Harbor of Hope Christian Church Sermons

In the hardest conflicts, our hope is the in the Gospel of Jesus.

James tells us that behind every conflict is idolatry. Today, we talked about how our desires can become idols, which leads to our conflict with others.

Conflict is inevitable, but as followers of Jesus, we are called to the vocation of peace making. This sermon begins our 10 week series with a challenge about why it matters that each one of us commit to become a peacemaker.

Transformation and being a living sacrifice comes when we surrender to God’s ways and word; we are all like Samson and need to surrender and become living sacrifices.

Fear is the root of all sin. Fear can only be conquered by experience. Fear cannot be fully assuaged, only confronted.

On Easter Sunday we celebrate that Jesus' resurrection promises us that the power of sin, the hold of death, and the reign of evil have been broken!

On Palm Sunday, we celebrate that the King has come, and we remember that our job as disciples of Jesus is to do whatever we can to provide opportunities for people to meet Him.

Jesus tells us that the way of the cross will lead to death- but it won't end there.

In John 3, Jesus wanted Nicodemus to see his need for a Savior. The invitation to us today is the same. To participate in God's Kingdom, we have to look up to Jesus to do for us what we couldn't do for ourselves.
