Local Holiday festivities in Harmony Florida in November and December hosted by Jeanine Corcoran broker for The Corcoran Connection and Kristin Macari of Studio Nine 13. This is part of our Discover Harmony Florida podcast series. Welcome to the 3rd episode of Discover Harmony Florida. Being so close to Thanksgiving Jeanine started this podcast off by giving thanks to the people who live in the Harmony community. She talked about the time Kristin's daughter went missing one Sunday morning and how within a 30-minute window people all over the community were searching for her and communicating on Facebook. Kristin's daughter was found quickly and ended up being with her grandfather. Jeanine also mentioned a time when a local man with Alzheimer's went missing and the entire community again came out to help in the search communicating their findings on social media. He was found and okay thanks to this amazing Harmony Community! Currently, in Harmony, there is a food drive for the local food bank, and it is being collected by the students of the Harmony Community Church. This is a local church here in Harmony. They meet on Sundays at 10:00am at the Harmony Community School. They are doing the food drive through November 17th. You can come to the Church to drop the food off or go to HarmonyCommunity.church and put in a message and they will come to pick up the food. Sunday, November 14th is the Harmony Fall Festival from 2 – 5pm at Lakeshore Park. There will be a pumpkin patch, food trucks, a hayride, a bounce house, a DJ, a petting zoo, and more. Friday night, November 19th starting at 6:30pm there will be a movie night in Town Square. The featured movie will be Freebirds. There will be food trucks and remember to bring your chairs as well as bug spray if it is warm. To add to the local holiday festivities on Friday night December 10th from 5:30 – 9:00pm there will be the Harmony Winterfest in the square. There will be Christmas carolers, Santa & Mrs. Claus, food trucks, DJ and games, horse and carriage, snowslide, and more. This will be free to Harmony residents. On December 24th in the Harmony Town Square, there will be a Christmas service put on by Harmony Community Church which starts at 6:00pm. The service will be about 30 minutes and remember to bring your chairs. They read the Christmas story with carolers as well and a short message on what this time of the year is all about. Give Kids The World Village has a mission to provide critically ill children and their families with a magical week-long vacation at no cost. Each sponsor pays for a house in which the children and their families stay for their vacation. The Village itself is like a mini amusement park and everything is free which is awesome!

Rob is a grateful husband, dad and grandfather. He is inspired by the impact of leadership and offers 30 years of insight as a pastor, counselor, non profit vp and community volunteer. He is COO and co-owner of Easy Time Clock Inc and passionate pastor of Harmony Community Church. He is zealous about helping organizations and people develop to be the best they were designed to be.

He also loves painting in oils and playing his Taylor guitar. 2:30 MIN I was raised by a loving single mother. She loved me to death but it was a dysfunctional home. I grew up in poverty. I moved a lot and later joined the military, went to grad school and did seminary work. My early goal in life was to be middle class. That was my goal. 5:30 MIN I did a Bible study that ended up with me starting a church. I stayed in ministry full-time until I was 42 years old. I went through a divorce. I have an amazing story of overcoming. I'm remarried and have grandchildren now. I'm back to part-time ministry so it's really full-circle. 8 MIN I even lived with my science teacher a couple years. They lived the lives I really wanted. Some people live in tough environments and never rise above it. I don't know why but I did. 9 MIN The value system I received from those people who invested in me had a huge influence. Sometimes miracles come by getting a scholarship for being the brightest. I was not that person. But the people around me built in an awareness that I know it works to meet someone who can model something positive, show you you're valuable and worth something. I delight in that if I can help provide hope for someone else. 11 MIN I've had the opportunity to talk about leadership. Entrepreneurs are in a unique setting because without that corporate environment, they're really leading whether they want to or not. Successful entrepreneurs have to figure out how to lead on the fly. 12:40 MIN There's no doubt my success comes from investing in others. There's a real regard for mentorship in our culture. I see men and women who have a great interest in spending time with more experienced people. Chambers are great places to do that. 15 MIN I have philosophies I've had to learn. Anyone can lead. There's been some misinformation about who leaders are. They're not the biggest chest or the deepest voice. Leadership is simply influence. Any time you can influence the world you're leading. Everybody can do that. I've read a lot of John Maxwell. I've taken guys to lunch who I think are successful so I could just listen to them. There are five behaviors that kind of define leadership in "The Leadership Challenge" by Barry Posner and James Kouzes: Model the way. Live by principles, seek to be an example of something good you want to see in other people. Inspire shared vision. Bring your passion about your subject to the table and share that with people. Challenge the process. Look for something that needs to be more excellent and that moves people to empowerment as they see things they can improve. Enable other people to act. Foster collaboration among others. Encourage the heart. Celebrate accomplishments. You don't have to be the biggest, best, brightest person to do these things. 21:30 MIN I was told by a counselor I need to be better at self-efficacy. One of the hardest things for leaders to do is to choose which direction to go. You have to go to your center and dive in. That was an awakening moment for me. We have a lot of choices in life and we don't get a lot done because we won't choose. More Show Notes Join The Exchange
Easter 2021 Message from Harmony Community Church. When Jesus arose, it caused a crisis of belief for the world and His disciples. It does for us too.
As Believers we know that bad things will happen. Sometimes they happen a lot. In other words, there are times when things are not ok. So, how then are we to see that even when things are not ok…they are, in fact, ok? Join us as we begin this journey through Philippians with the reassurance that even when things are […]
Of all of the questions we could possibly ask related to our salvation…this may be the most important. The Question? Can I lose my salvation? Is it possible that either I could walk away from a legitimate conversion or could God get so angry with me that He would simply take it away from me? This is an extremely important […]
God’s grace is amazing…right? So there is no way then that it could ever be considered controversial…right? If only that were the case. Only people could take something as extraordinary as grace and make it controversial. And that is often exactly what we do. What does that look like? How does it work? What exactly does grace contain that could […]
Of course by now I think it is safe to assume that we know we cannot do works to earn our salvation. Yet Paul writes in Ephesians 2:10 that we are created in Christ Jesus “for good works”. So the question becomes: What role does works play in our salvation? How are we supposed to view them, engage with them, […]
If we are saved by grace so that we cannot do anything to earn our salvation, why does Paul seem to say in Romans 10:9-10 that if we confess and believe then we will be saved? Do these verses contradict other grace-only verses? Is confessing and believing really a “work” in the first place? Join us as we continue our […]
As Believers, we use the word grace a lot. And we should. After all, it is by grace that we are saved. But do we really understand the Biblical view of grace? Are we certain that if someone asked us what we mean by “God’s grace”, we would be able to give a complete answer. It is vitally important that […]
This is the question that is as old as humanity. All people will ask this question at some point in their lives. As we finish up this amazing journey through the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon guides us to the answer to the question: What is the meaning of life?
One of the first things we want to know once we come to faith in Christ is: What does God want me to do? It is only natural that we would want to do what pleases Him and be a part of Him accomplishing His will on this planet and in our lives. But what does that look like? And […]
We all understand the construct of getting good, fatherly advice. But what about the advice we can get from our heavenly Father? Is there such a thing? There is indeed. Join us as we delve into advice that only a true Father can give.
As Believers, does God want us to enjoy our life on this planet…or simply endure it until He calls us home with Him? In these fascinating verses we will take a look at how God actually does give us joy in a life that is often filled with pain and difficulties.
I think most of us would not hesitate to pronounce our trust in God. But is that accurate? Do we really trust Him…especially when everything around us is crumbling? Join us as we examine this all important question.
What does it mean to have peace? What does it mean to have true peace? As we continue in the Book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon helps us to understand what true peace is…and how it can only come from God.
We all want wisdom. But what does that look like and how do we get it? In part two of this message we will continue to examine what true Godly wisdom actually is and how we can get it.
We all want wisdom. But what does that look like and how do we get it? In this episode we will take a look at the virtues of Godly wisdom which is juxtaposed with the world’s counterfeit version of wisdom.
We are told over and over again that, as Believers, this world is not our home. We are simply sojourners on this planet. If that is the case, then how do we live in a world that is not our home?
Do you consider yourself a greedy person? Do you think God would consider you a greedy person? Join us as seek out the Biblical definition of greed and the destructive role it plays in our life.
Every interaction we have with God should be considered worship. And why not? He is the only true holy Being in the universe. But how are those interactions supposed to look? What are the elements that need to be in place in order for us to properly worship? Join us as we discover those elements in God’s Word.
As Believers we are told that though we are in the world, we are not to be of the world. But what does that mean? How should we interact with the world? Can the world actually do anything for us? In these verses we see what happened to Solomon when he took his focus off of God and put in […]
Worry and anxiety affect every single human being on the planet. No matter what your circumstance in life, worry and anxiety plagues us all. Jesus warns us of the detrimental effect worry has on all of us in Matthew 6:25-34. But is worry, in and of itself, a sin? Is it wrong? Solomon was one of the most accomplished, wealthy, […]
Is there anything wrong with a Believer wanting success? Is worldly success an antithesis to God’s desire for our lives? Join us as we answer this extremely important question while looking at the world through the prism of God’s Word.
What does the Bible say about the pursuit of wisdom? Should we pursue it? Does it matter if it is worldly wisdom? Solomon was arguably the wisest person who ever lived. But did his pursuit of worldly wisdom lead him away from God? Join us as we attempt to answer that question.
Is pleasure in and of itself a bad thing? Is it inherently wrong? Join us as we take a look at the answer to that question inspired by Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes.
In this message we tackle a question as old as humanity. Is life, ultimately, meaningless? Solomon poses and answers this question in our text today. Join us as we examine Ecclesiastes 1: 1-18 in order to be able to answer this all-important question.
King Solomon was arguably the wealthiest and wisest person who ever walked on this planet. He had everything a person could possibly want and yet finished his life believing it was all for nothing. Join us as we begin this journey through one of the most amazing books in the entire Bible. As relevant now as it was 3,000 years […]
Join us as we wrap up our study on the importance of God’s Word…and getting it right.
Join us as we discuss the danger of proof texting Bible passages. What does this mean? Take a listen to find out how to avoid this dangerous hermeneutical fallacy.
Am I supposed to take every passage in the Bible literally? Does the genre of the passage have anything to do with this question? Join us as we answer these (and other) questions related to Biblical hermeneutics.
When it comes to Biblical hermeneutics…there is one question we must always avoid. The question? “What does this passage mean to me”. We can never be the final arbiter as to the meaning of God’s Word. The correct question is: “What does this passage mean”? Our theology must not dictate our exegesis. Our exegesis must dictate our theology. Join us […]
Can understanding the original speakers, hearers, and writers give us more insight into the true meaning of the Scriptures? Join us this week as we examine that very question and how it impacts good Biblical hermeneutics.

Pastor James Brooks will discuss the important role of prayer and what a powerful gift it is to commune with the Lord. Pastor Brooks serves as the Senior Pastor of Harmony Community Church and the Chief Ministry Officer at Lawndale Christian Health Center. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Northern Theological Seminary where he was the first Dr. John Perkins Scholar graduate. Pastor Brooks is committed to listening and responding to the people who have been hurt and marginalized by society.
