    The Power Of His Name - Pastor Rhonda Davis

    Sermon Outline: "The Power of His Name" I. Names Carry Destiny and Meaning Human Labels vs. Divine Identity: Illustrating through the story of choreographer Gillian Lynne—who was labelled a "slow learner" as a child until a doctor realized she was a dancer—Pastor Rhonda emphasized that believers must reject negative worldly labels (failure, addict, bankrupt) and embrace who God says they are (00:45:55, 00:47:41). Rightly Conceiving God's Character: Quoting A.W. Tozer ("What comes into our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us"), Pastor Rhonda urged the congregation to align their view of God with His true, revealed nature rather than viewing Him as punitive, harsh, or a cosmic Santa Claus (00:49:35, 00:52:05). II. How God Introduces Himself (Exodus 34:5–9) The Setting at Mount Sinai: Following Israel's sin with the golden calf, Moses interceded for the nation and asked to see God's glory (00:52:39, 01:00:13). Hidden in the Cleft of the Rock: God placed Moses in the cleft of the rock—a prophetic picture of believers hidden in Jesus Christ (00:53:32). The Self-Proclaimed Nature of God: Descending in the cloud, God proclaimed His own name as The Lord, The Lord God, merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in goodness and truth (00:56:04, Exodus 34:6). III. The Matchless Name of Jesus The Answer to the Ancient Question: Resolving the question posed in Proverbs 30:4 ("What is His name, and what is His Son's name?"), the angelic announcement to Mary and Joseph revealed the Son's name: Jesus (Jehovah is Salvation) (00:43:03, 01:11:31, Matthew 1:21). Authority Above All Names: Citing Philippians 2:9–11, Pastor Rhonda declared that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (01:13:45). Jesus Is Enough: Worldly success, accolades, and experiences can never satisfy the human heart; ultimate fulfillment, healing, and peace are found exclusively in the name of Jesus (01:16:40, 01:17:45). Scripture Index Proverbs 30:4 > "Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?" (00:43:03) Exodus 33:18–22 > Moses asks to see God's glory and is placed in the cleft of the rock (00:53:23). Exodus 34:5–9 > "And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth...'" (00:55:48) Isaiah 49:15–16 > "See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands..." (01:06:46) Matthew 1:21 > "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." (01:12:40) Philippians 2:9–11 > "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow..." (01:13:45) "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and YouTube @cothcleveland.

    The Things God Did Not Tell Noah To Put On The Ark - Michael Cook

    Sermon Outline: "What God Didn't Tell Noah to Put on the Ark" I. The Detailed Instructions for the Ark (Genesis 6:14–22, 7:15) Verbatim Obedience: Highlighting Genesis 7:15, Noah executed every detail given by God rather than conforming to public opinion or personal convenience (00:50:33). The 12 Explicit Instructions Given to Noah: Build an Ark (Genesis 6:14) — Initiating God's vehicle of salvation (00:51:54). Use Gopher Wood (Genesis 6:14) — Building according to divine specifications (00:52:05). Make Rooms/Compartments (Genesis 6:14) — Preparing space for life and family to survive (00:52:26). Cover Inside & Outside with Pitch (Genesis 6:14) — Providing internal and external sealing/protection (00:53:07). Follow Specific Dimensions (Genesis 6:15) — 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high (~450 ft x 75 ft x 45 ft) (00:53:38). Make an Opening/Window (Zohar) Near the Top (Genesis 6:16) — Keeping eyes turned upward (00:56:09). Set a Door in the Side (Genesis 6:16) — Establishing an exit/escape route designed by God (00:56:47). Build Three Decks (Lower, Second, Third) (Genesis 6:16) — Creating divine capacity and structure (00:57:21). Prepare for the Coming Flood (Genesis 6:17) — Building before seeing the rain; faith responds prior to evidence (00:57:49). Bring Family Under Covenant (Genesis 6:18) — Preserving his household (00:58:11). Bring Animal Pairs & Gather Provisions (Genesis 6:19–21) — Partnering with God through practical preparation (00:58:30). Complete All Commands (Genesis 6:22) — Walking in total obedience (00:59:02). II. What God Left Off the Ark: The Steering Wheel No Human Navigation Tools: God never instructed Noah to build a steering wheel, rudder, or sails (01:00:26). Blueprint vs. Route: God provides the structural blueprint for our lives, but He retains ownership of the exact navigational route (01:01:00). Obedience Before Explanation: Believers often delay obedience because they demand answers, destinations, and control first. God requires complete dependence without human steering (01:02:23). III. Surrendering Human Control The Danger of Self-Piloting: Sharing personal testimony of piloting his own life for 46 years, which led to exhaustion, frustration, addiction, and rehabilitation rather than his intended destination (01:08:22). Surrender Over Control: Drawing from Romans 8:14, true sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit, placing higher value on God's presence than on human control (01:06:01). Parked by Providence: Without human hands steering, God navigated the ark through 40 days and nights of floodwaters and safely parked it on Mount Ararat (01:12:35). Key Introspective Questions & Call to Action Are you trying to control what belongs to God? (01:14:04) Have you been resisting the direction of the Holy Spirit? (01:14:21) Will you surrender your plans and trust God's guidance? (01:14:28) Scripture Index Genesis 6:14–22 > Detailed specifications for building the ark, collecting food, and preserving life (00:51:54). Genesis 7:15 > "And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him." (00:50:33) Romans 8:14 > "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."

    This Too Shall Pass - Pastor Tim Salley

    Service Overview & Pre-Sermon Highlights Location: Church of the Harvest Preacher: Pastor Tim Salley Sermon Outline: "This Too Shall Pass: Overcoming Affliction Through Grace" I. The Reality of Affliction & Brokenness Personal Healing Testimony: Pastor Tim returned to the pulpit after facing a severe medical crisis involving a spider bite, staph infection, C. diff, colitis, and sepsis that temporarily affected his joints and mobility (01:10:58). Affliction vs. Bad Theology: Correcting the common misconception that every hardship is caused or willed by God. While we live in a fallen world where brokenness and bad decisions cause pain, God remains the deliverer (00:58:03). The Completed Work of Christ: Full wholeness, peace, and joy are available now through the completed work of the cross (01:05:35). II. Shifting the Load (Isaiah 40:28–31) Gearing Down & Balancing Weight: Like downshifting a vehicle or balancing a trailer load, God uses seasons of hardship to force us to stop carrying excessive weight in our own strength (00:55:05). Waiting on the Lord: Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, mount up with wings as eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without fainting (01:07:38, Isaiah 40:31). Jesus Carries the Burden: Spiritual burnout occurs when we carry weights intended for Christ's shoulders (01:29:20). III. God's Provision in the Wilderness (Isaiah 41:17–20) Rivers in High Places: God promises to open rivers on bare heights and fountains in valleys for those who thirst (01:08:39). Seven Wilderness Trees: God plants seven distinct trees in the desert (cedar, acacia, myrtle, oil, fir, pine, and box tree), representing complete spiritual provision to build a sanctuary of praise even in dry seasons (01:09:28). IV. Ministering Out of Misery (2 Corinthians 1:3–4) Developing True Compassion: Walking through personal suffering shifts our perspective from religious judgment to genuine Christlike empathy for the broken, addicted, and hurting (01:36:41). Taking Off the Mask: Real spiritual breakthrough happens when believers stop hiding behind religious masks and bring their real struggles before God (01:41:57). Scripture Index Isaiah 40:28–31 > "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength... Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength..." (01:06:56) Isaiah 41:17–20 > "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none... I the Lord will hear them... I will open rivers in desolate heights..." (01:08:14) Psalm 34:17–19 > "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles... Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." (01:17:46) 2 Corinthians 12:9 > "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." (01:18:43) Psalm 119:71 > "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes." (01:19:58) 1 Corinthians 10:13 > "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful..." (01:20:14) Romans 8:28 > "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God..." (01:22:24) Philippians 4:13 > "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (01:23:12) 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 > "Blessed be the God... who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble..." (01:27:42) Isaiah 48:10 > "Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction." (01:28:01) "Thanks for listening!

    In this teaching, Dr. Cally Seymour breaks down how to build and maintain a strong, resilient immune system using clear, actionable principles.

Dr. Seymour outlines five foundational pillars of immune health: nervous system function, clean nutrition, toxin reduction, sleep hygiene, and emotional well-being. From understanding how stress and late-night habits impact recovery to simple nutrition strategies like prioritizing whole, God-made foods and key antioxidants, she offers clear guidance on eliminating the obstacles that get in the way of natural healing.

    When Who He Is Meets Where You Are - Pastor Rhonda Davis

    Sermon Outline: "When Who He Is Meets Where You Are" I. Grace in the Mundane & For the Assignment Meeting God in the Everyday: God does not just appear in high-profile moments; He meets believers in the routine, daily rhythms of life (00:48:44). Grace Arrives at the Step of Faith: Illustrating through personal testimonies (preaching in San Juan, Puerto Rico to 8,000 people) and a Miss America ticket analogy, Pastor Rhonda emphasized that grace for an assignment is released when you step through the door, not beforehand (00:50:13). The Exam Already Passed: Sharing a story about a Bible college professor who marked all exam answers correct in red ink, illustrating that righteousness and spiritual victory are gifts given because Christ took the test for us (00:52:59). II. Moses at the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1–14) Outliving Past Consequences: After 40 years on the backside of the desert in Midian (14,600 days), Moses thought his story was over due to past murder and rejection. God demonstrated that a wilderness season cannot cancel His purpose (00:56:32). Holy Ground Wherever You Step: When Moses turned aside to the burning bush, God commanded him to take off his shoes. Under the New Covenant, because Christ lives in believers, every workplace, home, and assignment becomes holy ground (01:00:58). Overcoming the "Imposter Syndrome": Addressing insecurity and the inner soundtrack of "Who do you think you are?", God answered Moses' insecurity ("Who am I?") not with self-confidence, but with God-confidence: "I will be with you" (01:05:05, Exodus 3:12). III. The Power of the Name: Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM) The Self-Existent One: Unlike humans who are defined by parentage, origin, or beginning, God revealed Himself as Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM)—eternal, self-sustaining, uncreated, and needing no external fuel (like the unconsumed bush) (01:13:08, Exodus 3:14). Breathed Presence: Referencing the Hebrew root Haya and the divine name Yahweh, God's very name matches the rhythm of human breath (01:15:50). Jesus, the Great I AM: Connecting Old Covenant revelation to Jesus' "I AM" statements in John (Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life), proving that where Christ steps in, human inadequacy is completely swallowed up (01:28:40). IV. Four Core Kingdom Principles God Takes the Initiative: History is His story; God initiates pre-blessed plans (01:17:31). God Moves in Response to Prayer: Corporate crying out invites divine intervention (01:18:01). God is the Supplier: When we carry anxiety or sleeplessness over assignments, we carry what belongs to God. God stays up so we can sleep (01:20:28). God Heals Your World From Where He Healed You: God uses personal misery, brokenness, and former wildernesses (Mount Horeb/Sinai) to bring deliverance to others (01:22:56, 2 Corinthians 1:3–4). Scripture Index Isaiah 41:10 > "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (00:47:25) Exodus 3:1–6 > "And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed." (00:47:55, 01:00:00) Exodus 3:7–8 > "And the Lord said: 'I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry... So I have come down to deliver them...'" (01:02:00) Exodus 3:11–12 > "But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh...?' So He said, 'I will certainly be with you.'" (01:04:47, 01:08:10) Exodus 3:13–14 > "And God said to Moses, 'I AM THAT I AM.' And He said, 'Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.'" (00:47:55, 01:13:18) Zechariah 4:6–7 > "'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts. 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of Grace, grace to it!'" (00:54:40) 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 > "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ... who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble..." (01:23:22) Psalm 34:17 > "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles." (01:18:38) John 8:58 > "Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'" (01:28:40) "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.

    The Throne Is Open For Business - Pastor Rhonda Davis

    Sermon Outline: "The Throne Is Open for Business: Bold Access in an Unshaken Kingdom" I. John on Patmos: Shift in Perspective (Revelation 4:1–2) The Reality of Hard Places: John went from witnessing Christ's earthly miracles to facing exile, solitary confinement, and hard labour in the rock quarry of Patmos (00:58:10). Looking Up Above Circumstances: In the middle of hard realities, John looked up and saw an open door in heaven. Believers must shift from horizontal focus (earthly struggles) to vertical focus (heavenly throne) (01:00:55, Colossians 3:1–3). An Unshaken & Occupied Throne: The heavenly throne is unmovable, untouchable, and sovereign. God is actively seated on the throne, in total control regardless of world events or personal crises (01:05:33). II. Yom Kippur & The Torn Veil (Hebrews 4:14–16; 10:19–22) The Significance of Yom Kippur: Preached on the exact day of Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), highlighting the transition from the restrictive Old Covenant tabernacle to the limitless access bought by Christ (01:15:38). Access Granted at Calvary: The Old Covenant veil declared "keep out," but when Jesus died, the veil tore from top to bottom (God reaching down to man), granting permanent, bold access to the Most Holy Place (01:23:09, Matthew 27:50–51). The Superiority of Christ’s Blood: Unlike the annual blood of bulls and goats that served as a yearly reminder of sin, Jesus’ precious blood washed sin away permanently (01:18:20). III. Approaching the Throne of Grace Mercy vs. Grace: Mercy handles yesterday (what we have done wrong) (01:24:25). Grace meets us today (supplying power for what we cannot handle) (01:24:25). Never Treating the Blood as Common: We treat Christ's blood as common/unholy when we refuse to forgive ourselves, dig up past forgiven sins, or claim our situation is beyond redemption (01:29:47, Hebrews 10:26–29). Examples of Radical Atonement: If God could redeem Mary Magdalene, the Gadarene demoniac, Peter (after his betrayal), and Saul of Tarsus (a murderer), there is no pit or person beyond the reach of Christ's redeeming blood (01:31:33). Scripture Index Revelation 4:1–2 > "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven... Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne." (00:56:31) Hebrews 4:14–16 > "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God... Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (00:57:13, 01:13:45) Colossians 3:1–3 > "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." (01:04:13) Revelation 3:20 > "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him..." (01:02:00) Psalm 103:19 > "The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all." (01:11:11) Revelation 4:11 > "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created." (01:12:05) Matthew 27:50–51 > "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom..." (01:23:09) Hebrews 10:18–22 > "Having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh..." (01:19:51) Hebrews 10:29 > "...who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" (01:29:47) Revelation 5:5, 9–10 > "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed... You are worthy to take the scroll... for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood..." (01:35:10) "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.
