How we respond to crisis has everything to do with our view of God. God wants to use the crisis in our lives to draws us closer to him and put his greatness on display. Pastor Rick Donald shares with us from 1 Samuel how God’s Word would have us respond to crisis in a way that brings us closer to God. 

This is our third and final sermon in our sermon series, “Upside Down Kingdom.” This week we are talking about God’s view on sex. The message of our world is that sex is for “me.” In Hebrews 13 we find that God’s message is that sex is for marriage. We look to God’s Word for instruction and help on how to live according to God’s plan for sex and also for forgiveness when we fall short. 

The topic of money is always a touchy subject in church. But, God’s Word has a lot to say about our finances. In a culture that loves money we want to honor God with ours.

The values of the world are upside down when compared to those of Christ’s Kingdom. However, since we are living in the world as we seek to follow Christ we are seen as upside down. Our sermon series, Upside Down Kingdom, challenges us to be watchful of the worldy views that can easily sneak their way into our everyday way of life.  

Our mission at Harvest Bible Chapel is to make disciples in Fairfax. This is where God has called us to live and work. What is your part? How can you be a part of the mission here in northern Virginia? Pastor Jeff gives us 5 challenges from Colossians  to point us in the right direction to reach or friends and neighbors with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Psalm 103:2 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Remembering who God is and what he has done is so important to the Christian because remembering stokes the fire of our hearts to worship God. 

Psalm 51 is the prayer of David after he is confronted with his sin. As we read and learn from his prayer of confession and repentance we find that we too, while grieving the sin in our life can find joy and freedom in God’s forgiveness.   

Psalm 1 and 2 compliment each other. In a way, they serve as an introduction to the book of Psalms as a whole. Psalms is more than a book of songs and prayers. It is instructive. We see that in these first two chapters as we learn how choosing godliness leads to worshipping the one true God. 

One of our 4 pillars at Harvest is “Unsahamed Adoration.” We want to lift high the name of Jesus in worship because he is worthy. In Psalm 122 we see that we have been given an invitation to worship the Lord. How are you going to answer that invitation?
