Sermons - Harvest Church | Arroyo Grande

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday July 13th, 2025   “Jesus Is All About Love” — drawn from John 13:31–38 — highlights one of the most powerful themes of Jesus' ministry: love demonstrated, commanded, and sustained. After Judas departs to betray Him, Jesus turns to His remaining disciples and gives them what He calls a new commandment: "Love one another, just as I have loved you."   In this message, Pastor Steve Henry explores how Jesus' love is more than a feeling or phrase — it's action. It's selfless. It's sacrificial. It's enduring. And it's what sets His followers apart in the world.   This sermon walks us through:   1. How Jesus' love is proven through His obedience and actions   2. How we are called to love others with that same Christlike love   3. How Jesus' love remains constant, even when we falter   Jesus' love took Him to the cross. Jesus' love met Peter's denial with grace. Jesus' love still pursues you today.  

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday July 6th, 2025   “Jesus Is All About Redemption” — drawn from John  13:18–30 — takes us into one of the most sobering and revealing moments in the Gospels: the betrayal by Judas. In contrast to Jesus' example of humble service, Judas represents pride, secrecy, and ultimate rebellion. Yet even toward Judas, Jesus extended grace.   In this message, Pastor Steve Henry reminds us that Jesus knew Judas' heart — yet He still washed his feet. He still offered the bread. He still extended a chance to repent.   This sermon walks us through:   1. The contrast between Jesus' humility and Judas' betrayal   2. The prophetic fulfillment of Psalm 41:9   3. God's ongoing invitation to choose life and redemption  

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday June 8th, 2025   “We Follow Jesus by Following His Example” — based on John 13:12–17 — invites us to reassess true greatness in God's kingdom. In this sermon, Pastor Steve Henry shares how Jesus didn't just teach humility and service — He demonstrated it by washing His disciples' feet.   Pastor Steve breaks down three core truths from Jesus' example:   1. Jesus Modeled with words and actions (v. 12–14)   2. Jesus Modeled humility and servanthood (v. 15–16)   3. Jesus Modeled the pathway to a blessed life (v. 17)   This message reminds us that:   - Serving others is central — not a burden, but a kingdom priority.   - True joy and blessing come through service, not being served.   - Our faith must be active, living out the gospel in real ways.   You'll also be challenged with 10 practical ways to serve — from listening compassionately and offering help to forgiveness and hospitality. Whether you're just starting your walk or have been on the journey for years, this teaching will ignite your heart toward action, humility, and deepened joy.

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday June 15th, 2025 "For God So Loved the World" | John 13:1–11  In this powerful message, Pastor Steve walks us through John 13 and the unforgettable moment when Jesus washes His disciples' feet. More than just an act of service, this moment is a vivid picture of the Gospel. We explore three truths: 1. Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life and eternity. 2. Unless Jesus washes you, you have no inheritance in Him. 3. Jesus explains the believer's need for sanctification. Through this humble act, Jesus reveals His love, His mission, and the cleansing work only He can do. This message challenges us to receive His grace, walk in holiness, and follow His example of servant-hearted love. #Gospel #JesusLovesYou #John13 #Sanctification #HarvestChurchAG #Sermon

Faith is Essential to Believe in Jesus | John 12:35–50 1. By faith, you must believe that Jesus is the Light of the World. 2. Believing requires faith; we walk by faith, not by sight. 3. Believing in Jesus is rewarded with salvation.   Jesus performed signs, fulfilled prophecy, and spoke truth straight from the Father—so why did so many still not believe? In this message, we unpack why faith is essential to truly believe and follow Jesus. Evidence matters, but faith is what brings it to life. If you've ever wrestled with doubt or wondered what it really means to trust Jesus, this message is for you.
