Harrison Hills Church

As we celebrate 80 years of God's faithfulness, we're called to move forward in faith, just as the Israelites were commanded to advance towards the Red Sea. The story of Exodus reminds us that God often leads us into seemingly impossible situations to demonstrate His power and provision. Today, we face our own 'Red Sea' moment as we embark on a project to make our church more accessible. This ende...

In this powerful message, we're taken on a journey from the pit to the palace, exploring the life of Joseph and the profound spiritual lessons it holds for us today. The central theme revolves around how God uses struggles and challenges to shape our character and prepare us for our destiny. We're reminded that our gifts can take us further than our character can sustain us, emphasizing the import...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of partial praise. Drawing from Genesis 1, we explore how God declared each day of creation 'good' before its completion. This principle teaches us to find gratitude and joy in the process, not just the end result. As we face our own 'evenings' - times of darkness or uncertainty - we're encouraged to praise God, trusting that mor...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reflect on our true purpose as followers of Christ. The parable of the ten minas from Luke 19 serves as a stark reminder of our calling to 'occupy' until Christ's return. This isn't about passive waiting, but active engagement in expanding God's kingdom. The story of Zacchaeus beautifully illustrates Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, regardless...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the enduring truth that God is with us in every season of life. Through the story of David - as a madman, a mercenary, and a king - we see how God's faithfulness persists even when we find ourselves in places we should never be. The key lesson is that no matter our circumstances, whether of our own making or not, God is always ready to help when we call...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of a profound truth: we have already put on Christ. This isn't just a metaphor, but a spiritual reality that empowers us to live differently. The key scripture, Galatians 3:27, tells us that those baptized into Christ have 'put on Christ.' This truth precedes any command to act - God declares what is true before He gives us a task. We're challenged to see o...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the incredible gift of rest that God offers us. The sermon delves into Hebrews 4, emphasizing that there's a divine rest available to God's people - one that goes beyond physical relaxation. This rest is found in God's presence, particularly in His house. We're challenged to approach worship with gladness and thanksgiving, like the Israelites singing Son...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the timeless story of David and Goliath, and how it speaks to our own battles today. The central theme revolves around trusting God completely, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. We're challenged to examine where we place our trust - in our own strength and resources, or in God's power and provision. The story of David rejecting Saul's a...

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound impact of friction in our spiritual lives. Through the lens of Acts 15 and 2 Timothy 4, we witness the transformative journey of John Mark, Paul, and Barnabas. Their story reminds us that friction, though uncomfortable, can reveal our true character and catalyze growth. The analogy of a coffee cup beautifully illustrates how life's ch...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of a 'bloodline breakthrough' in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around how our spiritual DNA can supersede our natural heritage, offering hope and redemption regardless of our past or family history. The story of Rahab, a harlot who became part of Jesus' lineage, illustrates how one decision to align with God can...

In this profound exploration of grace, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's unmerited favor in our lives. The story of Ephraim serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating how easily we can forget our spiritual adoption and the grace that brought us into God's family. We're challenged to consider: Are we, like Ephraim, becoming entitled, bitter, or divisive? Or are we staying close to...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to see Jesus as more than just our Savior - He's our ultimate example. The sermon delves into John 5, where Jesus heals on the Sabbath, revealing His divine authority. This act wasn't just about breaking rules; it was a declaration of His deity. We're reminded that Jesus was fully God and fully man, the visible image of the invisible God. This dual nature...

In this powerful exploration of Luke 22:31-32, we delve into the profound concept of spiritual sifting. Satan's desire to sift us like wheat isn't just about temptation - it's an attempt to utterly destroy our faith and render us useless for God's kingdom. But there's hope! Jesus intercedes for us, praying not that we won't fall, but that our faith won't fail completely. This reminds us that God's...

In this powerful message, we're reminded that our afflictions can be a catalyst for spiritual growth and alignment with God's will. The key scripture, Psalm 119:71, sets the tone: 'It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.' This teaching challenges us to view our trials not as mere obstacles, but as opportunities for deepening our faith. The story of King Jerob...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to move from 'here' to 'there' in our spiritual journey. The story of Jacob wrestling with God at Peniel (Genesis 32:24-30) serves as a profound metaphor for our own struggles with the Divine. We're reminded that God often pursues us, seeking our full attention amidst life's distractions. The wrestling match symbolizes our prayer life - a fervent, persist...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of God's power. While we often associate divine power with spectacular miracles, the true transformative power of God works within us, reshaping our souls and character. The sermon draws from 2 Timothy 3:1-5, warning us about the dangers of having a form of godliness without its power. We're reminded that the greatest mirac...

In this powerful message, we delve into the story of Apollos from Acts 18, exploring the danger of preaching only half the gospel. Apollos, though eloquent and fervent, knew only the baptism of John - a message of repentance without the full power of the Holy Spirit. This serves as a profound reminder that our spiritual journey doesn't end at repentance; it's just the beginning. We're called to em...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and tongues, focusing on the dangers of complaining and self-indulgence. The story of Lot and Sodom serves as a stark reminder of how easily we can be drawn towards destructive behaviors. We're shown how Lot's gradual descent – from pitching his tent towards Sodom to eventually sitting at its gates – mirrors our own potential for spi...

In this powerful message, we explore the profound theme of 'The Fear that Built the Calf,' drawing from the biblical account of Jeroboam in 1 Kings. We're challenged to confront how fear can lead us astray from God's promises, just as it did Jeroboam. The central insight is that when faith is replaced, fear takes over, often resulting in misguided attempts to control our circumstances. We're remin...

Dive into a transformative journey of faith with "When God Says No." This sermon guides you through the intricacies of understanding God's sometimes unexpected answers. Just like Joseph in Pharaoh's court or Daniel in the lion's den, discover the power of trusting in God's plan over our own desires. Are we seeking merely answers, or are we truly seeking God’s heart? Through captivating biblical st...

Join us as Dr. James Hughes delves into Revelation 3, revealing its timeless lessons for our modern lives. In this sermon titled "A Bored Mind," Dr. Hughes challenges us to confront the comfort and complacency that prosperity can bring. Using the narrative of the church at Laodicea, we are invited to reevaluate our faith and avoid the pitfalls of lukewarm spirituality. Through personal stories and...

This sermon explores the importance of gratitude in our relationship with God, using the story of Jesus feeding the multitude as a backdrop. The pastor emphasizes that even when facing seemingly impossible situations, our first response should be thankfulness for what we already have. He highlights Jesus' example of giving thanks before performing the miracle, teaching us to approach God with grat...
