Verbal Discipline – Words Are Worship (Or Not)

Speaker:

One of the most powerful (and overlooked disciplines) in the Christian life is verbal discipline. The Bible says your words aren’t neutral… they’re either worship or something else entirely.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what Scripture teaches about the power of the tongue: what we should say, what we shouldn’t, and why it matters more than we think. From winning arguments to losing relationships, to speaking life or death, the truth is: every word reveals who (or what) you’re really worshiping.

When Self-Reliance Fails: A Better Way to Live

Speaker:

We are so quick to put the weight on ourselves — to earn more, fix more, build more, be more. But what if that’s the harder way? What if the real danger isn’t in what we don’t have, but in trusting ourselves too much to get it?

In this message, Pastor Josh explores the trap of self-reliance, the burden of “more,” and the invitation to a better, freer, God-dependent life. Don’t miss this wake-up call — especially if you’re tired from carrying it all.

Get Close to God: The Choice That Changes Everything

Speaker:

Most people want more peace, more clarity, and more purpose, but few realize the power of simply getting close to God. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the truth behind James 4:8 and reveals why intimacy with God is not a passive hope, it’s a daily decision. Learn what it means to move towards Spirit-filled strength and discover three practical steps to deepen your walk with Jesus today. 

You’re Not Too Far Gone

Speaker:

This week, Pastor Josh dives into John 11 and the story of Lazarus to reveal that resurrection isn’t just a future promise, it’s a present person. When Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” He wasn’t pointing to a someday hope, He was offering a right-now reality. If you’ve ever felt like you’re too far gone, stuck in despair, or wrapped in graveclothes of fear or addiction, this message is for you. Whatever darkness has covered you, it can’t stop the light God has put in you.

The Good Shepherd: Found, Known, Led

Speaker:

You’ve probably heard that Jesus is the Good Shepherd—but what does that really mean for your life today? This week at Harbor, Pastor Josh unpacks what it means to be known, protected, and led by Jesus in a world full of noise and danger. Whether you’ve wandered far or are clinging close, there’s a seat for you in the Shepherd’s flock. Don’t miss this one!

This Is Church: When Love Leaves the Building

Speaker:

This Memorial Day weekend, Harbor Church isn’t meeting in a building — we are going out to be the church. Pastor Josh has a short but powerful challenge: serve someone today. You don’t need to go overseas to be on a mission — sometimes it’s as simple as mowing a lawn, buying a coffee, or just listening. Be inspired to live out your faith through small acts of big love.

Awkward Moments with Jesus

Speaker:

Ever had a moment where you said the wrong thing and immediately wished you could take it back? Peter had one of those with Jesus—and it changed everything. This message explores how God’s correction isn’t condemnation but a divine invitation to trust Him more deeply and follow more closely.

Louder than Words – The High Cost of Low Standards

Speaker:

When God calls us out, it’s not to shame us—it’s to shape us.

In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks the story of Eli and his sons to show how misplaced priorities in parenting and leadership can quietly erode everything God’s trying to build in our lives. But even in correction, there’s grace—if we’ll let God’s conviction turn into course correction. Parents, leaders, believers: it’s time to ask, “What am I honoring more than Him?”
