Men of Integrity

June 20, 2021SermonChurch, discipleship, Exodus, Holiday, Moses, wisdomBrad Harris

We revisit Exodus and the conversations between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. Moses is overwhelmed with the responsibility of teaching and judging among the people of Israel. And his father-in-law wisely looks into the matter, asking timely questions, and perceptively counsels Moses, strengthening his relationship with God and as well letting God use others to share the load for Moses. But they must be men of integrity.

Continue Steadfastly

June 6, 2021SermonActs, Church, devotions, discipleship, endurance, obedience, prayer, salvationBrad Harris

Peter spoke to the crowd in Jerusalem that gathered to discover the meaning of the wind and fire. His message was that the Messiah whom they had crucified had risen from the dead (as promised by God) and now ascended to the right hand of the Father in triumph. Now was the time to repent and believe the testimony. Many chose to do just that, proclaiming their faith in the Messiah with baptism. But louder still was their changed life. Steadfastly, they continued to learn from the apostles and in fellowship with the believers. They ate together and prayed together.

One Generation to the Next

May 9, 2021Sermondiscipleship, evangelism, Exodus, Holiday, Moses, worshipBrad Harris

We get a peek behind the curtain of the tent into the family of Moses. His father-in-law is the priest of the tribe of Midian who worships the LORD. But the stories from his son-in-law Moses cause the old priest to worship and exclaim that his faith in the one true God is greater now than ever before. And we learn something about honoring our parents and evangelizing with our story of God.

Moses Shares Good News

March 7, 2021Sermondiscipleship, Discouragement, endurance, Exodus, MosesBrad Harris

Moses is recruited by God Almighty for the deliverance of the children of Israel. First recruit by Moses is his brother Aaron and together they mobilize the elders of Israel to believe that the LORD is about to rescue them. But their first encounter with Pharaoh leaves much to be desired. In fact, the king of Egypt has made things worse for the nation of slaves, just as the LORD had forewarned would happen. But God is neither surprised nor hampered by the rebellion of men.

Preparing for an Exodus

February 21, 2021Sermondiscipleship, Exodus, Genesis, God's will, MosesBrad Harris

God miraculously prepared Moses to be the deliverer of the Hebrew slaves, but it had to be according to the timing of God and by His means. The natural abilities of Moses were not enough for what needed done. The spiritual training would be as a shepherd for Reuel, the friend of God, the priest of Midian at the base of the mountain of YHWH.

Having Received Christ Jesus

December 13, 2020Sermonadopted, Colossians, discipleship, life, PaulBrad Harris

If you are standing still, you are losing ground. Paul challenges the believers in Colosse to not abandon their good start in Christ and to continue to build their life on the good foundation in Christ. Using metaphors from agriculture, construction, and walking, Paul admonishes them that faithfulness is not stationary nor complacent. Faithfulness is effort and action. Don’t do nothing. Walk in Christ. Build, stabilize, and abound in Christ.

Wise to ask for wisdom

October 25, 2020Sermondiscipleship, endurance, lifeBrad Harris

Wisdom series applied. Our wisdom series moves from David to Solomon, the man famous for wisdom.
Arguably, the smartest thing Solomon ever did was ask for wisdom. So we will spend a few minutes seeing what attitudes and thoughts led up to Solomon’s famous request for wisdom from God that changed his world.

The Miraculous Catch

September 6, 2020Sermondiscipleship, evangelism, LukeBrad Harris

Jesus draws people unto Himself with His power and His words. And some will want even more and see His working. Through repentance and faith, these people will hear the call to greater intimacy with Christ. And intimacy that empowers them to be a part of drawing others to Christ.

The Bigger Story in Ruth

March 8, 2020SermonDavid, discipleship, God's will, obedience, RuthBrad Harris

Boaz and Ruth were faithful to God in their generation. God used that faithfulness to pivot the story of redemption from Genesis all the way to King David and beyond to the King of kings Jesus. Yet, like us, Ruth and Boaz did not realize the importance of their place in God’s story, they were just doing the right thing because God said to do it. May we take heart to remain faithful and let God do His work for the glory of Christ.

Wise unto Eternity

February 9, 2020Sermondevotions, discipleship, faith, LukeBrad Harris

Jesus used a curious parable to teach a profound truth – we need to be prepared for the future. The future often comes without warning. And most important is the future in eternity. Are we investing in eternity or only in today? Listen in as we examine the different points that Christ makes from the story of the Unjust Steward.
