Harris Creek Baptist Church

Have you ever been lost before? Do you remember what it felt like? How would you feel if someone gave you directions to get where you were going, only to follow those directions and find out they took you to the wrong place? As we continue our series, I AM, JP teaches through John 14, explaining what Jesus means when He says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."1) What does it mean when he says "I am the Way"?2) What does is mean when he says "I am the Truth"?3) What does Jesus mean when he says "I am the Life"?

While many of us crave independence, we were made for submission to the Shepherd. When Jesus declares He is the Good Shepherd, He calls us to follow His leadership into green pastures and still waters.1) Sheep delight in the care of their Shepherd2) Sheep follow the voice of their Shepherd3) Sheep submit to the authority of their Shepherd

Jesus declares that He is the Gate, which really means He is our protection from our enemy. While the enemy wants to destroy us, Jesus has saved us!1) Beware of thieves2) Jesus is our protection3) Jesus is the only way to an abundant life

Have you ever been somewhere when the lights went out and it suddenly became dark? Could you continue doing what you were doing before the lights went out? Oftentimes, we need light to do what we are trying to do. Darkness thwarts our abilities. One of Jesus’ seven “I AM” statements was “I am the light of the world.” What did that mean back then and what does it mean for us today? JP teaches through John 8 & 9 as we continue our “I AM” series and move toward Easter.1) Jesus is the light2) His followers do not walk in darkness3) Whoever has the light of life shares it 

What’s the longest you’ve gone without food? What do you think is the longest you could go without food? This past Wednesday, we started the season of Lent, the 40-days leading up to Easter. To embrace this season, we are starting a new sermon series called "I AM". To kick off our new series, JP teaches through John 6 where Jesus calls himself the bread of life, teaching us where true sustenance and life is found.1) Stuff leaves us empty, while The Savior is enough 2) Jesus came here in the flesh to take us home forever 3) We have access, we need only appetite 

When this sermon was recorded on February 19, 2023, there was a gathering at Asbury University that had been going on for over a week. Many people were calling this a revival. What exactly is a revival? To help us better understand, JP interviews Dr. Steve Seamands, who was at Asbury during the 1970 Asbury Revival, as well the beginning of what was happening at Asbury at the time of this sermon.

Have you ever taken a trip and gotten lost? If so, how did you find your way back? There are two paths in life: the path of isolation and the path of community. As we continue our series, Fool Proof, JP teaches us that isolation, while easy, is extremely destructive, whereas community, while difficult, is where wisdom, health, and life can be found.1) In isolation we conceal, but with confession we heal2) In isolation we derail, with correction we prevail3) In isolation we're distressed, with wise counsel we find success 

We know words have the power of life and death yet we too often don’t choose our words wisely. We can have our words change by allowing God to change our hearts and then we can bring life to those around us with our words. 1) Don’t waste words2) Foolish words bring death3) Wise words bring life

Since we live in a broken world, conflict with others is inevitable. The good news is Proverbs has given us direction on how to wisely do conflict in a way that honors God. 1) In conflict, the wise fight to understand,2) In conflict, the wise fight to be gentle,3) In conflict, the wise fight to forgive

When it comes to love and marriage, where do you get your information and guidance? Music and movies have a lot to say about the topic, but what exactly does media and entertainment teach us? As we continue our series, Fool Proof, JP teaches through the topic of adultery and how to fool proof your love and marriage by teaching through Proverbs 5:15-23.1) Do not go outside your marriage2) Be captivated by who you have3) Discipline yourself to escape death
