Have you ever wondered where demons actually come from, or what Jesus really meant when He mentioned the "gates of hell"? In this eye-opening message, Elliott Warren dives deep into Genesis 6 to answer the questions most churches never talk about. We often read past the strangest parts of the Bible, but those details hold the key to understanding the spiritual warfare around us. In this sermon, we explore the origins of the Nephilim (giants) and how the "sons of God," or watcher angels, abandoned their heavenly posts to descend upon Mount Hermon. By examining biblical history and the Book of Enoch, we uncover how these hybrid beings corrupted the earth and why their spirits are linked to demonic activity today. More importantly, this message reveals the incredible victory of Christ. Discover why Jesus specifically chose the base of Mount Hermon—known historically as the terrestrial headquarters of evil—to declare that "the gates of hell shall not prevail." You will learn how the Mount of Transfiguration was a literal declaration of war against dark forces, proving that Jesus came to reverse the curse and reclaim dominion over the earth. 00:00:00 Introduction & The Move of God 00:01:20 A Special Father's Day Message 00:03:30 Opening the Mystery: Angels, Aliens & Nephilim 00:19:16 Genesis 6: The Sons of God and Daughters of Men 00:23:40 Who Were the Watchers?

In Part 2 of our Colossians series, UnRivaled, we dive deeper into Paul's prayer for the believers in Colossae and discover God's desire for every follower of Jesus to experience spiritual extravagance—not settling for spiritual survival, but thriving in the fullness of Christ. Through Colossians 1:9-20, we explore what it means to be filled with the knowledge of God's will, strengthened by His power, fruitful in every good work, and confident in our identity as those redeemed, forgiven, and qualified by grace. In a culture that pressured believers to compromise and blend their faith with competing spiritual influences, Paul reminds the church to never compromise who they are in Christ. The message culminates in one of the most powerful descriptions of Jesus in all of Scripture: He is the image of the invisible God, Creator of all things, Head of the Church, and the One who holds unrivaled priority over everything. This episode challenges us to ask a crucial question: Does Jesus truly have unrivaled priority in our lives, or is there a gap between what we believe and how we live? ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

We talk with Dr John Demartini about using better questions to balance perception, dissolve emotional polarisation, and practise mindfulness as full awareness rather than escape. We connect values, fair exchange, and purposeful action to practical outcomes like less burnout, fewer intrusive thoughts, and more intrinsic motivation. Visit his website: https://drdemartini.com/• the DeMartini Method as a structured set of cognitive questions to reveal hidden information • highest values as the source of intrinsic drive and consistent follow through • the cost of living by “shoulds” and internalised authority • service plus reward as sustainable fair exchange in work and relationships • seven daily questions to build momentum and reduce fantasy expectations • mindfulness defined as seeing both sides at once and ending seeking and avoiding loops • a meditation process for turning judgments into self awareness and gratitude • objective indicators that reveal values through space, time, energy, money, and order • burnout and shame as signals of misalignment and one sided expectations Please check out drdemartini.com. The links in the show notes will post a link to the values exercise and check out his books too.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

In this powerful message from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, Pastor B. discovers that God is after more than outward obedience, He desires a transformed heart. Jesus challenges His followers to pursue a righteousness that goes beyond religious rule-keeping and reaches the deepest parts of our lives.Through His teaching on anger, reconciliation, lust, purity, and forgiveness, Jesus reveals that sin begins in the heart long before it appears in our actions. He calls us to examine our motives, deal honestly with resentment, remove sources of temptation, and seek peace with others.This sermon explores what it means to become more like our Heavenly Father through the transforming power of grace. True holiness is not about perfection through human effort, but about a lifelong journey of spiritual maturity and heart transformation.

Your phone is not just a gadget. It is a gateway into an economy built to capture attention, shape behavior, and keep you coming back. We bring on Jay Vidyarthi, mindfulness teacher, UX designer, technologist, and founder of Still Ape, to talk about the real world collision between contemplative practice and the modern attention economy. We start with a short, grounding practice of “doing nothing,” then zoom out to the strange fact that even this conversation is carried by microphones, data packets, and screens.Jay shares what it feels like to grow up loving video games and early internet creativity while also longing for silence, retreats, and depth. That tension shows up everywhere: tech culture can dismiss meditation, and mindfulness culture can quietly shame technology. We name the cost of that split, especially the guilt, shame, and fear that can creep into how we talk about screen time, social media, and even our kids' digital lives. Jay offers a more honest frame: you do not have to abandon technology to be mindful, but you do need a healthier relationship with your attention.From there, we dig into the incentives behind the systems, including how AI may be pushing us from an attention economy into an “attachment economy,” where people form bonds with bots and start confiding in them. Jay argues that mindfulness is becoming subversive, not because it is trendy, but because choosing where to place attention runs against powerful forces. He calls the response “attention activism,” a middle way that avoids both naive techno-optimism and tech doom, and invites teachers, designers, and everyday users to show up online with wisdom.If you care about mindfulness, digital wellness, humane technology, or building tech that supports human flourishing, this conversation will give you language and direction.

Is there something you know God is calling you to do — but you just haven't done it yet? A conversation you've been avoiding. A step you've been putting off. A river you can see but won't cross.In this message from our Uncharted: A Study in Joshua series, we look at two people in Joshua 2 and 3 who faced that exact moment — and what happened when they finally stepped in.Rahab had no safety net. The priests had no guarantee. But both of them stepped out in faith — and neither of them regretted it.The miracle doesn't come before the step. It comes after.Whatever your Jordan River is — this message is for you.
With UFO sightings making daily headlines, are aliens real, or is there a darker, biblical truth behind these extraterrestrial encounters? Discover what the Days of Noah, fallen angels, and the Nephilim reveal about our future. In this eye-opening message, Pastor Elliott Warren dives into the strange and bizarre events found in 2 Peter and Jude to uncover the scriptural truth about angels, demons, and government UFO reports. By examining the historical sins of fallen angels and their imprisonment in Tartarus, this sermon connects ancient history to modern-day phenomena. If you've ever wondered how extraterrestrial life fits into a Christian worldview, this message provides a clear biblical lens to process the unexplained. We also explore the dangers of the modern "hyper-grace" message, how false teachers operate within the church today, and why Jesus descended to declare victory over the spirits in prison. 00:00:00 - Welcome & Opening Thoughts 00:03:47 - Why Are UFOs and Aliens in the News So Much? 00:10:25 - A Biblical Perspective on Extraterrestrials 00:14:22 - Days of Noah: Does the Past Foreshadow the Future? 00:15:51 - Unpacking the Sexual Sins of Angels & The Nephilim 00:24:28 - 2 Peter 2: False Prophets & Sensuality in the Church 00:42:00 - Tartarus: The Underworld Prison for Fallen Angels 00:46:00 - Why Jesus Preached to the Spirits in Prison 00:52:36 - The Book of Jude & The Deception of Hyper-Grace #Sermon #Church #Faith #Jesus #Aliens #UFOs #Nephilim #FallenAngels #DaysOfNoah #BibleStudy #Christianity #EndTimes #Tartarus #ElliottWarren #falseteachers If this message helped you see the Bible in a new light, please subscribe to our channel, like this video, and share it with a friend who is asking these same questions!

In Part 1 of our Colossians series, we explore the central message of Paul's letter: the absolute supremacy and total sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Written from a Roman prison to a church Paul had never personally visited, Colossians was sent to strengthen believers living in a culture saturated with idols, competing philosophies, and spiritual deception. We unpack the historical context of Colossae and Ephesus, where the gospel spread powerfully throughout Asia Minor and directly challenged the worship of the goddess Diana, disrupting both culture and commerce. Through Paul's opening words, we discover that spiritual growth happens when grace and truth work together. Truth confronts what is out of order in our lives, while grace gives us the time, patience, and power to grow into all God has called us to be. This episode lays the foundation for understanding why Christ alone is enough and why proclaiming His supremacy remains as countercultural today as it was in the first century. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

Are you living as the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this powerful message from Matthew 5, Pastor B. explores Jesus' call for every believer to influence the world by reflecting His character, love, and truth.Jesus doesn't say that Christians should become salt and light, He declares that We already are. Through the transforming power of the Gospel, believers receive a new identity, a new purpose, and a new mission: to bring glory to God through their everyday lives.In this message, you'll discover:• What it means to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world• How the Gospel transforms our identity and purpose• Why Christians are called to influence culture rather than retreat from it• How believers can preserve truth, heal brokenness, and point others to Christ• The importance of shining brightly in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities• How our good works can lead others to glorify our Heavenly FatherJust as salt preserves and enhances, Christians are called to slow spiritual decay and create a thirst for God. Just as light dispels darkness, believers are called to illuminate the world with the hope and truth of Jesus Christ.Whether you're serving in your family, workplace, church, or community, God has strategically placed you where you are to make an eternal impact. Your life can be a reflection of His glory and a testimony of His grace.

How do we move from simply "surviving" the mess of life to actually "occupying" our God-given purpose? In this powerful conclusion to our 4-week series, Pastor Tom explores Days 5 and 6 of Creation (Genesis 1:20-31), where God transitions from building the infrastructure of the universe to populating it with life. We discover that order is not the end goal—fruitfulness is. In this message: A Legacy Tribute: We celebrate the incredible 92-year life of Jim Welker.

Skincare, makeup, and beauty treatments. When did they first pop up on our spending radar and why? This week’s Deep Dive gets a little… deep. Bec and Jess discuss the cost of beauty standards: who sets them, sustains them, and how we might look at the whole topic with a raised (and sometimes fluffed) eyebrow. Because, whether you overtly subscribe to them or not, beauty standards don’t just affect folks who love a trend, they have the tendency to impact our spending habits and perceptions of value, and even our self worth. And it’s not just women either, just consider the whole looksmaxxing thing. Between the double standards, unrealistic expectations, and self-expression of it all, how have our perceptions around beauty shifted and what are we really buying into? From body hair to full-coverage foundation and the rituals of getting ready, tune in if you’ve ever wondered what we really think about the price of pretty, how we’re feeling about ‘preventative’ measures, and which standards we’re willing to bin at our next earliest convenience. Should we share what our community actually spends on beauty products? Let us know in the comments.

The Armor of God was never meant to make life comfortable, it was meant to make believers stand firm when the fight gets real. This message unpacks why the battle is spiritual, why truth and righteousness are essential, and how “selective hearing” can quietly create spiritual blindness. If compromise has started to feel normal, this is a call to drop the pursuit of perfection and live surrendered to God's direction.

In Part 12 of our series through 2 Thessalonians, we see Paul bring together both spiritual revelation and practical application. He reminds the church that God not only comforts and strengthens our hearts, but also establishes us to live out our faith in everyday life—through both our words and our works. This message calls us to be people of prayer, grounded in God's love, faithful in obedience, and willing to follow through on what God has spoken, trusting that He is both guarding us and directing our hearts toward His purposes. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

What does it really mean to be happy? In a world that equates happiness with success, wealth, popularity, and comfort, Jesus offers a completely different perspective.In this message, Pastor B. explores the Beatitudes from Matthew 5 and discovers how Jesus redefines what it means to be truly blessed. The Beatitudes are not a list of rules to follow but a description of the heart of those who belong to God's kingdom. Jesus begins His most famous sermon with blessings, revealing the qualities that mark genuine followers of Christ.We will examine the progression of spiritual transformation that begins with recognizing our spiritual poverty, mourning over sin, and developing meekness and dependence on God. As believers hunger and thirst for righteousness, their lives begin to reflect the character of Christ through mercy, purity of heart, and peacemaking.This message also addresses the challenges of living as citizens of God's kingdom. Following Jesus often creates tension with the world around us, and persecution for righteousness is a reality for those who faithfully live out the Gospel. Yet Jesus promises that those who endure are truly blessed.If you are searching for lasting joy, purpose, and fulfillment, this teaching will encourage you to look beyond temporary happiness and discover the abundant life found only in surrendering to Jesus Christ.

Most families don't need more pressure, more control, or “more power,” they need a stronger foundation. In this message from the Family Matters series, Pastor Jimmy shares a hopeful reminder: good intentions cannot sustain what only God can build.

Most of us think the ultimate goal of the Christian faith is just "going to heaven" when we die, but what if there's something much greater? Discover the surprising, biblical truth about your eternal future and what actually happens when Jesus returns. In this powerful message, Elliott Warren dives deep into Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 15 to uncover the "Great Christian Hope". If you've ever felt like this world is broken or you're groaning for something more, it's because you were meant for a glorious transformation. We aren't just meant to exist as spirits without bodies—or "ghosts" in the afterlife. Instead, we are promised a physical resurrection where we will be fully adopted as "sons of God". Learn why all of creation is waiting for this exact moment and how understanding this biblical reality can completely change how you view your present struggles. Stop looking forward to just an intermediate state in heaven, and start putting your hope in the day your mortal body is redeemed and fully transformed into the image of Christ! 00:00:00 - Introduction: Pentecost Sunday & The Return of Jesus 00:04:48 - The Great Christian Hope in Romans 8 & 1 Corinthians 15 00:11:26 - The Shocking Truth: We Are Not Fully "Sons of God" Yet 00:14:46 - Why All of Creation is Groaning and Waiting 00:18:29 - The Holy Spirit as the "First Fruits" and Our Guarantee 00:27:37 - The Heavenly Dwelling: Why We Don't Want to Be "Ghosts" 00:34:28 - Awaiting Our Full Adoption and Body Redemption 00:36:16 - Jesus' Teaching on the Resurrection in Luke 20 00:43:21 - Predestined to Bear the Image of Christ 00:48:46 - Finding Real Hope for Your Present Struggles #ChristianHope #EndTimes #Heaven #Resurrection #Romans8 #ElliottWarren #SonsOfGod #BibleStudy #ChristianFaith #JesusReturns #OvercomingHardships #SpiritualGrowth #Sermon #crossculturechurch If this message gave you a new perspective on your future, please SUBSCRIBE to our channel and SHARE this video with someone who needs unshakeable hope today!

When the drought was severe and the nation had turned away from God, the Lord raised up the prophet Elijah to remind His people that true hope and strength come from Him alone. In this powerful message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Jason explores how God works through weary people, strengthens those who obey Him, and sends breakthrough after seasons of waiting.Elijah stood before King Ahab during one of Israel's darkest spiritual moments and declared that rain was coming, even before he could see a cloud in the sky. After praying persistently and trusting God completely, a small cloud appeared, and soon the heavens opened with a mighty rain. This story reminds us that God's promises often begin with small signs of hope and that His power shows up when our own strength runs out.In this message, discover:Why God sometimes allows spiritual “droughts”The meaning behind Elijah's name: “Yahweh is my God”How God empowers exhausted and discouraged peopleWhy obedience often comes before breakthroughThe biblical significance of the number sevenWhat it means to walk and run WITH God instead of trying to run FOR HimHow God's hand still strengthens believers todayIf you've been tired, discouraged, or tempted to quit, this message will encourage you to trust God in the waiting season. The same God who strengthened Elijah still gives supernatural strength, endurance, and hope to His people today.

It's Memorial Day weekend, and while many of us are using the three-day break as an absolute escape hatch from our hectic schedules, a vacation won't fix a lack of structure. Today is also Pentecost Sunday, and in Part 2 of our Crushing Chaos series, Pastor Tom drops a truth bomb that will completely reframe your week: "The answer to chaos isn't peace... it's order. And Godly order requires PARTITION." In this message, "The Power of Partition," we look at how the Holy Spirit fell like fire not just to give the disciples goosebumps, but to draw a line in the sand—separating them from the chaos of the world for a global destiny.

Send us Fan MailThere is a fake version of masculinity being sold to men right now.It is loud. Flashy. Ripped. Rich. Angry. Seductive. It calls itself alpha, but a lot of it is just insecurity wearing a costume.In this episode, Rory goes after counterfeit masculinity and exposes the scammers selling warrior costumes to boys who do not want to pay the price of becoming real men.Real masculinity is not body count, bank accounts, online bravado, dominance games, or peacocking for attention.Real masculinity is strength submitted to God.A real man fears God, carries responsibility, controls his appetites, protects women instead of preying on them, loves sacrificially, builds brotherhood, repents fast, and serves before he leads.In this episode, we break down:The difference between real masculinity and counterfeit masculinityWhy the manosphere attracts insecure men looking for shortcutsThe “Threat Index” of fake masculine personasWhy strength without surrender becomes dangerousHow biblical masculinity carries both strength and loveWhat it means to stop looking like a man and start becoming oneScripture of the Day1 Corinthians 16:13–14 ESV“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”Dangerous FocusAsk yourself:What fake version of masculinity am I most tempted to follow?Name it. Expose it. Kill it.Then take one real masculine action this week: serve, repent, confess, train, lead, apologize, call a brother, or carry what you have been avoiding.Destroy your weakness. Build the man.

Jesus never intended for believers to live powerless, fearful, or spiritually passive. In this message, we explore the supernatural signs Jesus said would follow Spirit-filled believers, including authority over the enemy, speaking in tongues, divine protection, healing power, and the work of the Holy Spirit through our lives. You'll discover what it truly means to live Spirit-filled and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to impact the world around them. If you've ever wondered whether the power of the Book of Acts is still available today, this teaching will challenge and strengthen your faith.#HolySpirit #SpiritFilled #FWCColumbia- - -Want to accept Jesus and have Him change your life?

In Part 10 of our series through 2 Thessalonians, we see how God's grace strengthens believers to grow in faith, abound in love, and endure through pressure and persecution. Paul reminds the church that spiritual growth is never isolated—it blesses and impacts others—and that our trials are not meaningless in the hands of God. This message calls us to remain steadfast, keep our eyes on eternity, and live lives that glorify Jesus, trusting that one day Christ will return, bring perfect justice, and reveal the fullness of His rest and glory. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

This week’s Money Diary is one of those “wait… this is actually so relatable” conversations. She’s a newly admitted lawyer who spent years living paycheck to paycheck while studying, prioritising travel over investing and genuinely having no idea what an ETF even was. Fast forward a few years and life suddenly got very expensive, very quickly. An apartment. A wedding. A honeymoon. Another holiday. A puppy. Moving costs. Furniture. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, she and her husband had the slightly nauseating realisation that they’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a year… without really stopping to think about where any of it was actually going. And honestly? I think a lot of people will see themselves in this one. We talk about the pressure to buy property because everyone else is doing it, the reality of owning an apartment with brutal body corporate fees, lifestyle creep, ADHD hyper-fixation becoming an unexpected budgeting superpower, and what happened when she finally sat down and looked at her finances properly. Now she’s investing 40% of her income, building a portfolio she actually understands, and rethinking what financial security is supposed to look like in the first place. This one feels a little bit like a group chat with your financially self-aware friends. Slightly chaotic. Slightly confronting. But in the best way.

In this powerful message, Pastor B. explores the sobering warning of Lot's wife and the destruction of Sodom as a call to wholehearted devotion and spiritual readiness in the last days. Jesus specifically told us to “Remember Lot's wife,” reminding believers of the danger of divided hearts, spiritual compromise, and longing for the things God is calling us to leave behind.Through the biblical account of Lot, Sodom, and God's judgment, this message reveals how gradual compromise can slowly pull people deeper into spiritual darkness. The moral decay, rebellion, and corruption seen in Sodom mirror many of the challenges facing our culture today, serving as a serious warning for believers to stay spiritually alert and anchored in truth.We also examine the meaning behind Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt, a powerful symbol of a heart still attached to a sinful past. Though she physically left Sodom, her heart remained behind. Her story reminds us that looking back can keep us from moving fully forward in faith and obedience to God.This teaching challenges believers to examine where their hearts truly are, avoid spiritual complacency, and remain fully committed to Jesus Christ. As the world grows darker, God is calling His people to run forward in faith, resist the pull of worldly desires, and live with eternal focus.If this message encouraged or challenged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs this reminder today.#Lot'sWife #SodomAndGomorrah #EndTimes #BibleProphecy #JesusChrist #ChristianFaith #SpiritualWarning #Faith #Repentance #BiblicalTeaching #LastDays #ChristianLiving #GodsJudgment #RememberLotsWifeIf you're NEW HERE, would like to GIVE or follow along with our VIRTUAL SERMON NOTES click below to use our ALL ACCESS PASS.

In Part 9 of our series through 1 Thessalonians, we explore the everyday reality of a spiritually rich life with God. Paul shifts Christianity from being merely a religious event into a continual relationship marked by joy, prayer, gratitude, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. This message reminds us that worship is God's will for our lives—not just in church services, but in our daily rhythms and communion with Him. Through His grace, God desires to transform every part of who we are—spirit, soul, and body—calling us into a deeper, more spiritually aware life rooted in His presence. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In this powerful message, Pastor B.explores the incredible story of the widow of Zarephath and discovers how God works miracles through unlikely people, impossible situations, and simple acts of faith. During a devastating famine, God sent the prophet Elijah to a widow who had almost nothing left, just a handful of flour and a little oil. Yet through her obedience and trust, God provided daily miracles that never ran dry.This message reminds us that miracles often begin with a command from God, are sustained by His promises, and require us to take a step of faith even when resources seem limited. The widow's story teaches that surrendering what little we have into God's hands can lead to supernatural multiplication and provision.We also look at Elijah's journey during the drought, God's unexpected provision through ravens and enemy territory, and the resurrection of the widow's son as a powerful sign of God's authority over both physical and spiritual needs. Ultimately, this message points to Jesus Christ as the true and eternal provision, the greatest miracle of all.If you've ever wondered how God can provide in difficult seasons, strengthen your faith in uncertainty, or work through impossible circumstances, this message will encourage and challenge you to trust Him daily.
It’s all too familiar. Work has you burning you out. And even your manager has suggested that you take some time off. So, why does it still feel weird to accept the offer, especially when you’re desperate for a break? In this week’s Friday Drinks we cover that icky feeling some of us get around taking leave, even though it literally exists to be used. Beyond the stigma, we unpack how taking stress leave might affect your insurances and what to consider before submitting your request. Say it with me: you cannot call yourself a financial adviser if you do not have a license (an AFSL). In this episode, we answer a DM that sends up more red flags than a carnival. A community member asks if she should take advice from an unlicensed financial adviser, even if it’s free. Hear us *calmly* explain why unsolicited advice is illegal, and could actually end up costing you more. Besties don’t let besties get scammed. WHO THE HELL IS HAMISH? Here’s a link to the series about a super-scammer, mentioned on the pod, where an unfortunate number of innocent people were scammed out of their super. The moral of the story? It could happen to anyone! Don’t let that be you. SUSS OUT YOUR COVERAGE Our partners at Skye Wealth are personal insurance pros. Learn more about them over here at skye.com.au.

If boundaries aren't defined, dysfunction will define them for you. In this week's message from the Family Matters sermon series, Scripture reframes boundaries as far more than self-protection. Boundaries are a way of honoring God and putting what He has for you ahead of what others want from you, with the clarity and courage to name it, set it, and live it.If you're new to Harbor or want to get connected in any way click this link to get your New Here gift, find upcoming events or get involved!https://harborchurch.com/connect
In Part 8 of our series through 1 Thessalonians, we're reminded that life ultimately comes down to two relationships—our walk with God and how we love people. This message highlights the power of healthy spiritual community, honoring pastoral leadership, and actively building one another up through encouragement, patience, and truth. As we pursue what is good, cultivate a lifestyle of worship, and stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we become a people who reflect Jesus in a broken world—living with purpose, depth, and a faith that impacts others. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

In Part 7 of our series through 1 Thessalonians, we unpack the hope-filled truth of Christ's return and what it means for how we live today. Paul reminds a young church—and us—that eschatology isn't meant to create fear or speculation, but to anchor us in hope, holiness, and readiness. Because Jesus is coming back, we grieve with hope, live with purpose, and stay spiritually alert—encouraging one another and standing firm in faith. This message calls us to lift our perspective beyond the temporary and live as people of light, grounded in the promise that we will be with the Lord forever. ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?
