Harvest Fellowship Teaching

November 15, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 5:18-21

Harvest Fellowship — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:13:57 GMT

This morning, we looked at 4 short verses that challenge us to really answer the question, "What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?"

November 8, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 5:1-17

Harvest Fellowship — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:37:51 GMT

Today, we looked at a passage of scripture that is known as the "how to imitate God" section. While we can't create planets or solar systems, we are invited to imitate who God is.

November 1, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 4:17-32

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:43:37 GMT

Today, we looked at Paul's simple words of life, a section that encourages us to walk away, to put on and to build up.

October 25, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 4:7-16

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:14:20 GMT

This morning, we looked at the words of encouragement Paul has for the church in Ephesus. He wants them, and us, to grow up and no longer act like children.

October 18, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 4:1-6

Harvest Fellowship — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:18:47 GMT

This morning, Chad Wormstadt (one of our deacons) stepped up and taught from Ephesians 4:1-6.

October 11, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 3:14-21

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:49:54 GMT

This morning, we looked at the grand, sweeping prayer of Paul that serves as a transition between the theology (chapters 1-3) and the ethics (chapters 4-6) of this letter.

September 27, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 3:1-13

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:10:31 GMT

Today, we spend a large chunk of time remembering that as Christians, we've been called to something more than simply living as a "gospel-community". The gospel births community, but that community is to be on Jesus' mission. That's our rhythm, that's our desire, to gather in community so that we can scatter on mission. "Mission is lowly people, making Jesus known so that God is highly glorified."

September 20, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 2:11-22

Harvest Fellowship — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:00:39 GMT

This difficult passage reminds us that God's people often ignore the walls God establishes, and build walls that God has knocked down. These 11 verses are a continuation of 1-10 and describe the change that takes place not only in the individual's life, but in the life of a community of faith.

September 13, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 2:1-10

Harvest Fellowship — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:04:58 GMT

These verses tell us who we were before Christ (1-3) and who we are now that we are "in Christ" (4-10). These few words show us the vastness between what we are by nature and what we can become by God's grace. We are invited to be part of the Missio Dei, to live like Christ, to be merciful, grace giving and to live like we are the new creatures He has made us to be.

September 5, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 1:15-23

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:23:28 GMT

We continued to look at this opening chapter to the church in Ephesus and were reminded that faith in God and love for others must go hand in hand.

August 30, 2009 - Identity Formation: Ephesians 1:1-14

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:01:06 GMT

This morning, we began a conversation through the book of Ephesians, which is, at its core, a book about who God is and who we are as a result. This opening section of Paul's letter gives us a glimpse into this message of truth, the gospel of salvation.

August 23, 2009 - Missio Dei - Revelation 1

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:25:47 GMT

This morning, we looked at what it means for us to be a people "on a mission from God." The Missio Dei is God's plan to redeem humanity and creation from the captivity of evil and sin and into the life we designed to live. That is the reason we exist.

August 16, 2009 - Prodigal Children #4

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:36:49 GMT

Today we finished our "Prodigal Children" series by looking at the embrace of the father and at the things that hinder us from getting "home".

August 9, 2009 - Prodigal Children #3

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:54:50 GMT

Today, it's the "other" brother's turn to come home. At it's core, this parable (Luke 15) was written to the older brother types, the religious leaders and Pharisees who criticize Jesus for associating with sinners. This brother's story is a stark realization that if you want to avoid Jesus, you can be really, really bad, or you can be really, really good.

August 2, 2009 - Prodigal Children #2

Harvest Fellowship — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:15:18 GMT

This is the second week of our series that looks at the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15). This week, we looked specifically at the son, at his addiction, at his separation from his father, and the undeniable love and devotion of this father. Our invitation is simply this: Will we remember who our Father is and come home to the place we belong?

July 26, 2009 - Prodigal Children #1

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:02:30 GMT

Today, we started a series looking at the beautiful, rich story of the love of the Father toward HIs kids in Luke 15. As you enter into this story, it's good to allow our hearts engage the great measure of foolishness that the father to as he saw his child coming up the road.

July 12, 2009 - God's Great Love

Harvest Fellowship — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:21:20 GMT

Today, we looked at one verse that changes everything...1 John 4:10 is a beautiful picture of God's great love for us.

January 11, 2009 - The Mustard Seed Kingdom

Harvest Fellowship — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:46:34 GMT

Jesus moved through this earthly life very intentionally and explained to those around Him that the Kingdom of God was like a pearl or a net or leaven or a small, insignificant mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32). This morning, we took time to recognize and celebrate that Kingdom living is often found in the messy, small and fairly insignificant times...we just need to slow down and pay attention.
