Sun, 24 August 2008  Sunday, August 24, 2008Message by: Ken Harvey, Sr. Pastor "We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure." Leo F. Buscaglia This weekend we will look at the failures of Peter and how the Lord turned those failures into opportunities to learn and be used by God in powerful ways later on in his life. Comments[0] |
Sun, 17 August 2008  Sunday, August 17, 2008Message by Pastor Ken Harvey Does the government exist to serve the demands of the majority? Or does the government exist to protect the rights of the minority? Either way, a leader that succumbs solely to the voices of public opinion becomes imprisoned to pleasing the people instead of leading the people. The story of Pharaoh and Joseph illustrates the values of a leader who had the courage to ignore the complaints of the overindulged and do what was right. Granted, political leaders have issues that come across their desks every day. But how much more effective would their leadership be if they led with the future in mind, rather than responding to the demands of public opinion? In other words: lead us, don’t try to please us.

Sun, 10 August 2008  Sunday, August 10, 2008 All leaders have some level of authority. They have the authority to make important decisions. They have the authority to assign others to a particular task. But not all leaders have influence. Not all leaders live with their words in alignment with their actions. In other words, leaders may have positional authority, but no moral authority. That raises the questions: Is authority more important than influence? Are you a leader because of your influence or your authority? Comments[0] |
Sun, 3 August 2008  Sunday, August 3, 2008Message by: Sr. Pastor, Ken Harvey Everyone seems to have an answer about how to improve the country. As the political landscape grows increasingly impassioned during this election season, there is no shortage of opinions as to how the next President should lead. What if you were given the opportunity to be one of the President's closest advisors? What if you were given the opportunity to influence the perspective of the leadership of a country? An organization? A family? What would you advise? Comments[0] |
