Have you seen the banners at the east and west ends of town? Have you heard the buzz?? Monte Vista is Open For Business! Ken Hamko has a great story to tell about a grass roots movement that has taken the challenge to do what they can to help rejuvenate interest and business in our little town. And there's more to come from this citizen led and funded group. Listen to find out more.

Any discussion of "THE LAW OF GOD" brings with it a myriad of responses and debate. Was the law done away with and replaced by Christ? If not then which laws exactly do we still have to keep and which ones do we not? If there is no way to keep the law perfectly why even try? Didn't Paul say that we are not justified by the works of the law and didn't Jesus nail the law to the cross? Didn't God realize he made a mistake with the 1st law and repeal it?

While you may have your opinion already about this subject, it might serve you well to go through this series with us here at First Harvest Ministries to see it from ANOTHER ANGLE.

Yahweh (God) has 3 stages of Divine Discipline in which He deals with HIS SONS - not the world- but HIS SONS. If you have made a Covenant with God and call Him YOUR GOD - then you have given Him permission to WORK IN YOUR LIFE with these three stages of Divine Discipline. Because of the LOVINGKINDNESS of Yahweh we are many times SEDUCED BY HIS SILENCE, His seeming overlooking of SIN in THE CHURCH and our personal LIVES. However, in this sermon, Shane Vaughn of First Harvest Ministries opens the scriptures to show us the danger of being SEDUCED BY SILENCE.
