Simple Substance
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches us the definition of a relationship with God and he challenges us to a higher vision of life. Commitments are a part of our lives. God is the ultimate “follow-througher” on commitments. Are you displaying the heart of God with yours?

Are You Satisfied with Your Marriage?
What does a healthy marriage look like? There are a lot of competing messages about marriage in our culture. The bible's message is clear - we can't be satisfied in marriage unless we understand the essence of marriage and how marriage provides a picture of an even greater relationship

Set Apart In A Secular Society
Daniel 1:3-21 Daniel wasn't a prophet by profession, but an administrator in a pagan palace moonlighting as a prophet. In this context, it was Daniel's life that God used to model how the people of Israel were to live <in exile> in a secular society, while waiting for the coming of the Messiah. It was to make a name for Christ among the Gentiles. The key to Israel's usefulness to God was their holiness. God uses clean vessels to carry out His will and glorify His name. As such, the Israelites were called to stand out in a lost and dying world. We see from the history of the people of Israel that as long as they obeyed God, they would be blessed by Him and when they disobeyed God, He brought forth nations against them and consigned them to exile in faraway lands. During the time of Daniel, the Jews were exiled in Babylon for seventy years. It was in this setting that God used Daniel as a shining example of what it is like to stand out in a secular society. We see that we are to become different than the world - not like it. All facets of our lives should serve to make us distinct from the world, and less and less so over time. In tonight's message, Pastor Ramey delivers four encouragements found in verses 3-21 of Daniel 1 that show us how to live a courageous, uncompromising life so that God can use us to demonstrate His glory to the world. We are encouraged in that 1. God allows us to be in conditions of compromise (vv. 3-7) 2. God grants us the courage not to compromise (v. 8) 3. God honors our commitment to not compromise (vv. 9-16) 4. God uses us when we don't compromise (vv. 17-21) From these encouragements we see that if we lose our distinction, we lose our ability to impact the world as God intended. It is this radical difference that catches the attention of the world and magnifies the hopelessness of those who live without Christ. Each of these encouragements should motivate us to reject compromise - no matter what the cost. And, our God protects those who are committed to Him. Our great encouragement is knowing that the God of Daniel - the God of the Bible, is our God too! All of these

Garbage In Garbage Out
We must feast on those things that nourish our souls rather than partake of only spiritual garbage. We are called to reach out to those whom we would rather not associate with. James has a message for us today.

Members, Our Partners
Our desire is that every member advances in their journey as a Biblical servant leader by realizing and fulfilling God’s calling in their life in the church and community. This will only happen as grasp what the Bible has to say about the nature and scope of the of servant leaders within the church. Over the next four weeks, we will examine the leadership structure that is outlined in the New Testament for the church and how that works itself out here at Harvest Pointe. Ultimately, our hope is for everyone to realize that they are called by God, from the moment of salvation, to play their part in our combined efforts to fulfill the Great Commission and Great Commandment as a church.

The Lost Art of Discipleship
Recently, there has been a call to action within the Body of Christ (Church) to return to the foundational teachings of Christ on developing disciples. As the culture changes and trends come and go, the art of discipleship is being rediscovered and many churches are making the move to placing biblical discipleship at the top of their priority lists once again!
