Harvest Baptist Church

Jesus calls His followers to stop living in reaction mode and start living with intentional, second mile faith. When you choose love, generosity, and integrity even under pressure, you regain control and you look a whole lot more like your Father in heaven.

Life can feel anything but “Hakuna Matata,” especially around the holidays. But Philippians 4 shows us a better way—through prayer, truth, and the peace of God, we can worry less and live with the calm assurance of Christ at the center.

This message is about more than just surviving the holidays with your family—it’s about loving them well because of how Christ has loved you. Whether your crew is calm, chaotic, or somewhere in between, Scripture gives us a game plan for choosing love, peace, and gratitude in the middle of it all.

This year’s Christmas Concert combined powerful storytelling and gospel truth through three original Letters to Jesus films and a message from John 1:14. Each letter—written by a child, a weary mom, and a grieving widower—pointed to the deeper hope of Christmas: that Jesus is God’s personal message to us. He didn’t send a letter from a distance—He came in person, and He came for you.

Christmas isn’t just twinkly lights and cinnamon candles—it’s about trusting God with the messiness of real life, just like Mary did. If you're carrying trouble this Christmas, you’re invited to lay it down with the One who actually knows how to handle it.

We all think just a little more—money, stuff, success—will finally satisfy us, but it never does. Jesus flips the script and shows us that true freedom comes not from getting more, but from wanting less and enjoying what we already have.

Most of us are better at staying busy than learning how to rest well. Sabbath is God's invitation to stop, breathe, worship, and remember who is actually holding everything together.

Most of us are great at feasting but rarely think about fasting. This sermon invites us to rediscover fasting not as a religious punishment, but as a powerful way to draw near to God, quiet our cravings, and align our hearts with what really matters.

Prayer isn’t a performance, and it’s definitely not a magic formula. Jesus shows us that real prayer is simple, honest, and rooted in knowing we’re talking to a Father who already loves us and knows what we need.

Learn how the spiritual discipline of solitude can calm your soul, deepen your prayer life, and help you hear God's voice more clearly in a noisy world.

We all want our lives to matter—but Jesus says the path to real impact and real joy runs through generosity. This message invites you to loosen your grip on what won’t last and invest in what never fades.

Jesus didn’t just preach sermons, He shared meals. This message reminds us that some of the most powerful gospel work happens not behind a pulpit but around a table — where love, food, and friendship collide.

Evangelism isn’t just for pastors or missionaries—Jesus invites all of us into the joy of sharing His good news. Whether you're just starting out or learning to speak up, this message helps you take the next step with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Serving others might not always feel glamorous, but it’s the secret path to real greatness, deeper relationships, and surprising joy. Jesus didn’t just talk about it—He grabbed a towel, washed feet, and said, “Now you go do the same.”

Community is not something Jesus scheduled; it was the heartbeat of His life. This message reminds us that we grow stronger when we grow together, rooting our lives in Christ and one another. Subscribe for more content like this!

What does it really mean to walk in truth and live in love? In this message from 2 John, Pastor Marc unpacks how Christians can stay rooted in God’s truth while showing genuine love to others. You’ll discover why truth without love is harsh, and love without truth is hollow — and how the two must always walk hand-in-hand.

Discipleship is not about going it alone, but about growing alongside others in real community. Jesus showed us that it takes time, starts small, and eventually leads to helping others grow too.
