Harvest Church Podcast

The Biblical concept of stewardship means we are caretakers of what God has given us. Everything in your life, is God’s. He’s given it to you so that you may steward these things in a way that brings glory to Him. When we steward what God has given us, It tends to open the door of continued blessing throughout our lives. Join us today as Pastor Donnie discusses our topic “Stewarding Marriage.”

We will just say a quick word about common arguments and move on because our focus here is about Christianity and self-defense. Not necessarily providing a counter argument to every anti-second amendment argument out there. So… When it comes to arguments such as “Regulation means that it’s the governments job to regulate.” or hear things like “militia means the Army, Navy and other military provid...

Stewardship was established from the beginning. Adam and Eve were told to work the land - steward God’s creation. To utilize what God has provided and allow it to grow. The word of God was given to us with the expectation that we will be stewards of it and allow growth to happen in us but also through us. The Bible, the word of God, is one of the most influential books of human history. It explain...

When some people think of prepping, what comes to mind is images of strange people wearing tinfoil hats huddled in a shelter while they wait for the mothership to return. For others, thoughts of a recluse living in a one-room shack in the middle of rural America come to mind. Most today hear one definition for prepping and live their life on one level of prepping.

Christian culture today tends to gravitate towards teachings about God’s blessing and to a degree that’s fine- God’s blessing is a very real thing. We have to be careful that we don’t shun the prosperity Gospel so much so that it robs us of the reality that God does bless us. The problem is we often talk about God’s blessing and how it ties to generosity and that’s a very real Biblical principle -...

As a culture we are no longer critically thinking through issues, we are “either or” driven. Our politics is horizontal thinking- Leftwing or the rightwing. Are you pro-this or anti-that? The topic of the border is one of the extreme examples of “either, or” thinking. It’s assumed that if you believe in a wall or border that you are anti-immigration. If you are pro-immigration it’s assumed that yo...

Easter, the death and resurrection of Jesus is the pinnacle moment of our Faith, it is the focal point of the Gospels. Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches from Mark chapter 15 as he dives into some of the deeper details of Jesus' trial, crucifixion, and resurrection that we often overlook because of our familiarity with the story. 

Our culture tries to get us to live for the world by lying to us, by telling us do this, buy this, say that and you’ll be satisfied but it’s a mirage - something that isn’t there. On this Good Friday, if we don’t learn anything else we want to understand this.   The cross teaches us that Jesus is enough. Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches from Philippians chapter 4 on Jesus being enough.

Conspiracy Theories... We are living in the golden age of conspiracy theories. There are conspiracy theories that are true and conspiracy theories that are false. Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches and ask the questions... When it comes to conspiracy theories, is our primary concern “is it right or wrong to study conspiracy theories” our primary concern should be “am I spiritually healthy or...

Today we continue our series “the Gospel of Mark” where we have made it a point to dive in and truly study the word of God. Over the past few weeks we have broken the Gospel of Mark down into 3 themes… Part 1: Mark 1-8 “who is Jesus?” Part 2: Mark 8-10 “what does it mean for Jesus to be the Messiah?” Today we will discuss the 3rd theme… Part 3: Mark 11-16  “How Jesus becomes King.” Please join us...

The Lord has the same kind of persons following Him in the first century as He does here in the 21stcentury. The same struggles that the disciples deal with are the same struggles that we deal with here today. We watch our own lives unfold as we watch the disciples’ lives unfold, we learn lessons from them that will hopefully save us from having to go through the pain of learning it experientially...

Today we will dive into Jesus being the Messiah which is the primary point of chapters 1-8. Mark in his writing, right out of the gate, the first chapter, get’s us to the understanding that although Jesus is fully man, there is evidence all over Him of divinity which points us to the reality that He is fully God. Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches from Mark chapter 1.

Mark – is short, concise and straight to the point, 16 chapters. Each one of the men who wrote the Gospels had their lives impacted and changed by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in such a profound way that they were not only motivated through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to write the Gospels, but they were also motivated through their salvation experience and witness that the Son...

We have been teaching about God’s vision for our lives, Vision is the bridge between where you are and where God wants you to be. God has plans for your life. Sometimes when we say we are “led by the Holy Spirit” we fall under the unbiblical practice of “winging it” and if things don’t go well we blame the Holy Spirit. Walking by faith does not mean, winging it and throwing ourselves into things,...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing God’s vision for our church with the understanding that – we are the church and God’s vision for our individual lives always connects to God’s vision for our corporate lives as the body of Christ. His vision calls us to come together in unity, it’s under God’s Vision that we experience unity as we work towards common eternal goals. Please join us as P...

Our heart is to bring a Biblical perspective because it is the right perspective that leads us in life as we discuss the topic of gender and sexuality. Our heart is not to be hateful, Our heart is to articulate that “Made in the image of God” is precious to Him. It’s not to vent, it’s not to berate. During the Sanctity of life series, we have been covering the sacredness of life and we believe thi...

Please join us as Mark Bartkoski shares his life and passion for hunting and winning souls for Christ.

Today we are circling back to the topic of human trafficking.  When it comes to the topic of human trafficking, it’s really odd because human trafficking is modern day slavery . It’s holding someone captive and profiting off of them.
