Episode 3: Galatians 3:10-4:7 | Leah Case 16:03

5d ago16:03

16:03

The Galatians started out well, but troublemakers convinced them they had to do more to be accepted by God. That’s the pitfall of legalism; it distorts the gospel and cheats us out of the intimacy and joy of grace through faith. In this episode, Leah reminds us to focus and rejoice in the truth that we don’t work for salvation; we walk in it. Grace…

12d ago22:20

22:20

Galatians might not read like a typical love letter, but Paul loved the believers in the churches there and wanted to keep them accountable. After preaching the gospel throughout the region on his first visit, many Gentiles were saved, and new believers were growing in their faith. But troublemakers infiltrated the church, convincing them that fait…

19d ago23:36

23:36

Whether you’ve been in Christ for two days, two years, or two decades, one thing is certain: we all need the gospel. We never grow out of it. The gospel is milk; it is meat; it is the appetizer; it is the dessert! In this podcast, Cathe introduces our study in Galatians and reminds us that we need a daily reset by being in God’s Word.

1M ago16:02

16:02

Life is filled with choices and decisions to be made. After everything Jesus has said in this sermon, He brings it to the most important choice any of us will ever make: the broad path which leads to destruction or the narrow path that leads straight into Jesus’ arms.

Episode 3: Matthew 5:14-37 | Christi Robillard 20:29

2M ago20:29

20:29

As we continue in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes what it means to be salt and light. It’s easy to sing, “this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine” but sometimes we’re tempted to hide who we are. In this episode, Christi reminds us that when we speak to others about the kingdom of God, about our salvation, and our life in Christ, …

Episode 1: Matthew 5:1-6 | Cathe Laurie 26:49

2M ago26:49

26:49

Jesus’ kingdom has been called the upside-down kingdom because it is a counter-cultural way to live. In this sermon, Jesus gave His disciples a description of what life for His followers should look like. And it didn’t sound anything at all what they expected! In this episode, Cathe takes us through the first four Beatitudes. To join a Harvest wome…

Episode 1: In the Beginning | Christi Robillard 21:28

4M ago21:28

Advent Week 4 | Don’t Miss Christmas! with Melanie Brown 16:25

4M ago16:25

When Jesus came the first time, many people missed it because they got tired of waiting for the promised Messiah. Apathy took the place of anticipation and people were in survival mode, preoccupied with life and not really looking for the Savior. In this podcast, Melanie encourages us not to let distractions, discouragement or delays keep us from b…

Advent Week 3 | He Comes to Where We Are with Christi Robillard 16:13

5M ago16:13

16:13

The first time Jesus came, some were looking for the Messiah—but not many. A devout man named Simeon. An 84-year-old widow named Anna. Sophisticated Magi from the east and common shepherds from the nearby hills of Bethlehem. They came from different backgrounds and unlikely places, with one thing in common: they were searching for Jesus. In this po…
