What does it really mean to follow Jesus every day—not just on Sundays? In this message, Everyday Disciples Stay Close to Jesus, we’re invited into a transformative vision of discipleship that moves us from performance-based religion to a presence-centred relationship with Christ.Rooted in Luke 9:23, this sermon reminds us that discipleship isn’t about doing more religious activities—it’s about dying to self and living fully for Jesus. Drawing on the ancient imagery of rabbis and their students, we explore what it means to be “covered in the dust of our rabbi”—to follow Jesus so closely that His life, character, and ways begin to shape our own.Through the contrasting stories of Mary and Martha, the prodigal sons, and Zacchaeus, we discover a sobering truth: proximity to Jesus without a heart connection leaves us spiritually empty. Like Zacchaeus, we must rise above the noise of the crowd—cultural pressure, distractions, and others’ opinions—to see Jesus clearly and encounter Him personally.This message challenges us with a simple but demanding call:Daily discipleship requires daily directional decisions.Staying close to Jesus means intentionally creating time, space, and rhythms to dwell in God’s presence—because discipline takes us where desire alone cannot.This sermon is for anyone longing to reorder their life around what matters most and experience the transforming power of staying close to Jesus.Key Scriptures: Luke 9:23, Luke 10:38–42, Luke 15, Luke 19:1–10Big Idea: Everyday Disciples stay close to Jesus by starting their day with Him and inviting Him to shape their lives.👉 If this message encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who wants to grow as an everyday disciple.-----Pastor Adam FryJanuary 1, 2026The Harbour Church🔗 Stay Connected: https://www.facebook.com/@theharbourkincardinehttps://www.instagram.com/@theharbour.church https://www.youtube.com/@theharbourchurch🔔 Subscribe: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=00c2c081c7418f58d4af51b97&id=9db1101126#theharbourchurch #experiencelife #liveincommunity #discoverpurpose #makeadifference #jesuschangeseverything #overflowwithhope #churchonline #kincardine #brucecounty

This powerful message explores the story of Joseph and reveals a profound truth: real love is not found in grand gestures or fleeting emotions, but in the costly, quiet decisions we make when our hearts are breaking.Through Joseph’s journey, we step into the tension of a man whose world was turned upside down, yet who chose mercy over revenge, obedience over comfort, and faithfulness over self-protection. His story challenges us to ask hard questions about our own lives. Where is love costing us something right now? Are we guarding dignity when trust has been damaged? Are we choosing restraint before reacting publicly to our pain?This teaching honestly acknowledges that staying in love—with God, with others, and with our calling—requires us to carry weight. Love is not an effortless glide forward; it is often the slow climb, burden in hand, when quitting would be easier. Yet Scripture reminds us that heaven sees what others don’t: our quiet obedience, unseen sacrifices, and faithful choices made in private.Ultimately, Joseph’s story points us to Jesus, who bore shame He did not deserve, stood in our place, and showed us that love always acts—even when it is devastatingly hard. We are not called to earn God’s love through obedience, but to respond to the love we have already received—a love so costly it went all the way to the cross.——Pastor Rob KropfDecember 21, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#theharbourchurch churchonline #kincardine #experiencelife #liveincommunity #discoverpurpose #makeadifference #jesuschangeseverything #christmas #advent #waiting #love

Joy doesn’t wait for the morning; it breaks into the night.In this Advent message, we step into the fields outside Bethlehem and rediscover the familiar Christmas story through the eyes of the shepherds. These ordinary, overlooked men were the first to hear the announcement of Jesus’ birth, reminding us that God often brings His greatest joy into our darkest moments.Through a deep dive into the cultural world of the shepherds and the angel’s proclamation of “good news of great joy,” this sermon explores how true joy is not dependent on circumstances, status, or timing. We’ll uncover three practical spiritual principles that show us how to experience lasting joy, even in seasons of fear, waiting, and uncertainty.Whether you’re walking through a dark night or simply longing for deeper joy this Christmas, this message invites you to draw near to Jesus — the source of joy for all people.📖 Scripture: Luke 2:8–20——Pastor Adam FryDecember 14, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#theharbourchurch churchonline #kincardine #experiencelife #liveincommunity #discoverpurpose #makeadifference #jesuschangeseverything #christmas #advent #waiting #faithfulness #joy #shepherds #luke2

Discover the Christmas story through fresh eyes. Mary’s encounter with Gabriel wasn’t a quiet moment—it was a radical act of surrender that changed everything. This message reveals the simple formula behind true surrender: trust + obedience. Trust is the root. Obedience is the fruit. And real peace only comes when we stop clinging to control and submit to the King.Mary didn’t demand clarity or comfort—she trusted God’s character and said yes. Her response challenges us to stop delaying obedience and embrace the truth that understanding is optional, but obedience is essential. The peace we’re desperate for is found on the other side of surrender.——Pastor Spencer SchroederDecember 7, 2025The Harbour Church—— 00:00 The Wildness of Mary’s StoryA fresh look at the miraculous, disruptive reality of Mary’s encounter with Gabriel.05:00 The Authority Problem Behind Our Peace ProblemWhy we want the benefits of God’s kingdom without submitting to the King—and why it never works.10:00 Trust: The Foundation of SurrenderHow Mary shows us that trust is the root of every truly surrendered life.15:00 Obedience: The Expression of SurrenderWhy obedience isn’t delayed, negotiated, or dependent on full understanding.20:00 The Significance of SurrenderDiscovering that true significance isn’t what we accomplish, but whom we surrender to.——Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#theharbourchurch #churchonline #advent #peace #mary #surrender #trust #obedience #bible #christmas #kincardine #church #community #faith #hope #joy

Waiting can feel like the longest journey, especially when what we’re hoping for seems endlessly out of reach. In this Advent message, we step into the powerful story of Zechariah and Elizabeth—a righteous couple who waited decades for a child while living under Roman pressure and social shame. Their story reminds us of our own seasons of deferred hope, when we wonder if God hears us at all.But Scripture reveals a stunning truth: waiting is never wasted.During the so-called 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, God wasn’t absent—He was preparing the world for the arrival of Jesus. Empires shifted, roads were built, language unified, and hearts were being shaped for the gospel.When the angel announced the birth of John the Baptist, the silence broke—and hope burst into history.This message invites us to confront our own “learned hopelessness” and to rediscover the God who is always at work, even when we can’t see Him. The call is simple and life-giving: Wait with open hands. Trust with steady hearts. Move with ready faith.Your season of waiting is part of God’s larger redemptive story—and He is working in you so He can work through you.——0:00 The Reality of WaitingWe explore how waiting feels different as adults versus children, and how the Advent season invites us to reflect on both Christ's first arrival and His promised return.7:00 Zechariah and Elizabeth: Faithful in the WaitingWe examine the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, a righteous couple who remained faithful despite decades of barrenness and centuries of God's apparent silence.15:00 The Angel's Message and God's Appointed TimeWe discover how Gabriel's appearance to Zechariah broke centuries of silence, announcing that their prayers were heard and God's plan was unfolding at the perfect time.24:00 Principles for Hope-Filled WaitingWe receive practical guidance for maintaining hope during seasons of waiting: waiting with open hands, trusting with steady hearts, and moving with ready faith.——Pastor Adam FryNovember 30, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#theharbourchurch churchonline #kincardine #experiencelife #liveincommunity #discoverpurpose #makeadifference #jesuschangeseverything #christmas #advent #waiting #faithfulness #prayer

What happens after this life? What does the Bible really say about resurrection, renewal, and eternity?In this final week of our Nicene Creed series, we explore the powerful confession:“…we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.”This message unpacks why the early church insisted on a physical resurrection, a renewed creation, and an eternity spent with God. With Scripture from Revelation 21 and Romans 8, vivid illustrations—including the “walk-off home run” moment waiting for us in heaven—and the inspiring story of the martyrs Perpetua and Felicity, we discover that our deepest hope is not wishful thinking but a guaranteed promise in Christ.Key Themes:• Resurrection is our hope—death is not the end• Renewal is God’s promise—He makes all things new• Eternity is our future—life with God forever• Why the early church fought fiercely to preserve these truths• How this hope strengthens us in suffering and shapes how we live todayIn Christ, the best is still yet to come—and it’s guaranteed through Christ's resurrection and ascension.If you’re longing for hope, clarity, or renewed confidence in the future God has promised, this message is for you.Watch now and lift your eyes to the life of the world to come.——Pastor Adam FryNovember 23, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#HopeInChrist #NiceneCreed #Resurrection #EternalLife #theharbourchurch #experiencelife #theharbourchurch #kincardine

In this week’s message, we explore two of the most unifying confessions in the Nicene Creed: “We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.”What do these declarations mean for us today? Why did the early Church see them as essential to Christian faith and unity? And how do they shape the way we understand the Church, salvation, and our shared identity in Christ?Pastor Adam unpacks the biblical foundation, historical context, and practical implications of these powerful statements—reminding us that the Church is God’s people, God’s mission, and God’s family, and that baptism is the sign of His saving grace at work in us.If this message encourages you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe.——Pastor Adam FryNovember 16, 2025The Harbour Church—— Take a Step: Follow Jesus: ⁠https://t.ly/9kAq ⁠Request Prayer: ⁠https://t.ly/m474 ⁠—— Stay Connected: Website: ⁠https://theharbourchurch.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://t.ly/erB4 ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://t.ly/7ZBq ⁠Newsletter: ⁠https://t.ly/ILDt⁠#NiceneCreed #Baptism #JesusIsLord #Confession #theharbourchurch #experiencelife #theharbourchurch #kincardine
