The Harbour Christian Church

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 21:1-26. This is a mixed bag text where we cover prophecy, relationships and reputation - very relevant for our lives today!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 20:17-38. This text is a reminder that following Jesus is not just a one-time event (at salvation), but an entire life and lifestyle. This text gives a word to church elders.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 20:1-16. This 'grab bag' text has a little of everything: defining Biblical encouragement, hammering home the need for relationships with other believers, a reminder that miracles can and do still happen, and a word of perseverance for Christians as we journey down the road of life with Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 19:21-41. This text is about a riot that took place in the city of Ephesus during the apostle Paul's time spent there. Like much of God's Word, though, there is a deeper principle at play here. It's all about WORSHIP, and who or what comes first in our lives.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 19:1-20. We have been talking at length about the mission of the Church, which, in short, is "more Jesus". Here in Acts 19, we examine a number of things believers will likely encounter the more we dig into the mission in our everyday lives.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 18:24-28. It's a simple text, where a believer named Apollos was taught and encouraged by other believers named Priscilla and Aquila - but there is a DEEP principle at play underneath it all. It's all about discipleship and more Jesus - the mission we have as Christians.

In this message from Easter Sunday 2025, Pastor Braden answers a simple (but important!) question: what's the deal with Easter?

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 18:1-23. Here, we're back onto the mission - more Jesus (in my life and in the lives of others). Acts 18 gives us four more principles of how we can faithfully engage in the work of the mission as believers.

This is Marius Goguen bringing us a practical tutorial of how to share our faith in Jesus with others. Yes, if you're a Christian, this is something you need to know how to do, AND something you need to be doing!!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 17:16-34. This is another text all about the mission (more Jesus in my life and in the lives of those around me). Here, we cover six more practical points that help us engage in the mission more effectively!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 17:1-15. This section of scripture demonstrates that when Jesus is revealed - by the Gospel being preached, by a miracle taking place, by God's Word being read, etc. - there are only two possible responses: we can either receive him or resist him. One choice leads to life and fruitfulness; the other causes us to drag our heels, waste time, and mi...

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 16:35-40. This text is an account of the apostle Paul and his dealings with the local government in Philippi, who had mistreated him and failed to follow their own governmental policies. This opens up a whole can of worms for Christians and how we are supposed to view and act toward the governments of our day. This one is spicy, so grab a drink and...

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 16:19-34. This text contains several different principles for us as we seek to engage in the mission we have been given, which is MORE JESUS - in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 16:16-18 - a text all about an encounter Paul and Silas had with the demonic. This opens a whole door for us - what's the deal with the demonic? What are demons? How do they operate? What objectives are they trying to achieve? What can we as Christians do about them? This message is not an exhaustive, "here's everything you could ever possibly le...

All Christians have a mission - more Jesus. More Jesus in my life, and more Jesus in the lives of the people God has placed in my sphere of influence. This mission requires intentionality and hard work, but is SO worth it. In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 15:41-16:15. This text contains four principles that pertain to our pursuit of the mission God has given us.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 15:36-40, which recounts the (bumpy) beginning to Paul's second missionary journey. Here, a mess emerges that threatens to derail ministry, but God shows up and covers it by his grace. We're called to be missionaries and ministers for Jesus as well, and in the same fashion, he can use us in spite of our messes.

The book of Acts weaves back and forth between the spread of the Gospel and the life of the Church, and there are principles about both things all through the book. Why? Because the two are closely tied together. If the Church is healthy, the Gospel will sound forth from it, and when the Gospel is being spread, it helps and strengthens the Church. In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 1...

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 14. This chapter, like much of this section of Acts, is about the spread of the Gospel. It is full of principles for our walk as believers today, and how we need to see ourselves as contributors to the advancement of the Kingdom in our day!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 13:13-52. This text is all about the Gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is critically important to the Christian walk and for the world that doesn't know Jesus. The Gospel is BOTH a reality to be lived and experienced, AND a message to be shared. We NEED to be doing both!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 12:25-13:12. This text is a 'grab bag' of different topics - what a healthy church looks like, how God sends Christians out into the world, and how the Holy Spirit gives us strength to be effective and fruitful in works of ministry. Remember, Acts is not just a story of what happened in the past; it's a reminder of how God is still moving today!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 12:1-24. This text recounts the narrative of the persecution against the church at the hand of Herod Agrippa I. However, this text is more than just narrative - it is a case study on two ways we can choose to live our lives. We can choose to live like Herod and act like we're God, or we can live like Peter and the Church and actively trust God. T...

In this message, Richard Jones teaches about money - something that is very prone to becoming an idol in our lives. Money is a gift from God, but it should never take the place of God in our lives. If we worship money, we become enslaved by it, but if we worship God with our money, it can be blessed by him and be a blessing for ourselves and others. It's time to put our money where our hearts belo...

In this message, Pastor Braden covers the famous Christmas song "What Child is This?". The main theme from this song is that Jesus is not a secondary matter; our faith in him and walk with him is first importance!

In this message, Pastor Braden analyzes the famous Christmas song "O Come All Ye Faithful". This song is straight to the point - we need to spend our lives beholding, adoring, and giving glory to Jesus. This is literally what life is all about!
