Harvest Bible Chapel

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast, where we open God's Word together and grow as disciples of Jesus. This weekend, we're continuing our journey through the Book of Acts in Acts 22:30–23:30—a passage full of tension, trials, and God's sovereign care. The Apostle Paul finds himself in yet another unjust situation, and yet what we see is deeply encouraging. In this message, we'll explore three powerful truths: We're called to act uprightly, even when life feels downright unfair. The Lord never leaves His people—He encourages those He calls, just as Jesus promised in Matthew 28. And in the middle of everyday moments, God's providence is always at work. Let's listen in, and be reminded that no matter what we face, our God is near, in control, and always faithful. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Sometimes obedience brings us straight into hardship. That doesn't mean we've missed God's will—it might mean we're exactly where He wants us. In this episode, we pick up Paul's story in Acts 21. He's falsely accused, dragged out of the temple, and nearly killed by an angry mob. But instead of retreating, Paul stands and shares his story. He tells of his past, his encounter with Jesus, and the mission he's been given. And along the way, we see three truths that still matter today: – It's not un-Christian to stand against unjust governance. – Every Christian has a God-authored story worth telling. – And obedience doesn't always lead to ease, but it always leads us closer to Christ. Let's get to work. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people—even churches—to divide? Whether it's over something as serious as theology or as silly as a favorite fried chicken, we tend to split off, form factions, and guard our preferences. But Jesus prayed for something better—for unity. In John 17, He asked the Father to make us one, so that the world would believe. In this episode, we're turning to Acts 21:15–26 to see what it takes to preserve unity in the body of Christ. When tensions rise and misunderstandings happen—as they always will—how do we stay rooted in grace and keep the peace? The Apostle Paul provides a powerful picture—not just of doctrine and conviction, but of humility, sacrifice, and deep commitment to the unity of the Church. Join us as we walk through this text and discover what it means to be on the same team, deal with disunity, and give of ourselves for the sake of gospel peace. Let's dive in.

Have you ever wished you could go back in time to warn someone you love? Maybe stop them from a painful moment or help them avoid a disaster? That's the whole premise of time travel movies—change the past, save the future. But in Acts 21, we meet someone who knew what was coming—and walked straight into it anyway. Paul was warned again and again that danger, imprisonment, and suffering waited for him in Jerusalem. But he went. Why? In today's message, we're exploring Paul's remarkable courage—and how we can have that same unshakable resolve in the face of difficulty. Whether you're facing uncertainty, pressure, or pain, you'll find strength and clarity in this powerful story of Spirit-led surrender. Let's dive in.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. We're so glad you're joining us today. In this message, we continue our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Acts by turning to one of the most personal and powerful moments in Paul's ministry—his farewell to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:17–38. In this passage, Paul offers a compelling example of faithful leadership and gospel courage. He shows us what it means to serve with humility, sacrifice for the mission, teach the truth, protect the church, and—above all—trust the Lord. Wherever you're listening from, we pray this message encourages you to follow Jesus more fully and live boldly for His kingdom. Let's get into the Word together.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. This weekend, we're in Acts 20:1–12 with a message titled “A Good Example.” There's something powerful about a life worth imitating. From the heroes of Hebrews 11 to faithful believers we've known personally, their stories stir us to live differently. In the same way, the life of the Apostle Paul in Acts compels us—not just to admire him, but to follow his lead. So what does a faithful example look like? Paul shows us: be encouraging, be a friend, and ultimately, be like Jesus. This is a message that calls us to build others up, link arms with one another, and carry the presence of Christ into every space we occupy. We're so glad you're listening in. Now let's open God's Word together. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Previously on…” You've probably heard that phrase before—TV shows love to catch you up before diving into a new episode. And in some ways, Acts 19 feels like that. We get a quick recap of Paul's ministry in Ephesus—powerful preaching, miraculous healings, even public repentance and idol-burning. The gospel was taking root in people's lives in real, radical ways. But then… trouble. When lives are changed by Jesus, the world takes notice—and not everyone likes it. In this sermon, we're diving into one of the most dramatic scenes in the book of Acts—a city in uproar, a mob in the streets, and a church in the middle of it all. We'll tell the story, then look at what it means for us today with three powerful takeaways. Let's get into it. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

What happens when counterfeit power comes face to face with the real thing? In today's message, “A Tale of Two Clothes,” we explore one of the most dramatic moments in Acts—where the power of God collides with spiritual imposters. Through this striking encounter, we'll discover why the source of power matters, how the true power of Jesus exposes the limits of every rival authority, and what happens when people come face to face with the truth. Join us in Acts 19:11–20 as we see how God's power not only reveals—but transforms.   This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're jumping into Acts 19:1–10 in our series, We Are All Witnesses, Part 4, where we see a clear picture of what makes a church fruitful. It's not flashy programs or clever strategies—it's faithful leaders who embody three key characteristics. In this passage, we'll see how true leaders teach people the truth, make the most of tough situations, persevere through difficulty, and train others to carry the mission forward. Let's lean in and ask God to shape us into the kind of people who help His church thrive. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Welcome to the Easter weekend podcast from Harvest Bible Chapel. This week, we're in John 20:24–29, walking through the story of a disappointed doubter turned bold believer. Maybe you've felt like Thomas—believing God would come through, only to watch your hopes fall apart. In this message, we'll see how Jesus meets us in our doubts with grace and truth. We're breaking the story into three parts: Disappointment-Driven Doubt – where our unmet expectations make belief feel impossible. The Provision of Proof – where Jesus steps in and gives Thomas exactly what he needs. Bold Belief – where doubt turns into worship, and belief becomes personal. Let's listen in as we explore how God turns our deepest disappointments into bold declarations of faith. This podcast is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago.

Ever had someone tell you something you didn't want to hear but absolutely needed to? I'll never forget Kyle pulling me aside and saying, ‘Your breath is awful.' Not what I wanted to hear—but I'm thankful he cared enough to say it. It's that kind of truth in love that makes us better. It certainly made me better. In Acts 18, we meet Apollos—a gifted, passionate, powerful teacher who still needed some help. Thankfully, he got it—from friends who saw potential and stepped in with grace. Why should we care about this? Because the future of the church depends on the leaders we're shaping today. So in this episode, we're asking: What does it take to develop healthy, impactful Christian leaders? Here are three things we'll explore: Developing leaders is a necessary work—because the mission goes on even when we're gone. Developing leaders is a delicate work—because correction must be done with care. Developing leaders is a profitable work—because the investment pays off for generations. Let's jump in.
