  • How the Church Grows | Dr. Mike Vanlaningham

    Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're jumping into Acts 19:1–10 in our series, We Are All Witnesses, Part 4, where we see a clear picture of what makes a church fruitful.


    It’s not flashy programs or clever strategies—it’s faithful leaders who embody three key characteristics. In this passage, we'll see how true leaders teach people the truth, make the most of tough situations, persevere through difficulty, and train others to carry the mission forward. Let’s lean in and ask God to shape us into the kind of people who help His church thrive.

  • I Doubt It | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

    Welcome to the Easter weekend podcast from Harvest Bible Chapel. This week, we’re in John 20:24–29, walking through the story of a disappointed doubter turned bold believer. Maybe you’ve felt like Thomas—believing God would come through, only to watch your hopes fall apart. In this message, we’ll see how Jesus meets us in our doubts with grace and truth.

    We’re breaking the story into three parts:

    1. Disappointment-Driven Doubt – where our unmet expectations make belief feel impossible.

    2. The Provision of Proof – where Jesus steps in and gives Thomas exactly what he needs.

    3. Bold Belief – where doubt turns into worship, and belief becomes personal.

      Let’s listen in as we explore how God turns our deepest disappointments into bold declarations of faith.

    4. How to Develop a Leader | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

      Ever had someone tell you something you didn’t want to hear but absolutely needed to? I’ll never forget Kyle pulling me aside and saying, ‘Your breath is awful.’ Not what I wanted to hear—but I’m thankful he cared enough to say it. It’s that kind of truth in love that makes us better. It certainly made me better.

      In Acts 18, we meet Apollos—a gifted, passionate, powerful teacher who still needed some help. Thankfully, he got it—from friends who saw potential and stepped in with grace. Why should we care about this? Because the future of the church depends on the leaders we’re shaping today.

      So in this episode, we’re asking: What does it take to develop healthy, impactful Christian leaders? Here are three things we’ll explore:

      1. Developing leaders is a necessary work—because the mission goes on even when we’re gone.

      2. Developing leaders is a delicate work—because correction must be done with care.

      3. Developing leaders is a profitable work—because the investment pays off for generations.

        Let’s jump in.

      5. Persistenty Fruitful | Pastor Tommy Creutz

        In today’s episode, we’re diving into Acts 18:1-17 as we continue our journey through the Book of Acts in our series, We Are All Witnesses. This passage gives us a powerful look at the Apostle Paul’s time in Corinth—how he shared the gospel, faced opposition, and ultimately trusted in God’s sovereignty through it all.

        We’ll explore three key truths from this chapter:

        • How the gospel is shared with words (verses 1-5)
        • How discipleship inevitably brings hardship (verses 6-9)
        • And how God’s sovereignty drives our witness (verses 9-17)
        • No matter where you are in your faith journey, this episode will encourage you to boldly share your faith, trust God in difficulty, and rest in His ultimate control. Let’s dive in!

        • One Great Speech | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

          🎙️ Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel Podcast!

          Today, we're diving into one of the most powerful speeches ever delivered—Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill in Acts 17:22–31. Throughout history, some speeches have left an unforgettable mark—Luther’s bold declaration at the Diet of Worms, Churchill’s relentless call to courage during World War II, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspiring dream of justice and equality.

          Paul’s words at Mars Hill belong in that category. Paul passionately declared the truth about God to a diverse audience surrounded by idols and altars. What can we learn from his message?

          Today, we’ll explore five foundational truths Paul revealed about God’s nature and our response to Him. Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired by God’s Word.

        • Reaching Out Without Selling Out | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

          Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel sermon podcast! We’re diving into Acts 17:16–34, where Paul boldly presents the Gospel in the heart of a culture filled with idols and philosophies. As Dr. Jeff Bucknam puts it, “A passion for mission opens the door for heresy.”

          To share the Gospel effectively, we need the right motivation, a clear goal, and unwavering commitment to the truth. So, grab your Bible, open to Acts 17, and let’s grow together in God’s Word!

        • The Requirements for Real Followers | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

          What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

          In Luke 14:25–33, Jesus makes it clear—following Him isn’t a casual commitment. It’s a call to full allegiance, a choice that must be counted, and a path that must be finished. Jesus accepts nothing less than complete devotion. It’s all or nothing. Go big or go home.

          In this fifth message of our six-part series in Luke, we’ll unpack what it means to follow Jesus with clarity, conviction, and endurance. This is a challenge you won’t want to miss—listen now!
