Current Sermon Series - The Disciplemaking Church

This fall marks Harvest’s 40th anniversary! We’ll kick off this year of ministry by renewing our focus on God’s mission for our church: to make disciples of all nations. For three Sundays in September we’ll discover the three tools God gives us to accomplish this mission: his Word, his Spirit, and his church. Our disciplemaking will be strengthened as we explore how to implement these tools practically in the life of our congregation. Read ahead, engage with this sermon series, and discuss with others!

September 27      Ephesians 4:11-16
 


Upcoming Sermon Series - Back to Genesis!

If you’ve ever tuned in to a movie when it was half over, or started watching a TV series toward the end of a season, you know how confusing it can be: you watch a scene that you can tell is important, but you don’t understand why it matters. It’s hard to see the significance of plot twists when you don’t know the plot, or character development when you’re not familiar with the characters. Reading the Bible can be a lot like that: the significance of each part of the Bible is hard to see apart from a clear view of its overall storyline. Thankfully, all the main elements of the Bible’s story are introduced in its earlies chapters, and getting to know these chapters will help us understand everything that follows them. Join us as we resume our study through the Book of Genesis this Fall at Harvest.

Harvest's Updated Missions Philosophy and Policy Classes

September 27: Missions Class #2, Harvest's Updated Missions Policy
8:30-9:30 am
Room 113/114


As a church, we’ve put a lot of thought and energy over the past 7 years into pursuing our God-given mission to make disciples of all nations. Recently, the Elders have been thinking, learning, and discussing the “all nations” part of that: the way we do global missions.
This has culminated in a significant update to our global missions philosophy (what we’re doing in missions), and the creation – for the first time – of a written global missions policy (how we’re doing it). Join us to learn more.

We'll look at what we believe (Doctrine), how we function (Membership), how decisions are made (Leadership Structure), and how you can participate in our vision (Discipleship at Harvest).

Isaiah - Redemption Revealed, Phase 2

Every Sunday before Services
8:30 am in Room 202
Class taught by Randy Armstrong


Jesus (and the Apostle Paul) often quoted from the book of Isaiah.  Why?  
    Isaiah tells us of:
    - The reaching out of the heart of God,
    - The tragic rebellion of mankind,
    - The resulting corrective judgment, and
    - God's redemption and future hope.  
    At first, Isaiah can seem confusing, but knowing the background makes it surprisingly clear.  Join us as we explore the greatest of the Old Testament prophets.
