Current Sermon Series:  Isaiah: from Fire to Freedom

No Old Testament book is more important to the message of the whole Bible than the prophet Isaiah. Sometimes referred to as “the Fifth Gospel,” God’s words in Isaiah are the foundation for much of the New Testament. Be sure to get a copy of our 1-page overview of Isaiah at the Welcome Center on Sunday morning or online HERE, and join us starting Sunday October 1st as we start to walk through this critically important book of the Bible.

LIFT Project

Training Session
Sunday,  April 28, 2024
12:00 - 2:00 PM meeting in the Multipurpose Room

Come be part of the LIFT Project!
LIFT is a project meant to foster discipling relationships between generations, supporting Harvest's mission of helping all people find and follow Jesus.
How does it work?
Adults and kids/teens will be paired up for one year. You’ll send monthly notes, pray for each other, and get to know each other. You might sit in church together or do something during the week. Each pairing will look a little different, depending on your personality and schedule.
How do I sign up?
If you’re able, visit the LIFT table in the atrium after church on April 14 & 21, or contact Beth Borbon at bethborbon@harvestcc.org.
All adults interested in being paired with a child will need to pass a background check and attend a training session on
Sunday, April 28 at 12:00 in the Multipurpose Room.  Light lunch will be served.

Design for Discipleship

Sunday May 12 through June 9th
8:30 to 9:45am  Room to be announced later

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commands all believers to be disciples who teach disciples.  We can 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.
The Design for Discipleship series explores the foundational elements of discipleship, great for everyone from the newest believer to the spiritual parent.  We’re currently working through Book 3 of the series and will move on to Book 4, The Character of a Follower of Jesus, shortly.  This study covers a life marked by authenticity, integrity and purity. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t been part of the previous classes.  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.

The podcast is a congregational conversation space - a place to engage with the life of our church and it's mission to make disciples.

Episode 28 - The Sabbath
The 4th Commandment, "keep the Sabbath holy," is frequently repeated in the Old Testament, and its roots go all the way back to the creation of the world. So should Christians today still "keep the Sabbath?" If so, what does that mean?  Matt & Chris unpack this frequently asked question.
