Prayer as a Spiritual Battle (Ephesians 6:10-20) by Harvest Church

Pastor Ralph Sigler of Harvest Church joins Ken for this episode of the Love In Action Ministries Podcast to discuss the upcoming prayer event, Pray 4 Dothan. Also, this year there will be a Pray 4 Ozark. For more information, visit www.pray4dothan.com Please follow and share the Love In Action Ministries Podcast. Thank you and God bless you.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "For I am the Lord that heals you and strengthens you and revives you and helps you. Behold I know the struggles I know the battles with the enemy, but I have sent my word this day to you to let you know I am not finished with your life that I am at work even now  though it seem I'm far from you. I am near says the Lord. Humble yourself and I will lift you up at the proper time and you will know that I the faithful Lord have kept you through the darkest hours." "This battle is not forever. It is not meant to go on as long as you live. But I declare to you that you will have victory over it, you have a conquering spirit over it. Trust in Me, for I have kept you by an unfailing hand and I will continue to hold you and bless you. This day, I call you to come, roll upon me the things that have you anxious, have your vision blurred, and know that I will not fail you in the hour of temptation, come says the Lord of hosts."  

Stephen's final sermon wasn't designed to win applause—it was a bold call to repentance. In Acts 7:23–60, we see the tragic pattern of humanity rejecting God's messengers while discovering the unchanging faithfulness of God. This passage challenges us to ask an uncomfortable question: Am I resisting God's voice, or responding to it with a softened heart? Whether you've faithfully followed Jesus for years or you're wrestling with questions about faith, this message reminds us that God's grace continues to pursue people who have rejected Him. Stephen defends himself against accusations by walking through Israel's history, showing how God's people repeatedly rejected the very leaders He sent to rescue them. Through the lives of Moses, the temple, and the Law, Stephen reveals a deeper problem—not ignorance, but hardened hearts resisting the Holy Spirit. This sermon explores the progression of spiritual resistance and the hope found in repentance before our hearts grow cold. Even as Stephen is rejected and ultimately martyred, he reflects the heart of Christ by praying for those who are killing him. His life points us to Jesus, who bore our sin on the cross, offered forgiveness to His enemies, and remains faithful even when humanity rejects Him. The invitation of the gospel is still the same today: repent, believe, and receive the grace God freely offers through Christ.

A Praying Church (Acts 13) by Harvest Church

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "I see you weak, tired, covered in ashes because the fires have been so difficult. But behold I have passed by you this day with a hand outstretched, I reach to you and I redeem you to myself. And I say to you I have purpose for you yet. I have a reason for the rescue and I will bring change this day if you will accept it says the Lord, I will bring you change, and you will know that it is I the Lord that has done it in you."      

Brought In, Built Up, Sent Out (Acts 11) by Harvest Church

Truly following Jesus is to be Akin to him. Akin = family, closely related, aligned.  In Acts 7, Stephen stands before the Sanhedrin and, instead of defending himself, boldly points to God's faithfulness throughout Israel's history. His message reminds us that following Christ means choosing truth over comfort and belonging to Jesus above all else. Pastor Scott Goodman walks through Acts 7:1–22, showing how the lives of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses all point to Christ and call us to trust God's Word, keep moving in faith, and become more like Jesus. If you're looking for a church home in Arroyo Grande, we'd love to welcome you to Harvest Church. Join us as we grow in God's Word, worship Jesus, and build authentic community together.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "For I am here says the Lord. I am here to give you that which you need, I'm here to encourage you, I'm here to liberate you, I'm here to raise you up and to give you victory. For behold I know every step. I see every weary word that has come from your lips, and behold this day I am among you I am with you and I call you this day My people of valor My people who are champions, the enemy may seem to be greater, but your Lord is with you." "What are you doing here? Why are you hanging out in a place you're not meant to be? I'm calling you out of that dark place, I'm calling you to a future, to a work to carry out before Me. Behold the enemy has done his best to dampen your spirit and to extinguish your fire, but I say I am with you, come out of this place of darkness says the Lord, and I will renew you and give you greater ministry than what you've known in the past."

Harvest Church's vision is to equip believers to do the work of ministry. Through Ephesians 4:11–16, discover why the church is more than a place to attend, why serving is part of discipleship, and how every believer has a role in reaching the lost and growing the found. Are you ready to be equipped and become who God has called you to be

Andrew Huberman Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days, Andrew Huberman's public story has revolved around a blend of high-profile media, ongoing business activity, and a few tantalizing hints to his fiercely guarded personal life, all of which continue to shape the long arc of his biography. The most biographically significant development is the continued impact of his marathon appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, episode 876, titled “Dr. Andrew Huberman — Peptides, Performance, and Protocols.” Tim Ferriss and summary outlets like Shortform report that Huberman laid out detailed, protocol-level guidance on peptides, stress, and performance, emphasizing his core principle that “high morning cortisol, low evening cortisol” should anchor every health routine. This episode, released this week, is already being widely clipped and shared, reinforcing Huberman's position as a leading public architect of evidence-based health protocols and broadly expanding his influence into peptide and longevity culture. Closely tied to that is the ongoing circulation of his YouTube content, including recent episodes such as “Accelerate Learning & Increase Cognitive Capacity,” where he elaborates on new, hard, and social activities as the best evidence-backed tools for building cognitive capacity, a point echoed by neuroscience-focused accounts like BetterBrain on LinkedIn. These appearances and shares are consolidating his reputation not just as a sleep-and-focus guy, but as a broad systems thinker about brain optimization and learning. On the business and ecosystem front, Fortune reports that billionaire Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Foundation has purchased a massive Manhattan site to build the Ackman Oxman Institute for brain research. While Huberman is not named as a principal in the project, the institute's planned focus on rehab, longevity, and nutrition sits directly in his domain, and industry observers are already informally speculating that figures like Huberman could be drawn into advisory, collaborative, or visiting roles over time. That speculation remains unconfirmed; there is no verified reporting yet that Huberman is involved. Huberman's own platform continues to evolve: his Instagram reel inviting listeners to submit audio questions at HubermanLab.com/myquestion underscores his shift toward a more interactive, community-driven model, potentially influencing the future format of Huberman Lab episodes and deepening his relationship with a global audience. Meanwhile, a cluster of online commentary pieces, including Glam Fame Monitor and Harvest Church blogs, describe him as married to a partner in academia and explore his “quiet presence” of a wife or girlfriend. These posts rely on public records and limited disclosures but are not backed by major news outlets, so details of his relationship status and partner's identity should be treated as lightly sourced and partly speculative, consistent with his long-standing effort to keep his private life off the main stage. There are no widely reported major negative headlines, scandals, or career reversals about Huberman in the past 24 hours from primary news organizations; the current narrative is one of steady expansion of his protocols into mainstream performance and wellness culture, with growing entanglement between neuroscience, media, and high-end philanthropy.

Post Malone Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Post Malone has spent the past few days in a spotlight that feels genuinely biographical, not just promotional. The biggest moment came on the global stage: multiple outlets including Gulf News and Holler Country report that he headlined the FIFA World Cup Final closing ceremony at MetLife Stadium, where he debuted a brand new, unreleased track called Chrome Heartbreaker in front of a worldwide audience. That kind of premiere at the World Cup positions the song, and Post himself, as a long-term fixture in pop culture rather than a passing country crossover. At the same time, his musical direction is noticeably pivoting. Complex, Billboard Japan, and People magazine all note that Post recently shared a studio teaser on Instagram captioned, “That one mofo that don't know when to leave,” with a hard-edged, rap-driven sound that clearly leans back into his hip hop roots after his country run with I Had Some Help and the F-1 Trillion era. According to People and Complex, this teaser ties into his upcoming double album The Eternal Buzz, a planned 40-song project he has discussed on Twitch, with ambitions to drop two albums in 2026 if everything goes his way. That scale and the explicit return to rap are likely to be major turning points in any future biography. Radio outlets like WZPL and stations covered by News Break and InMusicBlog describe how that brief clip has set off intense fan speculation that The Eternal Buzz will straddle both rap and country, splitting discs between genres. So far, there is no confirmed tracklist, release date, or exact genre breakdown; talk of a disc strictly for rap and one for country remains fan theory and should be treated as unconfirmed speculation, even as the hip hop teaser makes the hybrid direction plausible. Tour-wise, Hypebot and the official Big Ass Stadium Tour site confirm that Post Malone's Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll is now gearing up to run through the second half of 2026, after earlier delays he explained as necessary to finish The Eternal Buzz. Those stadium dates, paired with the World Cup performance and fresh rap material, suggest a sustained, big-venue phase of his career, not a brief side chapter. Socially, the key recent public content has centered on those studio clips and World Cup posts; commentary videos like the YouTube piece “Hip Hop Does NOT Want Post Malone BACK” highlight criticism from some hip hop voices, but those reactions are opinion, not hard news. Claims about his current political alignment, such as the Harvest Church article framing him as a Trump supporter, are based on past endorsements and appearances and have not been updated by any new, verified statements from Post himself in the past few days, so they remain context rather than fresh biography. That's your latest Post Malone Biography Flash: new World Cup anthem moment, a serious tilt back toward rap, a mammoth double album on deck, and a stadium tour that keeps him in the center of the cultural map.

Trouble is inevitable wherever people gather—even in the church. Misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and conflict can threaten unity if they aren't handled biblically. In Acts 6, we see that the early church faced both internal challenges and external opposition, yet God continued to work powerfully through His people. In this message, Pastor Steve Henry shows how believers can respond to conflict in a way that honors Christ, preserves unity, and keeps the mission of the gospel at the center. Acts 6 records a complaint within the growing church as widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. Rather than ignoring the problem or allowing division to grow, the apostles responded with wisdom, appointed qualified servants, and remained devoted to prayer and the ministry of God's Word. The sermon also follows Stephen's faithful witness as he faced false accusations and persecution, demonstrating what it looks like to honor God even under intense opposition. Together, these events teach us three biblical principles: expect trouble, work through it, and honor God as you navigate it. Because of Jesus Christ, the church has hope even in seasons of conflict. As we submit to the Holy Spirit, pursue reconciliation, and remain faithful to God's Word, He can use even difficult circumstances to strengthen His people and advance the gospel. If you're looking for a church home, we'd love to welcome you to Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande. Join us as we grow together through God's Word, worship Jesus, and experience authentic Christian community. We'd be honored to have you worship with us. At Harvest Church, we are committed to faithful Bible teaching through verse-by-verse study and expository preaching that helps people grow in following Jesus.

A Kingdom of Priests (Revelation 5) by Harvest Church

Glorifying God in the Gray Areas (1 Corinthians 10:23-31) by Harvest Church

Opposition doesn't always mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes faithfulness to Jesus leads directly into conflict, requiring us to decide whose voice we will ultimately obey. In Acts 5, the apostles face growing persecution, yet their response reminds us that God's calling is greater than the fear of man. As the early church continues to grow through miraculous healings and bold preaching, the religious leaders become consumed with jealousy and imprison the apostles. After God miraculously frees them, they don't run or hide—they return to the temple and continue proclaiming the gospel. This message explores what it means to obey God rather than men, why believers have been rescued for a purpose, and how God calls every Christian to boldly share "the words of this Life," even when it comes at a cost. Jesus not only forgives our sins—He frees us from the prison of sin and gives us a new purpose. Like the apostles, we are called to be witnesses of what we have seen and experienced in Christ, trusting Him to strengthen us as we faithfully follow wherever He leads. If you're looking for a church family in Arroyo Grande, we'd love to welcome you to Harvest Church. Join us as we grow together through God's Word, worship Jesus, and build authentic community centered on the gospel. Whether you're looking for faithful Bible teaching, a verse-by-verse study through Acts, expository preaching, or a Christian sermon to encourage you in following Jesus, we pray this message strengthens your faith.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "Set your eyes upon Me, for behold there is much trouble before you and a world that is set for My judgment. But you are My people and the sheep of My pasture I am your refuge and I will keep you. Behold I say unto you the hour grows late, hold fast, and I will keep My strong hand upon you and you shall prevail says the Lord."

Deception has been Satan's strategy from the very beginning. In Acts 4:32–5:11, we see both the beauty of a Spirit-filled church marked by unity and generosity, and the devastating consequences of believing lies instead of walking in truth. Pastor Steve teaches through the account of Ananias and Sapphira, showing how Satan fills a person's heart through lies that lead to compromise, destruction, and broken fellowship with God. This passage calls every believer to live with integrity, humility, and wholehearted obedience to Christ. If you're in the Arroyo Grande area, we'd love to welcome you to Harvest Church.

Following Jesus requires more than appearances—it calls for wholehearted devotion. In Acts 5:11–16, we see how God protected the unity and witness of the early church, producing reverence, bold faith, and continued gospel growth. In this verse-by-verse study, Pastor Curtis Henry explores the aftermath of Ananias and Sapphira, the fear of the Lord, and the powerful work God continued to do through the apostles. This message challenges us to let go of the world, cling to Christ, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Join us Sundays at 9am & 11am as we grow in God's Word, worship Jesus, and experience authentic Christian community. For more information, visit www.agharvest.org.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "Behold I see the struggle of your soul, I see the strain I see the suffering and I am here with arms stretched out to help you, to set you free, to give you cleansing and freedom from that which satan uses to hold you in his clutches. I see you as the trial of life presses but today I cry out to you come and I will give you rest I will give you aid and comfort in this hour of trouble says the Lord of hosts." "You do not have to continue the way you are, you do not have to live defeated by what I have already overcome for you, this day come claim My righteousness claim My goodness claim My grace and become the overcomer that I have designed you to be and walk in the liberty of the Son of God saith the Lord."

Life's True Aim (1 Corinthians 9:19-27) by Harvest Church

Overcoming Temptation (1 Corinthians 10:1-22) by Harvest Church

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "This day I send My Word and My Spirit among you. My arms are outstretched, I call as a hen calls her own. Come, there's nourishment here, come there's safety here, come there's comfort here. I call to your heart, I see you in your rebellion, but I declare to you your sin is not so great that you cannot be saved. Your sin not so strong that you cannot be delivered. This day I reach to you because I love you says the Lord, and I have called you to My righteousness and that I might cover all of your sin, come this day says the Lord."    

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "For behold, this night I see you and your name is written in My book. Hold on and I will confess you to My Father as one proud, as one pleased, and one who loves. For My coming is soon and the Spirit of the age would have you grow cold and indifferent but if you will overcome you will rejoice with Me in glory, endure to the end My people, for My coming is soon says the Spirit of God."

Through the stories of Adam and Eve, Jacob, and Jesus cleansing the temple, this message explores how our theology, spirituality, and sacred community can be reimagined through a healthier lens.Not everything from our past needs to be rebuilt.

When opposition comes, how should followers of Jesus respond? In Acts 4, the early church faces threats and persecution, yet instead of fear, they respond with confidence in God's sovereignty and a prayer for greater boldness. In this verse-by-verse study of Acts 4:23–31, Pastor Curtis examines how the believers trusted God's plan, prayed for courage rather than comfort, and depended on the power of the Holy Spirit to continue proclaiming Christ. This passage reminds us that opposition is not a sign that God has abandoned us—it is often part of faithfully following Jesus. As we trust Him, our perspective, prayers, and dependence on God are transformed. Harvest Church is a non-denominational church in Arroyo Grande, California, committed to teaching God's Word and helping people grow in authentic relationship with Jesus. Join us Sundays at 9am & 11am. For more information, visit [www.agharvest.org](http://www.agharvest.org).

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "I see your wanderings I see you afar off I see you in places of shame but yet I love you. I call to you I woo you with My grace and My Spirit, I know your hurts, I know your injuries, I know your past. But this day I am willing to accept you into My family as a loving kind Father that wishes to give you a future that is greater than your past, says the Lord."

Dr. Erin Edwards brings humor, honesty, and holy fire to a conversation about Pride, humility, justice, and what it really means to follow Jesus.Preaching during Pride Month, Rev. Dr. Edwards challenges the idea that humility means shrinking, hiding, or becoming less than who God created us to be. Instead, she calls us into a deeper kind of courage: knowing we are beloved, walking humbly with God, serving without needing recognition, and becoming a church where healing, restoration, and transformation are actually possible.With stories from her own life, her family, and Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, this message asks a powerful question: What could happen if we were proud of who we are, but humble enough to let God keep changing us?Listen in for a message about belovedness, service, Pride Month, and the kind of humility that can change a church, a community, and a life.

Faithful where you are Called (1 Corinthians 7:10-40) by Harvest Church

Love that Builds Up (1 Corinthians 8) by Harvest Church

What it Means to be Free (1 Corinthians 9:1-18) by Harvest Church

Religion can produce outward appearance, knowledge, and tradition, yet still leave people enslaved to anger, hard-heartedness, and fear. In Acts 4, Peter and John stand before the religious leaders of Israel and boldly proclaim that true salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. Their courage reveals the transforming power of a life surrendered to Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit. Following the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, Peter and John are arrested and questioned by the very leaders who opposed Jesus. Rather than shrinking back, they faithfully declare that the miracle was accomplished through the power of the risen Christ. This passage highlights three marks of faithful discipleship: trusting Jesus to deliver the victory, boldly declaring the truth, and refusing to compromise when pressured to be silent. The same Jesus who transformed fearful disciples into courageous witnesses is still saving and changing lives today. Forgiveness of sins, new life, and lasting hope are found in Him alone.   We invite you to join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande as we grow together through God's Word, authentic Christian community, and worship centered on Jesus Christ. We would love to welcome you to one of our Sunday gatherings.

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "I've sent My word to your weary heart for I know the low place of the pit. But I declare to you it is not your grave it is your victory. Fight and prevail for I am with you even in the low place and I will give you victory, says the Lord."

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when religion stops seeing people as people and starts using them as ammunition?In this sermon, Pastor Dan uses the story of the woman caught in adultery to confront one of the cruelest habits of modern Christianity: turning vulnerable people into talking points, culture-war targets, and proof texts for someone else's agenda.But Jesus refuses to play that game.When the religious crowd drags a woman into the center to make a point, Jesus sees what they refuse to see: a human being. Not a prop. Not a scandal. Not a sermon illustration. Not ammunition.This message is a call back to the heart of Jesus, a Jesus who stands between the accused and the accusers, between the vulnerable and the stones, between the person being used and the people using them.Because if people cannot find mercy, grace, and hope in our communities, whatever else we are defending, we are not defending it in the way of Jesus.#HarvestSarasota #HumanAmmunition #ProgressiveChristianity #PastorDan #InclusiveChurch #FaithWithoutFear #John8 #JesusAndMercy #PeopleAreNotProps #StopDehumanizingPeople #LGBTQAffirmingChurch #ImmigrantJustice #ReligiousTrauma #FaithAfterHarm #MercyOverMorality #CultureWarChristianity #Deconstruction #Exvangelical #JesusNotEmpire #NoMoreStones #LoveYourNeighbor #ProgressiveFaith Support the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Who are you turning to when life becomes difficult? In Acts 3, Peter points a crowd away from human strength and toward Jesus Christ, the only source of lasting hope, forgiveness, and transformation. Following the healing of a man who had been crippled since birth, Peter boldly proclaims that the miracle was accomplished through the power of Jesus. He calls his listeners to give God the glory, embrace the truth about Christ, and respond with repentance and faith. This message explores Peter's challenge to the crowd and the blessings that come from turning to Jesus: forgiven sins, spiritual refreshment, freedom from judgment, and a life increasingly transformed by God's grace.

Brokenness is something every person knows. Whether it's physical pain, emotional wounds, past failures, or ongoing struggles, we all have places in our lives where we need God's healing touch. In Acts 3, we meet a man whose life had been defined by helplessness for over forty years—until Jesus changed everything. As Peter and John encounter a lame man at the Beautiful Gate, we see the transformative power of Jesus Christ. What the man expected was temporary relief, but what Jesus offered was complete restoration. This passage reminds us that Christ meets us in our deepest need and brings hope where we see none. Ultimately, this miracle points beyond physical healing to the greater healing Jesus provides through the gospel. Through His death and resurrection, sinners can be forgiven, restored to God, and made whole in Him.

Send us Fan MailWhat if Jesus was bad at starting a religion because he was never trying to build a machine?In this sermon, Pastor Dan Minor reminds us that Jesus did not come with a five-year plan, a brand strategy, a headquarters, or a hustle-culture blueprint. He came with twelve friends. He came with dinners, stories, weddings, walks, children, bread, wine, and the unhurried work of connection.At Harvest Sarasota, we are not trying to build a church that runs people over in the name of results. We are trying to follow the way of Jesus, where belonging comes before mission, connection comes before service, and people matter more than efficiency.Because things can grow and still be unhealthy. Things can work and still wound people. Things can look impressive and still have nothing to do with Christ.The kingdom of God is not a machine. It is a table. It is a community.

Send us Fan MailIn this Pentecost Sunday sermon, Pastor Stan Mitchell invites us into one of the most tender and disruptive moments in the resurrection story: Jesus telling Mary Magdalene, “Don't hold on to me.”For anyone who has ever lost the Jesus they once knew, this message offers a startling word of hope. Maybe losing an old understanding of Christ is not the failure of faith. Maybe it is faith growing up. Maybe Jesus is always lovingly uncurling our fingers from the version of him we have clung to, not because he is leaving us, but because Spirit is leading us into a larger, freer, more inclusive revelation of who Christ is.Pentecost reminds us that Jesus does not ask to be preserved in the past. He keeps returning in new ways, expanding our consciousness, disrupting our certainty, and inviting us to stop clinging so tightly to what we have known, so we can receive what love is revealing next.#HarvestSarasota #PastorStanMitchell #ProgressiveChristianity #Pentecost #Eastertide #Deconstruction #FaithAfterCertainty #StillChristian #StillPentecostal #MaryMagdalene #ResurrectionHope #InclusiveChurch #LGBTQAffirmingChurch #SpiritualReconstruction #TheChristWhoReturns #ProgressiveFaith #FaithJourney #GodCallsYourName Support the showHarvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Holy Spirit spoken word, tongues and interpretation, to Harvest Church of God, "This day I send My Word to you and I woo you as a loving Savior. I call you because I know where you've been. I know the failures and I know the past. I know how the enemy has found success in you because you've allowed him to find success in you. But this day I send My Word to you that you can begin again after, after your shortcomings, after your failures, after your embarrassment, you can begin again. For I wait for you says the Lord to touch you and to make this season of your life even greater than the seasons before, if you will simply come to Me and let Me restore you and revive you says the Lord." "As the enemy mocked Samson so does your enemy mock you. But in the day of his petition and his cry to Me, the mocking stopped. This day I say to you I will touch you, I will revive you, and I will hush the mockery of your enemy, come unto Me and let Me restore you says the Lord of hosts."

Glorifying God in Every Season (1 Corinthians 7:1-10) by Harvest Church

What does authentic Christian community actually look like in a world marked by loneliness, division, and self-centered living? In Acts 2, we see the birth of the first local church—and discover a Spirit-filled community radically shaped by devotion to Jesus and love for one another. In this message, Pastor Curtis walks through Acts 2:42–47 and explores four characteristics of a healthy church community: a learning church, a loving church, a worshipping church, and an evangelistic church. As modern culture grows increasingly disconnected, Scripture gives us a vision for genuine community rooted in truth, sacrifice, worship, and Gospel witness. After Pentecost, thousands turned to Christ and publicly identified with Him through baptism. But their new life in Jesus did not stop at conversion. Luke gives us a picture of what happened next: believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, cared for one another sacrificially, worshipped God with glad hearts, and boldly lived as witnesses to the saving work of Christ. This passage reminds us that healthy Christian community is not built on convenience or personal preference, but on devotion—to God's Word, to one another, and to the mission of Jesus. In an age increasingly shaped by artificial connection and distorted truth, the church is called to offer something real: authentic relationships, genuine love, and the unchanging truth of the Gospel. Most importantly, this message points us to Jesus Christ—the One who gave Himself for us so that we could be forgiven, made new, and brought into the family of God. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus removes our sin, guilt, and shame, and calls us into a new way of life marked by devotion, worship, and love for others. We'd love to invite you to join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande as we grow together in God's Word, worship Jesus, and walk in authentic Christian community. Whether you've followed Christ for years or are simply exploring faith, there's a place for you here. Join us Sundays at 9am & 11am. For more information, visit www.agharvest.org.

Union with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:12-20) by Harvest Church

In Acts 2, Peter stands before the crowds in Jerusalem and boldly declares that Jesus is both Lord and Christ. The same Jesus who was crucified has risen from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and now calls people everywhere to repent, believe, and publicly identify with Him. This message confronts every heart with the same question: What is keeping you from bowing the knee to Jesus? Whether you've resisted surrendering an area of your life to God, struggled with doubt, or kept your faith private and comfortable, this passage reminds us that following Jesus is more than intellectual agreement. Christ calls us to repentance, obedience, and wholehearted submission to His rule and reign. The good news is that His kingship is not oppressive—it is good, life-giving, and full of mercy for all who call upon His name. In this verse-by-verse study of Acts 2:22–41, Curtis Henry walks through Peter's sermon at Pentecost and the birth of the Church's witness in Jerusalem. Peter first proclaims the truth about Jesus: that His miracles authenticated Him as the Messiah, His crucifixion happened according to God's sovereign plan, and His resurrection proved that death could not hold Him. Peter then turns to the Scriptures, showing how King David prophetically pointed forward to the resurrection and exaltation of Christ. Finally, the sermon culminates in a clear invitation: repent, be baptized, and publicly identify with Jesus as Lord and Savior. This passage points us directly to the hope of the gospel. Jesus Christ died for sinners, rose again in victory, and now offers forgiveness and new life to all who trust in Him. Repentance is not merely feeling bad for sin—it is a change of mind that leads to surrendering ourselves to Christ. Baptism becomes the outward declaration that we now belong to Jesus and His Kingdom. We'd love to invite you to join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande as we grow together in God's Word, worship Jesus, and build authentic Christian community. Whether you're exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for a church family committed to Scripture-centered teaching, we would love to welcome you. Service times: Sundays at 9am & 11am. Harvest Church is committed to Bible teaching, expository preaching, and verse-by-verse study through the Scriptures so people can grow in following Jesus and living under His lordship.
