Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. Today, we come to the final message in our series through the Book of James—True Religion. We’ve spent weeks looking at what genuine faith looks like in real life, and now, as we close, James gives us a sobering and hopeful word about “the wanderer.”

From James 5:19–20, Pastor Jeff Bucknam will help us wrestle with a vital question: What should we think and do when someone drifts from the truth? We’ll consider the problem of wandering, the danger it brings, and the loving calling of God’s people to seek the wanderer out.

Here’s Pastor Jeff with this weekend’s message: “What About the Wanderer?”

Welcome back to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. Today we’re continuing our series True Religion as we look at one of the most hope-filled passages in the book of James—chapter 5, verses 13–18. In these final words of the letter, James gives us a simple but profound call: pray. Pray in suffering, pray in joy, pray in sickness, pray for one another—because God hears and God moves.

In this message, we’ll explore what it means to pray authentically, pray expectantly, and pray fervently, trusting the same God who answered Elijah’s bold prayers to work powerfully in our lives today.

Let’s dive in.

In this week’s message from our True Religion series, we turn to James 5:7–12—a passage that speaks directly to anyone who’s weary, waiting, or walking through hardship. In “Just You Wait,” we’re reminded that God’s justice is certain and His purposes never fail. James calls us to a patient, steadfast faith: to trust God’s timing, to endure with hope, and to remember that every trial has a purpose in His hands.

Let’s lean in together as we learn what it means to wait well and stand firm.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. Today, we continue our series True Religion: The Book of James with a message from Pastor Jeff Bucknam titled “Attacks on the Rich,” from James 5:1–6.

James confronts one of the most powerful idols of every age—money—and exposes the danger of trusting in wealth instead of in God. Pastor Jeff walks us through why James speaks so strongly, what the rich in this passage were doing wrong, and what it means for us as followers of Jesus today.

Let’s listen in to this timely and challenging message.

Who are we to judge—or to think we know what tomorrow will bring?

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast.

Today, Pastor Jeff Bucknam continues our series True Religion: The Book of James with a message called “The Fight Behind Our Fights.”

From James 4:1–10, we’ll see that our conflicts with others reveal a deeper battle within — but God offers more grace when we humble ourselves and draw near to Him. Listen now.

What kind of wisdom shapes your life—the kind that seeks your own way, or the kind that comes from above? In this message from James 3:13–18, Pastor Jeff Thompson unpacks the difference as we continue our True Religion series, discovering that true wisdom is seen not in words, but in works that bring peace. 

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast! We’re continuing in our series True Religion: The Book of James—a powerful look at what genuine faith looks like in everyday life.

This weekend’s message, “Watch Your Mouth,” from James 3:1–12, reminds us just how much our words matter. Pastor Tommy Creutz teaches that our tongues hold incredible power—they can build up or destroy, bring healing or harm, reveal faith or foolishness.

Let’s listen together and ask the Lord to help us use our words to honor Him and reflect hearts transformed by His grace.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. We're in the series True Religion from the Book of James. This weekend, Pastor Jeff Bucknam opens to James 2:14-26 in our series True Religion: The Book of James with a message titled “Alone, But Not Alone.”

James 2:14–26 reminds us that while we are saved by grace through faith alone, true faith is never alone. We are not made right with God by our works, but genuine faith produces visible fruit.

As you watch and listen, pray for a fresh reminder of the power of the Gospel and its transforming work in our lives. May we utterly changed by who God is and what He has done for us in Christ Jesus!

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. We're in the series True Religion from the Book of James.

This weekend, Pastor Christian Constante continues our series True Religion: The Book of James with a message titled “The Inconsistency of Partiality” from James 2:1–13.

Faith in Jesus leaves no room for favoritism. James challenges us to examine how we view and treat others—reminding us that showing partiality contradicts the very heart of the gospel. True faith looks beyond appearance, status, or influence and honors people the way God does.

As you watch and listen, ask the Lord to align your heart with His kingdom priorities. May we be a people who extend mercy, reflect His character, and live as those judged by the law of liberty…where mercy triumphs over judgment.
