Behind every immaculately trimmed lawn and hidden trash can in the city's finest subdivision is a wonderful thing called an HOA covenant. They keep cars from parking on the street and make sure all house modifications fit the theme of the neighborhood, but they sure keep things looking great! Today, Pastor Mark teaches that many believers treat tithing like paying HOA dues and expect church membership to keep them looking nice on the inside. However, the reality is that the outside of your house can look clean while the inside is a mess. Only a relationship with Jesus can get your house in order.

It's so easy to take our food for granted. If you think about the quickest meal you can probably get – a McDonald's cheeseburger – consider how long it took to be created. The cow for the patty had to grow for several years, as did the wheat for the bun. The lettuce, tomato, and onion didn't just appear overnight! In today's message, Pastor Mark isn't talking about burgers, but he will teach you that spiritual growth takes time. As seeds are planted and watered, one day, enough spiritual formation happens that the results are completely unrecognizable from the initial seed. Transformation is a slow, daily process.

The gospel holds the power to completely transform a person's life, but only if the condition of their heart is ready to receive it. Today on Bold Steps Minute, Pastor Mark shares how real life change begins with soft, open soil in your soul.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://give.moodyradio.org/bsj?appeal=podcast&utm_source=bsm_podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_term=radioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In society, there are all kinds of false gods and idols. Whether it's social justice issues, sports, food, or social media… all of them can become gods that separate us from the one true God. They creep in and steal our attention, drawing us away from Jesus. It's often said that if the devil can't get your heart, he will make you busy. In today's message, Pastor Mark teaches that Paul sets an example for all of us. He didn't just sit idly by while these things captured the heart of those around him. He stood up boldly and challenged people to turn to God. Will you follow suit? Will you stand firm in your faith and point people towards Jesus?

People used to walk miles…not steps, not just to the other room, but miles just to read the Word of God and fact-check what they heard to what God said. That is unheard of in today's society. More often than not, people just take what they hear and either forget about it or take it with the accountability of a person. In today's message, Pastor Mark will challenge you…how often do you read your Bible? At what lengths are you willing to go to just to make sure you are in right standing with God? Do you spend more time on your phone than you do in the Bible? You can take that step today, make being in the Scripture your #1 priority!

God works in ways that are incomprehensible to our minds. But He gave us His word, the living Bible, to be able to understand a sliver of what He has done, is doing, and even will do! The Bible is a way for us to accept the unknown and learn to trust God because He has proven trustworthy over and over again! In today's message, Pastor Mark will invite you to fact-check everything you come across in the Bible. Whether you're making a simple choice or receiving advice or guidance from pastors, check if it aligns with what God has clearly said and stated in HIS Word! The Bible is applicable today…use it!!!

How do we find real healing for the wounds of life? ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn Part 1 of the Heal Me series, Pastor Mark Stermer reminds us that being a Christian does not mean we avoid suffering, but it does mean we have a hope greater than ourselves. Too often people search for healing in the wrong places, when true healing can only be found by looking upward—to Jesus Christ, our firm foundation. God always brings His people through their darkest valleys, and He wants to do the same for us today. If you've been carrying trauma, pain, or brokenness, there is hope and healing in Jesus—because He is enough.ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-pathsWHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

We have journeyed through 1st and 2nd Corinthians together.  Sunday, September 7th, we look at the paradoxes of the Gospel.  Paul highlights several paradoxes: joy in sorrow, strength in weakness, life in death, generosity in poverty... for we have heard and now know, and trust experience that in Christ, life is lived with greater freedom, glory, and boldness.

Some people get excited about God but fall away when life gets tough. Today on Bold Steps Minute, Pastor Mark talks about how shallow roots can't withstand pressure, deep faith is grown through endurance.Become a Bold Partner Today: https://give.moodyradio.org/bsj?appeal=podcast&utm_source=bsm_podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_term=radioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message from the "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" series, Pastor Mark explores what it truly means to love our neighbor in today's world. While we cerebrally know that our neighbor is everyone we encounter, do our lives actually reflect this truth? Drawing from Luke 10 and our church's mission to "reach every neighborhood," this sermon challenges common excuses (being too comfortable, busy, afraid, or proud) that prevent us from moving toward others. The message provides practical steps for identifying our neighborhoods (wherever God has placed us) and our neighbors (the people in those places), encouraging us to move beyond building walls around comfortable communities to actively inviting others in. This is a call to be known, present, involved, helpful, and open as we follow Christ's example of moving toward us first.

Every person, family, and church needs core values that guide their decisions and shape their future. In this kickoff message from our This Is Us series, Pastor Mark unpacks why values matter, how Daniel and his friends lived theirs out in the face of cultural pressure, and how we can stand strong in our faith today. Discover how to pre-decide your values, walk faithfully with God, and trust Him to walk with you even through the fire.

In this message, Pastor Mark Butler encourages the church to recognize that God has a plan, a purpose, and an expected end for every believer. Teaching from Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 5, he outlines three key prayers: Lord, what I don't see—show me. What I don't know—teach me. What You've prepared—prepare me. Pastor Mark emphasizes the importance of maintaining a Spirit-filled life, walking in unity, and staying strong in faith as the church faces both opportunities and challenges. He reminds us that Harvest Bible Church must be spiritually healthy and ready, so we can finish our course with joy and fulfill God's vision together.

Pastor Mark encouraged us using the garden theme and the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23, to examine ourselves to see how we are tending the garden of our lives.  Is it beautiful and pristine or full of weeds and overgrown with the cares of the world or somewhere in between?  May we pray and allow the Spirit to help us clean up the areas of our lives so that it would be a garden the Father would walk with us in the cool of the day.

Discover how God shows himself as both covenant maker and covenant keeper in Genesis 15. Pastor Mark unpacks Abraham's doubts, God's unbreakable promises, and how Christ fulfills the covenant once and for all. A message of grace, assurance, and hope in Christ alone.

Pastor Mark answers questions from Elijah, Israel, Lydia, Tim, and Lucas..This is the BIG QUESTION, where we do our best to answer questions from young disciples at Grace, and to be at peace with the mysteries that we can't explain.

In today's message, “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” from John 11:17–25, Pastor Mark continues our Portraits of Christ series by reminding us that Jesus is not only the giver of life but also the conqueror of death. As He speaks these words to Martha at the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus declares that hope is found in Him alone—both for today and for eternity. We'll learn about living vs. simply existing as we are reminded that Jesus is the living God.

Mark continues his study in the book of 2nd Timothy today with a message titled, The Life Changing Power of Your Words. Under couch cushions and in the corners of storage closets everywhere in America you’ll find little wooden squares with letters on them. Of course, I’m referring to the pieces belonging to the board game… Scrabble. And since we’re talking about words on the broadcast today, I thought we’d point out some interested facts about one of the most popular board games in history. It was invented in 1931 and today the game is sold in 121 countries and 31 languages. The power of words!

Whether you're already a Christian or still on the fence, God has amazing things in store for you! Look to God in awe, in patient expectation of what He IS going to do in your life, and He will show up! Simply keeping your eyes on the Lord and trusting He has complete control over your life will bring rest! In today's message, Pastor Mark will encourage you to worship, to focus on the good God has done in the trial! While you wait for the storm to pass, worship the Lord! It can be difficult to center yourself and trust God while everything is going wrong. But God is faithful, and He will be with you through your storm!

No matter what it is we may be facing, whether anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts, worship is our best option. Worship will always be our way out of darkness and a winning weapon against the devil. Praising God even in our struggles will literally drive satan away in fear of who our God is! In today's message, Pastor Mark will recognize that stress, anxiety, and depression are all very real aspects of the human experience. But you serve a gracious and powerful God that the devil fears. Acknowledge the goodness of God and thank Him in the midst of your suffering, and watch the devil flee!!!

We need to know our sin so that we can fight our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Mark walks through Romans 7:7-25 to see how we grow to know our sin and make war on it so that we can grow as followers of Christ. Preached on September 3, 2025.

It's almost unthinkable to sing, to praise God, to worship in the midst of our suffering. Life can be really hard sometimes. It was really hard for Paul and Silas, and yet they found the strength to thank God with their voices, despite their circumstances. Despite the agony they were experiencing. In today's message, Pastor Mark will show you how God is that strength. God is your strength when you are hanging on by a thread. Maybe that's you today, maybe you need a miracle, you need supernatural power to continue on..God will be that. God is for you and He is with you, ready to comfort and support you in all areas!

Spiritual warfare is a very real thing we face in today's day and age. The devil uses everything and anything he can get his hands on to pull you away from God and the things of God. Distractions, such as screaming kids, busy schedules with no time to relax, are all meant to stress you out and drag you from God. In today's message, Pastor Mark will share that, as real as those battles are, God has a way out! There is hope to endure life; simply ask God to give you patience, rest, and strength. He may not provide an immediate way out, but He will give you or be everything you need to endure your struggles!

In today's message, Pastor Mark shares about the missionary journey that Paul and his companions took. One remarkable thing about their journey was that as they sailed by ship across the sea, they were able to take a straight course. This really was noteworthy because typically, the wind direction would work against them, but on this particular voyage, it was exactly what they needed. Have you ever stepped out in faith to do something that God was calling you to do? It might not always be smooth sailing, but when God wants you to do something, He will make a way. If God is calling you to step out in faith, then He will equip you.

Pastor Mark expounds on Psalm 27 which is read every day during the month of Elul leading up to Yom Kippur.  During this season of repentance, it is a great Psalm to read for introspection each day. 

The word “Unforced” speaks of something that feels natural or effortless. It is made from the prefix “un,” which means “not,” and the word “force” which refers to pressure. Pressure is what one experiences when they feel obligated. Therefore, the word unforced means not pressurized or without obligation, no exertion necessary. The definition of this word perfectly captures the kind of relationship God desires with every single one of His children. He desires a relationship that is exempt from pressure, exertion, and obligation.  He desires an unforced relationship.

Life is FULL of decisions. Every day, we have to decide what we want to eat, what clothes to wear… and those are just a couple of the choices we have to make. There's also plenty of BIG decisions in life; where to live, what career path to follow, who to marry… Pastor Mark encourages you in his message today to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit so that you can know which way God is leading you. Not every option is pleasing to God, and sometimes the right choice is the most difficult one. The important thing is to ask God and allow Him to lead you; You never know, He may lead you in a direction you never expected.
