Harvest Church of Minden

#171 Resurrection Sunday

The most important date on the church calendar is Resurrection Sunday. Paul said if Jesus was not raised from the dead, then we are still in our sins. It is important to understand the truths of the Christian faith, to guide our faith and as we share the gospel message with those around us. 

#170 Palm Sunday

We begin Holy week with a reflection on Palm Sunday and why Jesus' entrance was so important to the prophecies believed by the Jews at the time. They are similar to what we look forward to in his second coming. We need to be accessible, prepared and be careful of praises of men. 

#169 The Gift of a Word of Wisdom

Diving into the first gift in 1 Cor. 12, we define and understand wisdom and how it is rooted in God. This is the basis for us to be able to share this gift. 

#168 1 Cor. Overview

Today we look at the context of the letter to the Corinthians as we begin to study the Spiritual gifts in Chapter 12.

#167 The Gift of Acts of Mercy

Mercy is such a complicated term to understand. There are so many facets to the definition and synonyms. We are to be people of mercy, because mercy was given to us. And we are to give this mercy with cheerfulness. 

#166 The Gift of Leaders

Today we break down the gift of leading and how it is to be done in the Lord. Comparing what we see in the Bible to what we experience in the world, it is easy to tell that we need a lot more godly leaders, and it starts at home. 

#165 The Gift of Contribution

Contributing comes from a heart of humility that understands what we have been given from God in Christ. From that heart we contribute or give a share of what we have to build up the body and encourage one another as the Spirit has called us to give.  

#164 The Gift of Exhortation

Today we look at the importance of encouraging one another in Christ in order to build up the body. There are many opportunities each day to encourage someone else, are we doing so in vanity, or are we encouraging people unto Christ?

#163 The Gift of Teaching

Today we look at the important gift of teaching, and the need to base it in the word. WE also look at the misleading and false nature of deconstruction within the church. He and he alone is our source for truth. 

#162 The Gift of Service

Today we begin our walkthrough of the individual gifts and we start with Service in Romans 12. The question is similar throughout history, whom will you serve. After being all in for Jesus, we need to obey the promptings of the Spirit as he calls us to serve in a variety of ways.
