Harvest is a church where we love to worship God together, where the transforming message of the Gospel is preached weekly, where authentic community can be found, and where we are intentional about making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Today, Wes and Sonia are joined by associate pastor Ben Fasano for a follow-up discussion on the respectable sin of ungodliness, which Ben preached on this past Sunday. As a reminder, each week this summer, the team will interview the pastor who preached the previous Sunday, diving deeper into the specific respectable sin and biblical text that he exposited. This will be an excellent opportunity to identify and explore "hidden thorns" in your life, as we prepare to revisit HPC in the fall.Link to purchase a copy of Respectable Sins, by Jerry Bridges: https://amzn.to/44RQ4ATX-Ray Questions: https://bit.ly/4jg216QIn case you missed it, please see below for links to the figures mentioned in previous episodes:Figure 6.1: https://bit.ly/42jsR7vFigure 6.2: https://bit.ly/3Ee1d3TFigure 6.3: https://bit.ly/3G0fnq4Link to purchase a copy of How People Change: https://amzn.to/4dzOeGX

This week, Wes, Sonia, and Noah are joined by Harvest elder Rick Lundgren as they discuss the second part of chapter 5, "Change Is a Community Project." Many of us tend to "individualize" our faith, treating community as a nice add-on but something that's not ultimately necessary. But the fact is that our life in Christ – and our pursuit of change through Him – is meant to be a corporate reality. Each of us has a personal, individual relationship with Jesus, but God's design and desire is that we live out this relationship in the context of Christ-centered community.Click here to purchase a copy of the book: https://www.amazon.com/How-People-Change-Timothy-Lane/dp/1934885533

This week, Sonia and Noah are joined again by Executive Pastor Seth Jewell as they tackle the second part of chapter 4, "Married to Christ." When we as believers remember our status as the bride of Christ, it totally transforms how we view the process and purpose of change.

This week, Wes, Sonia, and Noah discuss the second part of chapter 3, "Here's Where God Is Taking You," in How People Change, by Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp. Often, when we're longing for change, we look around in disappointment at "what is" in our lives and dream about "what could be," instead. As Lane and Tripp point out, frequently God works for our good not by changing our circumstances, but by changing us in the midst of our circumstances.Click here to purchase a copy of the book: https://www.amazon.com/How-People-Change-Timothy-Lane/dp/1934885533
