Daily DevotionalWitnesses Of, Not Witnesses For: Embracing a “WE” Worldview
Sermon SummaryThere are some passages of Scripture that feel like home to me. They do not simply report what happened long ago, as if the Bible were only a record of someone else’s encounter with God. They help me recognize where I am standing right now. They give language to things I have felt but could […]
A Safety that Lasts
Pastor Harry's SubstackIn this week’s Faith at Work sermon, Pastor Harry Jarrett reflects on John 14 and Acts 7 to ask one of the questions many of us carry quietly into worship: Am I going to be okay? Jesus does not answer that question by promising that nothing painful will happen. Stephen’s story makes that clear. As […]
Reflecting on Power with instead of Power Over
Pastor Harry's SubstackI have been thinking about power this week, after my conversation with Millard. He told me yesterday that we didn’t get to everything he wanted to discuss last time, so I imagine we’ll be back to this topic soon. Most of us don’t imagine ourselves as powerful. We know powerful people. We know people with […]
Jesus as the Gate. What that is and what it is not.
Pastor Harry's SubstackThe Honest Admission in the Text John 10 is almost funny, if it weren’t so relatable. Jesus has just finished telling this vivid story about a shepherd, a sheepfold, a gatekeeper, thieves who climb the walls, and sheep who know their shepherd’s voice. It is a rich, layered image drawn from the everyday world of […]

Pastor Harry's SubstackIn this episode of Faith in Process, Pastor Harry Jarrett sits down with Millard Driver for a freeform conversation about power, responsibility, and the image of God. The conversation begins with the story behind the podcast itself: a friendship formed through lunch conversations, honest questions, and what Millard calls the gift of having a “soul […]

Finding Hope After Failure
Sermon SummaryLessons from Peter’s Story of Redemption When we experience failure, it often feels like the end of the road. However, the biblical story of Peter’s redemption teaches us that failure can actually be the beginning of something new and transformative. What Can Peter’s Story Teach Us About Failure? Peter experienced what many would consider an […]
Cultivating Trust & Letting Go of Fear
Sermon SummaryTrusting God grows quietly, like a mustard seed turning into a sheltering tree. Discover how releasing fear can deepen your faith this Lent.
Living a Life of Respect in a Disrespectful World
Sermon SummaryRespect is the foundation of every strong and healthy relationship. Whether in our families, friendships, workplaces, or church, how we treat one another reflects our values and, ultimately, our faith. It is an expression of love. When we respect others, we create trust, encourage open communication, and foster unity. Disrespect, on the other hand, leads […]

Yet, as believers, we are not defined by our limitations but by […]
