Hope for The Adulterous Heart

Harris Creek Baptist Church

June 16, 2024 • Joshua Broome

Jesus is calling us to a higher standard of living and what we need is not to try harder to modify our behavior, rather we need heart transformation that comes from fully surrendering our entire lives to Jesus’ authority. In this sermon we learn from Joshua Broome, a former pornstar turned pastor, who points us towards Jesus' words on these truths.

1. Authority Reassigned

2. Adultery Redefined

3. The Adulterous Heart Redeemed

Life Group Discussion:

- How do you put up guardrails to protect your heart from tripping up?

- Do you bring your struggles to your heavenly Father? Or do you try to hide your struggles from God and others?

- Do you take inventory of your life? What are you watching? What are you reading? What are you listening to? Who are you hanging out with? What do you need to stop doing that keeps you from becoming the likeness of Christ?

A Foundation That Holds

August 11, 2024 • Jonathan Pokluda • Matthew 7:24–29

The strength of our foundation is shaped by how we live out our beliefs. Challenges reveal whether our foundation is strong or weak. Regular reflection is key to keeping it solid. Application determines the foundation Storms reveal the foundation We must inspect our foundation Life Group Discussion: How do your daily actions and decisions reflect the foundation of your beliefs or values? Can you recall a challenging situation (“storm”) that revealed the strength or weakness of your foundation? What did you learn from that experience? In what ways do you regularly inspect or evaluate your foundation to ensure it remains strong and unshakable?

Do You Have a Ticket?

August 4, 2024 • Nate Hilgenkamp • Matthew 7:13–23

Jesus tells us at the end of the sermon on the mount that not everyone will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The good news is, He tells us how we can know that we have a ticket in. Examine your path carefully Examine your teachers carefully Examine your relationship carefully Life Group Discussion: Are the choices you make leading you towards a life that aligns with Jesus' teachings? How can you recognize when a teacher might be leading you astray? What characteristics should you watch out for? How do the warnings in Matthew 7:13-23 challenge you to examine your own faith and actions?

To Judge or Not To Judge

July 28, 2024 • Scott Kedersha • Matthew 7:1–12

We can be challenged to grow in our affections for God and for others when it’s difficult. We’re a bad judge of others We’re a bad judge of self We misjudge the Father Life Group Discussion: How can you practice humility by focusing on improving yourself instead of judging others? In what areas do you need to ask God for help more often? How can you persistently seek His guidance every day? How can you show compassion and treat others the way you want to be treated, even when it's difficult?
