Harvest Church of Minden

#131 Council Communication

As he disciples of the early church would have councils and debates on topics and then report it to the church. This week we have a discussion around General Council and what will be happening in the coming years in terms of the discussions in the denomination. We also look at some of the vision surrounding Missions and the importance of advancing the gospel message.

#130 In the Garden Part 2

After the time of prayer we see the betrayal and arrest of Jesus. We see the denial by Peter and the Israelites as well. Betrayal is a stronghold that is difficult for many to overcome, but it is also something that we are all guilty of before a holy God.

#129 In The Garden Part 1

Today we look at the agony that Jesus faces while in the garden. He prays for God's will to be done and is strengthened by an angel as he wrestles through the agonizing event. He continues to be our model of what it means to align ourselves to the will of the Father. 

#128 Dinner Conversations

Still at the Passover Meal, Jesus and the disciples have some interesting conversations revolving around greatness, Satan wanting to sift them, and how harder times are coming, so the the disciples would need to be faithful to what God has called them to. 

#127 The New Covenant

Jesus institutes a New Covenant in order to deal with the greatest need that we have, redeeming us from our sin. We also look at our attitudes surrounding sin in order to test whether or not we are understanding the holiness of God. 

#126 Jesus Warns the People

As the people are marveling at the magnificence of the temple, Jesus warns them about how none of it would last. He warns them of the coming destruction and the future wars before his return. The disciples needed to understand that they were to persevere and recognize the impermanence of everything other than the word of God. 

#125 Trouble with the Scribes

After correcting the Sadducees, Jesus now turns to the Scribes who needed corrected in their doctrine and their behavior. Facing correction and criticism is hard to deal with for most people, but as Christian brothers and sisters we need to be able to speak the truth in love in order to draw each other closer to the Lord. 

#124 The Things of the Earth and the Things of Heaven

Jesus answers two more questions from people with different beliefs or people trying to trap him. He meets them where they are at, cutting through craftiness and worldly beliefs to show the authority of His word. 

#123 The Authority of Jesus

Many people struggle when it comes to issues of authority and who is in control. We can say that God has authority, but is it something that is really lived out in our life? Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and earth. He is the king, and we are called to submit to his authority.

#122 Resurrection Sunday

Combining holy week into a message and communion to show the importance of the resurrection to the Christian faith. Our hope for being raised to everlasting life is around the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead.
