Episode Description

Core Value #2 - Come As You Are: God wants every person to come as they are to Him and His Church, where they can find forgiveness, eternal life, and life to the full through Jesus.

God wants us to come as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way. Just because God receives us as we are does not mean there isn’t a standard that He calls us to live out. "Come As You Are" is not an excuse to stay who have been. It’s also not an excuse to reject people who are not living up to it, because God loves everyone unconditionally, as should we. Watch to see how if we believe in the right things but respond to people in the wrong way, then what we believe won’t matter.

The Harbor of Doubt by Frank Williams Loyal Books Young Code Schofield had lost his schooner May Schofield in an Atlantic gale a few months ago, and now the townspeople on the small island of Grande Mignon off the coast of New Brunswick were beginning to talk suspiciously of the events surrounding that loss. Insurance investigators have been summoned to investigate, friends are alienating themselves from Code, and he finds himsef challenged by even those he's known and trusted his whole life. Does Code Schofield have anything to prove, and if so, to whom, and why? The Harbor by Ernest Poole Loyal Books The Harbor was written in 1915 by Ernest Poole. The novel is considered by many to be one of Poole’s best efforts even though his book, The Family won a Pulitzer Prize. The Harbor is a fictional account of life on a Brooklyn waterfront through the eyes of Billy as he is growing up. The novel starts with Billy the child, living on the harbor with his father, mother, and sister, Sue. During this time he also meets Eleanor who, at that time, he considers to be strange. She later becomes an important character in the novel. His father owns a shipping business, is hard-working, and can think of little else. As a young man, Billy begins to detest the harbor and longs for escape to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a writer and avoiding his father’s business. With his mother’s blessing, he takes flight to Paris to hone his trade. While in Paris, he meets Joe Kramer (J.K.) and a sometimes stormy relationship begins. J.K. forces him to confront human situations that Billy would prefer to cl HarborWC HarborWC You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ to do good works! We’ll help you discover the life of high adventure when you surrender all to Jesus. Stepping into an unfamiliar place for the first time can be a little intimidating and maybe even uncomfortable for some people – especially when it’s a church. We get that, and have prepared our weekend services to be enjoyable and hassle-free. When you visit The Harbor, you can expect to feel welcomed and accepted from the moment you drive onto the property. You’ll be warmly greeted/directed to our welcome area and treated to some fresh coffee (it is Sunday morning, after all). While there, you’ll probably notice people from all different backgrounds and walks of life – maybe even some people you know. While in the lobby or the auditorium, volunteers will always be close-by to answer any questions and make you feel welcome any way they can. If you’ve got kids, you can check them in at one of our Kids Check-In stations, where dedicated vol Java Head by Joseph Hergesheimer Loyal Books Java Head is a novel of the American merchant marine at the beginning of the great clipper ship era. It is laid in Salem, when that city was still a port rich with the traffic of the East Indies; a story of choleric ship masters, charming girls, and an aristocratic Manchu woman in carmine and jades and crusted gold. There is a drama as secret and poisonous as opium, lovely old gardens with lilac trees and green lattices, and elm-shaded streets ending at the harbor with the brigs unloading ivory from Africa and the ships crowding on their topsails for Canton. It is a romantic novel-and yet true-rather than a study of drab manners; there is no purpose in it other than the pleasure to be found in the spectacle of life supported by high courage and made beautiful by women in peacock shawls. (From the back cover of the 1919 edition)
