Podcast Description
Sermons by Dr. John Westfall (and friends!) at Harbor Church in North Seattle. No stained glass masquerade here, but you will find Christians working out their faith in the real world. God calls us to be real, not to set ourselves above others, not to negate ourselves, but to become fulfilled through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

3 |
CleanThe Secrets That Kill You | Desire can lead us many ways. Sometimes it can lead us to wholeness, other times it can lead us to alienation and death. How it leads us depends on us. | 5/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
4 |
CleanThe Vulgar Church | No, the vulgar church isn't where people cuss a lot. Vulgar means common, it means everyone. The church isn't God's Country Club for the Elect Few, it is truly a place of the people, all people. | 4/28/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
5 |
CleanUnleashed Lives | Christ gave us a commission to go out in the world and live our lives as Good News. He unleashed us on the world. Now what? | 4/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
6 |
CleanSelective Perception | OK, so why didn't the disciples recognize Jesus after the resurrection? I mean really. Well, maybe we wouldn't do so well either in dealing with the unexpected. | 4/14/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
7 |
CleanDeath is Not the End | Even as you go through the motions of your life, death hangs over you. Easter is not really about "Family and Fun," it's about the fact that death is not the end. | 4/7/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
8 |
CleanWho Loves a Parade? | There are those who love a parade and those who don't. Sometimes we say, "Can't you get those people to shut up?" But, sometimes, you just got to have a parade. | 3/31/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
9 |
CleanThe Radical Martha | Martha is too often dismissed as having the wrong priorities. What if we look at her with new eyes. What can we learn from her? | 3/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
10 |
CleanGet in the Game! | Zacchaeus wasn't well regarded. He wasn't the right person for the job. Jesus said, "Get in the game!" anyway. Getting in the game changes your perspective. | 3/10/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
11 |
CleanThe Finding God | Wandering and lostness isn't about blaming, it's about finding. God comes and finds us and brings us home and there is celebrating, more than for the other 99 that didn't wander off. | 3/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
12 |
CleanAmor Sin Miedo (Love Fearlessly) | Guest speaker Carlos Hernandez speaks about his work with the Association for a More Just Society in Honduras and about what it means to love fearlessly and stand up for justice as Christians in a dangerous world. | 2/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|

|
14 |
CleanNo Grownups in Heaven | Maybe children are irksome, noisy, and distractable, but they are also open to what's to be, fearless questioners and seeking to make a difference. We need to be more like that. | 2/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
15 |
CleanThe Church Unleashed | Jesus gave the church power and authority; not coercive external pressure which is the province of man but the power and authority enabled by the love of God. | 2/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|

22 |
CleanA New Way Home | Herod was a great man. He achieved this greatness through control. He achieved this control through brutality, intrigue and murder. Well, maybe he wasn't so great.

|
23 |

|
25 |
