Harmony with Rob

If you want blessing in your life, then see God as your shepherd. That makes you a sheep! 

When life falls apart, God is available to gather us up and rebuild us.  He just asks that we keep believing! 

If you want blessing in your life it has to start with accepting an important invitation. Its the one where he stands outside of your heart and asks if He can come in and live. 

Getting things right can be important in life. God called upon Jacob to take a stand in his families activities and move them toward a different lifestyle. It was time to do things right! Sometimes we need to make decisions that preserve the blessings of life by doing what God calls on us to do. 

To forgive or be forgiven both require a surrender. When we surrender at times like that, and all that time with God, we are finding blessing.  

God has designed blessing to go with those who love Him and want to be blessed by Him. To be blessed has nothing to do with luck or having it easy. It's about having the hand of God upon a life that is protected and directed. It's available, but we need to want it. 

Having a vision for a church or your individual life is more than just setting goals. God's Word is the director of our lives and our future. This message challenges Harmony to be visionary and at the end I share some specifics about where Harmony Church is going! Its a little longer than normal because of that vision talk at the end. I hope you think it's worth it to listen all the way!

One of the Harmony Church elders, Ken Davis, speaks from his heart about leaning in to this incredible privilege  we have of enjoying a relationship with God. 

Following a "ghost" can seem awkward to us sometimes, even if that ghost is Holy! Following God means following and having a deep relationship with the Holy Spirit. It brings power, guidance, comfort and strength to our lives. 

Serving others is a heart beat of the way the great commission is accomplished. We have been called to be a part of the greatest gathering the world has ever seen as God fulfills His passionate will to bring the world to Him!

Faith is not a one person thing. God designed us to live out our walk in community. It's about belonging, no matter where you come from, or what your traits, when you meet Christ, you become a member of His forever family. 

There's hope! No matter our habits or hang ups, finding God means finding hope and genuine life change. But its not just about making a list of things to correct about ourselves. Its about letting God become the master artist of our lives. 

Whether it's in our church, or in your personal life, there are times when you must take action. This message prepares us for moving forward knowing God has inspired us.  

Does it matter that we do church? It does because God has designed it for a special purpose. However, how we choose to do that and bring our worship before God matters matters also. 

Does it matter that we have church?  In this new series, we dive into the culture and mission of Harmony Church. 

In this last installment of the series, we look at what happens after evil is defeated in the lives of the ancient Hebrews and what that means to us. The same awaits all followers of God who are willing to walk in His ways. 

Even in this ancient drama of courage and  pain, God's plan to save those who turn to Him is clear. It is the gospel that we need to remember in times of challenge. 

When God wants to do something great, He always has someone make a step of faith first. Faith activates great things in our lives. In this series from the book of Esther, the unseen hand of God moves powerfully through the faith of a young Hebrew queen.

One of the Harmony Church elder's Pete Walsworth, shares a message about wisdom. It can seem elusive, but God is ready to share it quickly and easily.  

A tipping point with God is a divine moment with the will of God becomes clear and we are left to respond. In the Bible a young queen named Esther faced a tipping point and declared she was all in the for will of God. There is a lot for us to learn from her response.

Queen Esther was the name of a woman living in a time of great tyranny. She was called upon by God to rethink her purpose and step out in boldness in hopes of saving a nation. Our lives deal with problems and brokenness, but God's hand, although unseen, leads us through it.

Believing in God in an unbelieving world can make us feel that God is distant and that His plans have been interrupted. The story of Esther in the Bible teaches us that even when we are living in chaos, God's hand is at work.

You can be inspired to pray! Prayer is a miracle given to us as a gift. This message helps provide the inspiration we all need to pray just like Jesus did.

Guilt is not a great motivator. We need insight. Insight from Christ will help us understand that prayer is a lot easier than we sometimes think. 

When Jesus cursed a fig tree and flipped a table at the temple, it left the on lookers confused. Was He caving to the stress of His last week or was there something deeper going on? In fact,  two events teach a significant message about the difference between religious thinking and hope in Christ.
