God’s truths in the Bible are clear, yet the world we live in is anything but! This makes navigating through life as a faithful follower of Jesus tricky at times, which is why God put the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. This unique book helps us in our discipleship by setting realistic expectations, so we can keep our hopes fixed on heaven.

It’s important for us to have places to talk with one another about how to live as Christians in our world. Let’s Talk! is just such a place. Our goal is to bring a Biblical perspective to the questions and issues that are on our minds. We’ll start with questions related to the Sunday sermon text, and then open our time up to address any other issues on your minds. Bring your questions, and let’s talk!

Jesus commands all believers to be disciples who make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) These studies will help as you work to be a faithful follower of Jesus, or help you find Scripture to explain to someone else what that’s all about – and the next one is particularly apt.
The Design for Discipleship series explores the foundations of discipleship and is great for everyone from the newest believer to the spiritual parent. The series includes seven workbooks, most having five chapters for study and discussion.
You will find copies of the book at the Harvest Book Table, and we urge you to join us; discussion really is key to understanding and you are welcome even if you haven’t been part of the class before. Those currently taking part in the discussion are at various levels of spiritual growth – you’ll fit right in!

If you’d like to serve on our Sunday morning Tech/Media Team, and help facilitate our weekly
worship services at Harvest, there’s a place for you! We’re looking for volunteers to serve once
per month at our Pro Presenter (song lyrics and other content for the Worship Center screens),
and Video Streaming positions. Training is available. 

The podcast is a congregational conversation space - a place to engage with the life of our church and it's mission to make disciples.  
Listen in, talk about it with others, send us feedback. Join the conversation!

Episode 36 - Ecclesiastes Overview
How we navigate a confusing and murky world.

Why can life often be so challenging to grasp and understand? Does the Bible have anything to say about that? In God's great wisdom, He inspired the author of the book of Ecclesiastes to address that very idea. This podcast episode gives a grand overview of Ecclesiastes and discusses some finer details to help us prepare to hear this book preached in our Sunday worship services.
