When God Is Your Audience

You live differently when you know someone is watching. In this message from Genesis 39, Pastor Spencer Harmon shows how Joseph's life is transformed by living before God's audience. Three impacts emerge: grounding your success in stewardship rather than pride; unmasking temptation by showing sin as rebellion against God; and redefining hardship by revealing God as both the audience and the director of your life. For believers in Christ, union with Jesus means the Spirit dwells in you forever—you're never alone in temptation or suffering. What would change in your life if you truly lived before God as your audience?

What To Do With Secret Sin

Secret sin destroys you, but Jesus offers redemption. In this message from Genesis 38, Pastor Spencer Harmon reveals three ways to deal with secret sin through Judah's story: consider your trajectory because sin moves you downward in an unstoppable direction; recognize your hypocrisy because secret sin causes you to judge others for sins you're hiding; and prioritize your integrity by bringing sin into the light and repenting. When Judah confesses, "She is more righteous than I am," his repentance leads to Perez, who enters the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ. Jesus came to forgive all secret sins brought into the light through repentance and faith.

The Symptoms of Jealousy

Most of us have a low-grade spiritual fever called jealousy. In this convicting message from Genesis 37, Pastor Spencer Harmon exposes jealousy's three devastating effects: it starts with disordered desire in areas of your greatest longings, corrupting your moral discernment as Joseph's brothers escalate from hatred to murder to slavery; it leads to unexpected destruction not just of others but of your own family—the brothers lie to their father for 20 years, destroying their relationship; and the remedy is Jesus Christ, the ultimate Joseph figure whose jealous enemies handed Him to death, yet God raised Him to reign and pour blessings on all nations, satisfying our souls so we can rejoice with those who rejoice.

Responding to Sexual Abuse

In this sermon from Genesis 34, the message confronts the dark realities of sexual abuse, sin, vengeance, and human failure with honesty and biblical clarity. The passage shows how unchecked passion, silence, cowardice, and revenge all deepen brokenness rather than bring healing or justice. Through four resolutions, the sermon calls believers to pursue purity, confession, courageous action, and true justice within the church and in personal life. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus Christ as the only true source of cleansing, healing, forgiveness, and restoration for both victims and sinners alike.

God's Gift to Moms

What does God truly value in mothers? In this Mother's Day message from Proverbs 31:30, Pastor Spencer Harmon addresses three groups—older moms reflecting on former seasons, current moms in peak motherhood status, and future moms envisioning their calling—revealing three features of freedom God offers: freedom from people pleasing by escaping the deceitfulness of charm and the enslaving chain of living for others' approval; freedom from shallow beauty that fades; and freedom from crippling fear through hoping in God. From social media stories to gardenia bush roots, discover that God's ultimate gift to mothers isn't simply freedom—it's himself.
