We consider it a responsibility to continue to share his great teachings and foundational message of Relational Grace. Visit the Re...
Many years ago Pastor Nick Harris wrote a book that introduced the idea of Relational Grace, hence the name of our podcast. This book features the story of Mepobisheth and touches on the blood covenant and the many types and shadows found in this story. Pastor Harris says it himself, this is the clearest picture of salvation that he could find in the Bible. We thought it would only be fitting to lead off our podcast efforts with this foundational Relational Grace message. For context th...

In this episode Pastor Harris will be introducing the second step of six steps leading towards the great thrown of Solomon.

Pastor Harris also demonstrated that by its very nature, every step has 2 parts, a riser and a tread. The riser always comes first. The risers represent Gods revelation to us and the treads represent the truths in which...
In this series Pastor Harris is attempting to demonstrate that the very highest place to which any believer can attain is to be seated together with Christ on His throne, as Revelation 3:20-21 clearly affirms. The issue is how? The riser of step 2 was, Christ died on that cross. The tread of step 2 was you and I died with Him on the Cross.Now in this episode Pastor Harris gets pretty personal regarding what he calls “The old man” or “a steamer trunk”. As you listen to this m...
Let’s continue the climb today, step by step to the highest place any believer can attain, this is to be seated next to Christ on his throne? How do we do this? We need to take six steps, and the requirements are outlined before us in these teachings. In this message we will learn what it means to be quickened or to be “made alive”. If you have been crucified, if you have died, and if you have been buried, you need to be made alive in order to step up to the very highest place.One small...
Over the last 4 teachings Pastor Harris has been pointing to the fact that the goal of every Christian is to be seated with Christ on His throne. This is where He wants us to be, but what does that mean to be seated with Christ on His throne? How do we get to this place and what does His throne represent?Today we will examine step 5 in our journey to the throne, which is this: Christ was resurrected from the dead. This leads us to today’s teaching entitled: Resurrected with Christ”.Supp...
In this series Pastor Harris has attempted to show us six steps which could lead us to the very highest place a Christian can reach in life, and that place is to be seated together with Christ on His throne according to Revelation 3;20-21. Of course, we all recognize the fact that we are not dealing with physical realities here. When we ascend the six steps, we are not going to find Christ sitting in a great big chair, and He is not going to scoot over as far as He can so that we can sl...

Pastor Harris walks us through the religion to relationship evolution of the lying, maming, torturing, murdering, Paul of Tarsus to Paul the follower of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-14). Salvation is not based on what we do or who we please. Religion says you missed the mark... relationship says you are unconditionally loved because of who you are, a child of God. The number one thing that Pastor Harris always taught was that Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship. This phras...
