Harmony Church

Jared Reason unpacks what meditation looks like for us as believers and the importance of 'chewing' on the Word of God.

Josh Ainsworth speaks on how we are created to have a “main thing” in our life and what it looks like when that main thing is not God and why we are created for that “main thing” to be God.

Gideon shares that when God’s love is the centre of our lives the ripple effect is life, goodness and freedom. The first church in Acts 2 was filled with pure love after Pentecost which deeply affecting their relationship with God, with each other, and with their community. Love is always self-giving resulting in passionate worship to God, intimate friendships, healing and miracles, salvations, and sacrificial generosity to others.

Guest Speaker Rob Rufus.

Guest speaker Chad Mansbridge speaks on the life of Moses and the women who saved him and influenced him and made the events of his life possible.

When we build our lives on Jesus Christ, we will not fall in the storms of life. We are all builders and God desires our lives to bless and build up other people. We are coworkers with God and His cultivated garden, the house He is building. He is growing us into “Gardens of Love” built on the unshakable love of God producing lushes fruit. Our lives are anchored in the Fathers Love, built on Christ the Solid Rock, and established in the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Gideon shares how love is the essence of God and that this same love has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. There is no sin in perfect love and it fulfils the entire Law. It’s important to live our lives from this perfect love planted inside of us. The world will know us by our love and God has called us to be a community of lovers who love life and love others. This brings encouragement, healing and hope to the people around us.

Andrew Nye shares his testimony of how he came to know God as his father.

Joshua Ainsworth speaks on what it looks like to partner with your local church in a way that is in line with God's will.

On Good Friday Jesus died for our sins to make us righteous, holy and innocent forever, but on Resurrection Sunday He made us alive with Him into New Life! The goal of Easter was not only a name change, but a nature change from the inside out as we are born again into the God life itself.

Guest Speaker David Balestri from our Marketplace Ministry conference.

David Moot speaks on the power of Intercession. This topic is often mis-understood and mis-represented, this morning the truth of what it means to be an Intercessor is explored. This message not only outlines the historic importance of intercession but also hears the cry of heaven calling each of us into our priestly calling as prayer warriors. Duty becomes desire, discipline becomes passion as the message goes deep into the heart of prayer.

We have an opportunity in this life to partner with the same substance of faith that is in heaven right now. And when we do decide to partner with faith, our lives are redeemed and our stories are re written because faith gives us access to new life in Jesus Christ.

Nothing moves without prayer! Gideon talks about the power of prayer to release the purposes of God in our world. The fervent, passionate & persistent prayers of the believer have tremendous power & will accomplish much. Elijah is an excellent example of this. Every time we pray & connect with God something is released between heaven & earth. Then our lives and others’ lives are enriched with the riches of another world. Prayer forges us into the future that God has destined for us…

Joshua Ainsworth speaks on what it looks like to partner with the supernaturally creative force of hope that has the ability to turn nothing into something, and something of little value into something of high value.

Gideon teaches that when we live from an intimate relationship with God through worship & prayer, then we will know & live our purpose in life. In the same way that Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing, we too are released into our purpose with empowerment through daily communion with the Holy Spirit.

Joshua Ainsworth speaks on how the substance of love that Paul speaks about in 1 Corinthians 13 is actually the substance of the person Jesus and that as we partner with this love we don’t just hold a divine tool in our hands but we take hold of His hand.

Pastor Gideon shares at our 10th Anniversary celebration that we will flourish in life when we are planted in God’s house.

Pastors Gideon and Catherine share about our 10 year journey and how we will flourish when we are planted in God’s house.

Pastor Gideon talks on the power of prayer and God’s intent to see an awakening in our lives, city and nation! He shares a prophetic word that Chuck Pierce (USA) spoke in Israel for New Zealand. It's time for a new generation to arise who will passionately pursue intimacy with Jesus. A generation marked by prayer, praise, prophecy and proclamation. A generation empowered by the Holy Spirit to see a mighty outpouring in New Zealand.  

Pastor Gideon shares about the power of prayer to see God’s kingdom released in our lives, city and nation! Prayer is our first priority as we build intimacy with Jesus. From that place of presence we are filled with power and purpose to see God’s kingdom released in and through our lives. God is raising up a generation who are marked by prayer, praise, prophecy and proclamation; a generation empowered by the Holy Spirit to see a mighty outpouring in New Zealand.

Pastor Gideon teaches in the morning service, that the most important habit to establish in our lives is a lifestyle of prayer and worship. Everything else in life flows out of that close relationship with God. 

Pastor Gideon teaches that abiding in Christ will produce a fruitful lifestyle of healthy habits that bring life into our world. Healthy habits are formed when we move from mere motivation or inspiration, to a commitment of making good choices every day. Our character is formed by our daily habits, and good habits will give us a great life and destiny.

Pastor Catherine's message in part 2 on being established. There are many misbeliefs and misconceptions that we can listen to. How do we know how to believe right so we can be established in God?

Paul on the road to DamascusWhat does Paul see when he is blinded for 3 days? Discover how striving turns to surrender and the keys to living victoriously even when circumstances would suggest otherwise. God is taking his people to a much deeper revelation of Himself, the Word and the truth of what it means to follow Jesus in the last days. The heart of heaven is revealed and God uses Paul to touch the world, but before he does he uses Ananiasto touch Paul.

Pastor Gideon and Catherine share the vision of our new theme for 2019 of “Being Established”. This is part 1 in the series

Becoming established can look like a lot of different things. This year, what would it look like for you to become rooted and established in God? Jesus is the only firm foundation that is worth building on. Pastor Catherine introduces the theme for 2019. ‘Being established’.

Jared draws our focus to the importance of exercising empathy in a self-absorbed culture and unpacks some deeply empowering truths.

Vision is the bridge between your present situation and your future purposes in Christ. What does it look like to partner with that vision and to grow into who God has called you to be.

Pastor Gideon talks about living a life of no compromise! We can never compromise our view of God, our identity in Christ, and our passion for the lost. 

Pastor Catherine dives into the past year as we celebrate some significant things that God has done through Harmony over the past year. One of the significant events, was the addition of a night service!! God has been very faithful this year and its great to be able to spend a weekend to testify of his goodness!

Jared Reason speaks about finding your foundation

Guest speaker Rob Walsh shares his knowledge of creation and how the world was made

Josh Ainsworth - Jesus values encouraging, strengthening, and comforting his disciples but he also sent the out with a purpose to share the gospel. We each have a purpose in the areas God has placed us in because we have been sent with a mission.

Pastor Gideon Hoekendijk speaks on what its like to live in a culture of honour

Pastor Gideon Hoekendijk teaches on the second half of Romans 11, highlighting the relationship between Israel and the Church and the End Time Harvest

Josh Ainsworth - The apostle Paul encouraged each of us to eagerly pursue the gift of prophecy and I believe it is because the gift of prophecy goes after one of the biggest lies we all have to work through at some point. Am I enough? Prophecy summed up says Christ has made you more than enough in every way!

Katherine Ruonala is the Senior pastor of Glory City Church in Brisbane (Aus) and leads the Australian Prophetic Council

Pastor Gideon Hoekendijk shares about his recent trip to Israel and teaches on Romans 11, highlighting the relationship between Israel and the Church, and the heresy of Replacement Theology

Anne Redepenning - Annes personal story of walking through depression with God and the beginning of healing process with practical tips for breaking free from shame, isolation, and hopelessness.

Perrine Williams - The eneny has distracted us with worldly beauty by calling us to conformity and performance, using make up techniques, diet strategies, fitness routines etc. But Godly beauty reflects the heart. The source of all true beauty isnt earthly, its heavenly, its found in hanging out with Jesus. Because Jesus takes our eyes out of ourselves and He becomes all that we want and need

Jared Reason - In the culture we live in, its easy to make a lot of empty promises. When we choose to step out and obey God, life becomes a lot more fulfilling.

Madeline Francis speaks about God's desire for the Church to be leading the reconciliation between Maori and Pakeha.

Shaina Greenwood - The power of thoughts are larger than we think, we all have a desire to live an abundant life, but too often we let our thought life dwell in and with fear. But to have our mind dwelling in the right place, is to live from and with hope. Its a choice we choose to be intentional with our thoughts and the dwelling place of our mind.

Ira Redepenning - God has prepared a rest of his people to live in - but we can miss it and spend our life only one step away from it in a place of lack and anxiety when we use other things to replace the place of Gods peace in our life. But life is so much better in every way when we do walk in His rest.

Murray Brightwell - Our commission is to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth. We know that Jesus defeated the enemy through the cross and His resurrection, so the victory has already been won for us. Our part therefore, is to contend for what is already ours. In the midst of this tension between knowing its been done and bringing it into our reality here on earth, one of the things we need to learn is how to rest in what Jesus has done for us. His Kingdom is one peace.

Jared Reason -There is a big difference between 'knowing' the truth and knowing the truth. How can we stand on who God says we are despite the feeling of being buried by negative circumstances and emotions?

Josh Ainsworth - God desires to move through His people and many times we see His hand move in power. The challenge is can we take our place of responsibly and honour him and others in a way that only outcome is increase of His kingdom.

Gideon Hoekendijk - God has made us just like Him in our born again spirit and in our soul He is changing us into His likeness. It's the satisfaction process of changing from glory to glory as we look more and more like Jesus in every way. Christ wants to be fully formed in us so that we can be fully alive and can lead others in the same freedom. It takes repentance to fully see he Kingdom as we grow in our daily walk to fully express His nature in and through our lives.

Josh Ainsworth - Gods grace has one single purpose and that is to expand His kingdom through salvations, healings, deliverances, and other expressions of heaven invading earth. What does it look like to partner with this pure grace of God?

Gideon Hoekendijk - Our comfort is based of what God has done through the cross of Christ. Ps Gideon teaches two cultural concepts from the Old and New Testament that illustrates how Jesus has won the victory over sin and death, and has eradicated the debt we owed to make us forgiven, blameless, and perfect forever.

Gideon Hoekendijk - God is the God of all compassion and all comfort. Its the goodness of God that leads to repentance and the mission of the Church is to comfort rather than condemn. We comfort those around us with the same comfort we have received from God. And as we wait on the Lord, by wrapping our lives around Jesus as ivy around a tree, we exchange our weakness for His strength. This prepares the way of the Lord in and through our lives as we grow from glory to glory and strength to strength.

Rachel Lelsz - Focusing on the life of Joeph with its many peaks and pits we can see key things that led to his success. How does God view success vs how the world views success, and what can we learn from Joseph at his lowest points in life and how can we be successful in our own Christina walks regardless of our life circumstances.

Josh Ainsworth - What does it look like for each of us to grow into our God given roles as a Father or Mother to those around us, not just in title but in function. Laying our lives down to serve those around us.

Ps Matthew Landsdowne from Bethel Church in Whangarei share with us on the Sunday morning following Sonship conference 2018

Ps Matthew Landsdowne from Bethel Church in Whangarei share with us on the Sunday night following Sonship conference 2018

Ps Gideon Hoekendijk sharing the word at the Sunday Morning service. God has given each person a unique voice in society. As believers everything we do is ministry as unto the Lord. There is no division of sacred and secular, clergy and laity, as we are all called and anointed to the ministry as God’s sons and daughters in our workplace. The role of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers is to equip believers for ministry both in and outside the church. Expressing our unique voice in the world gives God pleasure and praise.  

Matthew Landsdowne from Bethel Church speaks on 'Joy & Delight' at Sonship Conference 2018

Andy Piggott from Bethel Church speaks on 'The Secret Place' at the Saturday morning session of Sonship Conference 2018

Matthew Landsdowne from Bethel Church speaks on 'Hunger'

Andy Piggott from Bethel Church speaks on Coming Home on the first night of Sonship Conference 2018

Guest speaker, Richard Brunton, talks about his best selling book 'The Awesome Power of Blessing'.

Ps Gideon Hoekendijk wraps up the heart for the house series in the 10am service as he shares about how: The early church met daily in the temple courts and in homes to celebrate the Love Feast together. This included a meal, worship, teaching and prayer, and was followed by Communion. These feasts centred around the Love of God in the Finished Work of Christ, and their love for each other. Communion is not about self examination or behaviour, but it’s a declaration of how righteous, holy & pure God has made us in Christ. We were co-crucified, co-buried & co-raised with Christ, and are seated with him in heavenly places. This reality of identity empowers every area of our lives with the life and fulness of God.

Gideon Hoekendijk- There is such power in the principle of sowing and reaping. Only when we sow our lives, including our finances, into other peoples lives will we see a mighty harvest of growth and blessing. God is looking for partnership and agreement. He has given us the principles and the seed, and he asks us to sow this seed so it can produce an abundant harvest of blessing, souls saved, and lives changed.

Ps Gideon Hoekendijk Senior Leader at Harmony Church shares a powerful vision for the Church as the hope of the world. As his Church, both individually and corporately, we are the image and reflection of who God is and what he does. Jesus loves the Church and gave his life for it. And in the same way we love His Church, and give our lives to support, equip and care for it. He is the Head and we are his Body, forever connected and devoted to each other.

Part 3 on on our Heart for the House series, Ps Gideon Hoekendijk speaks on: As relational people we were born out of community into community and out of intimacy into intimacy. Jesus came to bring fulness of life to our relationship with God, ourselves and others. The mission of the Church is to bring harmony, health & healing to humanity, as we serve as priests of creation. The Church is the perfect place to find belonging, support, accountability and growth, particularly through smaller life groups.

Ps Catherine Hoekendijk shares at the 6pm service on the significance of The presence of God or the nearness of God is metaphor with two sides. One, our experience of it and the other, God’s expression of it. In this message Catherine encourages us to make this a priority. Everything comes out of an encounter with God. Presence is about Proximity

Ps Gideon teaches on the powerful principle of sowing and reaping. Only when we sow our lives, including our finances, into other people’s lives will see a mighty harvest of growth & blessing. The seed God has given us has to be sown generously in order for it to produce an abundant harvest of souls saved & lives changed.

Join us as Josh Ainsworth our Young Adults pastor shares at the 6pm service. Sharing on doing life in community, being one of the hardest challenges for many because it exposes their maturity or the lack of. But we have been designed for it and it is both a need and a desire of our heart

Ps. Gideon shares a powerful vision for the Church as the hope of the world, As the Church, both individually and corporately, we are the image and reflection of who God is and what He does. Jesus loves the Church and He gave His life for it. And in the same way we love His church, and give our lives to support, equip and care for it. He is the Head and we are His body, forever connected and devoted to each other.

Part 2 of our Heart for the House Series as Ps Gideon Hoekendijk speakers on the topic, that generosity is the language of love and it sits at the core of who we are. Jesus was the most generous person who ever lived and demonstrated this through healing, forgiving, and loving people generously. A generous heart towards God, others and self always releases life and blessings, and forms the foundation of our Christian life.

Our Young adults pastor Josh Ainsworth shares at the 6pm service on how Generosity is a core part of our identity in Christ as God generosity gave His best for us and He invites us to give best in return (1 John 3:16) But what does it actually look like to be generous in our day to day life?

Dr. Kathy Tolleson from America speaks on what it means to be sexually whole from our Sunday morning service

Dr. Kathy Tolleson speaks a powerful message on what it means to be sexually whole from our Sunday Night service

Ps. Gideon shares a powerful vision for the Church as the hope of the world, As the Church, both individually and corporately, we are the image and reflection of who God is and what He does.

Australian pastor- Fini de Gersigny speaks on what it means to 'worship as a lifestyle'.

God reigns through righteousness and so do we. Only a deep revelation of how righteous you are will empower you to say no to ungodliness. The authority we have to live a righteous life comes from knowing who you are with your new identity in Christ. Grace teaches you to say no to ungodliness. This is how you deal with temptation. You say no to ungodliness by saying yes to righteousness!

You say no to ungodliness by saying yes to righteousness!

The gift of a righteous life empowers and transforms us. Who you are will determine how you live. If we change our thinking so that we believe what God says i His Word about who we are and what we have, then there is agreement between our spirit and soul (our new self and our thinking), and then our flesh and circumstances will experience the new life of God that has been deposited i you. When we allow the Mind of Christ in our new spirit renew our natural mind then we will fully access and manifest the Kingdom life.

All healthy long term relationships go through the natural cycle of excitement, disappointment and if you choose to work through that disappointment, then the relationship will grow to a level that models what christlike love looks like. Choosing someone despite their shortcomings.

Ps Gideon teaches through the book of Romans and shows how believers have received a new nature when they were born of God. The old sinful nature was cut away, and new life was given in Jesus. This gift of God's nature is completely holy and pure, with the same righteousness as Jesus. We are just like Him in our new born spirit. This empowers us to live a Godly life that pleases the Lord and gives Him honour.

Ps Catherine speaks on three connections an individual can have - connection with oneself, others, and God.

We look at the forgiveness Jesus has provided for us and how the cross demonstrates God's unconditional love for every person. He defeated sin and evil by laying His own life down and taking our place. All the enemy there at Him was dealt with on the cross and His victory won our freedom. Now we blond to Him, we are called to share the good news of this love with everyone.

There is a lot of teaching around about the Father Heart of God and yet there is also the the 'Mother' heart of God's character that needs to be identified for us to understand Him in fullness and wholeness. The nature of God is not masculine or feminine in the biological sense, but in the spiritual sense of the word as loving, nurturing parent! God describes himself as a mother hen who stretches out her wings to protect and nurture her offspring. He wants us to know His gentle, tender and merciful heart towards us.

We look at the forgiveness Jesus has provided for us and how the cross demonstrates God's unconditional love for every person. He defeated sin and evil by laying down His own life and taking our place. All the enemy threw at Him was dealt with on the cross and His victory won our freedom. Now that we belong to Him we are called to share the Good News of this love with everyone.
