Harvest Church of Minden

Today we explore the phrase, "No Rest for the Wicked" in order to understand how peace from God comes ultimately through Jesus and how obedience to his commands gives us rest in this life now. 

Worries and Fears are things that can dominate our minds and focus. As we face these trials and temptations in life we are still called to trust in the Lord and rest in Him instead of harboring fear and worry. David shares ways in which we can trust in the Lord, rather than fretting ourselves over the evil in this world.

Jesus had authoritative teaching concerning the Sabbath and he challenged the Pharisaic rituals to focus more on mercy and compassion. WE continue our look at the meaning of rest as it concerns the Sabbath from a NT perspective. 

Today we break down rest as it is understood with the Sabbath. The focus is more on the OT passages for this week. We need to understand in our Christian contexts what this holy day means for our walks

We begin the new year with a new series on rest. It is an important topic about something that is not capitalized on in our fast-paced culture. We will explore how to understand biblical rest in the coming weeks by looking at various passages. Today we set up the problem and some good instruction from Psalm 23.

Celebrating Christmas today by looking at Luke 2 and what the coming of our Savior, Christ the Lord meant for a world living in under an earthly emperor. As we compare that to the peace brought by God, we can merely fall down in awe and wonder at the power of our God.

For the 4th Sunday of Advent we look at the parallels between God and us, and David and Mephibosheth. We see the kindness that is expressed throughout to focus on the how God has shown kindness to us through his Son Jesus.

For the third week of Advent, we are discussing how God is love and what that means for us as believers in terms of our confidence and our interactions with others. 

Today we look at the book of Malachi to see the justice of God among a corrupt people that lived by their own definitions of fairness and justice. We need to remember the immutable characteristics of God as we celebrate who he is. 

Starting off our Advent celebration by looking at the prophecy from Isaiah concerning John the Baptist and God saving his people
