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.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. We’re continuing our series in the book of James, True Religion: The Book of James. Today, Pastor Jeff Bucknam brings a message from James 1:9–11 titled “The Rich Poor and the Poor Rich.”

We live in a world where wealth promises security, comfort, and happiness—but James flips that upside down. In God’s kingdom, the poor are rich, and the rich can be poor. What truly matters isn’t the size of your bank account, but where your hope is anchored. Let’s listen together.

Welcome to the Harvest podcast. This weekend, we begin a brand-new series in the Book of James called True Religion. In the opening verses, James wastes no time—he goes straight to one of the hardest and most important parts of following Jesus: how we face trials.

Pastor Jeff Bucknam opens God’s Word in James 1:1–4 and reminds us that trouble will come, but trials are not meaningless. In God’s hands, they shape our faith, strengthen our perseverance, and form us into the likeness of Christ.

This message, Here Comes Trouble, will challenge you to think differently about suffering and to see how God is at work—even in the hardest moments of life.

Let’s listen in.
