On Mother's Day, Co-Senior Pastor Jeff Maness told the story of Hagar, a young soon-to-be mother who had run away from a bad situation. But God had a better plan for Hagar, and so He came to her to comfort her. This message is for all of us, even today. God is there for you always. In your hurting, in your hoping, and in your honoring, you are seen and loved.

Membership: What's In It For Me?
January 14, 2024 • Jeff Maness • Hebrews 10:25, Romans 12:1–18, Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 3:10–11
Have ever wondered about church membership at The Harbor? Do you wonder what it is, why you should be a member, and what it requires of you? This is the message that will answer all of your questions. Periodically, The Harbor uses a Sunday morning message as a means by which existing Harbor Members can reconsider their commitment to membership at The Harbor, and nonmembers can learn about this commitment. Typically, every 18-24 months has been our rhythm. On that Sunday, we wipe the membership roll clean and start fresh. This is the message from Membership Sunday on January 14, 2024. If you are local and attend The Harbor, but were unable to join us in person for this Membership Sunday, please watch this message, and then go to the https://www.theharbor.life/membership of our website, http://www.thehar/http://bor.life/ to learn how to become a member or renew your membership.
The Great Reset
January 7, 2024 • Ryan Akers • John 12:20–28, Mark 8:34–37, Romans 12:1
At the beginning of a new year, do you make resolutions? New Year's Resolutions are usually about taking control of areas like our eating habits, our time, our spending, our lives. But in this message entitled, "The Great Reset", Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers says we need to give up control of three areas of our lives to really live the full and abundant life God has called His children to live.
Laughing at God
September 17, 2023 • David Miller • Genesis 18:1–15, Luke 15:11–24, Luke 19:1–10, John 10:10
Sarah laughed at God when He said she was going to have a baby. Certainly she was too old! The Prodigal Son decided to go back to his father in the capacity of a slave. Certainly he had made too many mistakes and was too full of shame to be restored as a son! Zacchaeus was a notorious sinner who just wanted to get a peak at Jesus, but Jesus wanted to go to his house for dinner. Certainly Zacchaeus was too rich and set in his evil ways for God to turn him around and use him. It's never too late to turn to God. You are never too young or too old, too full of sin or shame, too weak or downcast, or too far gone for God to fill you up with His love and turn you into a new creation. God wants to give you a full and abundant life and to use you to touch the lives of others with His overflowing love.
