The Harbour Christian Church

In this message, Pastor Braden leads us through the famous Christmas song "Joy to the World". It may surprise you to know that this was not even originally intended to be a Christmas song! Rather, it focuses much attention to the second coming of Christ. However, we can (and do) still sing this as a great Christmas song that quickens our hearts during the holiday season.

In this series, we unpack one familiar Christmas song per week and analyze it. We want to get a better understanding on what the words mean (!), of the scriptural richness of each song, and most importantly, to behold Jesus in them! The first song is Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

In this message, Marius Goguen brings a word about the lukewarm church of Laodicea from Revelation chapter 3. This is a timely and practical word for how to help combat lukewarmness in our faith!

In this final message in our Philippians series, Pastor Braden teaches on Philippians 4:10-23. Here, we see the concept of Godly generosity - a readiness to give more as God leads us to. If we're going to continue well, we need to possess and practice this kind of generosity!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Philippians 4:4-9. This is an incredibly famous scripture for a reason: it clearly details how we can experience "the peace of God" (a state of rest and blessing in Jesus where he governs, and not conflict, disorder and fear). Every believer needs this if we're going to continue well!

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Philippians 4:2-3. This short text deals with conflict amongst believers - yes, it happens, because we are real people! The important thing is how we handle such conflict. Thankfully, God's Word is clear on how we are to do that, and what's at stake in doing conflict resolution right.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Philippians 3:1-4:1. This text is all about the Gospel - good news to build your life upon. Here, we see five false gospels and what happens when we build on them, and also the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, and what happens when we build upon it!

In this text, Pastor Braden teaches through Philippians 2:1-11.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Philippians 1:27-30. This short section of scripture is a reminder for us to check ourselves (before we wreck ourselves!); specifically, if we're going to continue well, we need to examine ourselves up against the truth and reality of the Gospel.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Philippians 1:12-26. This text is all about pain and hardship, and what it means for us to continue well through these obstacles life throws at us.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Philippians 1:9-11. If we are going to continue well, we need to "approve what is excellent" - in other words, we need to celebrate and do what is godly, healthy and helpful according to God. And according to Philippians 1, we can approve what is excellent when we grow in three key areas: love, knowledge and discernment.

This is the first message in our series going through the book of Philippians verse by verse. A main theme running through this book and series is that of "continuing well"; God finishes what he starts, and he is ready, willing and able to do his part in that. The question is, are we? This message deals in particular with our identity (who we really are), and how living out our true identity (who...

This is the final message in our Digging Deep series. In it, Pastor Braden brings a word about removing the clutter of sin from our lives. Making the most of our pursuit of God isn't just a matter of adding good things to our walk, but also removing the ungodly, unhelpful ones (with Jesus' help).

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 11:19-30. This text describes how the gospel has now spread all over the Mediterranean and focuses on the church in Antioch which had many members who were Greek.

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 11:1-18.
