Harvest Baptist Church

Pastor Caleb continues our journey through the Gospel of John with a message from John 14 titled When You Don't Know the Way. As fear grips the disciples and questions swirl, Jesus speaks peace into the room with seven words that still calm hearts today: Let not your heart be troubled. But He doesn't just soothe their emotions. He gives them Himself. I am the way, the truth, and the life. This moment isn't just comforting. It's clarifying. Jesus is not one of many options. He is the only way to the Father. He is the truth we can build on and the life our souls were made for. When you feel lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain, John 14 reminds us where to look. Not for a plan. For a Person.

What do you do when evil seems to be winning and God seems silent? In this message from Psalm 10 verses 1 through 15, we sit with the psalmist in a place we don't always like to admit exists. A place of honest questions, unanswered prayers, and visible injustice. From the opening cry, "Why standest thou afar off, O Lord?" to the painful picture of the wicked preying on the poor, this psalm doesn't skip the struggle. It names it. It sits in it. And it gives us permission to bring our raw, hurting hearts to the Lord. We walk through five truths from the passage: • God invites honest lament • God sees what they think they've gotten away with • Pride feeds injustice but God resists both • Trust is hard when you're helpless but that's when God leans in • Prayer is how we fight when we feel powerless This message reminds us that real faith doesn't fake peace. It leans in when God feels far away. And it holds on to what's true when everything around us says otherwise.

Mother's Day brings a mix of emotions. For some it's filled with joy and gratitude. For others it brings grief or complicated memories. In this message, Pastor Caleb walks through ten biblical ways to honor your mother. Whether she was faithful and loving or someone you're still learning to forgive, the call to honor remains. This message is for everyone. Sons, daughters, parents, and anyone seeking to reflect the heart of Christ through obedience, gratitude, forgiveness, and grace. Honor is not just a holiday gesture. It is a life shaped by the gospel.

Pastor Caleb wraps up our 2-week series from John 12 titled The Hour Has Come with a powerful Easter Sunday message: What Will You Do? In this final public message before the cross, Jesus makes one last invitation—a call to believe, to step into the light, and to surrender. As we walk verse by verse through John 12:20–50, we see the contrast between dead religion and the risen Christ. The tomb is empty. The cross was real. The resurrection is historical. And what sets Christianity apart is this: Jesus is alive. So now that you've seen Him… what will you do?

Pastor Caleb continues our journey through the Psalms with a powerful message from Psalm 8 titled “Majesty and Mud” In this Psalm of wonder David looks up at the night sky and asks the question we've all felt deep in our hearts What is man that thou art mindful of him It is a song that reveals two life changing truths God is majestic beyond comprehension and yet He still cares deeply for people like us As we walk verse by verse we see how God's glory fills the heavens how He crowns clay with honor and how the Gospel shines through. This message invites us to worship not just with our lips but with our whole lives

Pastor Caleb kicks off a brand-new chapter and 2 week series from John 12 titled The Hour Has Come with a powerful Palm Sunday message: The King Is Coming. In this episode, we follow Jesus as He enters Jerusalem—not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. Not with swords drawn, but with crowds shouting “Hosanna!” It's the beginning of the end—and the start of everything new. We explore what real worship looks like through the extravagant, unashamed offering of Mary… and what superficial faith looks like through the palm branches of a crowd who would cheer on Sunday but change their minds by Friday. We talk about how Jesus came not to take the throne by force—but to win hearts through sacrifice. If you've ever wrestled with the cost of following Christ, been tempted to settle for religious performance, or wondered how close is too close when it comes to worship—this message is for you. Because the King is coming. And when He does… everything changes.

Psalm 7

Pastor Caleb continues our Gospel of John Series with a message from John 11:1–27, where life gets messy, grief runs deep, and Jesus seems… late. In this powerful passage, Mary and Martha face the death of their brother Lazarus while wrestling with divine silence and delayed answers. But behind the scenes, Jesus is setting the stage for something far greater than a quick fix—He's about to reveal Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. In this episode, we unpack what it means to trust God when His timing doesn't make sense, how to bring your honest questions to Him, and why faith isn't about understanding the plan—it's about trusting the Person. Whether you're waiting, grieving, or struggling to believe again, this message reminds us: God's delays are not His denials—and He's never too late.

1 Corinthians Chapter 13

Continuing in our series through the Psalms: What do you do when you're doing right—but life still feels wrong? In this episode, we explore Psalm 4, where David shows us how to find peace in the middle of pressure. Surrounded by critics, shaken by stress, and lying awake in the tension of it all—David doesn't explode… he prays. This message is for anyone who's ever wrestled with restless nights, unfair attacks, or the frustration of unanswered questions. Psalm 4 reminds us that peace isn't found in perfect circumstances—it's found in a faithful God. Perfect for anyone dealing with anxiety, frustration, or the ache of feeling unseen. Key passage: Psalm 4

Pastor Caleb continues in our sermon series "Exploring the Psalms" in the Wednesday evening Bible Study on March 5, 2025: When life feels like it's closing in, how do you find peace in the panic? In Psalm 3, David was literally running for his life—facing betrayal, fear, and overwhelming odds. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, he discovered a peace that only God can provide. In this episode, we'll break down Psalm 3 verse by verse, uncovering how we, too, can move from overwhelmed to overcoming. If you've ever wrestled with anxiety, doubt, or exhaustion, this study will remind you: God is your Shield, your Sustainer, and your Source of peace.

Pastor Caleb continues in our Gospel of John study as we conclude our mini-series on The Good Shepherd. Throughout this series, we've seen that Jesus is not just any shepherd—He is the Good Shepherd. But what makes Him different? In John 10:11-18, Jesus reveals four powerful truths: 1. His Description – He is the Good Shepherd, set apart from all others. 2. His Devotion – He lays down His life for the sheep, proving His love. 3. His Desire – He unites His flock, calling both Jew and Gentile to Himself. 4. His Dominion – He holds the ultimate authority over life and death. Yet, so many of us struggle with fully trusting His guidance. Are you just familiar with the Shepherd, or are you truly following Him? Do you hear His voice above the noise of the world? Do you trust His care, even when life takes you through dark valleys? Join us as we dive into this powerful passage and discover why Jesus is the only Shepherd worth following with our whole hearts.

In a world that resists authority, why do we often rebel against God's rule? Psalm 2 paints a clear picture of humanity's resistance to God's sovereignty and the unshakable reign of Christ. The world may rage, but God remains seated on the throne, laughing at the futility of rebellion. True peace is found in surrendering to Christ, the King who will never be overthrown. This psalm calls us to submit to His authority, trust His control, and find blessing in obeying Him. Will we humble ourselves and submit to the King, or continue fighting against His rule? Application: 1. Trust God's Sovereignty in a chaotic world. 2. Reject rebellion—surrender brings peace. 3. Respond with submission to find blessing. 4. Reveal Christ's salvation to a lost world. Encouragement: This week, reflect on areas where you're resisting God's will and ask how you can trust Him more. Remember: His reign is unshakable, and His offer of peace is available now. Let's choose to trust the King today.

In a world full of distractions, where do you find true, lasting joy? Psalm 1 presents a powerful contrast between two paths: one that leads to stability and fulfillment, and the other to emptiness and destruction. This message explores how our choices—what we listen to, where we plant ourselves, and what we delight in—shape the direction of our lives. From avoiding worldly influences to deeply rooting ourselves in God's Word, this passage offers timeless wisdom for finding joy that lasts, no matter the storm. Are you ready to make the choice for a life that thrives, or will you be swayed by the winds of culture? Join us on this journey and discover the true source of happiness and stability.

Pastor Caleb continues in our Gospel of John study with Part 3 of The Good Shepherd series. In John 10:10, Jesus draws a sharp contrast between the thief—who comes to steal, kill, and destroy—and Himself, the Good Shepherd, who offers not just life, but abundant life. Yet so many people live in a constant state of striving, chasing after fulfillment in things that never truly satisfy. But what does this abundant life actually look like? Psalm 23 gives us a beautiful picture: a life of provision, guidance, protection, and peace under the care of the Shepherd. In Him, we lack nothing. He leads us to still waters, restores our souls, and walks with us through life's darkest valleys. Are you truly living, or just existing? Are you following the voice of the Good Shepherd or being deceived by the thief? This message will challenge you to stop chasing, stop striving, and rest in the abundant life Jesus has already provided. Listen now and experience the fullness of life with the Good Shepherd!
