In Part 2 of Pastor Dan Harrison’s Shepherd King David Series, “Worship Warrior,” we look at 1 Samuel 16:14–23 and see how David’s worship was more than music — it carried the presence of God into dark places. When Saul was tormented, David’s Spirit-led worship refreshed him, changed the atmosphere, and pushed back darkness.

This message challenges us to see worship not as a warm-up to the sermon, but as a powerful declaration of God’s authority. Through the life of David, the Psalms, and the worship of God’s people, we are reminded that praise is not passive — it is spiritual participation. When God’s people worship together, we declare His victory, invite His presence, and shift our hearts toward His truth.

Lean in to today’s message and ask God to speak to you through Pastor Dan’s teaching. Today’s takeaway: don’t just observe worship — participate in it. Lift your voice, raise your expectation, and declare that God’s authority is greater than every darkness you face.

In Part 1 of the Shepherd King David Series, Pastor Dan Harrison begins the journey through the life and Psalms of David with a message titled “Shepherd.” Through 1 Samuel 16, Psalm 23, and the story of Ruth and Naomi, we are reminded that God often does His greatest work in hidden places long before anyone else notices.

Before David became a king, giant killer, or worship leader, he was simply a shepherd faithfully caring for sheep in the fields. While others looked at outward appearance and status, God saw David’s heart. This message explores how faithfulness in ordinary seasons prepares us for God’s greater purposes and how the Lord honors those who serve Him with a pure heart.

Pastor Dan also unpacks the emotional depth of the Psalms, showing that David was not a flawless hero, but a real and broken human being who poured every emotion before God — grief, anger, worship, fear, hope, and joy. Through David’s story and Naomi’s restoration in the book of Ruth, this message speaks hope to anyone walking through grief, disappointment, shame, or feelings of insignificance.

If you feel unseen, forgotten, or stuck in an unglamorous season of life, this message is a reminder that God sees your faithfulness. Nothing done for the Lord is insignificant, and the same God who called David from the shepherd’s field is still calling people today.

Lean in to today’s message and ask God to speak to your heart through Pastor Dan’s teaching. Today’s challenge: be faithful with the “sheep” God has placed in front of you. Whether it’s your family, your workplace, your ministry, or your current season of life, trust that God sees your heart and is preparing you for His purpose.

In the conclusion of Pastor Dan Harrison’s 2-part sermon series, Kingdom Investment, we look at one of the most powerful examples of biblical stewardship and surrender—the widow’s offering in Mark 12:41–44.

This message is not about whether the church has your wallet. It is about a much deeper question: Does God have your heart?

Pastor Dan unpacks how Jesus pointed His disciples to a poor widow who gave two small coins—not because the amount was impressive, but because her heart was fully surrendered to God. While others gave out of abundance, she gave from a place of trust, sacrifice, and worship.

This sermon also connects the widow’s offering to the generosity of the early church in Acts 2 and Acts 4, showing us that Spirit-filled believers are called to live with open hands, Kingdom priorities, and a heart that says, “God, everything I have belongs to You.”

In this message, you’ll be challenged to consider:

• Does God have my heart?

• Am I giving for recognition or worship?

• Do I trust God with my finances, my time, and my life?

• What would it look like to live with open hands?

• How does generosity reflect the work of the Holy Spirit?

This message reminds us that Kingdom investment is not just about money—it is about surrendering our whole life to God.

As you listen today, lean in and ask God to speak clearly to your heart. Invite the Holy Spirit to show you what areas of your life you may still be holding tightly.

👉 Takeaway Challenge:

Take your next paycheck, your calendar, your resources, and your plans before the Lord and pray: “God, this is Yours. Show me what You want me to do with it.”

In the opening message of the Kingdom Investment series, Pastor Dan Harrison addresses one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood topics in the church—money—through the lens of trust, surrender, and the heart.

Drawing from Matthew 6:19–34 and Matthew 9:9, this powerful message explores what Jesus really meant when He said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Rather than using guilt or manipulation, Pastor Dan points us back to the words of Jesus—challenging us to evaluate not just what we say we believe, but how our lives (and our finances) reflect it.

This message dives deep into:

• The difference between serving God vs. serving money (mammon)

• How financial anxiety impacts our faith and decision-making

• Why generosity is connected to peace and reduced stress

• What it truly means to seek first the Kingdom of God

• The powerful example of Matthew leaving everything behind to follow Jesus

Through honest personal testimony and biblical truth, Pastor Dan reminds us that God is not after our money—He’s after our heart. When we trust Him fully, even in uncertain economic times, we begin to experience His provision, peace, and purpose in a deeper way.

🔥 Lean In + Takeaway

As you listen today, lean in and ask God to speak directly to your heart. Don’t just hear the message—let the Holy Spirit challenge and transform you.

👉 Takeaway Challenge:

Ask yourself: “What does my spending reveal about what I truly value?”

Then take one step of faith this week—whether it’s an act of generosity, trust, or surrender—and watch how God begins to shift your perspective and your peace.

What happens when “my truth” collides with the truth?

In Part 2 of the series “What is Truth?”, Pastor Dan unpacks Jesus’ words in John 13:36–14:11 and challenges one of the most common ideas in today’s culture: the belief that our personal truth is enough. While our experiences matter and should be heard, our own perspective is not the final standard of reality. True truth is not found in our feelings, opinions, or self-perception—it is found in Jesus Christ.

Using Peter’s confidence, Thomas’s confusion, and Jesus’ powerful declaration, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” this message reminds us that our own understanding must be surrendered to the One who is truth itself.

Pastor Dan explores how:

• Our personal truth can be distorted by pride, fear, insecurity, and culture

• Jesus sees through our self-confidence and calls us to humility

• God’s promises anchor us in difficulty, anxiety, and uncertainty

• Jesus is not just a source of truth—He is the Truth

• Real life, hope, and eternal security are found only in Him

This message is a needed reminder for anyone wrestling with confusion, fear, identity, pressure, or the temptation to define truth on their own terms.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your circumstances or unsure what to believe, this sermon points you back to the One who never changes.

In a world where truth often feels subjective and increasingly difficult to recognize, how can we know what is real?

In Part 1 of the new series “What is Truth?”, Pastor Dan explores the powerful encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4. In this story, Jesus reveals that truth is not merely an idea or philosophy—it is found in a person. Through this conversation, we see how Jesus brings hidden things into the light, restores broken identity, and reveals the transforming love of the Father.

This message reminds us that truth does more than inform our minds. True truth—found in Jesus—changes our hearts, exposes what is hidden, and redefines who we are as children of God.

If you have ever wrestled with questions about identity, shame, or what it means to truly know God, this message will encourage you to encounter the One who is the source of all truth.

Truths from this message

• The truth is found in Jesus.

• Truth does not just educate the mind—it redefines our identity.

Join us as we begin this journey toward Easter exploring one of life’s most important questions: What is truth?

Golden Calf Reckoning – Part 3: My Kingdom

Pastor Dan Harrison | Main Text: 2 Kings 10:28–36

In the final message of the Golden Calf Reckoning sermon series, Pastor Dan Harrison brings us to 2 Kings 10:28–36 and asks a piercing question: Who is truly on the throne of your heart—God, or you?

Pastor Dan unpacks the story of Jehu, a king anointed by God and used to bring judgment against Baal worship and the house of Ahab. Jehu started strong—he did what God asked and experienced victory. But the tragedy of his story is this: he wiped out Baal, yet he refused to turn from the golden calves of Jeroboam. Scripture says Jehu “was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord with all his heart.” In other words, he removed one false god while protecting the idols that served his own “kingdom.”

This message exposes how modern idolatry often hides behind spiritual language and religious activity. Pastor Dan highlights several ways golden-calf tendencies still show up today:

• The pursuit of power and the temptation to misuse authority

• The priority of pleasure—chasing temporary fixes instead of lasting joy in Jesus

• Appropriating the Almighty—putting Jesus’ name on what we simply want to do

At the heart of it all is a simple reality: it’s possible to be used by God and still keep areas of your life under your own rule. That’s why this sermon is titled “My Kingdom.” It’s a call to surrender—removing ourselves from the throne and letting Christ be King in every part of our lives.

Pastor Dan closes with a powerful prayer and declaration:

“Christ be magnified… from the altar of my life.”

Because the kind of church that truly changes the world isn’t built on personalities, programs, or power—it’s built on people who choose to magnify Jesus.

As you listen, don’t just evaluate Jehu—ask God to evaluate you. Invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any place where your desires, your appetite, your need for control, or your need to be right has taken the throne.

Takeaway Challenge:

This week, pray daily: “Jesus, show me where I’m still building ‘my kingdom.’ Take me off the throne. Be King in me.”Then choose one specific habit, attitude, or appetite to surrender—replacing it with obedience and worship.

Golden Calf Reckoning – Part 2: Illusions of Control

Pastor Dan Harrison | Main Text: 1 Kings 12:25–33

In Part 2 of the Golden Calf Reckoning sermon series, Pastor Dan Harrison exposes a modern form of idolatry that often hides in plain sight: the illusion of control.

Teaching from 1 Kings 12:25–33, Pastor Dan walks through the story of Jeroboam, a king who was given a promise by God—yet allowed fear and insecurity to drive his decisions. Instead of trusting God’s Word, Jeroboam tried to control outcomes, control people, and even control worship—creating “convenient” golden calves and a man-made system that replaced obedience with self-protection.

This message confronts three powerful “Golden Calf tendencies” that still show up today:

• Clinging to control over things we were never meant to carry

• Fear-based thinking that rewrites God’s promises

• Victim identity that turns pain into a permanent label and builds walls no one can enter

Pastor Dan also shares a personal, heartfelt illustration about trusting God with what we love most—and invites every listener to surrender what’s out of their control into the hands of a trustworthy Father. If anxiety, control, fear, or emotional walls have been shaping your decisions, this message is a call to freedom, healing, and deeper trust.

Key theme: Modern idolatry doesn’t always look like statues—it can look like grasping for control.

As you listen, don’t just absorb information—lean in. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal where fear has been calling the shots. Ask God to show you what you’ve been gripping too tightly—relationships, outcomes, finances, approval, safety—and place it back into His hands.

Takeaway Challenge:

This week, write two columns: “What I can control” and “What I can’t control.” Then pray through the second list, one item at a time, and surrender it to God. Pray simply: “Father, I trust You.”
