    Mary Magdalene: Delivered, Devoted, Sent

    The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (28) — New TestamentSermon Title: Mary Magdalene — Delivered, Devoted, SentSunday, September 27, 2026 What happens when Jesus transforms your life? Gratitude becomes devotion, and your story becomes a testimony that points others to Him. In this message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, we explore the story of Mary Magdalene, a woman who was delivered by Jesus, remained devoted to Him, and was sent to share the news of His resurrection. Mary's story reminds us that when Jesus truly changes your life, you never forget Who changed it. DELIVERED: NEVER FORGET WHAT JESUS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF Luke 8:1–3 tells us that Mary Magdalene had been delivered from seven demons. Her past was part of her story, but it did not have to become her identity. Don't forget, but don't live there. Our past can remind us of God's grace without determining our future. Remember what Jesus has brought you through, but keep following the One who brought you out. Gratitude produces generosity. DEVOTED: DEVOTION STAYS WHEN OTHERS WALK AWAY Mary remained near Jesus through His crucifixion and stayed all the way to the tomb. Even when she didn't understand what God was doing, she stayed. Her story challenges us to ask: Will I follow Jesus when I don't understand? Is my devotion dependent on my circumstances? Don't interpret God through one painful moment. Stay close to Jesus, even when you cannot yet see what He is doing. SENT:  YOUR STORY CAN POINT SOMEONE TO JESUS Mary came to the tomb grieving, but Jesus met her in her sorrow and called her by name: “Mary.” She recognized her risen Lord, and Jesus sent her to tell the disciples what she had seen. Mary's deepest sorrow became a testimony of the resurrection. Jesus knows your name. Your story can point someone to Jesus. Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic. It just needs to point to Him. THREE WORDS TO REMEMBER REMEMBER. Remember something Jesus has brought you through and thank Him. STAY. When you don't understand what God is doing, don't pull away. Stay close to Jesus. TELL. Tell someone something Jesus has done in your life. Mary Magdalene's story is a powerful reminder that you can be Delivered. Devoted. Sent. Remember. Stay. Tell.

    Move Forward: Faith Refuses to Go Back

    MOVE – Faith Takes Action (4)Sermon Title: Move Forward – Faith Refuses to Go BackWednesday, September 23, 2026 God didn't bring you this far to take you backward. When He says “Go forward,” faith refuses to let fear send it back. In this fourth message of the MOVE, Faith Takes Action series, we continue the journey from taking the first step, to staying faithful, to leaving behind what cannot go forward. Now the challenge is clear: MOVE FORWARD. The Israelites stood at the Red Sea with the past behind them and an impossible, looking obstacle in front of them. Fear made them want to return to Egypt, but God had already brought them out, and He was calling them forward. Exodus 14:13–15 reminds us that there is a time to stand firm and trust God, but there is also a time when God says, “GO FORWARD!” FAITH REFUSES TO GO BACK Fear can make familiar bondage look safer than unfamiliar freedom. But God doesn't call us to keep returning to what He has already delivered us from. Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us not to dwell on the former things because God is doing a new thing and making a way where there seems to be no way. This message challenges us to stop romanticizing the past, stop revisiting what God has brought us through, and recognize that what's in front of us is greater than what's behind us. Through the story of the Red Sea and the words of Philippians 3:13–14, we are reminded to: • Forget what lies behind.• Strain forward to what lies ahead.• Press on toward God's calling. You may not be where you want to be yet, but thank God, you're not where you used to be. WHAT DOES FORWARD LOOK LIKE? Moving forward may look different for each of us: • Maintaining a healthy boundary.• Refusing to revisit an offense you've already released.• Continuing the financial discipline you've begun.• Serving even when nobody applauds.• Renewing your mind.• Applying for the opportunity.• Having the conversation.• Forgiving.• Starting again after a setback.• Refusing to mentally return to what God has already brought you through. Your step may feel small, but forward is forward. You don't have to cross the entire wilderness tonight. Just obey God with what's in front of you. Faith Takes Action. Faith Keeps Moving. Faith Leaves It Behind. And Faith Refuses to Go Back. Wherever God is leading you, choose to trust Him, follow Him, and MOVE FORWARD.

    Day of Atonement 5787: The Power of the Blood: Entering the Year of the Sword

    Day of Atonement 5787 — The Power of the Blood: Entering the Year of the SwordSunday, September 20, 2026 As we enter 5787—the Year of the Sword,we are reminded that the Word of God must become the sword in our mouth. After a year focused on the mouth, God is calling us to fill our mouths with His Word, discern truth from deception, and stand firmly on what He has spoken. In this powerful Day of Atonement message, we discover why we begin this new year by looking at the power of the blood of Jesus. The Day of Atonement points us to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His blood provides complete redemption, cleansing, reconciliation, and access to the presence of God. We are not entering this new year from a place of condemnation, but from a place of redemption. This message reveals three powerful truths about the blood: • The Blood Removes What Sin Put Between Us and God — The blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin and guilt and gives us a new standing before God. • The Blood Gives Us Access to the Presence of God — Through Jesus, the veil has been opened. The blood didn't simply bring us out of sin; it brought us into His presence. • The Blood Gives Us Victory Over the Accuser — Revelation 12 reminds us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. As we connect the blood and the sword, we are reminded that the blood tells us whose we are, while the sword—the Word of God—teaches us how to stand. The blood cleanses us. The Word renews us.The blood gives us access. The Word gives us discernment.The blood silences accusation. The Word exposes deception. We don't enter 5787 afraid of spiritual warfare. We enter covered by the blood and armed with the Word. As we move forward, we are challenged to: Stay under the blood.Live repentantly and respond quickly when the Holy Spirit convicts us. Stay in the Word.Read it, study it, memorize it, and speak it. You cannot wield a sword you never pick up. Stay in His presence.The blood opened the veil. Don't live outside the place Jesus died to give you access to. This is a year to know the Word, speak the Word, and obey the Word. You are entering this year covered by the blood and armed with the Word.

    Leave it Behind

    LEAVE IT BEHIND | MOVE: Faith Takes Action (3) You cannot move freely into what God has ahead while carrying everything from behind. In the third message of MOVE: Faith Takes Action, we discover that sometimes moving forward with God requires us to release what was never meant to go with us. Hebrews 12:1–2 tells us to strip off every unnecessary weight, throw aside what entangles us, and run the race with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Before we can run forward, sometimes we have to let go. IN THIS MESSAGE: 1. Not Everything You Can Carry Should Be Carried The question isn't only, “Is this wrong?” We also need to ask: “Is this helping me become who God is calling me to be?” Some things may be permissible but still become weights that hinder our walk with God. 2. Stop Excusing What God Is Asking You to Release Sometimes the weight isn't something someone did to us. Sometimes it's something we keep choosing. Proverbs 28:13 teaches us to confess and forsake what God is asking us to leave behind. Ephesians 4:22–24 shows us the movement: put off the old, renew your mind, and put on the new. God's grace doesn't give us permission to stay stuck. His grace empowers us to change. 3. Decide Which Direction You're Looking Paul said in Philippians 3:13–14 that he was forgetting what lies behind and pressing forward toward what lies ahead. Your past does not have authority over your future. So ask the Holy Spirit: “What am I not taking with me?” Maybe it's fear, offense, comparison, shame, people pleasing, an unhealthy relationship, a destructive habit, negative thinking, or the need for everyone's approval. Whatever God reveals, don't just acknowledge it. Take action. Forgive. Set the boundary. Change the pattern. Replace negative thoughts with God's Word. Confess and forsake what needs to go. Make the decision: “This does not get to go where God is taking me.” MOVE: FAITH TAKES ACTION TAKE THE STEP. When God speaks—MOVE. KEEP MOVING. When your feelings change—stay faithful. LEAVE IT BEHIND. When yesterday tries to weigh down tomorrow—let it go. We're not going backward. We're not staying stuck. We're not carrying unnecessary weight. We're looking to Jesus. Take the step. Keep moving. Leave it behind. Wherever Jesus leads—WE WILL MOVE. 📖 Key Scriptures: Hebrews 9:12 | Hebrews 12:1–2 | 1 Corinthians 10:23 | Proverbs 28:13 | Ephesians 4:22–24 | Philippians 3:13–14 🎙️ MOVE – Faith Takes Action (3)🎧 Leave It Behind📅 September 16, 2026 Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ. #LeaveItBehind #MOVE #FaithTakesAction #KeepMoving #Faith #Jesus #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter

    John The Beloved: Living Close to the Heart of Jesus

    JOHN THE BELOVED: Living Close to the Heart of Jesus | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (27) What if the greatest thing that could be said about our lives isn't what we accomplished for Jesus, but that we learned to live close to Him and love like Him? In this powerful message, we look at the life of John the Beloved and discover how staying close to Jesus transforms our hearts, shapes our identity, and teaches us to love others like Jesus. John began as one of the “Sons of Thunder,” but the closer he walked with Jesus, the more his life reflected the heart of Christ. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE Ask yourself: 1. What is Jesus changing in my heart?Is there anger, bitterness, offense, pride, or unforgiveness He wants to transform? 2. Am I living from the security of being loved by God?Or am I constantly trying to prove myself? 3. Who needs to experience the love of Jesus through me? Ask the Holy Spirit: “Help me love this person like Jesus.” Stay close to Jesus. Receive His love. Allow Him to transform your heart, and let His love flow through your life. PROPHETIC ENCOURAGEMENT “Stay close to Me. I am transforming places in your heart that you could never change through your own strength. As you receive My love, you will become freer to give love. Offense will lose its hold, insecurity will lose its voice, and My character will become increasingly visible through your life.” 📖 Key Scriptures: Mark 3:13–17 | Luke 9:51–56 | John 13:21–26 | John 19:25–27 | 1 John 4:7–19 | Luke 16:10–13 🎙️ Series: The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (27) – New Testament🎧 Sermon: John the Beloved – Living Close to the Heart of Jesus📅 Date: September 13, 2026 Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.

    Keep Moving - Faithfulness Continues When Feelings Change

    Keep Moving – Faithfulness Continues When Feelings Change | MOVE: Faith Takes Action (2) What do you do when your feelings change, the circumstances get difficult, and the excitement of your first step begins to fade? You keep moving. In this powerful second message from the MOVE: Faith Takes Action series, we are reminded that faith takes the first step, but faithfulness keeps taking steps. God is not only interested in moments of faith, He wants to develop lives marked by consistent obedience. Faithfulness is choosing to keep moving even when you don't feel like it. In This Message: 1. Consistency Builds What Crisis RevealsDaniel didn't suddenly become faithful when his crisis came. His faithfulness had already been built through consistent prayer. When pressure came, he continued doing what he had always done. 2. Small Obedience Is Still Significant ObedienceGod sees faithfulness in the little things. What may seem insignificant to us is never insignificant to God. Our daily obedience, stewardship, service, prayer, and persistence are building something that matters. 3. Don't Let Your Feelings Determine Your FaithfulnessJesus Himself experienced anguish in the garden, yet He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done.” Feelings may change, but God's purpose remains. Faithfulness means choosing obedience even when our emotions don't cooperate. 4. Don't Quit Before the HarvestGalatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good. There is a harvest connected to our perseverance. What God is developing may take time, but slow progress is not the same as no progress. This Week's Challenge Last week, the challenge was: Take one step. This week: Repeat the right step. Choose one God-led habit and practice it consistently. Maybe it's:• Prayer• Reading the Word• Renewing your mind• Guarding your words• Responding instead of reacting• Faithful financial stewardship• Serving where God has planted you Don't try to change twenty things at once. Choose one and stay faithful. Remember Daniel: “As he had done previously.” Your feelings may change. Your circumstances may change. The season may change. But God remains faithful. So— Take the step.Build the habit.Stay faithful.Don't quit.KEEP MOVING. 📖 Key Scriptures:Luke 16:10–13 | Daniel 6:10 | Zechariah 4:10 | 1 Corinthians 15:58 | Luke 22:41–44 | Hebrews 12:1–2 | Galatians 6:9 | Hebrews 10:35–36 🎙️ Series: MOVE – Faith Takes Action (2)🎧 Sermon Title: Keep Moving – Faithfulness Continues When Feelings Change📅 Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ. #KeepMoving #FaithTakesAction #Faithfulness #MOVE #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Faith #Obedience #DontQuit #KeepGoing #GodIsFaithful #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter

    Peter: Failure Is Not Final | Pastor Verna DeHart

    Peter – Failure Is Not Final | Pastor Verna DeHart What do you do when you fail? Do you allow your worst moment to define you, or do you allow Jesus to restore you and continue His work in your life? In this powerful message, “Peter – Failure Is Not Final,” Pastor Verna DeHart takes us through the story of Peter and reminds us that failure does not have to be the final chapter of our lives. Jesus saw beyond Simon’s present condition and recognized the Peter he was becoming. Peter stepped out of the boat in faith, experienced fear when the storm captured his attention, and ultimately denied Jesus three times. Yet Jesus did not discard him. Instead, Jesus restored Peter and called him to strengthen others.This message speaks to those who feel disqualified because of their past, those who have stepped out in faith but are now sinking in fear, and those who have experienced restoration and need to use their testimony to strengthen someone else. Pastor Verna reminds us: “Failure is not final when Jesus is involved.” Your past does not have to define your future. Your fear does not have to cancel your faith. Your failure does not erase God’s purpose for your life. What tried to break you can become part of the testimony God uses to strengthen someone else. If you’ve fallen, get back up.If you’re sinking, look back to Jesus.If you’ve been restored, strengthen someone else. God is still forming you, still calling you, and still able to use your life for His glory. Listen now and be encouraged: Failure Is Not Final.
