How God Changes a City

Harris Creek Baptist Church

February 18, 2024 • Nate Hilgenkamp

How does a city change? In this message, we intro the book of Ephesians by looking at how God shifted the city of Ephesus.

 

God changes a city by changing a person

God changes a city by removing idols

God changes a city with the message of His grace

 

Life Group Discussion:

Have you ever felt darkness in a city you visited?

What are the idols that have your heart?

Where is one place this week you can influence people? Hold each other accountable. 

Pray together to seek the welfare of our city and change the world through the power of Jesus.

The Truth About Marriage

May 12, 2024 • Jonathan Pokluda

A marriage cannot be happy or healthy without Christ at the center of it. In this message, Jonathan Pokluda teaches us that (1) the mindset of marriage must be sacrifice and submission, (2) the mission of marriage is sanctification through service, and (3) the mystery of marriage is that it showcases our savior.

Stop Sleepwalking

Paul reminds us in today’s text the antidote to spiritually sleepwalking is to walk in love, walk in the light, and walk in wisdom.    1. Walk in Love 2. Walk in Light  3. Walk in Wisdom    Life Group Discussion: What have you put behind you and fully surrendered to walk in love? When someone brings sin into the light? How should you respond? What do you daily allow to fill your heart? What influences your flesh?  

Anger and Forgiveness

April 28, 2024 • Nate Hilgenkamp

To live a Christian life, we have to imitate Christ. One place where some struggle is with forgiveness of others who have committed a wrong against them. Rather than holding grudges, quiet judgment, and anger in our hearts, we are called to forgive in the same way that Jesus forgave us. God deeply cares about how we are able to forgive others and let go of our anger.  Life Group Questions:  Are there any unresolved conflicts or feelings of resentment towards others in your life? How can you take the first step towards resolution? How does our anger towards others often reveal other sin within us?
