Our Core Values
Eternity Is Now

Our last core value says: Eternity Is Now - Eternal life is not something we receive when we die; it’s something we choose to live in today, and those who believe in and follow Jesus will live with Him forever. For the believer that is beyond exciting! But what does eternal life provide for us today? Watch to see as Co-Senior Pastor Jeff Maness teaches the last message of our What We Bleed series.
Health Requires Hard Work
July 31, 2022 • Weston Savell • Romans 8:1, Romans 8:28, Genesis 3:1–13, Genesis 2:16–17, Genesis 1:31
God always wants what is best for us. Unfortunately, we don't always do what is best for ourselves. This week's core value says: Health Requires Hard Work - Followers of Jesus must work hard to carefully nurture their own spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, and financial health. Watch as Teaching Pastor Weston Savell shows us how to get back on track and develop a deeper relationship with our Father at the same time.
Bold Faith
July 24, 2022 • Jeff Maness • Daniel 3
We all want to have bold faith like David, Paul, the Apostles, and especially like Jesus, but how do we get it? Where does a bold faith come from?

Prayer Is Our Priority
July 17, 2022 • Rick Baldwin • Psalm 27:8, Hebrews 4:16, Psalm 5:3, John 15:5, Isaiah 49:16
We continue our What We Bleed series with another of the most important Core Values at The Harbor: "Prayer is Our Priority - The work of the church is first and foremost prayer, by which all other work is led, empowered, and supported". God longs to have a relationship with each person. He wants to talk with you, to lead you, to empower and support you to be all that He has created you to be! Listen to hear how prayer has changed lives! This is Founding and Co-Senior Pastor Rick Baldwin's last full message at The Harbor.
Serving Matters
July 10, 2022 • Jeff Maness • 1 Corinthians 12:4–27, Romans 12:6, Mark 10:43–45, 1 Peter 4:10, Romans 12:4–5
It is God's plan that those who follow Christ serve one another. Jesus told His disciples, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45) Everyone has a part to play. And so one of our Core Values at The Harbor is, "Serving Matters - Followers of Jesus should serve in areas that use their God-given gifts to strengthen and build up the Church and others." In this message, "Serving Matters", Co-Senior Pastor Jeff Maness shows that it takes all of us working together, using the gifts God has given us, to do the work of the Church. We each have a part to play and work to do for the kingdom. Thank you to all who serve at The Harbor!
Built on the Bible
July 3, 2022 • Matthew 7:24–27, Psalm 119:9–12, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Isaiah 55:10–11
In this message Teaching Pastor Weston Savell teaches about one of, if not the most important ingredient for the Christian life. It is the Bible. Our core value says, "Built on the Bible - The Bible, God’s revealed Truth, without fault or error in everything it teaches, is the foundation and final authority for all that the Church and follower of Jesus does." With prayer, this core value drives us. It is the fuel by which we do life as believers, and we do faith as a church. Watch to see how valuable the Bible is (or can be) in our lives.
We Are Managers, Not Owners
June 26, 2022 • Rick Baldwin • Haggai 2:8, Psalm 50:10–12, 1 Chronicles 29:14, Malachi 3:8–10, Genesis 2:15
At The Harbor we believe that "Followers of Jesus should be effective and efficient stewards of all God gives them, understanding that He owns it all." In short, "We Are Managers, Not Owners" of everything we have. In this message, Co-Senior Pastor Rick Baldwin teaches how this attitude not only honors God, but relieves stress from our lives and allows us to participate more freely in what God is doing around us.
His Plan, Our Call
June 12, 2022 • Jeff Maness • Ephesians 1:19–20, Matthew 5:14–16, 1 Peter 3:15, Matthew 16:18, Acts 1:6–11

In the fifth message of our What We Bleed series, Pastor Jeff Maness teaches that we should understand our place, our power, and our purpose. Doing so will help us fulfill His plan and our call as God's Church!

In John 13:34-35 Jesus commands His disciples to love one another. This is why "Love First" is one of the Core Values of The Harbor. In this message Teaching Pastor Weston Savell gives us three reasons we should be sure to put love first every time, and then gives us four ways to apply this.
Come As You Are
May 22, 2022 • Rick Baldwin • Matthew 11:28–30, Luke 5:31–32, John 3:16, John 10:10

Never Stop Growing
