Harrington Baptist Church

Harrington Baptist Church A growing community of believers in Jesus Christ growing in faith through hearing and studying God's Word. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction.

We seek to apply what we have learned by loving one another, and proclaiming to the World that the Kingdom of God is at hand. We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy

. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

Have you ever wondered if God is still at work when circumstances seem to be against you?

In Acts 23, Paul finds himself surrounded by opposition, threats, and uncertainty. Yet in the midst of the darkness, the Lord appears to him with a powerful message: “Take courage.” What follows is a remarkable display of God's providence as He protects Paul and advances His purposes despite the schemes of men.

This passage reminds us that God’s plans cannot be thwarted. Even when we face trials, opposition, or unexpected detours, the Lord remains faithful to His promises and sovereign over every detail of our lives.

In this sermon, we will discover:
✨ The comfort of Christ's presence in difficult seasons.
✨ God's providential care for His people.
✨ The courage that comes from trusting God's promises.
✨ Confidence that God's mission will move forward.

Join us as we explore how God strengthens His servants, protects His purposes, and provides courage for the journey ahead.

⚓ The Hope & the Resurrection of the Dead | Acts 22:23–23:10

When life gets stormy — persecution, suffering, uncertainty — what keeps you from drifting? In this message from Acts, Pastor John walks us through one of the most powerful truths in all of Scripture: the Hope of the Resurrection is not a vague wish. It is a sure and steadfast anchor for your soul.

We explore what the Bible really means by "hope" — not the casual, fingers-crossed kind, but a confident, joyful, eager expectation rooted in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. And we'll see how that hope gave Paul the clarity and courage to stand firm in the face of beatings, false charges, and a hostile mob.

📖 Scriptures covered: Acts 22:23–23:10 | Romans 5:1–5 | Hebrews 6:18–20

In this message:
→ Why the resurrection is the root of all resistance to the Gospel
→ What Christian hope actually means (and why it's nothing like the way we use the word every day)
→ How suffering is God's way of showing you just how secure your anchor really is
→ What it looks like to "grab hold of the chain" in your darkest moments

Is the gospel really for everyone—even those we least expect?

In Acts 22, Paul shares his powerful testimony before a hostile crowd, recounting his dramatic encounter with Jesus and the calling placed on his life. Once a persecutor of the church, Paul becomes a living example of God’s transforming grace—proof that no one is beyond the reach of the gospel.

This sermon, “Gospel Message for All,” challenges us to see the heart of God for every person. The message of salvation is not limited by background, status, or past sin—it is extended to all who will hear and believe.

Yet Paul’s testimony also reveals a hard truth: not everyone will receive the message with open hearts. The same gospel that brings life can also provoke resistance.

Join us as we explore the power of a personal testimony, the inclusiveness of the gospel, and our calling to boldly share the good news with all people.

💬 Be encouraged. Be bold. Share the gospel.

What are you holding onto that God is asking you to surrender?

In Acts 21, Paul arrives in Jerusalem with open hands—ready to give, ready to serve, and ultimately ready to suffer for the name of Christ. Despite misunderstanding, false accusations, and rising opposition, Paul demonstrates a powerful picture of humility, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion.

This sermon, “Open Hands & Arms for the Sake of Christ,” invites us to examine our own posture before the Lord. Are we clinging tightly to our rights, our comfort, and our reputation? Or are we willing to live open-handed—embracing whatever God allows for the sake of His mission?

Even in the face of hostility, Paul responds with grace and courage, reminding us that a surrendered life is a powerful testimony to the world.

Join us as we learn what it means to live with open hands, ready to give, and open arms, ready to love—all for the glory of Christ

Acts 21:1–15 - Resolved to Obey the Holy Spirit

What does it look like to follow God—no matter the cost?

In Acts 21, we see the Apostle Paul steadfast in his journey toward Jerusalem, even as warnings and uncertainty surround him. Though others urge caution, Paul remains resolved, trusting the Holy Spirit and embracing God’s will above his own safety and comfort.

This sermon, **“Resolved to Obey the Holy Spirit,”** challenges us to consider our own obedience. Are we willing to follow where God leads, even when the path is difficult or unclear? Do we trust Him enough to surrender our plans for His greater purpose?

Through Paul’s example, we are reminded that true faith is marked by courage, conviction, and complete dependence on the Spirit’s leading.

Join us as we explore what it means to live with unwavering obedience and a heart fully surrendered to God.

💬 Be encouraged. Be challenged. Be resolved to obey.

What does it mean to be truly equipped for a life of service?

In this powerful passage, we hear Paul’s heartfelt farewell to the Ephesian elders—a moment filled with urgency, wisdom, and deep spiritual conviction. As he reflects on his ministry, Paul reveals what it looks like to serve with humility, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to God’s calling.

This message, “Equipping to Serve, Now and Onward,” challenges us to examine our own readiness. Are we prepared to lead with integrity? To endure hardship? To care for others as faithful stewards of God’s truth?

Paul’s words remind us that serving Christ is not just about where we’ve been—but how we move forward. We are called to remain watchful, grounded in the Word, and committed to building others up in faith.

Join us as we explore how God equips His people—not just for a season, but for a lifetime of faithful service.

The Depths of Christian Encouragement.
Acts 20:1-12

in Acts 20, Paul travels from church to church strengthening believers with the hope o Christ and the truth of God's word. Even after trials, danger, and hardship, his mission was clear: encourage the saints.

This message reminds us the true encouragement doesn't come from empty words - it comes from Jesus Christ, our Savior, the Holy Spirit, our Helper. Through Scripture, God renews weary hearts, restores hope and gives strength to keep moving forward in faith.

If you feel worn down, discouraged, or spiritually tired, the answer is not found in the world - it is found in the living Word of God.

Be strengthened today: gather with Gods people, remember Christ sacrifice, and receive the encouragement only God can give.
