Harbor Church Weekend Podcast

In this final week of The Way of the Cross, we arrive at the resurrection—but not as a neat, polished ending. Instead, we find a group of followers still wrestling with fear, doubt, and uncertainty, reminding us that belief is often a journey, not a moment. Through the story of Thomas, we see that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our questions, offering peace and invitation rather than shame....

In Week 5 of The Way of the Cross, we step into the silence of the tomb—the space between death and resurrection where nothing seems to be happening and God feels distant. Through the quiet faith of Joseph and Nicodemus, we see that following Jesus isn't always loud or certain, but often looks like simply moving toward Him in the unknown. This message reminds us that silence is not absence—God is...

In Week 4 of The Way of the Cross, we witness the crucifixion through the eyes of the crowd in Luke 23—each response revealing something about our own hearts. From the casual passerby to the critical elitists and the repentant thief, we see both humanity's resistance to the cross and the invitation to surrender. At the center stands Jesus, offering forgiveness in the midst of suffering and opening...

In this message, we follow Jesus from the trial before Pilate to the brutal Roman flogging that revealed the depth of His love. What looked like weakness, humiliation, and injustice was actually redemption unfolding, as Jesus willingly endured suffering He did not deserve in order to bring healing to those who did. This message invites us to wrestle with the kind of King Jesus is—not one who conqu...

In Week 2 of The Way of the Cross, we move from the quiet surrender of the garden to the public trial of Jesus. After praying "Not my will," Jesus faces accusation, injustice, and misunderstanding—yet responds with remarkable restraint and trust in the Father. His silence reveals a powerful truth: when our hearts are surrendered to God, we no longer have to control the narrative or defend our repu...

In Week 1 of The Way of the Cross, we begin not at the empty tomb, but in the Garden of Gethsemane. While we're often tempted to rush toward resurrection, Jesus invites us to slow down and sit with surrender—because the path to victory begins in the dark. In the garden, where humanity once grasped for control, Jesus prays, "Not My will, but Yours be done," showing us that real faith is forged not...

In this last message in our (un)follow series, we confront a common struggle: we often measure our worth by our performance—and secretly enjoy the failures of others while cringing at our own. Through Peter's story, we see what happens when success becomes identity, and how devastating failure feels when it does. But Jesus doesn't leave Peter in shame; He pursues him, restores him, and recommissio...

In this talk, we confront the reality that following Jesus inevitably leads to friction. In John 6, when Jesus' teaching shifts from inspiring to intrusive, many disciples walk away—revealing that everyone follows Him until it costs them something they love. This message explores the tension between admiration and allegiance, agreement and obedience, and asks the honest question: Are we following...

In this message, we explore how following Jesus is never neutral—it always leads to formation. Drawing from Luke 6:40, this message unpacks the truth that over time, we become like the one we follow, shaped by proximity, habits, and relationships. Discipleship isn't about trying harder or knowing more; it's about staying close enough to Jesus for real transformation to take place. The invitation i...

In a world saturated with voices competing for our attention, this opening message of the (un)Follow series asks a piercing question: Who are you really following? Drawing from Jesus' words in John 10 and His invitation to the first disciples in Matthew 4, this message makes clear that following Jesus is more than admiration or agreement—it's a reordering of our lives around Him. True discipleship...

Faith doesn't mature through information alone—it grows when truth is lived out in everyday obedience. In this message from Colossians 3:12 –17, we explore how real transformation happens when hearing God's Word becomes doing it. Spiritual growth is intentional, formed through consistent practice as we put on Christlike character and surrender our lives to him. This message invites you to identify...

We often default to seeing obstacles instead of the opportunities God is inviting us into, which is why so many good intentions fade, and faith feels stalled. Through the story of Israel, Caleb, and Joshua in Numbers 13–14, this message shows how fear keeps us bound to the past while faith breaks us free, anchors us in God's promises, and helps us trust Him beyond our comfort. When the faith we pr...

We often confuse movement with maturity, believing that busyness equals faithfulness—but Scripture invites us to something slower and deeper. In this message, we explore what it means to walk humbly with God , learning Jesus' pace of presence, connection, and daily obedience, and rediscovering that true fruitfulness flows not from striving, but from abiding.

What happens when the pace of your life becomes unsustainable—and you're forced to slow down? In this message, we explore how Jesus invites us to reset our rhythms by moving from simply hearing His words to actually building our lives on them. As we step into a new year, discover what it looks like to return to Christ as our cornerstone and embrace rhythms that lead to lasting stability, healing,...

As Christmas fades and a new year begins, we pause to reflect on where God has met us and what we carry forward. In this epilogue to He Will Be Called, we revisit the names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—and see how they speak into the seasons ahead. These aren't just Christmas titles; they describe the Savior who walks with us into every moment o...
