Straight Talk for Women
Sex is a good gift that God designed and gave to His people. This message is a candid conversation for women from a man's perspective concerning this topic. The truth of the matter is though sex is a good gift from God, it can also be the very thing that divides and conquers a relationship. This sermon seeks to help husbands and wives understand the uniqueness of their partners as God designed them, so they might better navigate this area of their lives together.

Sexuality
In our culture today there is a predominant view that sex is just an act; something you do. In his letter to the church in Corinth, Paul makes the case that sexuality involves more than just our bodies. This is about so much more than a physical experience and in this sermon, Jed helps us to understand that sex is God's idea and He has a purpose for it.

Lose Your Seat
When a person decides to follow Christ it means modeling the same humility and lack of selfishness that Jesus demonstrated. Needless to say, this is not an easy task. Pride and insecurity seek to choke out our desire to be humble servants of God. Yet God promises that when we humble ourselves in His sight, He will lift us up. This message is an attempt to help us navigate what John the Baptist meant when he said, "He must increase; I must decrease."

Lose Your Grip
Jesus' message was never a casual call to convenient living. Jesus' call was to a whole-hearted commitment to His Lordship. In this message we look at the difference between being religeous and being righteous. Religion has mostly to do with a commitment to a set of beliefs that displays itself in outward actions. Righteousness is different. Righteousness is about a relationship. Religion is about being properly aligned with a set of moral rules or boundaries, while righteousness is about our hearts being aligned with God.

Of all the difficult messages Jesus spoke to his potential followers, one stands out above the rest: ‘If you try to hang onto your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.’ In this sermon, we examine Jesus’ counter-intuitive message of loving our enemies, blessing those who curse us & doing good to those who would hurt us. In this message wediscover what it means to live by letting go.

Give Freely
Matthew 10:8 states, "Freely you have received, freely give." It is a foundational verse for our vision at Harbor of Hope; to be people who give freely, who lead generous lives. The questions that arise from this message have to do with whether or not we, as God's people, have become overly concerned with our own comfort, as oppossed to investing our lives in the causes of Christ and His Kingdom.

Live Fully
Life starts with a reunion between humanity and the King; that's the truth which lies at the heart of the Gospel message. The Kingdom of God is the treasure that Jesus came to make available to all through His death and resurrection. This is why Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life , and have it to the full."

Conquered: Part 1
This sermon asks one simple, yet profound question: "What will I do with the cross?" Every one of us stands in desperate need of Christ and the cross. We had a debt to be paid due to our sin and God Himself paid it. There was a penalty to be born and God Himself bore it. So what do we do in response to such amazing mercy & grace? Will we run toward it or from it? Will we explore and embrace it or ignore it? What will you do with the cross?
