Harman Memorial Baptist Church

In this message, we're invited to explore the profound meaning of communion and its central role in our faith. The Last Supper, as described in Matthew 26, becomes a pivotal moment where Jesus institutes a new covenant, written not with ink, but with His own blood. We're reminded that communion is more than a ritual—it's a sacred remembrance that connects us directly to Christ's sacrifice. The bread and wine symbolize His broken body and shed blood, offering us forgiveness and redemption. As we partake, we're not just recalling a historical event, but proclaiming our faith and looking forward to Christ's return. This message challenges us to examine our hearts, confront our sins, and recommit ourselves to our Savior. It's a beautiful reminder that in Christ, we have all we need—hope for the present and a promise for the future.

In this message, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's grace in our lives. The central theme revolves around Titus 2:11-15, which teaches us that grace not only brings salvation but also empowers us to live godly lives. We learn that true Christianity isn't just about believing the right things, but about allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out. This grace trains us to say 'no' to ungodliness and worldly passions, while equipping us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. The message challenges us to examine our lives and ask: Are we truly allowing God's grace to transform us, or are we simply having emotional experiences without lasting change? It's a call to embrace the power of the Holy Spirit and let Him work in every aspect of our lives, not just on Sundays.

Today, we dive into the profound significance of work in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Titus 2:9-10 and Colossians 3:17, we explore how our daily labor is not just a means of survival, but a divine calling. We're reminded that over 40% of our lives are spent working, making it a crucial arena for living out our faith. The message challenges us to see our workplaces as mission fields, where we can adorn the doctrine of God our Savior through our conduct. We're encouraged to work as unto the Lord, not just for earthly bosses, understanding that our ultimate CEO is Christ Himself. This perspective transforms our approach to work, urging us to invest our lives rather than waste or merely spend them. As we reflect on this, let's consider: How can we better glorify God in our daily tasks? Are we using our work as an opportunity to be light in potentially dark places?

We see how God uses types to show us the future of the Trinity through Isaac and Rebekah.

In our exploration of Titus 2, we're challenged to examine the vital signs of our spiritual health. The passage outlines godly characteristics for older and younger men, emphasizing the importance of sound doctrine and spiritual maturity. As we delve deeper, we're reminded that our faith journey isn't just about personal growth, but about setting an example for others. The striking statistic that a father's regular church attendance can increase his children's future attendance by up to 75% underscores the profound impact of our spiritual choices. This message calls us to reflect on our roles as mentors, leaders, and spiritual influences in our families and communities. Are we embodying the qualities of being sober-minded, dignified, and self-controlled? How can we better align our lives with God's design for godly men? Let's consider how we can step up, lead with grace and wisdom, and create a legacy of faith that impacts generations to come.

"From Moriah to Calvary: A Father's Love, A Son's ObedienceGenesis 22 isn't just a story of Abraham and Isaac—it's a prophetic portrait of God's ultimate plan of salvation. Just as Isaac carried wood up the mountain, Jesus carried His cross. Just as a ram was provided as a substitute for Isaac, Jesus became the Lamb of God for us all.This ancient story whispers the truth of John 3:16. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. At Moriah, Abraham's hand was stayed. At Calvary, God's wasn't—because of His great love for us.Remember: Your mountain might be Moriah, but God's provision is Calvary. Whatever you face, look up and declare: Jehovah Jireh—The Lord Will Provide!

In this powerful message, we explore the vital qualities of church leadership as outlined in the book of Titus. The central theme revolves around the importance of having leaders who are 'above reproach' - individuals whose lives reflect the gospel they preach. We're reminded that while perfection isn't the standard, consistency in faith and character is crucial. The scripture emphasizes that leaders should be faithful in their families, temperate in behavior, and firmly rooted in sound doctrine. This isn't just about church hierarchy; it's a call for all of us to live lives worthy of the gospel. As we reflect on these qualities, we're challenged to examine our own hearts and actions. Are we living in a way that points others to Christ? The message reminds us that true leadership in the church isn't about power or control, but about servanthood and faithfulness to God's Word.

Looking at Abraham and Lots choices of paths. One too blessing one to hardship.

We begin our series in Titus. Looking at the call to be a servant to God and to use His Word to guide us in our lives.

In this powerful exploration of Genesis 17 and Romans 4, we dive deep into the Abrahamic covenant and its profound implications for our faith today. The central message revolves around the power of faith and God's unwavering promises. We learn that Abraham's righteousness came not through works or rituals, but through his faith in God's promises. This parallels our own journey of salvation through faith in Christ, reminding us that our relationship with God is based on trust and belief, not on our own efforts. The fascinating symbolism of circumcision in the Old Testament and its connection to baptism in the New Testament highlights how outward actions should be reflections of an inward spiritual reality. As we contemplate Abraham's journey, we're challenged to examine our own faith and trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seem impossible. This message encourages us to live as spiritual descendants of Abraham, embracing a faith that looks beyond the physical to the eternal promises of God.

One was punished so another could go free. One bore shame so another could receive grace.This Easter, remember the profound exchange at the heart of the gospel. Jesus didn't just die near us, He died instead of us.Are you still carrying your chains, or have you embraced the freedom Christ offers?
