Harvest Church of Minden

#263 Relationship Intro

After a break due to the loss of our building to a tornado, we are back to our podcast. There are some frequency issues, but we are working out the kinks to our portable set up. Today we are just beginning our series on relationships, laying out the path and addressing a reoccurring problem in most relationships, pride. 

#262 Obstacle of Morality

Today we scratch the surface on a more in depth topic with the issue of absolute truth and morality. An obstacle to faith that tells us truth is relative and what is right for you may not be right for me. This narrative has impacted the church in devasting ways and we need to understand that God gives his moral standard in the word, and he expects obedience. 

#261 The Obstacle of Happiness

Psalm 1, 128, Lamentations 3, Ecc. 2

Today we look at the obstacle of happiness, where our culture celebrates the narrative of doing what you want that makes you feel happy. In the endless pursuit of fun experiences, we rush around seeking an end goal that will never be satisfied. We instead need to rest in the satisfaction of the Lord's salvation. 

#260 Obstacle of Freedom

1 Cor. 6:12-20, 1 Cor. 10:23-24, John 8:32-33, Gal. 5:1

Today we discuss the obstacle that freedom plays to our faith. Our understanding is tainted by the worldview that expresses the belief that we are free to do what we want as long as it is not hurting someone else. The biblical understanding of freedom from oppression gets lost in the noise of the culture around us. 

#259 Easter Message

1 Pet. 1:3-9

One Resurrection Sunday, we look to the hope that we have in our Risen Lord and Savior. We look at the wonderful mercy of God to fulfill the plan of redemption, and the joy that we have in Christ! He is Risen!

#258 Palm Sunday

John 12:12-18

Today we look at what Jesus brings as he enters into Jerusalem to a cheering crowd. He draws our attention to his purposes, gives us comprehension and understanding. And then he shows us how to be devoted to those purposes. 

#257 Obstacle of Identity

1 Tim. 1:12-17; 2 Cor. 4:1-6; Rom. 1:16-2:11

Today we look at a more specific obstacle within our culture, identity. With a firm understanding of the gospel message in our own lives, we can stand firm in the truth of the word to battle the enemy who is blinding the unbelievers. In this downward spiraling of culture we cannot lose hope as we attempt to share the joy of the Lord. 

#256 Conviction of the Gospel

Isaiah 43, Acts 2 - Today we begin a look at our convictions. Knowing what we believe and why. Starting with the bad news and good news of the gospel message in order to firm up our foundation

#255 Demonstration

1 Cor. 2:1-5; 1 Cor. 9:19-27

Today we look at how Paul demonstrates his faith in word and deed in order to win some for Christ. Are we able to be all things for all people with the convictions of sharing the gospel no matter the cost. 

#254 Obstacle of Attraction

Acts 17.

Today we look at how the attraction in culture is away from God, and how as believers our goal is an attraction to the gospel message.
