You Who Are Spiritual | Core Value Series: Family

Are you biblically "spiritual"? God calls those who are "spiritual" to be the ones to restore those caught in a trespass. Listen this week as Ps. Misty further excavates the truths from Gal.6 and establishes a pathway for proper church discipline.

Church Discipline| Core Value Series | Family

Welcome to our core value series. In this message we embark on our second core value with a message that centers on church discipline. What do you do with a believer who is in sin? Is it the pastor's responsibility? Should they be kicked out? Listen this week as Ps. Shawn describes the restoration heart of Father God in the context of family and community.

The Father’s Discipline| Core Value Series | The Father Heart of God

Any serious discussion on Discipline has to include Hebrews 12.  This also happens to be the one place that people point to to prove that Father God is a punisher.  Join Ps. Shawn as he dives into a verse by verse excavation of verses 1-6 in an effort to answer that very question.  Is God a punisher who scourges His children?  

The Invitation| Core Value Series | The Father Heart of God

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find mercy. Have you ever considered how much mercy you have stored up in your account because of your sowing and reaping? God isn't calling us to be something that He is not. He's calling us to be merciful, because He is merciful.

Discipline & Punishment| Core Value Series | The Father Heart of God

It is true that Father God disciplines His children, whom He loves. But I would propose that because we have confused punishment and discipline in our culture, we have wrongly attributed all kinds of pain and suffering to God. Listen this week as I answers the question, is God a punisher or a disciplinarian.

A Caring Father| Core Values Series| The Father Heart of God

Have you ever been scared of the verses in John that speak of pruning? Listen this week as Ps. Misty Benson describes the painstaking and meticulous care of the vinedresser and how that relates to the Father's abundant care and gentleness over you.

He is the Fruit | Core Values Series | Father Heart of God

Galatians chapter 5 lists the fruit of the Holy Spirit.  This is fruit is made manifest in our lives when we are in sync with God.  But this list also describes who He is and how He relates to His people.  Because God is never out of sync with His own character, this list becomes a good metric to determine whether we are believing a lie about God.  It also happens to be a good metric to determine if someone is truly operating in the name of Jesus or by some other authority.  

Father Heart of God | Core Values Series| Father Heart of God

Core Values are the guiding principals through which you interpret all of life.  They aren't just good ideas; they are literally the driving force behind what you think and why you think what you do.  In this series we will explore Harvest Church's core values, but in doing so, I think that you will find that our values are actually kingdom values.  So, embark with us on a journey of discovering God and His kingdom values again in this challenging and refreshing series.  

Are You Prepared?

With record breaking cost increases, the average American family is spending hundreds of dollars a month extra just to sustain the same level of living they had only one year ago.  The question is, are you prepared?
