Jesus Saves...the Party

Send us Fan MailWhat if Jesus was bad at starting a religion because he was never trying to build a machine?In this sermon, Pastor Dan Minor reminds us that Jesus did not come with a five-year plan, a brand strategy, a headquarters, or a hustle-culture blueprint. He came with twelve friends. He came with dinners, stories, weddings, walks, children, bread, wine, and the unhurried work of connection.At Harvest Sarasota, we are not trying to build a church that runs people over in the name of results. We are trying to follow the way of Jesus, where belonging comes before mission, connection comes before service, and people matter more than efficiency.Because things can grow and still be unhealthy. Things can work and still wound people. Things can look impressive and still have nothing to do with Christ.The kingdom of God is not a machine. It is a table. It is a community. It is the slow, sacred work of being with God and with one another.#HarvestSarasota #PastorDanMinor #ProgressiveChristianity #ProgressiveFaith #InclusiveChurch #JesusSavesTheParty #ConnectionBeforeMission #PeopleOverResults #TheWayOfJesus #FaithCommunity #BelongingBeforeBelieving #ChurchIsNotAMachine #EfficiencyIsNotFaithfulness #JesusAndCommunity #TableNotMachine #SlowFaith #SpiritualCommunity #SarasotaChurch Just Be True ~ A Soul-Led PodcastJust Be True is a podcast about spiritual awakening, self-discovery, and real...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative
