We are on the last stretch of 1 Corinthians!

The letter closes with some “business items”. And first up: Paul reminds them to give. The people of God give to the work of God. All the people, each giving something.

What does New Testament giving look like? It’s worship and thanksgiving to the God Who has given us everything. Join us for “Giving an Offering”.

Why bother?

Have you ever felt that? You work, you serve, you go all the extra miles. Is it making any difference? Does it matter?

It absolutely does. Jesus won the ultimate victory. He’s called us to the ultimate mission. And the promise attached is: our labor is never in vain.

Join us this Labor Day Weekend for We Labor in Victory.

The Bible says you are getting a new body. An eternal, indestructible body. Don’t you want to know what it’s like?

Join us this Sunday as the Bible describes your coming resurrection.

Baptism is the biblical profession of faith - the public identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will be celebrating our next Baptism Service on August 23rd. 

If you need to take this step of faith, or for more information, email Pastor Jeff. 

Jesus Christ rose from the dead to give us new life. “New life” is not just vitality to a dead soul (tho it certainly is that) - it’s a whole new way OF LIVING. No Fear! No Fools!

Join us Sunday as we continue walking through one of the greatest chapters in Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15. Because Jesus Was Raised: We Walk a New Path.

Grace. It is God’s unmerited favor. God giving to us what He requires from us.

And it is far more than a doctrine on a page. It’s a gift to be received and a way of living your life.

Join us as we dive into one of the greatest chapters in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 15. We Live in Grace.

Order!

This Sunday, we jump back into our series in 1 Corinthians. 

Preaching, tongues, music, the role of women - God lays out for us His design for a worship service: "all things should be done decently and in order" (14:40).

What exactly does that look like? Join us Sunday!

Complaining seems so minor in comparison to other sins. But it isn’t.

Complaining insults the character of God, corrodes your own soul, and infects others around you. This is a serious issue that you should take seriously right now.

Join us this Sunday as we study Numbers 21:1-9 and receive one final warning from the Lord: Do Not Be Complainers.

Repentance is an essential biblical command. You are called to repent not just at the moment of your conversion but every moment after that.

How can you tell if your repentance is fake or genuine? You need to sit up and pay attention to the warning signs. You need to sit up and pay attention to what is going on in your heart.

Join us this Sunday as we study Numbers 14:39-45 and receive another warning from God: Do Not Be Fake Repenters!

We live in such a stressed out and anxious culture where worry is normalized and excused. Everyone is worried about something.

Doubt is not just a problem in the world. Doubt is a problem in the church as well.

This problem cannot and should not be ignored. Join us this Sunday as we study Numbers 13-14 and receive a second warning from God: Do Not Be Doubters!

Have you ever been warned against doing something, but you did it anyway?

Have you ever been given the option between learning the easy way OR learning the hard way?

According to Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, the ancient Israelites learned the hard way so that you could learn the easy way. They set a negative example that you should avoid rather than embrace.

Throughout the month of July, we will receive four warnings from the books of Exodus and Numbers. Join us this Sunday for the first warning: Do Not Be Idolaters.

Speaking in tongues was a legit spiritual gift, but many people still today misunderstand and misuse it.

What does the Bible say about the purpose of speaking in tongues? Why was this even a thing?

Join us Sunday for What About Speaking in Tongues? (Part 2)

Controversy. In Corinth, and still today, people are all over the board about speaking in tongues. Does it still happen? Is it the sign of being Spirit-baptized? Was it just a first-century thing? Are there different kinds of “tongues”?

Join us for a close look at what the Bible actually says on the topic. See you Sunday for What About Speaking in Tongues?

Not your ministry, not your stuff, not your gifts - not even faith or hope.

There is one exception: Love.

Love never ends. So that’s the thing we need to be diligently going after.

Join us this Sunday for Why Do I Love?

It’s love.

This Sunday, we will get to the point. The point of Paul’s whole letter to the Corinthians. They had a lot of problems: cliques, envy, selfish-centeredness, pride… the list goes on.

The long list of interpersonal issues has one cure: love. For that church, this church, any church. Not just saying it, not just idealizing it - honestly loving one another from the heart.

It is the one thing that must characterize every church - and every individual Jesus-follower.

Join us for How Do I Love?

Do you struggle to believe that you have an important part to play at Harvest?

Do you ever feel like you have nothing of value to offer anyone on Sunday mornings?

Do you experience envy when you see how God has gifted other believers around you?

If you answer any of these questions with a yes, you need to be reminded of God’s design for the church. You need to be encouraged that you do have a necessary role to carry out.

Join us this Sunday as we study 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 and discover how the the church is like a body.

God’s Holy Spirit gives every born-again follower of Jesus a gift to be used in and for the church.

But spiritual gifts are often either ignored or abused.

What does the Bible say about spiritual gifts? If you are a disciple of Jesus, are you using the gift the Holy Spirit gave you to bless the church?

No benchwarmers on Jesus’ team. Join us Sunday as we turn to God’s Word for the answer to the question: What About Spiritual Gifts?

The Lord’s Supper is a sacred and meaningful participation with the death of our Lord, and all that Jesus’ death means.

God takes our personal involvement in it very seriously. Not just receiving the bread and the cup… but how we receive them.

Join us Sunday for a deeper look at the Lord’s Supper from 1 Corinthians 11!

It’s not a new debate.

Gender roles, authority & submission, men being masculine and women being feminine - issues we face today as the Corinthians did when Paul wrote this letter.

Join us Sunday for an honest (i.e. Biblical) look at a controversial subject.

Baptism is the biblical profession of faith - the public identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will be celebrating our next Baptism Service on May 10th. 

If you need to take this step of faith, or for more information, email Pastor Jeff. 

Have you ever thought that being "right" might actually be doing more harm than good? This Sunday, we are diving into 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1 to see how our personal freedoms should be used to build others up rather than tear them down.

Join us as we learn to prioritize God's glory and the conscience of others over our own preferences.

Yet we are all capable of worshiping something other than God. Why do we do that, and how do we stop?

Join us Sunday as we dig into 1 Corinthians 10:14-22.

Maybe other people have failed… but NOT ME. That will NEVER happen to me.

Oh, it certainly can. And if you are sure it can’t, it definitely will.

We’re talking about pride. We see other people sin, fail, become “disqualified” - and we have persuaded ourselves that we are made of sterner stuff. And God’s Word warns us - if you think you’re standing, be careful! You just might take a fall.

Join us Sunday for an introspective look at 1 Corinthians 10:1-13!

If we are going to be brutally honest with ourselves…

Our biggest enemy isn't some spiteful coworker, a slanderous church member, or even the devil himself.

Your biggest enemy stares back at you in the mirror. Many of our problems stem from a lack of self-control. And God's Word is clear: if you are going to walk a victorious Christian life, you have to walk a path of self-control. How are you doing in that area?

Join us Sunday for How Do I Control Myself? 

In the Mosaic Law, the priests represented man before God, offering sacrifices for sin.
On the cross, Jesus fulfilled all of that. He is the sacrifice, and the Priest offering the sacrifice.

What is our response? You must confess.

Join us at 6pm on Good Friday!

The Son of God fulfilled the Old Testament roles of prophet, priest, and king. We will examine each of these roles in messages leading up to and including Resurrection Sunday.

First up is Jesus' role as THE Prophet foretold by Moses right before Israel entered the Promised Land. It seems obvious that Jesus was THE, and not just a, Prophet - but what can that possibly mean for me today?

Come this Sunday to learn that Because He is a Prophet, I Will Believe.

You are Loved!

I know my rights!

Great! Did you know you can lay your rights down?

Denying yourself is counter-intuitive, unAmerican, and… one of the greatest joys you can ever know.

See you Sunday for Why Should I Deny Myself?

Pastors should be supported by the church. This was a right that Paul was willing to lay down, but it is expected nonetheless.

Why should churches pay the pastor? Join us Sunday as we dive into 1 Corinthians 9.

If you are in Christ, you are free. You are not under the Old Testament Law.

But are you free to do whatever you want? Even if it offends another believer? No.

Because even more important than your freedom must be your love for your brother.

Join us Sunday as we learn how to love each other more maturely.

So much is preached and taught about marriage and parenting. But what about the singles among us?

It’s not a second-class way of living. In fact, Paul says it’s actually better!

If you have the gift of singleness, the Bible teaches that there are some definite advantages.

Join us Sunday for What About Us Single People?
