Can I get a witness? In this message from John 12:27-33, Jesus' words help to inform our perspective of evangelism. If our perspective on evangelism drives our practice with evangelism, we need to begin to understand Jesus' approach to it. In the final week of the "In His Steps" series, Pastor Jeff Maness teaches through the B.L.E.S.S. evangelism strategy, equipping the church to talk about Jesus to anyone at any time.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=BkFJVCzoZgDiscussion Questions: https://storage1.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/PTW12.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!
In our endeavor to practice the way of Jesus, we examine the way He served others and allow His way of life to challenge how we think about service, greatness, identity, and love. We hope you will see that if we want to walk In His Steps, the way up is always down.Message Notes & Resources - https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=rJIgkY7K-gDiscussion Questions - https://storage1.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/PTW9.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!

Explore the often-misunderstood practice of fasting and see how fasting without prayer will never reach its full potential. Essentially, fasting is abstaining from something, typically food, for a certain period of time for physical, mental, and spiritual benefit. Sounds simple, but to get the most benefit, what should I pray when I fast? This sermon reveals how fasting—when paired with prayer—reshapes our hearts through surrender, confession, and alignment with God's will. Whether fasting is new to you or part of your regular rhythm, discover how this ancient practice can help reorder what matters most and lead you toward deeper communication with God.Message Notes & Series Resources: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=rJFj-ANwZeDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/PTW5.pdf40-Day Lenten Devotional and Playlist: https://www.theharbor.life/#lentFind 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!

What does it really mean to follow Jesus—not just believe in Him, but become like Him? In this message from our In His Steps series, we're invited to stop treating Jesus like spiritual “rescue patrol” and start following Him as our guide, placing our feet in His footprints day by day. Through a powerful illustration and the words of 1 Peter 2, this sermon explores how true discipleship transforms us as we deal honestly with sin, defer our lives to God's hands, and learn to depend on Jesus daily. If you've ever wondered how real, lasting change happens in the Christian life, this message will challenge and encourage you to take the next step.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=H1Vwbcz8bgDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/PTW3.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!
What comes out of you when life puts the pressure on? In this message, we're reminded that when we're “squeezed” by stress, temptation, pain, or disappointment, what spills out is whatever we've been soaking in. Jesus tells us in John 15 that real fruit (love, faithfulness, joy, etc) doesn't come from trying harder, but from abiding (soaking) in Him. This message invites you to slow down, refocus, and rediscover the heart of following Jesus: simply being with Him. If you're tired of striving, distracted by hurry, or longing for a deeper, more resilient faith, this message will challenge and encourage you to make your home in Christ.Message Notes with Resource Suggestions: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=HyvNjnLBZeDiscussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/PTW2.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!
The invitation of Jesus is not to become a Christian, but to become a disciple, to walk in His steps: learning to be with Him, become like Him, and do what He did. This message, the first in the series called In His Steps: Practicing the Way of Jesus, challenges the idea of casual faith and calls us into true discipleship—learning to walk in the way of Jesus. Following Christ means more than knowing about Him; it means surrendering our own way, taking up our cross daily, and allowing our lives to be shaped by His truth and His practices. Watch to see what the call to follow Jesus requires.Message Notes: https://notes.subsplash.com/fill-in/view?page=H1WeYgySZxSmall Group Discussion Questions: https://storage2.snappages.site/PJBKS3/assets/files/111PTW1.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!

Well, as the years go by, we get more and more perspective on the presidency of Ronald Reagan. For example, people who were in his administration began writing books like crazy, telling everything they knew. And people, you know, have started to feel free to tell us what they saw, what they heard, especially behind the scenes. It's kind of interesting to learn about the late President's style of leadership. One of his close associates told us about some of the major decisions that President Reagan had to make and how he approached them. He said, "When the decision was particularly tough, President Reagan would ask a key question." Now, don't laugh; this is serious. "What would John Wayne do?" That's right. Oh, now, we can laugh and say, "Oh, come on! What would John Wayne do?" Well, whether or not you agree with all of President Reagan's decisions, I think we have to agree he made some good ones along the way that helped part of our economy, and helped resolve some very difficult international conflicts, and changed the world. Now, I don't know how much the John Wayne question contributed to the process, but President Reagan was on the track of the right kind of question anyway. Not just for his decisions, but for the ones that you're facing right now. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Question That Settles the Questions." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from 1 Peter 2:21, "To this you were called..." Wow! Okay, I guess here's your destiny. This is an important verse. "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps." Actually that word example in the original Greek in the New Testament? It's the word for the copy head that was on the top of a child's slate when he was learning to do the alphabet. So, like you make an A like the A you see at the top on the copy head. You make your B like the B at the top, and it will come out just right. Well, this passage was written to some slaves with harsh masters. Now how should they respond? This is an unfair, painful situation they were in. Basically, Peter says, "Do what Jesus would do; copy Him. He gave you an example, now follow in His steps," which suggests the question that settles so many of life's questions. Not what would John Wayne do, with all respects to Ronald Reagan, but "What would Jesus do?" Charles Sheldon wrote one of the great classics of Christian fiction years ago called In His Steps and it was based on this verse. It was about a community that was transformed because the people in one church made their bottom line that question, "What would Jesus do?" And the publisher of the newspaper said, "OK, what would Jesus do in a newspaper?" And a wealthy lady said, "Well, what would Jesus do about the poor in this town?" And the pastor said, "What would Jesus preach about?" And an ambitious musician said, "What would Jesus do?" And it changed everything. It literally is your destiny to live by that simple question, "What would Jesus do?" Put Jesus into the choices you're facing now. What would Jesus do in that business transaction you're in the middle of? How would He respond to that difficult person? How would He respond to that stressful situation? What would Jesus do if He knew about the wrong thing that's going on; the one that you know about? What would He do about that need that you could do something about? What would He do about the poor people in your community? What would He do about the lost people you know? What would Jesus do? Start to pray that way. I think a lot of the fog in your decisions will start to clear. It will greatly simplify what could otherwise be a confusing decision. And then risk it! Have the courage to do what Jesus would do. What would John Wayne do? Well, that's a little shaky basis for a decision. But what would Jesus do? If that's your bottom line all day every day, you won't go wrong.
