Pastor Dan preached that Christ alone is the believer's strength, confidence, and sufficiency. From Colossians 2:1–10, he warned against false teachers who distract from Christ and burden people with manmade traditions, urging the church instead to stay rooted, built up, and thankful in Jesus—because in Him “the whole fullness of deity dwells,” and He is all we need. His call was simple and strong: cling to Christ alone and reject every teaching that shifts your focus from Him. #ChristAlone #RootedInChrist #StandFirmInTheFaith #ThankfulInChrist

Pastor Dan has an important question for you to ask yourself today.  When people look at your life, do they see everything pointing to Jesus?  Can they see your love and devotion to your Savior through your actions, words, and choices? Is He at the forefront of everything you do and at the core of who you are? If not, maybe it's time to make some changes. Jesus died for you and gave you new life. You're not obligated, but privileged to lead others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and your life speaks volumes. 

Joshua 9 - How to Make Good Decisions - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1430.pdf

Pastor Al & Pastor Dan talk about the intense load that finances bring to the ministry. They also deal with the "peer pressure" of comparing your own preaching with the preaching and the results which other preachers seem to have.

It's an interesting study to look at all the names of people in the New Testament.  Some of them appear over and over, and are well known.  But there are others who only show up once, and no details about their lives are given.  Today, Pastor Dan talks about one of his favorites: a man named Tertius*.  He was the scribe who wrote the entire book of Romans as Paul dictated.  Your job may be to write a sermon.  Or, it may be simply to type it up for the pastor.  No matter, God acknowledges all labor for Him.

When people hear about you, or your Christian small group, or your church, what do they think of?  What are you known for?  Today, Pastor Dan marvels at the early church in Rome.  Though it was made up of all kinds of people, from every social class in Rome, including both Jews and Gentiles, it was known for its faith and obedience.  Not that being multi-cultural wasn't important.  It just wasn't the most important thing.  So, be sure that faith and obedience are foremost in your Christian witness, too.

Sometimes when our lives feel like a dark storm we can feel like just giving up, but God is our light and is there for us. Pastor Dan reminds us that God is not just the source of the promise but the only one who can fulfill that promise!

Acts 16:25-34 | 11.09.2025

Pastor Dan reflects on prayer and the biblical stories of Jacob and Joseph (Genesis 32–50 and Hebrews 11) to show how God turns our weaknesses and wounds into blessings and new identity. Through metaphor, scripture, and personal testimony, the episode encourages leaning into dependence on God, practicing regular prayer, forgiving others, and trusting that God can graft a new, redemptive story from our brokenness.

Pastor Dan reminded us from Colossians 3:12–17 that the new life we have in Christ is marked by grace, love, peace, truth, and thankfulness. He emphasized that believers are called to put on godly character, let Christ's peace rule their hearts, allow His Word to dwell richly, and do everything in His name with gratitude. The heartbeat of the message was simple: a transformed life should continually reflect Christ—and be thankful. #Colossians3 #NewLifeInChrist #Gratitude #ChristianLiving #ThankfulHeart #PastorDan #SundaySermon #calvarytilton

What does it take to have a united church?  Is it that everyone has the same likes and dislikes?  Maybe it's that they're all from the same socio-economic class?  Or is it something more fundamental?  Today, Pastor Dan takes an in-depth look at the closing verses of Romans Sixteen and notes the true source of unity.  It's the pure gospel of Jesus Christ, as Paul proclaimed it, nothing more, nothing less.  You can have real, meaningful fellowship with other Christians when you make that your sole criterion.

Claire reads from John 15:5-17 and Pastor Dan Foster speaks of there being no greater love at Pembury Baptist Church on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November 2025.

Pastor Dan talks about how the church is blessed when we all use our God-given talents and abilities to serve God and each other. Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.

2025-11-09 AM - A Loving Mission & Incredible Miracle - Matthew 28:1-4 - Pastor Dan Brabson

One of the most interesting lists of people you'll find in the Bible comes in the last chapter of the book of Romans.  At first, they may just seem like a lot of hard-to-pronounce names.  But not after Pastor Dan gets through with them!  You'll hear, from every name, some back story about that person.  Some of them are minor, while others are amazing demonstrations of the power of the gospel.  Your name may not be known in the world today.  And, it's too late to get it into the Bible.  But… It's known in heaven.

When you look at the history of just about any civilization, you'll find that they almost always have some type of social division.  It may be based on wealth or status, or on some personal characteristic, but it's a clear way to divide people into groups.  Today, Pastor Dan explains that first-century Roman society had very strictly defined divisions.  And yet the Christians crossed all of those barriers because of their unity in Jesus.  When you are in Christ, every Christian is your brother or sister.  Period.

Responding to God's Self-Revelation: Worshiping Through the Seasons of Life God reveals Himself to humanity so that we would rightly respond to Him in worship. Romans 12:1 expresses Paul's heart that all of life should be seen as worship. We naturally ask, so what does it look like to 'treasure Christ in all of life?' Practical help for growing as worshipers in the ordinariness of daily life.

One of the characteristics of the letters of the apostle Paul was his numerous personal references.  And if you just read through the names, they may not seem very important.  But today, Pastor Dan expounds upon the many, many names in the last chapter of the book of Romans.  And one of the most important is Phoebe*, who actually carried this letter all the way from Corinth to Rome.  God may sometimes give you seemingly obscure or unimportant jobs.  But nothing He gives you is insignificant in His plan.

There's a common practice in corporate America for companies to place motivational phrases or inspirational words on the walls of their offices. You may walk into a gym and be greeted by a mural of the word “Determination.” Or maybe your job has a sign in the breakroom that says, “Work hard and be kind.” In today's message, Pastor Dan encourages you to find a verse that stands out to you – something that reflects what God has called you to do – so that you have a piece of scripture to motivate you to fulfill your calling.

Acts 16:16-24 | 11.02.2025

So often, we cower down from sharing the Gospel with those around us because of our own insecurities. “What if I stumble over my words?” “What if I can't answer their questions?” “What if my mind goes blank?” In today's message, Pastor Dan encourages you to go and start those conversations anyway, because the power doesn't come from you… It doesn't come from how eloquent your speech is or how confidently you talk. The power comes from the Gospel and what Jesus did on the cross.

Joshua 8:1-29 - How to Possess My Future - Pastor Dan Plourde

Romans 12:14-21

An important message about the sharing the Gospel with Pastor Dan

After emphasising that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ and not by works of the law, Paul made clear that our freedom in Christ should not lead us to sin. Rather, as we walk in the Spirit we grow spiritual fruit rather than do the works of the flesh. In Chapter 6, he explains how to restore a brother who has fallen into sin and how in caring for one another we sow spiritual seed to reap a harvest of eternal life. Pastor Dan teaches through he end of Galatians 6 in this sermon.

Pastor Dan walked through Nehemiah 9, highlighting God's covenant faithfulness to Israel despite their repeated rebellion. He emphasized that the Lord is gracious, merciful, and patient—never abandoning His people but continually calling them back to Himself for restoration. The call to us is to remember His grace, repent of coldness, and renew our walk with Christ. #Nehemiah9 #GodsGrace #CovenantFaithfulness #RepentAndReturn #CalvaryTilton #ScriptureFirst #SoliDeoGloria

When service members of the military go in for training, they practice many things. They practice escaping from helicopters that have landed in water and hitting targets from hundreds of yards away. While they may not use these skills in their day-to-day, they practice them so when the adrenaline hits, their muscle memory kicks in. Today, Pastor Dan teaches that when God presents you with an opportunity to share the Gospel, you're not going in blind. You've been equipped and trained by the Holy Spirit.

Today's culture places such a heavy emphasis on the “ists.” Everyone is labeled as a racist, misogynist, a Zionist, a communist, a fascist… You name it. Society sees our differences and seeks to drive a wedge further between them. In contrast, as Pastor Dan will teach today, God sees what's similar. He sees that we are all broken, yet He loves us anyway. You may not have the same history as your neighbor, but your story is the same. You are broken, but Jesus died for you, and now you can be made whole.

Acts 16:6-15 | 10.26.2025

Pastor Dan's message from James 1:5–8 and Proverbs 8 emphasized that true wisdom begins with God Himself—the Creator who established the world by His understanding. He explained that biblical wisdom is not mere intelligence, but the ability to live righteously before God and others. God's wisdom enables believers to make sound decisions, lead their families well, and find favor with Him. Pastor Dan concluded by showing that Jesus is the ultimate expression of God's wisdom, the solid foundation on which every life must be built for both spiritual success and salvation.#CalvaryTilton #SundayMessage #WisdomOfGod #James1 #Proverbs8 #FaithInAction #JesusOurRock

Pastor Dan explores Matthew 25's parable of the ten virgins to show that the real issue is not lamps but the oil of daily prayer. Drawing on his renewal leave, the stories of Daniel and the wedding at Cana, he encourages listeners to practice regular, focused prayer—uncluttered and rhythmic—to recognize Jesus' voice and be ready for his coming. Through personal reflection and biblical examples, the sermon invites believers to relax, spend intentional time with God, and cultivate a consistent prayer life that fuels spiritual readiness and authentic witness.

Send us a textWe've named the harm. We've pulled down the old house. Now it's time to plant again.In this follow-up to “The Seeds Were Good, The Soil Was Sick,” Pastor Dan wrestles with two haunting lines from Spencer LaJoye's song “Plowshare Prayer”:“I pray that you are heard. I pray that this works.”This episode is for anyone who's ever whispered that same prayer while stepping into something new — hoping this time will be different.Here, faith looks less like certainty and more like courage. It's dipping your toes into rushing water before it parts. It's casting your net again after years of disappointment. It's believing that the soil of love, inclusion, and honesty can grow what the soil of fear and shame never could.#HarvestSarasota #IPrayThatThisWorks #HeardAndHealed #FaithAfterDeconstruction #NewSoilNewFaith #LoveOverFear #InclusiveChurch #GoAllIn #ReconstructTheGood #FromHarmToHealing #SpencerLaJoye #PlowsharePrayer #BetterSoil Harvest 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
