Until we get our point across or until we feel vindicated, we can't rest. We won't be happy Is there another way? The apostle Paul shows there is. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/ill-be-happy-when-im-understood http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/ill-be-happy-when-i-am-understood.mp3 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:02:29 UTC Rev. Paul Kim Philippians - When Will I Be Happy? conflict,misunderstandings,relationships 40:39 Have you ever told yourself - I'll be happy when such and such circumstances change? I think we all have. But should our happiness be dependent upon our circumstances? Is there a kind of happiness - a joy - that can be found in the midst of even life's most challenging times. The apostle Paul said there is. It's called gospel joy. http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/ill-be-happy-when-my-life-circumstances-change http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/i-will-be-happy-when-my-life-circumstances-change.mp3 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:23:47 UTC Rev.

Paul Kim Philippians - When Will I Be Happy? joy,happiness,gospel_joy,philippians,prayer 31:12 God's heart is for the city. Why? Because cities are full of people. The book of Jonah reveals the extent of God's compassion on cities as places of brokenness, injustice and need. Wherever human need, misery abound, God's heart is moved. The book ends with a question - If that is what God is like, what about you and me? http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/sermon/gods-heart-for-the-city http://www.harborcarmelvalley.org/mediafiles/gods-heart-for-the-city.mp3 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:33:04 UTC Rev. Paul Kim Jonah cities,god's_heart_for_the_city,anger,mission 45:17 How does God deal with people who have lived a lifetime in terrible sin? See Nineveh.

Paul Kim Jonah grace,change,transformation,remembering 35:38 Why would God lead us into a raging storm? Could it be that behind the raging storm is a God jealous for our hearts?

Paul Kim Gospel of Luke - Winter 2009 37:31 Why was Jesus "disguised" to 2 of his followers as the walked down the road in confusion and grief?

Paul Kim The Psalms and Our Emotions emotions,honesty,anger,psalms 44:24 The Psalms are a window into the soul in all its complexity and variety. 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 16:43:11 UTC Rev.
