| Masterpiece |
| We are all God's Masterpiece. We were made uniquely and we all have something to add to this world and to God's Kingdom. In this sermon John explains from Ephesians 2:1-10 how God made us, formed us, changed us and prepared us for good deeds. |
| Preached by John Harris on 16 June 2013 (Sermons in English). |
| Under Father's Roof |
| "Not under my roof!" Some of us may have heard our parents say that when we were still teenagers. It sounds negative and limiting. But what are the positives about living under God the Father's roof? And how can we help God the Father make his house a home for many? That's what John Harris is talking about in this sermon based on Psalm 84 and Nehemiah chapters 8 and 9. |

| Heart for the World |
| God sent Jesus on mission with a message that God so loved the world that he sent his Son. In the last of our series, Heatbeat, we see that Jesus had a heart for the world that he passed on to his disciples and all who followed. As followers of Jesus, and as his church, we are sent on mission, with a message that points people to Jesus and is to be shared and lived out in word and deed. |

| Lead Us Not Into Temptation |
| What comes to your mind when we use the term spiritual battle or spiritual warfare? In our last message in the Awakening Series on the Lord's Prayer we take a look at Jesus prayer for protection against temptation and against evil. Using the passage from Ephesians 6 John provides some practical teaching on how to guard against temptation and stand firm against evil. |

| Joy to the World (EN) |
| Jesus and joy go together. Mary responded with joy on learning she would become pregnant with Jesus. The angels announced joyfully that Jesus was born. The shepherds returned to the fields with joy after seeing Jesus. Join John as he looks at one encounter Jesus had with a man who was paralyzed and a hostile crowd of religious leaders which teaches us about joy. In this encounter we see what inspires the Christmas Carol - Joy to the World. This video is in English with Dutch translation. |

| Joy to the World (NL) |
| Jezus en vreugde gaan goed samen. Maria was blij toen ze ontdekte dat ze zwanger was van Jezus. De engelen kondigden vol vreugde de geboorte van Jezus aan. De herders keerden terug naar het land nadat ze Jezus hadden gezien. In deze preek kijkt John naar wat een verhaal over een verlamde man en een ander verhaal over een vijandige menigte van religieuze leiders ons leert over vreugde. Deze verhaalden inspireerden het kerstlied Joy to the World. |

| Restored to be a Restorer |
| The restoration that God wants to do in the world begins with the restoration he wants to do in our lives. Often people try to accomplish the work of God without experiencing the work of God. In today’s message John takes a look at what it means to be restored in order to be a restorer. |
| Preached by John Harris on 18 November 2012 (Sermons in English). |
| The Joy of Giving |
| What does giving actually involve – is it just about money or is it more? What motivates us to give? If we give, what about those who receive? What is God’s part in our giving? Join John Harris as he takes a look at Paul's perspective on giving and see how giving is really a part of living generously as a follower of Jesus. There truly can be joy in giving! |
| Preached by John Harris on 26 August 2012 (Sermons in English). |
| Difference between joy and happiness |
| Our new series at Thousand Hills is called the DNA of Joy, based on the book of Philippians. Today, John kicks off the series. Paul writes to the Philippian church to encourage them in the face of opposition and trials. Yet Paul doesn’t tell the Philippians that being happy is the answer to their problems - instead he tells them to be a people of joy – so what is the difference between joy and happiness? Join John as he explores this topic. |
