Harvest Church Arroyo Grande

We welcome ministry partner and special guest Cyril Gordon as he breaks down the Passover Seder and shows how every element—matzah, the four cups, and the removal of leaven—points directly to Jesus Christ and the gospel. This powerful teaching connects Jewish tradition to its fulfillment in Christ and highlights the meaning behind Communion. Also included is a recent update from Cyril’s Venice Bea...

What does it really mean to belong to the church? For many, church is something we attend—but Scripture reveals it’s something far deeper. In this message, we’re reminded that being part of the church is not about a building, a title, or a role—it’s about being brought into the family of God through Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever wrestled with your place in the church, felt disconnected, or wondered...

What attitude do we bring when we come to church? Do we arrive expecting to receive something, or ready to serve and love others? In this message, we examine how our mindset toward the church reveals what we truly believe about it. The Bible presents the church not as a place built around preferences or personal benefit, but as a living body where every believer matters and every member is called...

What does it really mean to belong to a church? In a culture where people often choose churches based on preference or feelings, the Bible calls us to something deeper. Church membership is not simply about attendance or convenience—it’s about shared convictions, shared mission, and a shared commitment to follow Christ together.   In this message, we begin a three-part series on what it means to b...

After failure, hesitation, and regret, what does restoration look like? At the end of the Gospel of John, Jesus meets Peter on the shore and asks him a piercing question: “Do you love Me?” It’s not meant to shame him. It’s meant to restore him. In this final passage of John, we see that following Jesus without hesitation begins with an honest look at the condition of our hearts. As we conclude our...

Do you hesitate in your obedience to Christ? What is on the other side of your obedience? In this message, Pastor Curtis explores what it means to follow Jesus without hesitation as he takes us through John 21:1-14, a fishing story where a resurrected Jesus encounters his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. -- We’d love to connect with you: Website: https://agharvest.org Join us in person: Sundays •...

In John 20, the risen Jesus appears to His disciples and repeats a simple but powerful phrase: “Peace be with you.” The disciples were afraid, confused, and uncertain about the future—yet Jesus offers them peace.   Many Christians know about God’s peace, but still live anxious, frustrated, and restless lives. In this message, we look at the encounter between Jesus and Thomas and discover how the r...

After the resurrection, Jesus’ first words to His fearful disciples were simple but powerful: “Peace be with you.” In John 20:11–23, we see anxious followers hiding behind locked doors, Mary Magdalene weeping outside the tomb, and hearts overwhelmed by confusion, grief, and uncertainty. Into that fear, the risen Christ steps and speaks peace.   This message explores why Jesus offered peace then —...

On this special Say Yes Sunday, we reflect on what it means to live a life that leaves a lasting legacy and to respond faithfully when God calls us. Rooted in 1 Peter 4:7–11, this message reminds us that every believer has been gifted by God and called to steward those gifts in love, service, and faithfulness—for His glory and the good of others. We celebrate the countless ways people at Harvest C...

What really happened on the morning Jesus rose from the dead—and why does it matter so much today? In this message from John 20, we look at the climax of Jesus’ biography: His resurrection. Unlike every other life story that rises and falls, Jesus’ story doesn’t end at death—it explodes into resurrection, ongoing ministry, and eternal reign. Together, we explore three essential truths: The Event –...

In John 19:31–42, we are brought face-to-face with the reality of Jesus’ death—and the question it demands of every heart: What impact does the death of Jesus have on you? As Jesus’ body is removed from the cross and laid in a borrowed tomb, Scripture reveals both fulfilled prophecy and exposed hearts. John records these events so that we might believe, and as we walk through this passage, we see...

We continue our study through the Gospel of John with John 19:16b–30, where we witness the crucifixion of Jesus and hear His final words from the cross: “It is finished.” Jesus finished His life well. The question for every one of us is simple—and unavoidable: How will you finish? In this message, we see that finishing well doesn’t happen by accident. From Golgotha, Jesus shows us what a faithful...

Building on last week’s reminder that God hears our prayers and meets us with comfort, this message from Hebrews 10:19–26 calls believers to live with confidence, conviction, and committed fellowship because of what Jesus has done. Through Christ’s sacrifice, a new and living way has been opened. The barrier that once separated humanity from God has been torn down—not by religion or effort, but by...

How do we please God?   That question was asked during our Christmas Eve service—and Scripture gives us a clear answer. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. But what does real, biblical faith actually look like in everyday life?   In this message from December 28, 2025, we begin our study in Hebrews 11:1–2, discovering how faith is demonstrated—not just believed...

Christmas is more than a season—it’s the moment hope stepped into our darkness.   In this Christmas Eve message, we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the unshakable hope found in Him. Through the Christmas story and a powerful reminder that light matters most when the world feels dark, we’re reminded that Jesus did not come into a perfect world—He came into a broken one, bringing light, life, and s...

Love isn’t a feeling — love is sacrifice. This Christmas message from Philippians 2:3–11 shows us how Jesus demonstrated His love, not just in words, but through what He gave up for us. In “Love Is Born,” we look at three sacrifices Jesus made by being born: 1. He emptied Himself of privilege and power 2. He took on our humanity 3. He humbled Himself, even to death on a cross Jesus left glory to e...

This is the season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus—the Savior of the world. But the Gospel of John reminds us that Jesus was born with a purpose: to endure the cross.   In John 19:1–16, we see what Jesus willingly endured—betrayal, denial, scourging, rejection, and crucifixion. Though Pilate found no guilt in Him, Jesus was beaten, mocked, and delivered to be crucified. He knew what awaited H...

Hear from Daniel Kinda and Stephen Goble about their recent trip to Uganda; an engaging discussion led by Pastor Steve. Pray for our missionaries!

In this message, we return to the Gospel of John with a powerful passage in John 18:28–40, where Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate.   From a human perspective, Jesus has been betrayed by Judas, arrested unjustly, and denied by Peter — His closest followers have faltered, and the crowd is about to reject Him. Yet behind every setback is a deeper reality:   Nothing is falling apart. Everything is u...

Hear testimonies from the November 2025 Mazatlán Missions Trip, a joint effort of Harvest Church and Five Cities Vineyard.

This week, Pastor Steve Henry continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we examine Peter’s denial of Jesus in John 18:12–27. Though Peter’s moment is famous, Scripture shows that we too deny Christ—through compromise, silence, fear, and living for our own comfort. Pastor Steve walks us through three reasons Peter denied Jesus: 1. He wasn’t willing to jeopardize his comfort. 2. He was afr...

When life feels out of control, can we still trust that God is in control? This week, Pastor Steve continues our study on God’s Sovereignty, exploring what it truly means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense.   From Job to Joseph, Scripture reminds us that nothing happens apart from the counsel of God—and yet, God doesn’t cause everything to happen. We live in a broken world, but we can choos...

Hear a powerful and encouraging message from guest speaker John Wagenveld of Multiplication Network, sharing from Revelation 21:1–5 on God’s beautiful redemptive plan revealed through the grand narrative of Scripture—Creation, Fall, Redemption, and New Creation.   Multiplication Network is a church-planting ministry that Harvest partners with and supports. Their vision is “to see a healthy church...

This Family Sunday, Pastor Steve Henry pauses our Gospel of John series to focus on a powerful truth: Nothing can happen to you that doesn’t first pass the counsel of God.   Through the stories of Job, Joseph, and King David, we’re reminded that even in seasons of suffering, betrayal, and uncertainty, God’s sovereign hand is still at work. His wisdom is higher, His plan is greater, and His love is...

In this powerful message from John 18:1–11, Pastor Steve Henry walks us through Jesus’ betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane and reveals how we can respond when betrayal comes into our own lives. Before the cross, Jesus modeled three key principles:   1. Worship — keeping our eyes fixed on God   2. Stay humble — trusting God’s higher purposes   3. Face your challenge with faith — surrendering to Go...
