Haven Community Church Podcasts

Church isn’t meant to be a place we simply attend. We’re created to connect, to contribute, and to grow. This series invites people to put down roots & plant their lives firmly in community, embrace the difference they can make, and awaken the spiritual strength God has already planted within them. So, join us for the message series, "I'm IN..."

Have you ever gone to bed and later you end up somewhere else and don’t know how you ended up there? You must have been sleepwalking. In life and faith, have you ever blinked and wondered how you got to where you are—both physically and in your daily routine? It starts innocently enough. Before we know it, we find ourselves sleepwalking through our relationships, our priorities, and our faith on autopilot. Drifting never happens all at once; it’s a gradual slip until we suddenly realize we are somewhere we never intended to be. Join us for our new message, Wake Up: Don’t Sleepwalk in Your Faith, as we learn how to break the cycle of sleepwalking and step back into fully engaged living.

A lot of people call themselves Christians—about a third of the world. But wearing the name and actually following Jesus aren’t always the same thing. It’s easy to slip into a version of faith that looks good on the outside but doesn’t really change us. This series is an invitation to be honest about where our faith might be getting watered down. Each week, we’ll look at a different way that happens and explore how we can move from a surface-level Christianity to a deeper, transformed life with Jesus.

God doesn't care what style of music we sing – hymns or praise and worship music – as long as we “lift His Name on High” and praise Him for his greatness. Songs are a vital part of worship: Singing allows believers to express their love and devotion to God Music unites us – it’s kinda like our preparation for heaven -  All of us singing together. Songs can provide comfort and healing, reminding people of God’s unwavering love and support Songs can provide Joy and laughter – to boost our moods Many songs are actual Bible verses – they reinforce God’s teachings. Thought it might be fun to look at some old Sunday School Songs. These songs are timeless – if you look at the words – we can learn how to live a life for Jesus.

Join us as we celebrate Pastor Jack Cohen’s 30 years of faithful ministry. Through music, testimonies, stories, and special presentations, we’ll look back at God’s faithfulness, the lives that have been impacted, and the incredible journey of one man who faithfully answered God’s call. We invite you to celebrate with us and give thanks for all that God has done.

Life can wear you down. Seasons shift, dreams stall, and sometimes it feels like you’re stuck watching everyone else move forward while you’re standing still. But what if God isn’t calling you to stay stuck or even just to survive? What if He’s inviting you to ElishaBrate Life?  In this series, we’ll walk through the life of Elisha, a man who learned how to follow God through fire, famine, frustration, and faith. His journey shows us what happens when we stop clinging to comfort and start chasing calling—when we burn the plow, dig the ditches, pour the oil, and trust God to make the axe head float.  Because life isn’t meant to be endured, it’s meant to be celebrated. Not just getting through it, but living it with purpose, power, and joy.

A Celebration of Life for one of our beloved and dedicated members, Emily Hewitt, will be held after our service on Sunday, June 14th.

Most of us like our prayers safe, predictable, polite, and comfortable. But what if God’s greatest work begins when our prayers stop playing it safe? Prayangerous is about learning to talk to God with bold honesty and open, hearts, and open hands. It’s about asking Him to search us, send us, make us, and even break us—even when it’s uncomfortable. These are the prayers that stretch our faith, shake our routines, and cause strengthen us. “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts” (Psalm 139:23). When we pray dangerously, we stop asking God to fit into our plans and start asking Him to change us from the inside out.

There are moments in Scripture when God takes something small, ordinary, or overlooked and turns it into something overflowing with His power, and Pentecost is one of those moments. It’s the day when heaven stirred the pot of human weakness and fear and produced something no one expected: courage, unity, fire, and a movement that would change the world. And to understand the beauty of that moment, it helps to begin with a simple old story — a story about a pot, a stone, and a village that discovered what happens when everyone brings what they have. Because Pentecost is not just about wind and fire; it’s about what God does when His people show up with obedience, unity, hunger, and expectation.  This week we will look at what God does with Wind, Fire & Soup Pots

You know that messy mix of joy, grief, anger, and everything in between? That’s not a problem to hide or a weakness to fix, it’s part of how God wired us to notice what matters. Over the next few weeks, we’ll talk honestly about the emotions we love and the ones we would rather avoid, learn how to name them without shame, and discover practical ways to let God use those feelings to shape us. Bring whatever you’re feeling, the good, the confusing, the painful, and let’s sit with it together, trusting that God meets us right where our hearts are.

This Easter, step inside the story of the resurrection in a way that changes how you see everything. In Tomb With a View, we explore how the empty tomb offers more than a historical moment—it offers a fresh start, a new clarity about life, a renewed confidence about the future, and a life‑giving connection with God. Through the perspectives of Peter and John, we discover that the resurrection isn’t just something to celebrate; it’s a lens through which we can live. Come experience the hope, mercy, and power that only the risen Christ can give.

We hope you can join us for our Good Friday Service  tonight at 7:00pm. As in years past, we will have singing, scripture, communion and nailing palm branches to the cross.

“I Love My Church” is a new sermon series beginning on February 15th, the day after Valentine’s Day, the holiday that turns our attention to expressions of affection. With that in mind, we know the New Testament reminds us the Church is referred to as the Bride of Christ, and He loved & cherished the church so deeply that He gave His life for her. For 18 years, Haven Community Church has experienced God’s blessing as we’ve served, worshiped, and grown together, always striving to become the kind of church Jesus delights in. In reality, the Church is not about buildings, programs, or labels; it is a family of believers who commit to loving God, doing life together, and helping one another live out God’s purposes. So, as we celebrate our 18th anniversary, we’re asking a simple but meaningful question: What makes the church the church— one that Jesus loves, and one that I can honestly say I love too?
