Harbor of Hope Christian Church Sermons

Zaccheaus serves as an example for the practice of repentance, which is a focus for us in the season of Lent.

Mark tells us that the way of Jesus is the way of the cross, and this means suffering. Today, we talked about how suffering in pursuit of God's Kingdom is infinitely worth it.

In the season of Lent, we're invited to consider the example of Jesus. He is the only one to ever perfectly resist sin, so He is the only one qualified to rescue us from it.

What is it you really want most? What would you give up for it? The two short parables of the hidden treasure the pearl of great price tell us that the only thing worth giving everything for is the Kingdom of God.

In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we are challenged about choosing the way of pride or the way of humility. Humility is necessary for life in the Kingdom of God, but pride is an obstacle.

The Parable of the Sheep and The Goats tells us that solidarity and compassionate care are normal, expected behaviors in God's Kingdom.

In the His Kingdom, God extends unlimited grace and forgiveness to us- and He expects us to do the same toward each other.

The Parable of the Rich Fool challenges us to consider whether we will live according to the economy of the world or the economy of God's Kingdom.

Sunday, Linsey Field preached the parable of the Good Samaritan, which at it's core tells us that the Kingdom of God is built on love.

We read the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13. We learned that participation in God's Kingdom requires transformation by God's Word.
