced his fears, how he talked with God, how he overcame evil, how he helped the vulnerable and others. We will begin to discover through our sermons and the book of the same name, how Jesus felt, thought, spoke and acted in specific situations. During the week as they face a similar situation, people will examine their own feelings, thoughts, words and deeds and compare them to Christ’s. Next, people will ask God to conform them into the likeness of Jesus. This isn’t just a sermon series, it is a concentrated effort to become more like Jesus.

This is a study of the birth of Jesus, the Christmas story, through the voices of a group that is particularly special to the story – the angels. Many know that the angels proclaimed the birth of Jesus, but few remember the what they proclaimed about his birth.
In this study we are reminded of why the birth of Jesus was so significant. In being so reminded, our minds and hearts are drawn back to the only real reason to celebrate Christmas – the birth of Jesus.
