Sermons

There were over 500 witnesses to Jesus after his resurrection. What would happen if we put those witnesses on trial? We would find lives changed by the resurrection story. This Easter Sunday, Pastor Jeff invites you to let the Resurrection Story of Jesus change YOUR story as well. 

Pastor Jeff is starting a new sermon series where we study the narratives of people who “Encounter Christ.” These narratives will show us that when we encounter Christ our lives change. In this first sermon of this series, Pastor Jeff preaches from Luke 5, challenging us to “leave the boat.”

As Paul encouraged the church at Ephesus, so Pastor Gary Becker encourages us and challenges us from the book of Ephesians, to continue to grow in spiritual maturity as a church body. 

Our Director of Worship, Ben Garcia, shares with us how being a part of a church plant has changed his perspective on what it means to serve like Jesus in a local church. He shares with us a special message for our church from John 13. 

Every Sunday we ask is God gonna show up at Harvest Bible Chapel. Because, when God shows up it makes all the difference. That is what makes us a “vertical church.” Yet, if we need God to show up, then why don’t we ask? Pastor Jeff Hoenshell challenges us from the book of Ephesians to ask God to show up.

One of our Four Pillars at Harvest is “Lifting high the name of Jesus in worship.” This commitment to worship keeps us focused on Jesus Christ as the center of our church. Until we can get the vertical relationship wth Christ right our horizontal relationships will be out of order. Pastor Gary Becker shares with us from Hebrews and encourages us to “Stay Vertical.”

Many sermons challenge us to be bold and share our faith with others. In this sermon Matt Rumbaugh gives us practical tips on how we can make sharing our faith an every day reality. 

The Feeding of the Five Thousand is one of the most told miracles of Jesus. It’s the only miracle that is recorded in all four gospels. Pastor Nyke Gatlin, from McLean Bible Church, gives us a challenging message based on this passage in Luke 9:10-17. Jesus’ desire to meet both physical and spiritual needs challenges us to live on mission for the sake of the gospel. 

In this sermon Pastor Joe Kelty from McLean Bible Church teaches from 3 parables told by Jesus. Each parable reminds us of how God desires reconciliation with the sinner. That reconciliation can only happen through Jesus and his work on the cross.
