Harris Creek Baptist Church

What’s the longest you’ve gone without food? What do you think is the longest you could go without food? This past Wednesday, we started the season of Lent, the 40-days leading up to Easter. To embrace this season, we are starting a new sermon series called "I AM". To kick off our new series, JP teaches through John 6 where Jesus calls himself the bread of life, teaching us where true sustenance and life is found.1) Stuff leaves us empty, while The Savior is enough 2) Jesus came here in the flesh to take us home forever 3) We have access, we need only appetite 

When this sermon was recorded on February 19, 2023, there was a gathering at Asbury University that had been going on for over a week. Many people were calling this a revival. What exactly is a revival? To help us better understand, JP interviews Dr. Steve Seamands, who was at Asbury during the 1970 Asbury Revival, as well the beginning of what was happening at Asbury at the time of this sermon.

We know words have the power of life and death yet we too often don’t choose our words wisely. We can have our words change by allowing God to change our hearts and then we can bring life to those around us with our words. 1) Don’t waste words2) Foolish words bring death3) Wise words bring life

Since we live in a broken world, conflict with others is inevitable. The good news is Proverbs has given us direction on how to wisely do conflict in a way that honors God. 1) In conflict, the wise fight to understand,2) In conflict, the wise fight to be gentle,3) In conflict, the wise fight to forgive

When it comes to love and marriage, where do you get your information and guidance? Music and movies have a lot to say about the topic, but what exactly does media and entertainment teach us? As we continue our series, Fool Proof, JP teaches through the topic of adultery and how to fool proof your love and marriage by teaching through Proverbs 5:15-23.1) Do not go outside your marriage2) Be captivated by who you have3) Discipline yourself to escape death

Proverbs is written in order to help us live wisely. We’ll see from the opening verses of Proverbs that in order to grow in wisdom we need to have the right posture and seek out the right person. 1) Wisdom starts with a posture of humility2) Wisdom starts with the person of Jesus

As we flip the calendar to a New Year, it's important for us to reflect on what God has done in this past year. What has He taught us? What are the sins we need to leave behind?1) The people of God need to remember what God has done2) We share what God has done to encourage each other

It’s Christmas Eve! Where does your attention go during the Christmas season? Is it more about Jesus’ birth or about all the gifts and things you have going on in life? If we aren’t careful, we can start with Jesus but then the attention will shift toward ourselves. As we finish our series, “It’s Complicated,” we examine the complications around Jesus’ birth and the complications for us today as we celebrate His birthday.1) Division 2) Travel 3) Unforeseen Circumstances 4) Accommodations 5) Work 

When you are going through grief or loneliness in the Christmas season, it seems like there is no place for you. In this sermon we look at who our God is in the midst of our grief and who we can be to those who are grieving. The Lord hears youThe Lord is near to youThe Lord will deliver you

Do you like to get gifts on your birthday? What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve received? As we continue our series, the Good Life, JP teaches us about generosity as we study 2 Corinthians 9:6-13, showing us the good life is found through giving generously, cheerfully, and faithfully.1) Give generously2) Give cheerfully 3) Give faithfully 

If you had the opportunity to win the lottery or get a venomous snake as a pet, which would you choose? Is it an obvious answer? As we continue our series, The Good Life, JP teaches through Matthew 6:19-24, showing us we don’t really believe what the Scriptures teach when it comes to money.1) The good life is determined by where you store2) The good life is determined by how you see3) The good life is determined by who you serve 

Have you ever felt like it would be easier for you to live a more isolated life? In this message we talk about how isolation may feel easier, but it isn’t better. We were made for deep relationships and the Bible shows us how to have them! Meaningful relationships come from loving one another deeplyMeaningful relationships come from offering hospitality joyfully Meaningful relationships come from serving one another faithfully 

So many thoughts come to mind as we think about work. But the solution isn’t a new job or more money, it is a biblical perspective on work. 1. How should we work? Obediently with a sincere heart. 2. Who do we work for? For the Lord. 3. Why do we work? For the future reward.
