The Harbor

Ever say, “I just need to get something off my chest”? Everyone has said words to that effect at some point. But let's be honest, sometimes we're not looking to confess or be vulnerable… we just want to complain. This message challenges us to recognize the difference between healthy venting and the sneaky sin of grumbling that can damage our hearts, relationships, and even our faith. With a powerful look at the Israelites in Deuteronomy and practical tools for overcoming a complaining spirit, this sermon by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers invites us to trade our grumbling for grace and our whining for worship.

We say we want deep relationships but often settle for surface-level convenience. In this heartfelt and vulnerable message by Director of Student Ministry Justin Ruszkiewicz, we confront the lie that we can do life alone. Through the story of personal loss, biblical truth, and honest reflection, this sermon unpacks how Christ calls us to be "A Community of Overcomers". Discover how healing, growth, and real connection only happen when we move past fear, pride, and the urge to isolate and step into the messy beauty of true, gospel-centered relationships.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=BJ3e5hx7xx5-Day Devotional: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/tag/lies-a-community-of-overcomersDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/TLWL3-SGQ.pdf_______________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

“I don't care what people think.” It sounds bold, even freeing—but is it true? In Part 2 of The Lies We Love, Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers exposes this common phrase for what it really is: a mask for our deep desire to be liked, accepted, and approved. This message dives into how people-pleasing can trap us, distort our purpose, and become a subtle form of idolatry. Discover the freedom that comes not from chasing the approval of others, but in living from the approval of God that we already have.

“I'm fine.” How often do we say it when the truth is—we're anything but? In this powerful kickoff to The Lies We Love series, Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers unpacks the subtle, soul-draining lie we tell ourselves and others when we're really overwhelmed, burned out, or just trying to hold it all together. Through the lives of Moses, Mary, and Martha, we're reminded that God never called us to carry everything alone. If you're tired, overextended, or just barely holding on, this message offers real hope, deep encouragement, and practical steps to move from burnout to rest, and from pretending to peace.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=r1wcDjzflx5-Day Devotional: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/tag/the-lies-we-love-im-fineDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/TLWL1-SGQ.docxFind us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

Do you know what the three most heard words in the English language are? Not the three most spoken words but rather the three most heard words. In this stand-alone message, Executive Pastor Dana Aaronson tells us that he thinks they are, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.” We might admit that we often reach a point of saturation when people are trying to communicate to us. There's this auto response sometimes due to familiarity or unrelatability that triggers an “ear filter” that turns everything we hear into "BLAH BLAH BLAH." But today we are talking about three different words, words you might have heard before in other sermons. But if we can hear them fresh and speak them to ourselves often they could be difference makers in our lives! These three words are CONFESS, FORGIVE, and CELEBRATE. Watch and see what a difference they could make in your life!To access the resources Dana mentions click here:LIST OF SINS OF COMMISSION AND OMISSION   STEPS IN FORGIVENESS Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=S120y91zge5-Day Devotional: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/tag/blah-blah-blahDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/Blah-Blah-Blah-SGQ.pdfFind us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

Sometimes it feels like the end of the world and Jesus' return may never come, and sometimes it feels like it could be today or tomorrow – and if the Lord does return tomorrow, praise God – Come, Lord Jesus! But either way, because He will return, the way we live because of it should change today. So how should we live while we wait for Christ's return?

Jesus told us to be always ready for His return. In the last message, "It's The End of the World as We Know It", we saw how Jesus said, “I've told you everything ahead of time.” Everything we need to know, He has told us to prepare us. So – it's not our responsibility to know all the details about the end and His return, but it is our responsibility to be ready for it.

If you have kids or you've ever been a kid, you know what it's like during a long car ride, the constant questions, "Are we there yet?" "How much longer?" "Why is it taking so long?" That's pretty much the same question followers of Jesus have been asking since He rose from the dead and promised that He would one day return to make every wrong right, and to rule and reign on a new and perfected Heaven on Earth for all eternity. For generations, humanity has wrestled with the questions: Is this the end? And what will happen at the end? When is Jesus coming back?

In our series Battle Ready, we've talked about each part of the armor of God. We learned we have to put on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes — we must put on peace, which comes from the Good News. We take up the shield of faith by which we quench the fiery arrows of the enemy. Lastly, we put on salvation as a helmet. When we are fully dressed in our defensive armor we take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. But is it the last piece we need for battle?

Have you ever thought about how many safety precautions we take so that we are prepared to deal with dangers that may never happen? For example, we have airbags, seatbelts, smoke detectors, security systems, emergency contacts, and insurance policies that we will hopefully never need. We have them because we know it's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. But how much time and energy do we put into preparing ourselves for spiritual dangers that are 100% guaranteed to happen? It's not, “They might happen, so I should think about being ready.” They are going to happen and might be happening right now. So the question is — are you ready? This message by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers will help you get ready.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=r1mw7aSpkg5-Day Devotional: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/tag/battle-ready-shield-of-peaceDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/Battle-Ready-4.pdf________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

Peace is something everyone wants, but true peace is not something we can earn. It's not something you can attain after many years of hard work. True peace isn't found in a peace treaty between nations. It's not found when you get the house you always wanted, or you have the money you need to retire, or your kids are perfect. Those things might bring a measure of happiness or a temporary feeling of relief, but they are not a true picture of peace. It's not the type of peace that has eternal value. Instead, genuine, lasting, joy-filled peace only starts when we have peace with God.

Whether we're aware of it or not, we are creating an environment for ourselves in the way we live our lives. And the kind of environment we create for ourselves, for our marriages, for families, and for our relationship with Jesus, matter because we are at war. In this message, Director of Student Ministry Justin Ruszkiewicz highlights the profound impact of living with integrity and aligning our choices with God's Word, urging us to assess, obey, and endure in the face of challenges.

Life isn't just a series of occasional struggles—it's a constant battlefield—and the stakes could not be higher.

The concept of dating only began in the early 1900s. But as author Jonathan Pokluda said in his book, Outdated: “Just because modern dating wasn't really around when the Bible was written doesn't mean the Bible doesn't have anything relevant to say about the subject.” And if you are not in that part of life where you are interested in dating, this message can still apply to you if you are:A parent raising kids who will experience dating.A friend or family of a single person that may need wise counsel, accountability, and prayer to navigate dating.A single person pursuing God's gift of marriage who will likely experience dating.So, this message may apply to all of us in some way.

Genesis 1:28a says, "Then God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply.'" Now God could have thought up a million different ways to procreate—but He blessed us with the gift of sex, a gift designed not only to reproduce, but to bring pleasure. And these are pretty much the only two things we ever think about when it comes to sex, making babies and feeling good. But there is a far greater purpose to sex than just those two things. God did not create sex just for pleasure and procreation; He created it for another specific purpose.

Movies, TV shows, and books on romance all seem to teach that "chemistry" is one of the key factors that lead toward success in a relationship. It's how you know you've found “the one", right? Chemistry is a powerful thing. It can make a relationship feel right—and when a relationship feels right—we often believe it is right. And it might be—but chemistry is not the litmus test to determine that. If God calls you to the incredibly difficult gift of marriage—passion and chemistry are great things to have. But it's not enough. The reality is—chemistry might help spark a relationship—but it will never be powerful enough to sustain it. Chemistry—without commitment—will only lead to confusion and conflict. Cultivating oneness has nothing to do with chemistry, and everything to do with commitment. Watch this message by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness to find out what commitments help cultivate oneness in marriage.*NEW* 5-Day Devotional: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/2025/02/10/the-commitment-to-onenessMessage Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=Syx_MnZKkxDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/Exposed-5.pdf_____________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

The teaching of Jesus on marriage in Matthew 19 was so clear, so controversial, and so countercultural—His standard for marriage was so high—that even His own disciples, upon hearing Jesus' teaching and expectations on marriage responded, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry!” (Matthew 19:10) In this message, we address one of the most sensitive subjects in the Church—marriage, divorce, and remarriage. But Jesus wasn't focused on the problem of divorce—He was focused on the power that's available in marriage. A perfect marriage will never exist—but praise God, one full of power does.Blog Post: https://www.theharbor.life/blog/2025/02/02/the-power-of-marriage-more-than-we-imaginedMessage Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=ryAhPhYd1eDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/Exposed-4.pdf_____________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

The primary purpose of marriage—according to God through the Apostle Paul—is not to solve our loneliness. It's not to fulfill some romantic need or desire. It's not to complete me, and it's not to “find the one". None of those things are bad. Marriage can provide companionship. There is and can definitely be romance and sexual fulfillment. But while those things might be by-products of a good and healthy marriage, they all fall woefully short of fulfilling the purpose of marriage. The practice of marriage without pursuing the purpose of marriage will always feel incomplete.

Most of us grew up being taught that somewhere out there in the world is one person—we actually call them “the one”—just waiting for me to find them, to “be mine,” love me, kiss me, and be my soul mate.

Trust. It's such a simple word yet carries profound weight. Who do you trust completely? Maybe you struggle to answer that question, especially if life has taught you that trust can be broken by those closest to you—friends, family, colleagues, or even yourself. But what about God? If He asked, “Do you trust me?” how would you respond?The truth is, trust in God can feel challenging, even for those of us who already believe. We may trust Him with our eternal souls yet hesitate to trust Him with our earthly circumstances. If you've ever felt this tension, know you're not alone.

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Jeff Maness walks us through the Christmas story from an angle you may have never seen before. This is the story of a covenant God made with Abraham about 2,000 years before the arrival of Jesus—and it is connected to our Christmas story still today.

The message of Good News the angels brought the shepherds was that a new King had arrived—and who had He arrived for? Luke 2:10 says it is for ALL people! It's a message, screaming from the manger, that Christ came into the world not to be served, but to serve others—all others. This message of Good News had no limits. It was a message of service to everyone. Christ came to serve you and to serve me.

At Christmas we celebrate that our omnipresent God entered into space and time as a baby. The Creator – who spoke the world into existence with the breath of His mouth – becomes part of His own creation. The all-powerful, sovereign, and in-control God becomes a helpless child with no control or ability at all, completely dependent on beings He created. Talk about submission! The message of the manger is a message of submission. But Christlike submission is not a sign of weakness; it is a show of strength. Christlike submission is a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden, all of which takes great strength. Watch/listen to this message as Pastor Jeff Maness answers the question, "What kind of submission did Jesus display?"Pastor Jeff's Message Notes are here: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=ByNtsdq4yeSmall Group Discussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/MFTM-2.pdf________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

This Message From The Manger is a message of sovereignty. Sovereignty means supreme power or authority. In theological terms, it refers to God's absolute authority and control over all creation. God is never out of control, lacking control, or needing to take control. At all times – and through all things – God has ultimate power and authority over everything that happens. God is in control! Watch this message to see what this really means and how it can cause hurt and doubt in some while bolstering great faith in others.Click here for Pastor Jeff's Message Notes.Click here for the Small Group Discussion Questions.________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

In the series Reframing Rest, we've learned that the Sabbath is a rhythm, rooted in creation. A reminder of how God rescued us from our slavery to sin, and a gift that God gives us every single week to enjoy for our good.We learned that we stop on the Sabbath to reveal our trust in God, refuel us for the work of God, and refocus us on what we have in God. That He is enough, and I don't have to spin my life in circles for God to keep the world spinning and in control. And we learned that on the Sabbath, we should do whatever is restful and restorative, whatever causes us delight, and whatever leads us to worship God.We've provided for you a list of some best practices, and even had a panel of people from The Harbor - in different stages of life - sharing how they are seeking to practice the Sabbath in their own life.Now we end our series by trying to answer the question, "What does Jesus think about the Sabbath?"

Sabbath is not an obligation—it is an invitation. An opportunity to receive a gift from God every single week. Yes, it is in the law of God as the fourth of the Ten Commandments, but Sabbath is not just law—it is life. It is a blessing, not a burden. So how do we do this Sabbath practice? There is no formula to make the Sabbath work for you, but there is a framework that leads to success.

While there is an abundance of historical, psychological, physical, and even scientific and medical evidence of the benefits of taking one day off each week to completely rest, the vast majority of people—especially in our modern Western world—fight against this rhythm that God rooted into creation.We're like three-year-olds fighting a nap—knowing we're exhausted but refusing to accept God's pathway to rest. Maybe one of the biggest reasons we fight against it—especially as followers of Jesus—is that we don't truly understand the "why" behind Sabbath rest. And that's what we will reframe in this message, week two of our series, Reframing Rest.Click here for Jeff's Message Notes.Click here for Small Group Discussion Questions.________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

60% of U.S. adults say they feel more tired now than they've ever been. --- OnePoll Research Firm58% of people said that feeling tired keeps them from enjoying life, and 33% of people "always" or "often" still feel tired even after a good night's sleep. --- Talker Research FirmWhy is this happening? Why do we wear busyness as a badge of honor - yet constantly talk about how much we need a break - and how tired we are – even though it's keeping us from enjoying life? And when we do get a break - a vacation, an extended weekend, or just a good night's sleep – we're not receiving the rest we truly need to be filled back up. We're not living in the rhythm of rest that God intended.Could it be that we need to reframe rest? That maybe there is a rest God wants us to have and to live in that we are missing out on in our busy, hurried, fast-paced, and tired lives? In this message, Pastor Jeff Maness explains that the Sabbath is more than a specific day you must observe, it is a way of life you get to practice, a gift from God.Click here for Jeff's Message Notes.Click here for Small Group Discussion Questions.________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

Bold Faith - Healthy followers of Jesus boldly live out their faith with passion and conviction, marked by grace and truth.We have read stories in the Bible about the early Christians living out their faith in Christ, even when they were threatened with death if they didn't stop talking about Jesus. We've seen video about modern day Christians in other areas of the world who are beaten and killed for their faith. But it's one thing to see others have bold faith, it is quite another to live it out yourself.

Core Value #2 - Come As You Are: God wants every person to come as they are to Him and His Church, where they can find forgiveness, eternal life, and life to the full through Jesus.God wants us to come as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way. Just because God receives us as we are does not mean there isn't a standard that He calls us to live out. "Come As You Are" is not an excuse to stay who have been. It's also not an excuse to reject people who are not living up to it, because God loves everyone unconditionally, as should we. Watch to see how if we believe in the right things but respond to people in the wrong way, then what we believe won't matter.Jeff's Message Notes are here.Small Group Discussion Questions are here.To see the full list of The Harbor's Core Values, please click here.________________________________________________________________________Subscribe so you don't miss a thing!Christian Copyright Solutions (CCS, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC)License: #14753Find us on:YouTube: YouTube.com/TheHarborInstagram: Instagram.com/TheHarbor_lifeFacebook: Facebook.com/TheHarbordotlifeWebsite: https://www.TheHarbor.lifeWatch/listen on The Harbor AppNew episode every week!

Core Value #1 - Prayer is Our Priority: The work of the Church is first and foremost prayer, by which all other work is led, empowered, and supported.There is no such thing as a healthy, thriving, Christ following, God honoring church, if that church is not focused on and driven by prayer. This is why prayer is our first Core Value at The Harbor. Why is prayer so important?

People may not say it to us, but they are evaluating whether our faith is genuine by watching how we live our lives. The only way they can truly tell if our faith is real is not by our words, because words can be empty, but by our actions. If we truly believe that what we say we believe is really real, then our lives will reflect it. So the question is, are we living a life that is worthy of the Gospel?Ryan's Message Notes are here.Small Group Discussion Questions are here.As a resource to print out, we'd like to offer "10 Signs of a Politically Undivided Heart."

In God's Word, we are commanded to pray for all people, no matter if we like them, or disagree with them, or what. All people, especially those in authority over us: our local police, the mayor, the governor, and the President of the United States, whether you voted for them or not. The command does not change depending on who is leading. That might be distasteful or difficult, but we must do it. So how do we pray and what do we pray for all of those in authority over us?

In part 2 of the message entitled The Prayer of Jesus, Senior Pastor Jeff Maness tells us about "The #1 Prayer of Jesus". In part 1, we learned that hours before His excruciating death on the cross, at a time when every word counted, Jesus prayed for the protection, purity (holiness), and purpose of those who were following Him and anyone who would ever follow Him. But more important than those things, what do you think the most important prayer that Jesus prayed for His people is?

In the last message we learned that "God is Everything". Everything that God has done and is doing today and all that He will do in the future is because of His great love. So what is our response to His love? Devotion. We are to be devoted to not only to following Christ, but to abiding in Him. What exactly does this mean? How do we "abide" in Jesus?
