Every follower of Jesus can make disciples with an intentional leader, a relational environment, and a reproducible process.By Kati Pessin

Have you ever felt like God in the Old Testament is different from God in the New Testament? The grace shown in the Old Testament and the grace we receive through Christ in the New Testament are very similar. We can even see God’s grace in the way He dealt with Adam and Eve in the garden despite the consequences of their sin. Watch this message to …

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

No matter where you are in your Journey, Jesus is extending an invitation for you to follow Him and take the next step.By Paul Travers

Speaker: Rob HousmanBy Harbor Churches

What comes to mind when you think of God? In this first message of the He Is/We Are series, Senior Pastor Jeff Maness explores what it means when we say that God is holy. Holiness as a concept may be hard to grasp. It basically talks about God's apartness or sacredness. There is no one like Him. Only He is absolutely holy, and from His holiness flo…

God defines success differently than we do. Instead of power and position, in God's Kingdom, success is about service and submission.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

What areas of your life are you always trying to control? What you try to control the most is often what you worry about the most. And, you may be surprised to find, what you try to control is most often where you are trusting God the least. Watch/listen to this message from Manne Favor, Pastor of Connect Church in Pearland, Texas, to learn that yo…

In God's Kingdom, we are all equal in service of an exceedingly generous King.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Jared HeddensBy Harbor Churches

When things go wrong, it doesn’t take much for the emotions of doubt, disbelief, and discouragement to dominate our minds, so much so that we start may questioning if everything we believe is really real. We may question if God is there and if He is really cares about us. Watch this message to learn that God’s delays are not God’s denials. He loves…

Jesus tells us that wealth can make it hard for us to experience the full life God wants for us.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

The power of Jesus is best revealed in the problems we face. In the midst of our problems we should be asking God to provide a miracle for us - to reveal His power through provision. But we tend to make assumptions about how God should intervene, what He should do, and when He should do it. We might just need a shift in our perspective to see the r…

In Matthew 19, Jesus is asked a question about divorce. Instead of just answering a question, he reminds us of why God created relationships for us in the first place.By Kati Pessin

The reality is that we are all now in, just getting out of, or just fixing to enter a storm in life. God doesn't sugarcoat this reality in His Word. He tells us many times that there will be storms. But it's just as clear that in those storms, we can have peace in Jesus. Jesus is our anchor in the storm. Watch/listen to this message to see how you …

In telling the parable of the unmerciful servant, Jesus is telling us that God's people are to be a forgiving people.By Kati Pessin

Are you living in abundance? True abundance is formed in the mind and in the heart, in the spiritual center of who we are. It’s a mindset. This doesn't mean that we don't experience real need at times. It can be so hard at times to look around at what we have or what is happening to us and believe we have an abundance, to believe we have more than …

Jesus tells us in Matthew 18 that in God's Kingdom, relationships are more important than rules.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

"Would you like to get well?" At first glance the question seems ridiculous. Anyone who has had any kind of affliction (physical, mental, emotional, or circumstantial) for any length of time knows the answer is a resounding, "YES!" But do you want to get well enough to do what He says? Watch/listen to this message to find that there are three parts…

Fear versus Trust: What are we letting drive our decisions?By Linsey Field

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

Sometimes we hesitate to pray for the "small" things we need, because we think that Jesus doesn't care about the little things in our lives, especially when other people are going through much bigger things. But He is the God of the big and the little. If it matters to you, it matters to Jesus, because you matter to Jesus! Click here for Pastor Jef…

As we enter Eastertide, the 50 days after Easter, we ask the question: what difference does the resurrection make?By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Abby BlackBy Harbor Churches

When we fail at something or let someone down, we often feel deep regret or like we, ourselves, are a failure. But making a mistake doesn’t make you a failure, and it doesn’t keep God from loving you or using you. In this Easter message, Senior Pastor Jeff Maness tells how Peter's denial of Jesus was Peter's greatest failure, but Jesus wasn't done …

When you can’t fathom what God is up to, keep looking at Him.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

Communion is a ritual we partake of at least once during each sermon series at The Harbor. Jesus instituted communion at The Last Supper, and told us to "Do this in remembrance of me." We know it has great meaning, but let's go deeper into what it's really all about and see how God orchestrated even the tiniest details to point to the Messiah as fa…

In the last part of Jesus' last teaching in the gospel of Matthew, he says, "I'm coming back, so stay ready!"By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

We were created to worship God, and not just on Sundays or in those thankful moments when we recognize His hand on our lives. We were created to worship as a lifestyle, every day and in many ways. This does not necessarily mean we walk around singing worship songs all day. Worship means much more than that. Watch this message, "Worship is a Lifesty…

Jesus told his disciples about how things would be at the end so they could wait with hope for Jesus and His return.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Tim WilsonBy Harbor Churches

Humility. It is impossible to describe the person of Jesus without using that word. And if the church is meant to be a reflection of Christ, then humility is something we ought to take really seriously and challenge ourselves on as a community. How can a life of service and sacrifice be more fulfilling than a life of power, popularity, and position…

In Matthew 23, Jesus has some hard words of warnings for the Pharisees. It's possible we just might need to hear them too.By Kati Pessin

Speaker: Jared HeddensBy Harbor Churches

When life is great, it's easy to praise God, but when life is hard, it can be easy to blame God. Is God who you turn to first in the good and the bad? In this message, "Courageous Trust", Community Care Pastor David Miller teaches us how to combat anxiety by waiting on the Lord, replacing intrusive worries and what-ifs with the Word of God and wors…
