    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 CarriedThe 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 ReleaseSometimes 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 LookingPaul 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 ACTIONTAKE 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, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#LeaveItBehind #MOVE #FaithTakesAction #KeepMoving #Faith #Jesus #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 625: John The Beloved: Living Close to the Heart of Jesus 14.09.2026 57mnt
    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 CHALLENGEAsk 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, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.
  • Episode 624: Keep Moving - Faithfulness Continues When Feelings Change 10.09.2026 48mnt
    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 ChallengeLast 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 youDon'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, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#KeepMoving #FaithTakesAction #Faithfulness #MOVE #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Faith #Obedience #DontQuit #KeepGoing #GodIsFaithful #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 623: Peter: Failure Is Not Final | Pastor Verna DeHart 09.09.2026 48mnt
    Peter – Failure Is Not Final | Pastor Verna DeHartWhat 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.
  • Episode 622: Faith Moves Before it Sees | Pastor Verna DeHart 03.09.2026 44mnt
    In this powerful message from the MOVE: Faith Takes Action series, discover what it means to have a faith that moves before it sees.James 2 reminds us that genuine faith is more than belief, it is demonstrated through actions of obedience. Faith responds to what God has said, even when the full picture is not yet visible. Faith has feet. Faith moves. Faith obeys.Through the examples of Noah, Abraham, the woman with the issue of blood, and the priests crossing the Jordan River, we are challenged to trust God's Word enough to take the next step.You may not know everything that is ahead, but you know the One who is leading you. God is already in your tomorrow, and He is calling you to trust His voice, obey His Word, and move forward in faith.In this message, you will be encouraged to ask:What has God already shown me?What has kept me from responding?What practical step of obedience can I take this week?Sometimes the greatest breakthrough begins when we move from “Someday I will” to “Today I did.”This is your season to:Hear Him.Trust Him.Obey Him.And MOVE FORWARD.Join us as we learn that faith moves before it sees, because when God speaks, our response is obedience.Sermon Series: MOVE – Faith Takes ActionMessage: Faith Moves Before It SeesDate: Wednesday, September 2, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.
  • Episode 621: Andrew: The Hero Who Brought People to Jesus | Pastor Verna DeHart 30.08.2026 59mnt
    Andrew – The Hero Who Brought People to Jesus | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (25)You don't have to be famous to make an eternal difference. Faithfulness is bringing what, and whom you have to Jesus.In this powerful message, we explore the life of Andrew, a disciple who may not have received the same recognition as others, but whose faithfulness had an eternal impact.Before Andrew brought others to Jesus, he encountered Jesus himself. His life reminds us that we cannot substitute ministry for intimacy. Our mission must always flow from our personal relationship with Christ.Four Powerful Lessons from Andrew:1. Before You Bring Someone to Jesus, You Must Encounter Him YourselfChristianity isn't simply knowing information about Jesus, it's knowing Him personally. Before asking, “Who am I bringing to Jesus?” we should also ask, “Am I personally spending time with Jesus?”2. When You Find Jesus, Bring Someone With YouAfter Andrew encountered Jesus, one of the first things he did was find his brother Simon and bring him to Christ. We may feel like someone will never change, but the Spirit reminds us: Keep praying. Keep loving. Bring them to Jesus.3. Never Underestimate What You Can Put in Jesus' HandsAndrew brought a small offering, five loaves and two fish, and placed it before Jesus. What seems small in our hands can become powerful when surrendered to Christ.4. Never Stop Bringing People to JesusAndrew's journey went from bringing one brother, Peter, to bringing a small offering, and eventually helping bring people from the nations to Jesus.Never underestimate where one act of obedience can lead.Andrew never became as prominent as Peter, but before Peter preached to thousands, Andrew brought Peter to Jesus.Today's ChallengeIdentify one person who needs an encounter with Jesus. It may be a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or prodigal.Pray for them this week. Look for an opportunity to encourage them, invite them, share your testimony, or simply demonstrate the love of Christ.Don't carry the pressure to change them.Bring them to Jesus, and trust Him with the results.📖 Key Scriptures:John 1:35–42 | John 6:5–13 | John 12:20–22🎙️ Sermon Series: The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (25) – New Testament🎧 Sermon Title: Andrew – The Hero Who Brought People to Jesus📅 Date: Sunday, August 30, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#Andrew #BringPeopleToJesus #HeroesOfTheBible #Jesus #Evangelism #Faithfulness #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Faith #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 620: Mary & Joseph: When God Interrupts Your Plans | Pastor Verna DeHart 23.08.2026 59mnt
    Mary & Joseph – When God Interrupts Your Plans | The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (24)What happens when God's plan interrupts the plans you've made for your life?In this powerful message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, we look at Mary and Joseph and discover what it means to trust God when His direction doesn't look anything like what we expected.Mary teaches us surrender. Joseph teaches us obedience. Together, they teach us trust.Mary said yes to God even when she didn't understand how His promise would unfold. Joseph chose obedience even when what he saw seemed to contradict what God had spoken. Neither had the complete roadmap, they simply trusted the One who did.4 Truths from Mary & Joseph:1. Surrender Says Yes Before It Knows All the DetailsMary's response demonstrates genuine surrender: “Let it be done to me according to what you have said.” Faith doesn't require us to understand everything before we obey. It requires us to trust the One who is leading.2. Obedience Trusts God Above What It SeesJoseph reminds us that obedience is faith in motion. Some of our greatest spiritual battles happen between what we see and what God said. Sometimes we don't need another word from God, we need to obey the last one He gave us.3. God's Will Does Not Guarantee an Easy RoadMary and Joseph were in the center of God's will, yet they experienced uncertainty, difficulty, opposition, and closed doors. A difficult season doesn't mean you've missed God.Never judge God's faithfulness by one difficult chapter.4. Surrender Is Not a Moment, It's a LifestyleSurrender means continuing to say “Yes, Lord” when God changes our plans, when obedience costs something, when we don't understand, and when the road becomes difficult.Mary and Joseph didn't have the whole plan. They trusted the One who did. Because two ordinary people said yes, Bethlehem happened, prophecy was fulfilled, the Messiah came, and the world was forever changed.Maybe God is asking you to surrender a plan, relationship, timeline, expectation, or dream.You don't have to know everything that's coming. You only have to know the One who's leading.📖 Key Scriptures:Luke 1:26–38 | Matthew 1:18–25 | Luke 2:1–7 | Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23💬 Key Takeaway:“Faith says yes to God even when we don't understand His plan, because we trust the One who is leading us.”🙏 Prayer:“Lord, my answer is yes.”Ask yourself this week:• What do I need to surrender?• What do I need to obey?• Where do I need to trust God instead of what I see?Don't worry about having the entire roadmap. Take the next step God has given you.🎙️ Sermon Series: The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (24) – New Testament🎧 Sermon Title: Mary & Joseph – When God Interrupts Your Plans📅 Date: Sunday, August 23, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#MaryAndJoseph #WhenGodInterruptsYourPlans #HeroesAndGreatStoriesOfTheBible #TrustGod #Surrender #Obedience #Faith #GodsPlan #Jesus #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #ChristianSermon #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 619: Knowing the Voice of the Holy Spirit | Pastor Verna DeHart 20.08.2026 54mnt
    Knowing the Voice of the Holy Spirit | Walking in the Spirit (2)How can we recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit in a world filled with competing voices, distractions, fear, and deception?In this powerful message from the series Walking in the Spirit: Living Free from Deception in the Last Days, we are reminded that the Shepherd is still speaking, and as His sheep, we can learn to recognize His voice.Jesus said, “My sheep know My voice.” The goal isn't simply to hear God occasionally in moments of crisis. The Holy Spirit desires to become the familiar voice we walk with every day.This message explores four foundational truths about knowing and following the voice of the Holy Spirit:1. The Shepherd Is Still SpeakingGod has not stopped speaking. As we stay close to Him, His voice becomes familiar, His peace becomes recognizable, and His leading becomes clearer.2. The Holy Spirit's Voice Always Agrees with God's Word and Reveals JesusThe Holy Spirit will never contradict the truth of Scripture. His voice leads us toward Jesus, produces Christlike character, increases our love for God's Word, and calls us into greater obedience and humility.3. Recognition Grows Through RelationshipLike Samuel, we learn to recognize God's voice through relationship and intimacy. The more time we spend with the One who is speaking, the more familiar His voice becomes, and the easier it is to recognize and reject the voices of fear, pride, and the world.4. The Blessing Comes Through ObedienceHearing God's voice is not the finish line. The proof that we've heard God's voice is found in our willingness to follow and obey what He says.This message challenges us to move beyond simply asking, “How can I hear God more clearly?” and begin asking, “How can I spend more time with the One who is speaking?”Because intimacy with God produces clarity in hearing God.📖 Key Scriptures:Deuteronomy 28:1–2John 10:1–5John 16:13–151 Samuel 3:8–10John 10:27💬 Key Takeaway:“The proof that we've heard God's voice is found in our obedience.”🙏 Prayer:“Lord, help me stay close enough to You to recognize Your voice. Teach me to know Your Word, discern Your leading, and follow You in obedience. Let my mind, words, emotions, finances, and mission be governed by Your truth and peace.”🎙️ Sermon Series: Walking in the Spirit (2) – Living Free from Deception in the Last Days🎧 Sermon Title: Knowing the Voice of the Holy Spirit📅 Date: Wednesday, August 19, 2026Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#KnowingTheVoiceOfTheHolySpirit #WalkingInTheSpirit #HolySpirit #HearingGod #GodsVoice #HolySpiritLeading #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #John10 #Faith #Obedience #SpiritualDiscernment #Jesus #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 618: In Position | Pastor Simone Benoit 19.08.2026 35mnt
    In Position | Pastor Simone BenoitWhat if the disruption you're experiencing isn't a setback, but God's way of positioning you for what He wants to do next?In this powerful message, Pastor Simone Benoit teaches us that God is aligning our hearts, minds, desires, decisions, and direction so that we can be in position for His purpose.Through the journey of Joseph, we discover that God doesn't simply prepare a position for us, He prepares us for the position. Sometimes that preparation involves divine adjustments, unexpected transitions, uncomfortable seasons, and places we never planned to be.Joseph's journey took him from his father's house → the pit → Egypt → Potiphar's house → prison → the palace.What looked like setbacks were actually steps in God's positioning.This message reminds us:• God aligns you before He aligns things around you.Before God changes your circumstances, He may first change you.• Divine alignment requires divine adjustment.We cannot ask God to align us with His will while resisting every adjustment He makes in our lives.• Sometimes God has to move you to position you.You may not understand where you are until the moment arrives that requires what God has developed in you.• Don't confuse alignment with comfort.Being in God's will doesn't mean there won't be difficulty. Alignment means having confidence in the One directing you through it.• Alignment requires obedience.Knowing God's Word is not the same as living God's Word. Sometimes we don't need another word—we need to move on the Word God has already given us.Joseph's story ultimately reminds us that God can take what was meant for evil and use it for good. What looks like a detour may actually be divine positioning for a greater purpose.📖 Key Scriptures:Proverbs 3:5–6Genesis 37:5–8Romans 12:2Genesis 39:7–12Genesis 39:20–23Psalm 23:3–4James 1:22Genesis 50:20🎙️ Speaker: Pastor Simone Benoit📅 Date: Wednesday, August 12, 2026🎧 Sermon Title: In PositionKey Takeaway:“I'd rather be uncomfortable in God's will than comfortable somewhere He never called me to be.”Take a moment to ask yourself: What is God adjusting in me so He can position me for what He has next?Listen, be encouraged, and trust the process.

  • Episode 617: Dry Bones into a Dynamic Army | Bishop Ostine Paul 19.08.2026 55mnt
    Dry Bones into a Dynamic Army | Bishop Ostine PaulWhat looks dead, defeated, and beyond repair is not beyond the power of God.In this powerful message, Bishop Ostine Paul takes us through Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the dry bones, revealing how God can breathe life into situations that have experienced long-term defeat, brokenness, and hopelessness.The message reminds us that the length of the problem does not limit the strength of God’s power. What seems irreparable can become repairable. What appears irreversible can become reversible. And what looks lifeless can become a powerful army when the breath of God enters it.Bishop Ostine Paul shares four powerful truths:1. Breakthrough Begins in BrokennessBrokenness is not the end—it can be the prerequisite for breakthrough.2. Irreparable Becomes RepairableGod can restore what appears abandoned, damaged, and beyond repair.3. Irreversible Becomes ReversibleThe Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can change what seems impossible to change.4. Resistible Becomes IrresistibleWhen the breath of God enters what was once dead, it becomes a dynamic army empowered by His Spirit.Your situation may have been dry for a long time, but old problems can encounter new power. God is still able to restore, revive, rebuild, and breathe new life into what appears hopeless.The dry bones were not the end of the story. And your situation is not the end of your story either.📖 Key Scripture: Ezekiel 37:2, 10🎙️ Speaker: Bishop Ostine Paul📅 Date: Sunday, August 16, 2026🎧 Sermon Title: Dry Bones into a Dynamic ArmyListen, be encouraged, and allow God to breathe fresh life into every area that has become dry.Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.#DryBonesIntoADynamicArmy #BishopOstinePaul #Ezekiel37 #Breakthrough #HolySpirit #GodsPower #Faith #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #ChristianSermon #GodCanRestore #SoulHarvestWorshipCenter
  • Episode 616: John The Baptist - Point People to Jesus | Pastor Verna DeHart 10.08.2026 1j 9mnt
    John the Baptist – Point People to JesusWhat does it mean to faithfully fulfill your God-given assignment?In this powerful message from the Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, we look at the life of John the Baptist, a servant who understood that his purpose was never about gaining recognition, but about preparing the way for Jesus.John’s life teaches us that God prepares His servants before He presents them, and that hidden seasons are not wasted seasons. They are opportunities for God to strengthen our spirit, shape our character, and prepare us for the assignment ahead.We also discover what it means to be a true hero of faith: to speak the truth with courage, walk in humility, and point people to Christ rather than ourselves. John boldly proclaimed the truth, called people to repentance, and continually directed attention toward Jesus. His declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” captures the heart of a life fully surrendered to God.This message challenges us to silence the voice of the flesh and listen to the voice of the Spirit, to choose faithfulness over recognition, obedience over compromise, and God’s approval over the applause of people.As you listen, ask yourself:Is my life pointing people to Jesus?This week, look for opportunities to encourage someone with Scripture, share your testimony, pray for someone, and demonstrate the love of Christ through your actions. Like John the Baptist, you may be the voice God uses to prepare someone’s heart to receive Jesus.You were not called to make your name great, you were called to make Jesus known.🎙️ Listen, be encouraged, and discover how your life can point people to Jesus.Soul Harvest Worship Center — Hosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.
  • Episode 615: The Battle Within - Walking in the Spirit or the Flesh? Pastor Verna DeHart 07.08.2026 58mnt
    Walking in the Spirit (Part 1)Living Free from Deception in the Last DaysThe Battle Within: Walking in the Spirit or the Flesh?Every believer faces a battle within, the ongoing tension between the desires of the flesh and the leading of the Holy Spirit. The question is not whether the battle exists, but which voice will we choose to follow?In this powerful opening message of the Walking in the Spirit series, we explore how the flesh and the Holy Spirit produce two very different paths. What we continually surrender to will shape our thoughts, our character, our decisions, and ultimately the direction of our lives.Through Galatians 5 and practical teaching, this message challenges us to recognize the subtle ways the flesh can lead us toward pride, offense, anger, selfishness, deception, and spiritual hardness, while the Holy Spirit produces the character of Christ within us.You'll discover:Why every believer experiences a daily battle between the flesh and the Spirit.How the flesh can gradually lead to self-deception and spiritual destruction.Why humility and a teachable heart are powerful protections against deception.How the Holy Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.Why we shouldn't simply ask God to change our behavior, but surrender our hearts so He can transform us from the inside out.How to recognize the voice of the flesh versus the voice of the Spirit.Why healthy believers welcome the Holy Spirit's conviction because conviction leads to freedom.The goal isn't simply to try harder to become more spiritual. It is to surrender deeper, abide in Christ, listen for the Holy Spirit's voice, and allow God's presence to produce His fruit in our lives.As we begin this series, the challenge is simple:Don't be led by your feelings.Don't be controlled by your flesh.Don't believe every voice you hear.Walk in the Spirit.Key Scripture:📖 Galatians 5:19–23📖 Isaiah 40:4–5Offering-Battle Seed Scripture: Isaiah 40:4–5 (AMPC)As we faithfully prepare the way for the Lord through obedience, generosity, and a surrendered life, we make room for God to straighten what is crooked, remove obstacles, and reveal His glory through us.If this message challenges or encourages you, share it with someone who needs to grow in spiritual discernment and freedom.

  • Episode 610: Why the Cross? More than a Symbol Pastor Verna DeHart 14.07.2026 34mnt
    Why the Cross? – More Than a SymbolSunday, July 12, 2026Why did Jesus have to die on a cross? Why has this symbol remained central to the Christian faith for over two thousand years?In this powerful message, we discover that the cross is far more than a religious symbol, it is the greatest demonstration of God's love, the place where our sin debt was paid in full, the moment darkness was defeated, and the doorway into our new identity in Christ.Through Scripture, we explore four life-changing truths about the cross:✝️ The Cross Reveals the Love of GodEven while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The cross destroys the lie that God is distant or uncaring and declares His overwhelming love for humanity.✝️ The Cross Paid a Debt We Could Never PayAt Calvary, Jesus canceled the debt of sin, shame, guilt, and judgment. Religion says, "Try harder." The Gospel says, "Jesus paid it."✝️ The Cross Defeated the Powers of DarknessWhat looked like defeat became Heaven's greatest victory. Through the cross, Jesus triumphed over sin, death, fear, and every power of darkness.✝️ The Cross Gives Us a New IdentityBecause of Jesus, we are no longer defined by our past, failures, or shame. In Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed, and made completely new.This message also highlights the beautiful significance of water baptism, a public declaration that our old life has been buried with Christ and that we have been raised to walk in newness of life.Key Scriptures:Galatians 6:14 • Romans 5:8 • Colossians 2:13-15 • 2 Corinthians 5:17 • Romans 6:4No matter what you've done or where you've been, the cross declares:"I see you.""I know you.""I love you.""I came for you."The cross settled your value, secured your future, and purchased your victory.Corporate Declarations:Because of the cross, I am forgiven.Because of the cross, I am loved.Because of the cross, I am free.Because of the cross, I am a new creation.Because of the cross, my future belongs to God.Join us as we celebrate the life-changing power of the cross and the new life that is found in Jesus Christ.Soul Harvest Worship CenterHosting His Presence • Revealing Christ
