Harvester Christian Church

How we view God shapes how we live. Many see Him as restrictive or punishing, but from Eden to Jesus, God's actions have always been rooted in protection and love. His commands aren't about control—they're about inviting us into abundant life and shielding us from harm.

Fear has a way of paralyzing us, convincing us that our inadequacies disqualify us from God's call. But freedom comes when we realize it's not about our strength—it's about God's power working through our weakness. Our limitations aren't obstacles; they're the very place where God displays His strength.

Prayer is a powerful tool that works through faith and trust in God's perfect nature. While not all prayers are answered as expected, understanding prayer requires recognizing God's broader perspective and wisdom.

The key to meaningful prayer lies in persistent faith and trusting God's perspective over our limited understanding.

God's vision encompasses all nations and extends far beyond American elections. As Christians, God has chosen us to act as his ambassadors, responsible for spreading his kingdom throughout the earth.

When we embrace our limits and set our boundaries, we actually increase our capacity to love Jesus and love like Jesus.

Jesus went away to be with the Father - for no other reason than to be with the Father.  It was important, in fact critical, to his being.  He set boundaries on people, his schedule, and other's expectations.  In Luke 10, Jesus tells us that it's better to be with him over just working for him.  What boundaries do you need to set in order to be with Jesus more for no other reason than to be with him?

While we are limited humans, we follow a limitless God.  It's not our job to be limitless, but rather it's our job to unclutter our life and let the Holy Spirit fill the margin.  By embracing our limits, we acknowledge the work of God in our lives.

Jesus didn't choose inaction. He knew what needed to be done, was obedient, and had a compassionate attitude. He asks the same of us. Jesus rescued us so that we might join him in rescuing others. That's what becoming a great church is about.

If we are going to become servants, we have to become available to God too (Here I am, send me). After all, God works more through the available than the able.
