We continue our What We Bleed series with another of the most important Core Values at The Harbor: "Prayer is Our Priority - The work of the church is first and foremost prayer, by which all other work is led, empowered, and supported".

It is God's plan that those who follow Christ serve one another.

And so one of our Core Values at The Harbor is, "Serving Matters - Followers of Jesus should serve in areas that use their God-given gif...

In this message Co-Senior Pastor Jeff Maness takes a chapter out of his book "My Declaration" to teach us...

In Co-Senior Pastor Jeff Maness' first message at The Harbor, he used 1 Samuel 14:1-23 to illustrate that "God will often do the impossible when we are willing to live in the unthinkable".

We all want to feel "good enough”, to feel qualified for the things we do, positions we hold, relationships we have in life. When we feel qualified, we feel safe and secure. But we all have areas in our lives where we feel like the harder we try, the less qualified we feel. Trying so hard to be good enough can create anxiety, frustration, exhaustion, and an empty life.  But what if there is a...
