At Harvest Fellowship we seek to encourage each other along this spiritual journey, each one toward a deepening relationship with God. Whether by great leaps or small steps of faith, we’re growing to understand the love and grace God has shown us in Christ. By emphasizing relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, and compassionate care for those in need, we strive to build a loving community that follows Christ, in order be “Real People, worshiping a Real God, experiencing Real Relationships that create Real Change” so that we are transformed into fully devoted followers of Christ.
So, whether you’re a spiritual seeker who is just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith deeper, you are welcome at Harvest Fellowship!

We believe Christianity is both simple and deep. The Gospel is simple enough to be received by a child but the depths cannot be fathomed by the wisest of men. Most of the Bible is easily understood which theologians call the perspecuity of Scripture. But there are many difficult passages and insights from Bible scholars throughout the ages are helpful in unlocking these difficulties. Here are a few papers to help us in understanding who God is and what His plan is for us. Please feel free to dialogue in the blog.

In a cell church, the Life Group is the most basic unit of the church body. Every activity and task, either directly or indirectly, exists to support the cell groups.
What is a Harvest Life Group? A Life Group is a group of 4 to 15 people who meet regularly for the purpose of encouraging each other to live a life that pleases God and to share the good news about Jesus Christ with others. Furthermore, the group is committed to participating in the larger church worship time. Here are the Life Group Leaders to view the Life Groups available for you to attend.
Agenda of a Life Group:Every Life Group has one primary agenda – to provide a safe place where lives can be transformed by the living God; A real God working through real relationships with real people to accomplish real change.
Dimensions of a Life Group: A life group has five dimensions (Acts 2:42, 47):
1. Bible Study – Helping each other live a life that pleases God as defined in His Word, the Bible
2. Fellowship – A safe place to share life
3. Worship – Calling attention to the greatness of God
4. Prayer – Talking to God in behalf of each other and ministering to each other
5. Outreach – Sharing with others the good news of Jesus Christ
What About the Sunday Morning Worship?Gathering together on Sunday to worship in a large group is important (Hebrews 10:25). Here we see the majesty of God – Jesus as our king. It also helps us see that we are part of a bigger community of believers. We gather together primarily to worship God and hear His Word preached. But the worship service by itself is incomplete. Being in a Life Group is just as important!! Here we see the closeness of God – Jesus as our brother. The goal of the Life Group is to help us experience Jesus up close and personal.

Everyone is on some kind of Spiritual Journey. Some are skeptical about God, the Church or the Bible. Others have questions about faith and are seeking answers. Some have recently become Christ-followers, while others have believed for a long time. Whether you’re just starting to ask questions about God, or church; or a committed Christian who is looking to go deeper in faith and fellowship, we hope you’ll find a home here at Harvest Fellowship! Below you will find the sermon title and Scripture for this Sunday.
Sunday Sermon Title:
Sunday, September 5
Sermon Text:
John 7: 14-31 (ESV)
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?”16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well?24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” 25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. 29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
