Harvest Church

Did you know that Jesus came to commission us to preach the gospel of the kingdom? It's not just the minimalized American gospel of getting to heaven some day. God wants to do more than just get you to heaven by the skin of your teethe. He wants to release heaven through you here on earth.

Our core value of kingdom can basically be divided into two primary expressions. 1. It's the sense that (assuming basic orthodoxy) we are all part of the body of Christ and could win our cities if we began to work and play together better. 2. The original commission of man to multiple, subdue, and rule over the earth has be reinstated and redeemed by Christ. Jesus even gave us a model for this in the Lord's prayer; Your will be done, you kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Another core value here at Harvest is Kingdom Excellence. This core value extends far beyond just the basic sense of doing a good job on a project. It's an overarching value that impacts literally every aspect of our lives.

Did you know that women were redeemed from the curse of Adam?  So, not only is the woman free from the subservient rule of man, but she is also free from striving for position and vying for his authority.  

One of the things that was impacted by the fall was the man's, and thus the world's, relationship with women.  Should women have a voice and be empowered to lead as they are gifted, or should they be subservient to men?  That's the question that we address in this week's podcast.  

Is poverty a supreme value in the kingdom?  Does God want you poor?  Does the bible say anything about money?  There are three primary areas that our lives can be broken in to;  Our relationship with God; our relationship with others; and the financial resources that one needs to do those two categories well.  Good news!  Jesus has covered all three areas.  Join us this week as we just barely break the ice on being redeemed from poverty.  

Did you know that Jesus included health and healing in His benefits package?  You have been redeemed from sickness!

Whatever pit you find yourself in today, Jesus has redeemed you from it. And if you keep messing up and falling back in, He isn't annoyed that He has to pull us out again. Instead, He washes us and cleanses us from all of the filth of iniquity, He heals us from any wounds we incurred in the fall, He crowns us with our identity, and lavishes His love upon us.
