Read Psalm 95 “My ways.” In Psalm 95, verses 8-10 are written as God’s voice, exhorting the people to remember who God is and to live out the reality of being God’s people. He says that the people of Israel in the desert did not know His ways. The result of this was that...
Read Psalm 95 “We are the people.” As we talk this week about our first strategy for accomplishing our mission, we’re talking about worship. We said that in worship we align ourselves as individuals and as a community around the reality of God and His mission. Worship also...
Read Psalm 95 “For He is our God.” When we come together for worship as a community, we are aligned together. We align over the reality of who God is. Read Psalm 95, noting the descriptions of God. When we affirm together that God is God, we are affirming that we are not. When we...
Read Psalm 95 Over the past two weeks, we have looked at God’s mission and at the focus of that mission. God’s mission to restore shalom has two parts: to be known by all and for all creation to flourish. Next, we said that the focus of this mission is both broad and specific...
Read Luke 15:8-10 “Go after the one.” We spent some time earlier this week talking about the idea of “The One.” We said that sometimes businesses will determine their “target audience” and then build their business strategies to be most useful in...

Read Acts 1:6-11 “To the ends of the earth.” Just before Jesus went back to heaven, he told his disciples what he wanted them to do. Each Gospel writer captured this command differently. We’ve already talked about Matthew’s version of the Great Commission. In the...
Read Luke 15:1-7 “Go after the one.” This parable in Luke 15 is one of the most powerful pictures of the focus of our mission found in Scripture. The religious people in Jesus’ day were bothered that Jesus spent so much time with people who didn’t look...
Read 1 Timothy 2:1-6 All. 1 Timothy 2:4 tells us that God wants ALL people to be saved and to know Him. Last week we talked about God’s mission to restore shalom: being known by all and all creation flourishing. We said that our mission (helping people find their way back to God)...
“Helping people find their way back to God.” This is how we express our mission at Harbor of Hope. I hope that after the past few days, you can see how this mission is not something unique or new that we here at Harbor just came up with on our own because it sounded cool! No, our...
