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.
| Name | Description | Released | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CleanVideoGod's Five Year Plan | God's plan is not your plan. Get used to it. It will be good in ways you can't even begin to imagine. | 5/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | CleanVideoFix It! | Wherever you are, you can be God's instrument. That's where He wants to use you. | 5/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | CleanVideoThe 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 | CleanVideoThe 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 | CleanVideoUnleashed 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 | CleanVideoSelective 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 | CleanVideoDeath 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 | CleanVideoWho 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 | CleanVideoThe 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 | CleanVideoGet 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 | CleanVideoThe 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 | CleanVideoAmor 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 |
| 13 | CleanVideoLiving With a Big But... | We need the courage to see our resistance to God's plan for us. Getting past our big "buts" is key in allowing God to work in our lives. | 2/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 14 | CleanVideoNo 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 | CleanVideoThe 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 |
| 16 | CleanVideoManufactured Glory | The radical Christian eschews the conventional and holds firmly to the revolutionary understanding Christ brought in His life, death, and Spirit. | 1/28/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 17 | CleanVideoParametric Instability | Sometimes getting the swing of things means doing the opposite of what makes sense. | 1/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 18 | CleanVideoTurn the World Upside-Down | Radical Christianity means challenging the assumptions about our world. Turn the world upside down and look at it anew. | 1/14/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 19 | CleanVideoA New Way of Thinking | We've got to be thinking differently because adding a little bit of Jesus to our controlled life is not going to cut it. | 1/7/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 22 | CleanVideoA 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. God wants to rid us of our need for control. He wants to give us a new way home. | 12/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 23 | CleanVideoGod With Us | Emanuel means "God With Us," but what does that *really* mean? To begin with, you've got to get out of the boat. | 12/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 24 | CleanVideoBorn to Die | We see the manger through the beams of the cross. It's always time to remember that. We should always remember why He came. He asks, "What will you do with me?" | 12/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 25 | CleanVideoAre You the One? | Not as expected. That was Jesus. Even John the Baptist told Him to shape up and fly right. Maybe we should expect to expect the unexpected. | 11/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
