Christians often think the negative or dark emotions are sign of immaturity or a lack of faith. But, in fact, all our emotions reveal our deepest questions about God and our invitations to a greater faith. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-psalms-and-our-negative-emotions http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080511_Intro-ThePsalmsAndOurNegativeEmotions.mp3 Sun, 11 May 2008 11:43:11 CDT Rev. Paul Kim The Psalms and Our Emotions emotions,honesty,psalms,struggle 38:01 Jesus is the center of the Christian faith. But Jesus is only known through the 4 gospels written about him. How do we know they are reliable sources of information? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/can-we-trust-the-gospels http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080504_SinceJesusIsCentralToChristianity....mp3 Sun, 04 May 2008 18:26:02 CDT Rev. Paul Kim Common Questions historical_reliability,gospels,apologetics 36:52 "I believe, help my unbelief!" - What do we do when we believe, yet we are still plagued by doubts? How does Jesus deal with our doubting faith? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/i-dont-buy-that-how-jesus-deals-with-our-doubts http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080427_IDontBuyThat-HowJesusDealsWithOurDoubts.mp3 Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:00:36 CDT Rev. Darin Stone Common Questions doubt,assurance,faith 34:44 It's probably the toughest question we face - intellectually, personally and emotionally as Christians - Why does an all powerful, all loving God permit suffering and evil in this world? There's no easy answer, but we can gain perspective by viewing this question through the lens of the gospel. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/how-can-you-reconcile-suffering-and-evil-with-the-god-of-the-bible http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080420_HowCanYouReconcileSufferingAndEvilWithTheGodOfTheBible.mp3 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:38:22 CDT Rev. Paul Kim Common Questions suffering_and_evil,apologetics,theodicy 40:28 Many people claim that the findings and conclusions of science demonstrate that faith is no longer necessary. Is that a valid claim? Or does that claim spring from a faith commitment that science cannot prove? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/does-science-contradict-christianity http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080413_DoMiraclesInTheBibleContradictScience.mp3 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:25:50 CDT Rev. Paul Kim Common Questions science_and_faith,evolution,miracles 32:08 The exclusive claims of Jesus have been a major stumbling block for those considering Christianity. Is it arrogant for Christians to believe Jesus is the only way to God? Or does everyone and every belief necessarily exclude? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/isnt-christianity-arrogant-for-being-so-exclusive http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080406_IsntChristiantyArrogantForBeingSoExclusive.mp3 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 16:46:57 CDT Rev. Paul Kim Common Questions excusivity,common_questions,apologetics 31:52 What reason do we have for trusting in the Bible? What did Jesus believe about the Bible and how should we approach our own reading of Scripture? If you've ever asked these questions, listen to this sermon for some food for thought. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/can-we-trust-the-bible http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080330_CanTheBibleBeTrusted.mp3 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:11:24 CDT Rev. Darin Stone Common Questions scripture,reliability,common_questions 33:23 What difference does the resurrection make?

Palm Sunday is about the irony of Jesus coming into Jerusalem as the King who will suffer. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-triumphal-entry http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080316_TheTriumphalEntry.mp3 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:25:53 CDT Rev. Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 king,palm_sunday,worship 30:28 Jesus prepared his followers for a time of 'intermission' between his first and final acts of redemption. What are we do to in the meantime? The parable of the ten minas is a call to be about the mission of the king until he returns. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-call-to-mission-in-the-intermission http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080309_TheCallToMissionInTheIntermission.mp3 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 18:21:45 CDT Eric Kapur Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 missional,kingdom_of_god,already_and_not_yet 29:24 Zacchaues' conversion is a picture of God's grace in action. What is grace? And how does it lead to transformation? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/zacchaeus-a-picture-of-gods-saving-grace http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/20080302_Zacchaeus_APictureOfGodsSavingGrace.mp3 Sun, 02 Mar 2008 11:27:29 CST Rev.

Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 money,goodness,religion,rich_young_ruler 37:59 Jesus welcomed the children - was it just a sappy Kodak moment? No, in fact, Jesus welcoming the children teaches us the heart of what it means to approach God and what it looks like to faithfully parent as a follower of Jesus. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-little-children-and-jesus http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/080217_TheLittleChildrenAndJesus_TwoThoughtsFromThisPassage.mp3 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:21:59 CST Rev. Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 parenting,children,humility,child-like_faith 35:24 Jesus' parable strikes at the heart of our relationship with God. Do we approach God with subtle pride, comparing ourselves to others? Or do we recognize our utter need for God's mercy? Listen and be encouraged by how God strips us of our pride so that we might fully entrust ourselves to his grace. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-parable-of-the-pharisee-and-the-tax-collector http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/TheParableOfThePhariseeAndTheTaxCollector-20080210.mp3 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 10:46:53 CST Rev.

Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 kingdom_of_god,judgment,already_and_not_yet 38:11 What place does gratitude have in the Christian life? The story of the ten lepers seems to suggest that if we're without gratitude than we don't get the gospel. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-ten-lepers Sun, 27 Jan 2008 10:48:40 CST Rev. Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 motivation_for_gospel_obedience,thankfulness,gratitude What does it look like to follow Jesus? When we honestly ask that question, Jesus challenges us with statements that wake us up and cause us to realize the seriousness of sin and the depth of the gospel. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/jesus-teaching-on-discipleship http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/JesusTeachingOnDiscipleship-20080120.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 16:53:55 CST Rev.

Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 eternity,judgment,wealth_and_poverty 30:06 How should we evaluate our lives in light of God's values? The parable of the shrewd manager offers us a way to look at our lives through God's eyes. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/the-shrewd-manager http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/TheShrewdManager-20080106.mp3 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 11:43:46 CST Eric Kapur Gospel of Luke - Winter 2008 stewardship,justification,reflection,god's_values 32:56 How does justification by faith transform our lives? Listen to see how Paul put grace at the very heart of our relationship with God and what this means about our daily lives. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/counted-righteous-with-christ http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/CountedRighteousWithChrist-20071230.mp3 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 11:28:10 CST Rev.

Paul Kim Advent 2007 advent,responding_to_christ,magi 34:48 Where is God in a world of unrighteousness and injustice? He came. Jesus came to address that core question by establishing a kingdom of justice and righteousness. In fact his is 'the Lord our righteousness'. The gospel tells us he gives his name to his people. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/christmas-and-the-just-and-righteous-king http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/ChristmasAndTheJustAndRighteousKing-20071216.mp3 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:13:24 CST Eric Kapur Advent 2007 justice,righteousness,jesus_as_king,injustice,name 27:25 Why do we laugh? Is it out of cynicism or wonder? Abraham and Sarah were surprised by the laughter of wonder when God fulfilled his promise to them. Christmas calls us to laugh at the wonderful way God fulfilled his gospel promises to us. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/christmas-and-laughter http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/ChristmasAndLaughter-20071209.mp3 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 13:00:27 CST Rev.

Paul Kim Harbor's Core Values 31:33 Paul's final words in the letter to the Colossians show us the power of biblical community.
