This Sunday, Pastor Josh continued the conversation on spiritual gifts, unpacking what it means to “earnestly desire” them. We believe these gifts are still active today and vital to our mission as a church. From prophecy to serving, every gift matters and plays a unique role in strengthening the Body of Christ. Scripture calls us to pursue the gifts eagerly, not for our own recognition but for the building up of others. The Holy Spirit determines the gifts, but we are called to desire them. Without love as our foundation, the very gifts meant to edify the church can become empty displays. Through it all, love remains the “more excellent way” that gives every gift its true meaning. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Pastor Josh preaches from 2nd Timothy 1:13-18 Study Questions 1) What does it mean to “guard the good deposit” and what practical steps can you take to accomplish this in your daily walk with Christ? What role does the local church play in this? 2) In verse 15, Paul mentions that “all who are in Asia” had deserted him, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. How are we to interact with those that have seemingly walked away from the faith or find themselves in unrepentant sin? 3) Paul speaks of Onesiphorus's kindness in our text and how he was “not ashamed of my chains.” How can we emulate Onesiphorus in our love and care for one another during hardship or persecution? 4) Pastors are often tasked with the difficult job of confronting those that wish to cause division within the Body. How can you pray for your pastors in this responsibility? 

Pastor Josh looks at Romans 15:1-7.

Every parent wants to see their kids grow up with strong faith and a sincere love for Jesus. But let's be honest — it's not always easy. In this message, Pastor Josh talks straight about how we can intentionally build homes where God is at the center. It's about more than just good intentions — it's about living out our faith in the everyday moments. Modeling prayer, reading the Word, serving together, and making Jesus the focus of our families — these small steps create a lasting legacy. Your kids are watching you, and they're learning more from what they see than what they hear. You're not alone in this. God's grace is enough, and He's called us to lead well, love deeply, and build homes that reflect His goodness. Take a deep breath and know—right now, you have everything you need to make a difference. Let's commit to putting Jesus first in our families and watch how He transforms not just our homes, but the next generation.

This weekend, we wrap up our summer series, Cultivating Community. Pastor Josh will put everything we have been learning together and provide resources for next steps.

Pastor Josh begins his "How To Lose Your Family" series with a sermon about purity.

Safe isn't a place—it's a Person. In Psalm 91, Pastor Josh shows how real safety is found in knowing the Almighty, not just knowing His name.From ancient towers of refuge to the cities of refuge, God has always provided a place where His people could run and be safe. Psalm 91 declares that those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty—but this promise isn't just about knowing the name of God, it's about knowing God Himself.In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the power of living in the presence of El Shaddai, our refuge and fortress. Just as God preserved Israel in the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day, fire by night, manna from heaven, and water from the rock, He still covers and protects His people today.Discover how the name of Jesus still drives out darkness, and how the ultimate fulfillment of the cities of refuge is found in Christ—the One we run to when we need safety, forgiveness, and life.

Pastor Josh reminds us that someone who believes in Christ, salvation and the grace of God, yet still walks away was never really a Christian at all.

Join our larger panel of discussion as Pastor Josh talks about developing the "How To Lose Your Family" series, and why it is titled as such. Matt Shiles leads the conversation with our 2 Next-Gen Youth pastors about why this topic is so current in today's world. Listen in as they talk about the expectations for this exciting and compelling new sermon series!

What if the middle of the year is actually the moment to start again? In this message, Pastor Josh takes us into one of the most emotional scenes in David's life— Ziklag. Everything is in ruins. The people closest to him are ready to stone him. And yet, somehow, David doesn't break. He strengthens himself in the Lord. This isn't just a sermon about endurance. It's about real life. Real emotions. Real setbacks. And a real God who meets us right in the middle of it. Whether 2025 has felt like victory or survival, this message is an invitation to reset, recharge, and ask God once again, “Teach me to do your will.” Get ready for a week of intentional pursuit as we step into Accelerate Week together.

Do you realize the spiritual gifts you've been given are meant to serve others? In this Sunday's message, "Given to Give: The Purpose of Spiritual Gifts", Pastor Josh unpacked 1 Corinthians 12 and helped us understand how the Holy Spirit has uniquely equipped every believer to build up the body of Christ and carry out His mission. The same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus equips us to walk in His power and grace daily. When we operate in these gifts, God's love flows freely through His church. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

God talks more about money than almost anything else in Scripture, not because He wants something from us, but because He wants something for us. In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to examine how we spend, give, and trust when it comes to our finances. Discover how biblical financial discipline isn't about guilt or greed; it's about putting God first and finding freedom.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

What if worship wasn't just for God, but also for each other? This week, Pastor Josh continues our "Why We Sing" series by exploring how singing together strengthens our faith and puts courage into one another.

Pastor Josh preaches from 2 Timothy 1:8-12Study Questions 1) When we go through suffering, what are some important questions to ask? How does the Gospel bring perspective and hope in our suffering? 2) Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the Gospel or of suffering for it (vs. 8). In what ways might believers face shame or fear in sharing the Gospel, and how can God's sovereignty in salvation (as seen in vs. 9) encourage boldness in sharing the Gospel? 3) In what ways are you tempted to be ashamed of the faith you process? In what ways does Christ meet you in that weakness and provide what you need to overcome that temptation? 4) How can we encourage our children to be bold in their proclamation of the Gospel? In what ways should we encourage them to “count the cost” of following Jesus? 5) How does the community of believers in our local church bring courage in sharing the Gospel and sharing in suffering? How do we encourage one another when one of us is in a season of suffering? 

Ruth 1 isn't just the start of a love story—it's the beginning of redemption. In this message, Pastor Josh walks through a chapter marked by loss, return, and quiet hope. From famine in Bethlehem to a bold vow in Moab, we see how God begins to restore what was broken. Even in bitterness, He is at work. And sometimes, coming back empty is exactly how the healing begins… as we return to the Garden.

Join us for our sermon series, "But Why? Exploring God Through A Child's Eyes." We've given the children of City Hope a chance to ask ANY question to Pastor Josh about the Christian faith. This morning, Josh will be answering the question, "I Want to Go to Heaven! Can We Go Now?"

Guest host Adam Etris sits down with Pastor Josh to unpack Week 3 of our "Why We Sing" series. From funny stories about growing up in church to real talk about leading worship when it's hard, this episode explores what it means to sing as an act of obedience—even when we don't feel like it.

Whether you raise your hands or reflect quietly, worship is for you—and He is worthy of it all.

Pastor Josh Field delivers a message entitled "I'm Not Running Back"

What if the most powerful way to share the gospel isn't a perfect argument but a personal experience? In this message, Pastor Josh closes out our Good News series by unpacking the story of the Samaritan woman and her unforgettable encounter with Jesus. It's not just a story about wells and water — it's about shame, identity, and what happens when you realize the Messiah knows your whole story... and still offers you living water. This week's message reminds us that your story matters. Whether you're fresh off your own encounter with Jesus or wondering what you still need to leave at the well, there's room in this story for you.   Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

One of the most powerful (and overlooked disciplines) in the Christian life is verbal discipline. The Bible says your words aren't neutral... they're either worship or something else entirely.In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what Scripture teaches about the power of the tongue: what we should say, what we shouldn't, and why it matters more than we think. From winning arguments to losing relationships, to speaking life or death, the truth is: every word reveals who (or what) you're really worshiping.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

Singing isn't just something we do when we feel like it—it's something God calls us to. In Sunday's message, Pastor Josh reminds us that worship through song is an act of obedience. We sing because God commands it, and His commands are always for His glory and our good. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Pastor Josh preaches on the "Rogue Emotions" as they appear in Disney's "Inside Out 2". 

Pastor Josh begins a new series on 2 Timothy beginning with an exposition on 2 Timothy 1:1-7. Study questions below:1. Paul addresses Timothy as “my beloved child” (v. 2). How does this reflect the spiritual mentorship and covenantal relationship within the local church? How can we foster such relationships in our local congregation?2. Paul gives thanks for Timothy's “sincere faith” that was also in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice (v. 5). How does this highlight the role of family in passing down the faith, and what does it teach us about God's sovereignty in working through ordinary means to preserve His elect?3. In verse 7, Paul says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.” How does this verse encourage us to face challenges in our Christian life with boldness?4. Reflect on verse 7: What fears or hesitations do you face in living out your faith or sharing the Gospel? How can the truth that God has given you a spirit of “power, love, and self-control” help you overcome these hesitations?5. Paul's gratitude for Timothy's faith (v. 5) and his prayers for him (v. 3) show a deep pastoral care. How can we better support and pray for our pastors and members to remain faithful in their calling?

You don't have to be the best—just His. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks the powerful story of Acts 16, where chains break, hearts change, and God uses broken people to build something beautiful. From prison cells to dinner tables, this message will challenge how you see suffering, purpose, and your place in God's story. You're not disqualified—you're called.

Are you watering fruit instead of the root? In this episode, Pastor Josh and Trevor get real about the difference between doing for God and being with God. From hilarious cherry debates and lawn-mowing theology to vulnerable moments of parenting and spiritual performance, they explore how easy it is to focus on the fruit — our behavior, results, and routines — while missing the root, a deep relationship with Jesus. You'll hear practical wisdom, raw honesty, and maybe a little too much about chicken wings. But by the end, you'll walk away with a better understanding of what it means to abide in Christ, stir your affection for Him, and let the right kind of fruit grow naturally in your life. Whether you're leading, parenting, serving, or just trying to stay connected — this one's for you. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

In the final episode of our Conversations series, Pastor Josh sits down with Lead Pastor Robey Barnes for a real and heartfelt conversation about how it all started—from a quiet moment of calling, to an awkward blind date that led to a beautiful marriage, to stepping into the lead pastor role at just 23. Along the way, they share some funny ministry bloopers, talk about the importance of rhythms and rest, and dream about what God could do through a generation fully surrendered to Him. If you've ever wondered what fuels Pastor Robey's passion or what's really at the heart of City Rev, you won't want to miss this one.

What does it really mean to proclaim the gospel and not just live it?

Whether you're introverted, unsure of your giftings, or just wondering how to talk about Jesus without sounding weird, this message is for you. Get ready to discover the beauty and boldness of speaking God's Word out loud in your everyday life. Packed with practical tools, personal stories, and biblical truth — including a walkthrough of the Roman Road — this teaching will equip you to share the message of Jesus with confidence and compassion.
