Renewed Joy
When we first put our faith in Jesus and become Christians, this is only the first step of faith we take as Christians. Our lives must be characterized by faith and repentance if we are to live joyfully in the good of the gospel. In this sermon, we look at Psalm 126 to see how our joy can be renewed in Jesus.

Angels & Demons
Movies speak to the reality of who we are as people and the things that captivate our hearts and minds. Reel2Real: Harvest Pointe @ The Movies is a sermon series using movies as a backdrop to teach some fundamental truths. Each week we will peak behind the curtain and see the underlying issue that each movie is dealing with and seek to discover what the Bible has to say about these issues. Join us as we seek to go from reel to real in our relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are wondering why we would pick these movies, please know that we are not advocating that you go and see every movie on the list of “Harvest Pointe @ The Movies”. Do your homework (visit www.previewonline.org for a review) and then go and see the movie if that is your decision. We use these movies as a launching place or theme for relevant discussion.

You have studied many strategies for spiritual warfare. As you apply this knowledge you will advance in your ability to fight in the strength and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. But despite your knowledge of these strategies, from time to time you may face failure. Do not be discouraged...some of the greatest men of God faced similar situations. In this chapter you will study about four great men who lost battles but went on to win the war. You will learn steps for recovering from defeat and going on to victory despite failure. You will also learn how to deal with the condemnation of the enemy. Failure can teach important spiritual lessons... and remember... it is possible to lose a battle and still win the war.

Jesus: Our King of Ascent
Where do you turn when things don’t go the way you expect or want? Where do you turn when everything seems to be going your way? What we often fail to realize is the place we turn in difficult or abundant times is really a deeper expression of where our true affections lie. In other words, the object of our worship is revealed. In this message, we will look to Jesus, and explore His attributes as King.

The Authentic Christ (Matthew 4:23-25)
It is interesting when we go to the store to see the labels that say: “100% natural” “No artificial ingredients” “Made with real meat” We have, as a culture, become so artificial that we need assurance of authenticity. So it is in the spiritual realm. Satan is a mastermind of illusion and imitation of reality. We need to know that the One in whom we are commanded to believe is the real deal, that He is authentic. And such is the point of Matthew. Jesus authenticates His Messiahship through the ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing.

Offensive and Defensive Spiritual Warfare
There are two types of warfare in the natural world: Offensive and defensive. The Bible also teaches both defensive and offensive spiritual strategies. You must learn to fight both defensively and offensively. The only other option is desertion, which is unacceptable and very painful.

The enemies strategy and spiritual warfare
The enemy has a strategy. The Holy Spirit put in the Bible anything and everything we would ever need to know. It is our manual for warfare. The devil is a created being and he can't operate out of the parameters in which he was created so God can foretell and know everything it will attempt - always warning us and guiding us to protection. The devil accuses, condemns, and criticizes while God Forgives, Redeems and Sanctifies. Learn the strategies and overcome the weakness you have been convinces is true and the world you have believed brings you happiness. God is love.

Worship in the House of the Lord
Why should Christians be excited to gather with the church? Why should Sunday mornings, when the church traditionally gathers together, be the highlight of the week for Christians? In this sermon, we look at Psalm 122 to find why Christians are glad to "go" to church.
