The Messiah's Disciples - Matthew 10, Pastor Harris, February 17, 2008. What sort of person does it take to follow Jesus? What characteristics do you need to have in order to accomplish great things for the cause of Christ? Pastor Harris answers those questions as he examines the men Jesus chose to be His closest companions and the instructions He gave them for ministry.

Good morning! Jeremiah 17:9 & 10 says "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds." I'm here to tell you a story about my heart, what it means to be truly saved, and how the Lord, in His kindness, put it all together for me on June 9th, 2007.
First, Salvation. What does it mean? According to Jesus, salvation is exclusively completed through Himself and only Himself. He makes that very clear throughout the gospels and specifically in John 14:6 when He says,"I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." We cannot have a legitimate relationship with God the Father without Jesus Christ interceding on our behalf. Thankfully, He allows us to recognize proof of His Lordship which is why true believers know beyond the shadow of a doubt with whom they will be spending eternity. Let me explain how the Lord brought me to that place of “beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

Jesus' Offer of Rest - Matthew 11:25-30, Pastor Scott L. Harris, August 1, 1993. The analogy of a heavy burden on our back is a good description of what life is like apart from Jesus Christ. Even for the Christian, when we are not walking with the Lord as we should and strive to do things in our own power, it can feel like the weight of the world is upon our shoulders. In this sermon Pastor Harris looks at  Jesus' offer of rest to those who are burdened and heavy-laden. 

The Critical & The Apathetic - Matthew 11:16-24, Pastor Scott L. Harris,  July 25, 1993. If people treated John the Baptist and Jesus with false accusations and their message with apathy, then we and our message will certainly be treated the same as we live for Christ. In this sermon Pastor Harris examines the response of Jesus to His critics and His warning to those who are apathetic. 

True Greatness - Matthew 11:7-15, Pastor Scott L. Harris, July 18, 1993. What makes a person truly great? Our society seems to have laid aside the old virtues and now judges greatness by fame, prestige, power, and wealth. All those things are fleeting. In this sermon Pastor Harris examines the life of a man whom God said was great and shows elements that need to be in our lives if we are to be great.
