Teaching Series
This Spring, we’re exploring the Bible in a new series called Godspell to discover exactly what makes the good news good. Godspell is the old English word for Gospel, and both mean “good news” or “good story.” This series is all about the greatest news ever: Jesus loves us enough to lay down His life for our sins, yet He’s alive today to live inside of us and change us for grace and good.
Over the next weeks, we’re going to explore the Scripture to discover the essence of grace. We’ll talk about what we get wrong and how we can get it right. It turns out we get a lot wrong. Since Jesus’ grace is so good, we’re going to dig in to make sure we get the good news right and know how to share it simply with others.
God is doing something special these days that you don’t want to miss. And your friends truly need to experience what God is doing. Bring someone with you this week at 9:00am or 10:45am. If you can’t make it in person, we’re online at 9:00am and all week.
Can we be honest about something? Pain sucks. You know it. I know it. You never expect a pastor to say it. But I did. Because it does. A reality check – every single person you know is struggling with a pain you likely know nothing about. Pain can be physical, emotional, mental, relational, or even spiritual. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Pain is as unique as our personalities and fingerprints.
So what can we do about it? I want to talk about that over the next weeks in a new series called Pity or Perseverance. We’re talking about how the pains of life present a choice: wallow in self-pity or become stronger by turning to God. From now until Easter, we will explore the Bible to discover how to become stronger while facing pain. Specifically, we’ll unpack 5 choices that make all the difference between pity and perseverance.
Pain is personal to me. If you know my story, you know I suffer from chronic pain in a variety of forms including a headache over the last two and half years that my doctors cannot alleviate no matter what we’ve tried. It’s easy, even natural, to turn to self-pity. Been there, done that. The questions are endless. The solutions always seem a little beyond your grasp. The number one goal when we are in pain: Get out of it. In self-pity and the desire to numb our pain, we feel stuck, wallowing in isolation and self-sufficiency. There has to be a better way to live. There is. I’m not promising I can take away your pain, but I am pointing us to the One who will one day end pain, suffering, sin, grief, and death – forever.
If you come to Harvest this Sunday, I’ll give you
a free copy of a book I wrote about pain and perseverance called
Letters to My Friends in Pain. If you can’t make it to Harvest or would like additional copies for friends, they can be purchased
HERE.
God is doing something special these days that you don’t want to miss. And your friends truly need to experience what God is doing. So, bring someone with you this week at 9:00am or 10:45am. If you can’t make it in person, we’re online at 9:00am and all week.
In the new year, we’re beginning a new series called “This is the Way.” Want to grow in your faith in 2024? If you are interested in becoming the best version of you in the year ahead, this is the way. Jesus’ way of life is the best way to become all you’ve dreamed of being. His way of life is to become our new way of life. But how? What does His way of life look like? And how does that impact how we treat each other in this world? Join us on Sundays at 9:00am or 10:45am as we explore why His way is The Way.
We tend to sanitize the Christmas season. We want everything to be shiny and bright. But that’s not always reality, is it? We’re kicking off Christmas 2023 with a new series called Thrill of Hope: Can a Weary World Still Rejoice? It’s an honest question. There’s a lot of weariness in our world. Not just in our world, but in our hearts. I hardly run into anyone who doesn’t confess to some level of discouragement, fear, anxiety, and/or weariness. And I understand why. I am there myself. It’s ok to not feel like Buddy, the Elf, at Christmas time.
Over the next three Sundays, we’re going to explore the Christmas story to remember why Jesus was born, why we can embrace hope even when we don’t feel hopeful, and how we can choose joy when the world gives us every reason not to. I believe these weeks will speak deeply to whatever is going on in your soul. So bring your neighbors and friends on Sunday at 9:00am or 10:45am as well. And remember, we’re online on YouTube and Facebook at 9:00am and the service is available the rest of the week.
This Fall, we’re beginning a new series called Real ID. How do you define who you are? What are the most important things to understand about yourself? Who do you want to be in 2023? The answer to those questions is important, but the real answer doesn’t start with you. It starts with Jesus. We’ll dig back into the book of Colossians in the New Testament to discover more about who Jesus is and what that means for our daily lives. We want to help you grow in your faith. As always, we’re online at 9:00am on Sunday, and in person at 9:00am and 10:45am. Who do you know that needs to grow in their faith? Reach out to them today and invite them to join you!
We’ve all got questions for God. Truthfully, we’ve all got questions that we’re not sure it’s ok to ask. Starting Easter Sunday, join us at Harvest Community Church where we will ask some difficult if not embarrassing questions to God, and we’ll study the Bible to discover God’s answers to the questions that we are “asking for a friend.”
- Do you really expect me to believe that Easter Can Make a Difference in My Life?
- The Resurrection Seems Too Much Like Nonsense to Be Believable. Do you Really Expect Me to Believe that Jesus Went in Dead and Came Out Alive?
- Why Does Jesus Care Who I Sleep With?
- Life is Painful. I’m Considering Suicide. What Does Jesus Think About That?
- I’ve Got a Lot of Regrets. What am I Supposed to Do with My Regrets?
- If God Won’t Give Me More than I Can Handle, Why Am I Having Trouble Handling What God is Giving?
We’re beginning a new series called Mistaken Identity. How do you define who you are? What are the most important things to understand about yourself? Who do you want to be in 2023? The answer to those questions is important, but the real answer doesn’t start with you. It starts with Jesus. We’ll dig into the book of Colossians in the New Testament to discover more about who Jesus is and what that means for our daily lives. We want to help you grow in your faith and we’re starting the year off strong. As always, we’re online at 9:00am on Sunday, and in person at 9:00am and 10:45am. Who do you know that needs to grow in their faith? Reach out to them today and invite them to join you!
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is here. Christians have celebrated the birth of Christ for 2000 years. Advent has been celebrated for in various forms for centuries as Christians prepare themselves for the coming of Christ. We’re dig into the Christmas stories found in the Bible and, along the way, we will discover the adventure of following Jesus. It’s an adventure of hope, of joy, of peace, and of love. On Christmas Eve, we’ll cap off with a candlelighting that celebrates the birth of the baby born to be our Savior. We meet online at 9:00am and in person at 9:00am and 10:45am and we would love to see you this Sunday!
Expert presentations like TED Talks and MasterClass are all the rage these days. What if we could learn about life from the ultimate Master-Teacher – Jesus himself? This series explores what Jesus says about managing life, love, spiritual growth, and so much more. Join us online at 9:00am or in person at 9:00am and 10:45am as we grow in the Word together this fall.
In this 2.0 version of our Soul Care series, each week we unpack a new way of doing life (think spiritual habits). For messages exploring a new way of being (think heart attitudes), check out the series title simply, Soul Care.
Americans spend billions thinking about how to improve our bodies and insane hours working on our appearance. But what about our souls? How is your soul these days? Really? Experiencing health in our souls requires more than just eliminating some obvious things that don’t belong there. Healthy souls “play offense” by intentionally adding both Jesus’ way of thinking and Jesus’ way of living to our lives. These messages explore some heart attitudes that will create space for more health in your soul.
These are difficult times. Life feels more chaotic than ever. People seem to be on edge all the time. Are we just supposed to survive these times, or are we able to do more than survive? Join us online at 9:00am or in person at 9:00am and 10:45am as we explore the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament to discover how we can live with hope and humility in this difficult season.
In a world where everyone wants to go back to a time before the pandemic, we’re exploring how we can go forward with faith. We’ll dig into Hebrews 12 to talk about developing a faith that never gives up. Every new year is a chance to begin again. Perhaps you’ve set aside your faith more than you would like over the last year and you want to prioritize your faith again? Perhaps you just want your faith to be stronger? Perhaps you want to explore how to begin to have faith at all? This series is for you. Invite someone to participate with you this Sunday. We’re online at 9:00 am & in-person at 9:00 am and 10:45 am!
We are kicking off a new Christmas series called, Do You Hear What I Hear. We’re exploring some of the deeper themes of Christmas in the Christmas texts in Matthew and Luke as well as some well known Christmas Carols.

On Sunday, 9/19/21, we’re celebrating Back to Church Sunday. It has been a busy summer and we want to invite you back to what church is all about. We’ll share a special message that day encouraging us to stay faithful to Jesus and what He is doing. Make plans now to be there online or in person. It will be a Sunday when I know your soul will be encouraged.
On Sunday, we will launch a special outreach campaign to reach out to those we know who are first responders, those we know who serve in the medical community, and those we know who serve in various aspects of our military. It has been a tough year and a half for all of us, but those who serve in these ways have been under tremendous pressure over the last year, and we want to come alongside them as a Christian community to show them that they matter and their service makes a difference. I will share much more on Sunday and I hope you will plan to be there. We’ll talk about other forms of outreach for the fall as well. We’re online at 9:00 am and in person at 9:00 am and 10:45 am. We hope you will plan to be there and bring a friend.
I think we all wish we were better at prayer. Whether you are a seasoned saint or brand new to the faith, there’s room for improvement in your prayer life. We’re exploring the Bible to understand what prayer is, what prayer isn’t, and how we can grow as a church in prayer. Jesus told us to pray and not give up. In this series, we’ll show you how. Join us online on YouTube or Facebook at 9:00 am or in person at 9:00 am or 10:45 am. This entire series is great for inviting others.

We hope you are planning now to join us online on YouTube or Facebook at 9:00 am or in person at 9:00 am or 10:45 am. This entire series is great for inviting others.

We’ll explore the resurrection story in the Gospel of John and walk away with real HOPE. In this crazy year, who doesn’t need more hope?
We’re launching a new series called Welcome Home that will challenge us all to grow in our faith. In addition, you will have the chance through this series to commit or recommit to Harvest as your home church. We will explore all we do to partner with you to help you grow in your faith.

It’s going to be a great season and I don’t want you to miss out!
2021 has arrived! Can you believe it? I’m sure we’re all glad to turn the page and see a new year come. As we start afresh, be encouraged with this special verse. Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Use this verse to begin the year stronger, to seek to become people who are more resilient. We’re going to talk about what it would mean for 2021 to be the year of bouncing back. Let’s invest in our faith this year. As we delve into a new series titled “Stonger,” please invite your friends and family to join along with us Sunday mornings at 9:00 am online.
Simply Jesus. Come hear a simple story that changes everything. We’d love to have you join us online Sundays at 9:00 am. Invite a friend!
Are you tired of the craziness of 2020? Can’t wait for life to “go back to normal.” Unfortunately, we have no idea when or if that will happen. So, let’s talk about how to endure turbulence, and in time, how to rise above it. In the weeks ahead, we will dig into the Bible to think through many of the struggles we are all facing in this season: troubles, difficult decisions, emotional fatigue, grief and discouragement. We will see Jesus’ perspective and will gain new insight into how to endure and rise above the turbulence of 2020. This would be a great time to invite someone to join you. We’re online on Sundays at 9:00 am.

Does life have meaning? Are we here on earth for a reason? Is there a reason that I exist? These are all good questions. The short answer is YES.
Since the answer is yes, wouldn’t it be nice if God were here, with me, to help me discover that purpose and live it out? Wouldn’t it also be nice if God would give me what I need to live that purpose? Guess what, He has! Join us at 9:00am or 10:45am at Harvest Community Church as we discover together our purpose in life.
Here’s an honest question: Do you look forward to Sundays? We design our weekend gatherings to be moments that fuel the rest of the week. We will explore how the Bible changes lives.

Why Doubt? Have you ever doubted something that others believed to be true? Have you had serious doubts about God, Jesus, and the Bible? If you have you are in good company.
Life is Messy. So are relationships, as well as family. So, why are we surprised when church is messy, too? Bring your friends and family this fall to HCC as we dig into 1 Corinthians to discover how Jesus works in our mess and loves us through it. We’ll also explore how Jesus grows our love for others. Guess what? That will be messy, too. After all, Jesus did teach us to love our neighbor. But he never said it would be easy.
Don’t Check Your Brain at the Door You’ve probably heard it said that if you are going to be a Christian, you’re “going to have to check your brain at the door.” But what if the opposite was true? What if Jesus himself said that you should love God with all of your mind? Over the next 5 weeks, we will dig into Scripture to discuss why Jesus wants to engage our minds as well as our hearts. Topics include:
- Do I have to Shrink my Brain to Live with Faith?
- Can I Really Trust the Bible?

Spring is in the air and Easter is right around the corner. Most know the story of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Some of us know of Palm Sunday. But what exactly happened during that fateful week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. How did Jesus end up on a cross? Join us at 9:00am or 10:45am on Sundays as we dive into the week that changed the world.
Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. Most of us assume we know who he is. But what if Jesus is more? What if you have doubts? What if you just want to know if Jesus, and his forgiveness, are real?

Ever felt stuck in the past? Felt like you can’t break free from something you’ve done or something that has been done to you? We’ve all been there. Sometimes, the past feels like a chain that holds us back from the future.

Christmas can be many things. Many of those are good: faith, family, and giving. Some are stressful: busy schedules, more spending and extra travel. This Christmas, we’re remembering in a unique way what happened over 2000 years ago, in the little town of Bethlehem. A Savior was born. He made our home his home. Each Sunday between now and Christmas, we’ll explore the Christmas story to remind ourselves about the true Spirit of Christmas.

Life is strange. Our stories are sometimes strange. And frankly, some Bible stories are strange. If you think you have God all figured out, think again. Like life, God is full of surprises. Starting

Tweets are all the rage these days…Everybody’s got an opinion about everything. Whether it’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat, there is no shortage of opinions in modern life. But what about God’s opinion? Have you ever wished Jesus would send you a short note to tell you what He wants for your life? Bring a friend at 9:00am or 10:45am as we explore 5 short books of the Bible and discover that, indeed, God does have much to say to our lives. 2 John – The Tweet About Truth and Love 3 John – The Tweet About Bad Influence Philemon – The Tweet About Hurt and Forgiveness Obadiah – The Tweet About Indifference Jude – The Tweet About the Faith
Everyone can experience anxiety, including people who believe in and trust in Jesus. Faith doesn’t exempt us from the pressure of this world. But it can strengthen us to face it. What if faith is not a magic easy button but a way to become stronger? What if all of the things we try to pray our way out of are opportunities to become all that God wants us to be?

#grace
Ever wonder why man made-religion seems empty, but Jesus is so appealing? There’s an easy answer: Grace.
~Dancers have it. Grace.
~Some say it before meals. Grace.
~Courteous people have it. Social Grace.

~And we sing about it. Amazing Grace.

Can you Trust the Faith?
We’ve all heard someone say something like “You don’t really believe the Bible, do you?” or “All religions are the same. They all point to the same God.” If you would like to have more confidence in your faith, and be able to have solid thoughts for kind discussions with those who disagree, bring a friend this Spring at 9:00am or 10:45am to Harvest Community Church.

During summers, most people love to spend time at the lake. Summer is long gone but we still long to be at the lake, hang at the lake, vacation at the lake. We come home from vacation and begin to think about when we can go back. The lake beckons us. We understand why. It’s a beautiful, soul filling kind of place. Jesus did most of his ministry around a lake. And he calls us in much the same way. Jesus beckons. Jesus said follow me. It’s an invitation to a relationship that will change our whole lives.
Bring a friend this week, at 9:00am or 10:45am, as we explore who Jesus is and what Jesus means when he says come and follow me. Let’s discover together why the Lake Rules!
Topics Include:
- How to Begin a Relationship with Jesus
- What it takes to Hear His Voice
- How to Survive the Storms of Life
- What Happens When Jesus Takes Over Your Life
- Why You Should Tell Religion to Go Jump in the Lake
- How to Let Your Doubt Drive You to More Faith
If God is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?
Ever wonder what God wants for your life? Most of us tend to think that God wants something from us. When we read His Word, we see words like obedience and immediately think, this is what you have to do to make God happy. But what if, in his grace, God wants something for you, not from you? Bring a friend this January to Harvest Community Church at 9:00am or 10:45am as we explore what it looks like to put Jesus first in our lives!

This Summer, control of our future and our fate is in the hands of minions. Scratch that. Actually, we’re the minions, and often, we give control of our lives to a lot of despicable masters – control, comfortability, pride, greed, lust, bad attitudes, etc. All kinds of things that just don’t deserve to be in control of our lives. So we’re exploring these masters and learning how Jesus helps us overcome the despicable things we let rule our lives. Bring a friend this Summer at 9:00am or 10:45am as we overcome our despicable masters! #minions “No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” ~ Jesus of Nazareth Topics Include:

Lids: Getting Unstuck
in My Relationship with God
There are places in the Christian life where I just get stuck. Those places are lids that prevent me from moving forward in my life with Jesus. And even worse, once I get stuck, I stop growing. So we’re going to spend the next 5 weeks getting unstuck in our spiritual journey. We’ll talk about what Jesus does to get us unstuck and how we can cooperate with what God is doing to move us to better places of growth.
