The Christ of Christmas: A Christmas Story - You don't always need wise men, shepherds or angels to tell the story of the miracle of Christmas.

December 24, 2022 16:00 - 9 minutes - 6.7 MB

Given the nature of this podcast and how it is dependent on past recordings, it is inevitable that we are going to run into instances where we simply don’t have the full recording of the teachings.  Well sadly on this final teaching of dad’s 2017 Advent series it seems that the entire teaching was not captured successfully. However, I say we don’t let that get us down.  I say this Christmas we all put on our Hercule Puaro caps Pastor Harris taught us to wear for so many years, and we do our ...

The Christ of Christmas: Born of the Virgin Mary

December 20, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

This episode marks the third week of this Advenseries.  It is that time when we remember God’s decision to become a man, and when we look ahead with anticipation to his second coming to establish his kingdom on earth. The magnitude of this first aspect of Advent, God’s decision to become a man is truly incredible. Just think about it! The one true God, the God who brought the world into being by the words of his mouth, chose, decided, willed, to become a human being. Can you imagine? The fa...

The Christ of Christmas: Something Beautiful - Let the Christ in you be seen this Christmas.

December 12, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

In this episode we will jump into the second episode of our Advent series this year titled, “The Christ of Christmas”. Pastor Harris will tell us more about the “Little town of Bethlehem” which was made famous by the great Christmas carol that we all have sung so many times. Bethlehem is located some six miles south of the city of Jerusalem near the chief north-south route that links Jerusalem with the town of Hebron. The word Bethlehem means “house of bread” and its significance lies in the...

The Christ of Christmas: The Word Became Flesh - Why would God choose to become man?

December 07, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

Now if the Bible clearly teaches that when Jesus entered the life of this world, He was born in a land, and to a people who enjoyed a unique relationship with God. We would imagine, of course, that these people would welcome Him with open arms. Unfortunately, none of these things would prove to be true. Rather than being received with open arms, He was rejected and hated, not adored. When God saw this He was heartbroken. Here was a nation of people who have been longing for a deliverer to a...

Discouragement's Curse - Why we never need to wallow in discouragement again.

November 30, 2022 10:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

As we wrap up Pastor Harris’s fourth and final message on Discouragement.  Let’s step back a few episodes to episode one where Pastor Harris defined discouragement and explained this with some of his own personal examples.  In the second episode on discouragement, Pastor Harris discussed Its many causes and ways that Christians can combat these feelings.

Hopefully this message helps everyone listening to discover their true role in life. Support the Show.

Discouragement’s Causes - Turning Problems into Possibilities

November 16, 2022 10:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

As you all know we recently kicked off a series on Discouragement.  This episode will mark the second of four on this topic that Pastor Harris will deliver.  In the last episode Pastor Harris defined discouragement using its most basic definition of “losing heart” or “to lose heart”.   In this episode Pastor Harris will address some of the causes of discouragement, specifically some that caused him to lose heart. He’ll will walk us through how we as Christians can combat these feelings of d...

November 09, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

We are excited to kick off a new series on the topic of Discouragement starting with this episode. Now I know this doesn't sound like the most exciting or uplifting message series ever.  However, it goes without saying that discouragement is something we all face to some degree and I feel like dad’s approach is very personal and in the end, highly ensightgul and very encouraging.

Six Impediments to Personal Success: The Man with the Plan - Disfunction is the human tendency to become disorganized.

October 25, 2022 09:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

This episode marks the sixth and final teaching of the series Six Impediments to Personal Success. In this message Pastor Harris will bring the final of the six impediments which relates to the human tendency to become disorganized, thus dysfunctional. To demonstrate how this occurs, pastor Harris will use the biblical example of the twin brothers, Esau and Jacob, two brothers who could not have been any more different. Even as a fetus in the womb, Jacob desired to be the firstborn. Before ...

Six Impediments to Personal Success: Going It Alone - The Lone Ranger Mentality

October 24, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MB

In this episode, Pastor Harris will continue his sermon series entitled, “Impediments to Personal Success.” In this series, he is pointed out how the great people of faith guaranteed their successes by their attitudes. Pastor Harris will be addressing what he calls a Lone Ranger mentality, one he considers to be a great impediment to succeeding. So, in this message Pastor Harris will focus on a man who exemplifies a totally different attitude toward life, a man Pastor refers to as being “a t...

Six Impediments to Personal Success: Pure Old Laziness: Overcoming a Poor Work Ethic

October 17, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 22.7 MB

In this episode we are going to continue our series entitled “Six Impediments to Personal Success.” This message for today will be the fourth in this series and will focus on the subject of a poor work ethic. Previously, Pastor has shown us three other impediments, the first is a negative self-image, the second is self-pity, and the third is what dad calls “stinking thinking.”   Whereas last week, Pastor Harris appealed to the great man Joshua to enable us to overcome “stinking thinking,” I...

Six Impediments to Personal Success: The Dilemma of Stinkin Thinkin - Learn how to be like Joshua and never surrender to the plague of stinking thinking.

October 10, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 23.4 MB

In this episode Pastor Harris will be focusing on the third impediment, the one he identifies as stinking thinking. In America today, this stinking thinking is a plague. To illustrate how a stinking thinking can be overcome, he will appeal to one of the great men of the Old Testament, a man whose name was Joshua ben Nun, the central figure in the Old Testament book focusing upon him. According to the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Joshua, he was the assistant to the great man Moses and succee...

Six Impediments to Personal Success: The Disease of Self-Pity - What does the life of Elijah have to do with us?

October 03, 2022 14:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MB

In this episode, Pastor Harris will examine a second impediment to success, which is that of self-pity. It is related to the first but the two are not the same; not even remotely. This second impediment can be an abyss, and some of the greatest people who have ever lived have fallen into this abyss. Those people who have had the pleasure of seeing the movie, “The Darkest Hour,” have seen how Winston Churchill, as great as he was, almost plunged into this abyss. Millions of others have done t...

Six Impediments to Personal Success: Negative Self Image - Developing a authentic and unclouded idea of who we are.

September 26, 2022 09:00 - 36 minutes - 25 MB

Is it safe to say that everyone listening right now agrees that we all want to achieve our goals? I know I do. Personally, I’m a goal setter, sometimes I do it subconsciously but I definitely set goals. Now, we all probably also know that there are many impediments to achieving those goals, or certain impediments that will always stand in our way. Well, for the next six episodes Pastor Harris will touch on one of these impediments each episode and help us address this head-on, and put us on ...

Breaking the Chains: Grace vs. License - License to sin, or license NOT to sin?

September 19, 2022 09:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

As the great Apostle Paul opens Galatians 5, he returns once again to the all important issue of salvation and circumcision. As we recall, that was the issue that provoked the apostle to write the epistle to the Galatians in the first place. Bear in mind that certain Christians of a Pharisee persuasion who belonged to the church in Jerusalem had journeyed to the region of Galatia in Asia minor. They had made this journey because they were concerned with the certain heretical positions that h...

Breaking the Chains: Be As I Am - Growing up in the things of God

September 13, 2022 09:00 - 34 minutes - 23.4 MB

In this episode Pastor Harris will pick back up in Galatians, chapter 4:6-12 and discuss the process of maturing in God and many aspects surrounding that idea.  He points out how important it is to realize that simply asking the Lord Jesus into your heart does not automatically make you a fully matured Christian.  Furthermore, we should all try to avoid immaturing ourselves as a believer as well.  Support the Show.

Breaking the Chains: Made of Woman - The Apostle Paul tells the Christmas Story in five easy words.

September 07, 2022 09:00 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MB

In this message Pastor Harris is going to tell us the Christmas story as presented by the Apostle Paul.  The amazing thing is that Paul tells the Christmas story and explains it with five easy words.  This is what Paul writes.  “When the fullness of time was come, God. sent. forth. his. Son. That is it. That is the Christmas story as told by the Apostle Paul. Obviously his version is very short and it is also extremely powerful. The major point the Apostle was making is this.  Christmas is ...

Breaking the Chains: The Babysitter

August 30, 2022 09:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

In the previous episodes of the Breaking the Chains series on the epistles to the Galatians. Pastor Harris makes a rather revolutionary claim.  He suggested that the Abrahamic covenant, the great agreement described in Genesis 15, is really the New Testament covenant. In other words, he believed that the Abrahamic Covenant was an initiation of the new covenant.  This covenant was established on a dark starry night sometime around 1750 BC. But that covenant was not fully finalized until 30AD ...

Breaking the Chains: Covenant Provisions - The Apostle Paul Argues Jesus + Nothing

August 23, 2022 09:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

You may recall the churches in Galatia were founded by the missionary activities of the Apostle Paul. But the believers in that area had turned away from the true gospel messages Paul had delivered to them.  In fact Paul said they had turned to another gospel. These congregations had allowed themselves to be seduced into believing that the Pauline Gospel of Jesus plus nothing was not adequate to save them.  So they decided to adopt the concept of Jesus plus circumcision, Jesus plus rules, an...

Breaking the Chains: No Help Wanted, No Help Needed - Can Gentiles become Jews? What’s the difference between Hebrews and Jews? When was Abraham’s salvific experience? Why does it all matter?

August 15, 2022 09:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

In this series we have been examining what Pastor Harris calls the Pharisee Gospel. Over the past seven episodes we have taken a close look at the various arguments of a group of Pharisee Christians used to convince believers in Galatia that they should abandon the concept of grace and submit to Jewish law. These Pharisee Christians were so convincing that many of the Galatians believed and concluded that they had not been saved at all. All this confusion began because these Galatians had b...

Breaking the Chains: Crucified with Christ - We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.

August 08, 2022 09:00 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MB

I hope everyone continues to enjoy the “Breaking the Chains” series.  This series sure continues to bring a very unique insight into the process of being born again and how the spirit continues to work in the believer from that point forward.  This week I was talking with a listener and we were discussing this series.  As we briefly discussed our thoughts and take aways thus far we both came to a similar thought.  What this series so far has helped reveal to us is how we as humans have diffi...

Breaking the Chains: The Great Conflict - Why one church thrived and another church died.

August 01, 2022 09:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MB

In the last message of the Breaking the Chains series, Pastor Harris examined the thorny issue of the curse of the law in the so-called “Jerusalem incident”.  This incident involved a confrontation between the Apostle Paul and the leaders of the church in Jerusalem. What made this confrontation tricky was that some of the leaders in the church were some of the original 12 disciples of Jesus. Also present in the leadership were certain Christians from a Pharisee sect who had become very vocal...

Breaking the Chains: The Trouble with the Law - Why struggling to keep the law will never save us.

July 25, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

In the last episode we saw that the Apostle Paul had introduced the believers in Galatia to the concept of freedom in Christ. Paul knew once he had introduced this idea the legalists would show up in force, and they did!  Legalists came to Galatia to challenge this concept, and when Paul journeyed to Jerusalem they showed up again. Anytime freedom in Christ is championed, whether it be now or then, legalists will always voice an abjection.  However, the Apostle Paul was ready for the legal...

Breaking the Chains: The Jerusalem Incident

July 18, 2022 09:00 - 32 minutes - 22 MB

In this episode we will learn that the letter to Galatians is focused on two major struggles for the earliest church and how the outcome of those struggles would determine the future direction of the body of Christ on earth. These two struggles were as follows. Salvation by Grace vs Salvation by Works, and Spirituality by Grace vs Spirituality by Works. We should be aware that one major difference exists between these two concepts. Salvation and Spirituality. In this message Pastor Harris w...

Breaking the Chains: The Revelation

July 11, 2022 09:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

In the past two episodes we have seen how certain Pharisee Christians have visited the church in Galatia. When they arrived they told the Galatians that the message they preach is just another Gospel of the same kind of what Paul preached. However, in the epistle to the Galatians that Paul writes, he says, no no no this is not the gospel I preach.  This is another gospel the opposite of what I preach. Paul goes on to tell the churches that the gospel these Pharisee Christians were preaching...

Breaking the Chains: Religion vs Relationship

July 04, 2022 09:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

In this episode we’re going to dig into the second message of the Breaking the Chains series we recently started featuring Paul’s letter to Galatia. As a quick refresher, Paul initially wrote this letter to address the mammoth problem that had originated in the churches. Paul and  Barnabas established churches in Galatia on their first missionary journey.  However, the believers had begun to accept the idea that Grace was not sufficient for salvation. This idea was birthed as the result of a...

Breaking the Chains: Abundant Grace - How did the virus of legalism germinate amongst the Galatians?

June 27, 2022 09:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MB

In this episode, we are going to jump into a new series from the book of Galatians.  This series of teachings were delivered at Ariel Chapel in Norman Oklahoma back in 2011 and overlapped into 2012.  Paul’s letter to Galatia, like many other books, has its own theme. For example, the theme of the book of Romans’ is Justification by Faith.  The theme of Ephesians is the Church.  The theme of Philippians is the joy of the Holy Spirit. Well, Galatians has a theme too, and it is one that was ver...
