The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (30) – New Testament
Lazarus – Come Out and Live!
Sunday, October 18, 2026

What happens when Jesus calls you out of the very thing that held you captive? In this powerful message from our series The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, discover the story of Lazarus and the life changing power of Jesus to bring hope, freedom, and new life.

Through John 11–12, we are reminded that difficult circumstances do not change God's love for us. Even when we don't understand what He is doing, we can trust His heart. When Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb, He demonstrated that no situation is beyond His power. And just as Lazarus was called out of the grave, Jesus calls us to leave behind the things that once held us and walk forward into the life He has for us.

In this message, we discover three powerful truths:

❤️ I AM LOVED — God's love for you hasn't changed, even when life becomes difficult. When you don't understand His hand, you can still trust His heart.

🔥 I AM CALLED — When Jesus calls you out, don't keep living like you're still in the grave. Take off the grave clothes, leave your past behind, and walk forward into the freedom He has for you.

🙌 I AM LIVING PROOF — Your changed life is a testimony of what Jesus can do. Don't spend your life only talking about what He brought you out of; live in what He brought you into and let your life point others to Him.

Remember: REMEMBER His love. REMOVE the grave clothes. REVEAL what Jesus has done.

Jesus calls us out of what held us, frees us from what bound us, and makes our lives living evidence of His power. No matter what your past looks like or what circumstances you're facing, His call is to move forward in faith and live in the new life He has given you.

Come out and live!

The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (31) – New Testament
Stephen – Faithful No Matter What
Sunday, October 25, 2026

What does it mean to remain faithful to Jesus no matter what you face? In this message from our series The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, discover the powerful example of Stephen, a man who remained faithful to God, fearless in standing for truth, and forgiving even in the face of persecution.

Through Stephen’s life in Acts 6–7, we are reminded that faithfulness begins in the small things, courage comes from the Holy Spirit, and forgiveness reflects the heart of Jesus. Stephen’s story challenges us to serve God wholeheartedly wherever He places us, stand firm in truth when it’s difficult, and refuse to let the actions of others change who we are in Christ.

In this message, we learn to be:

🔥 FAITHFUL — Serve God wholeheartedly, even when no one is watching.
🔥 FEARLESS — Stand for truth with your eyes fixed on Jesus.
🔥 FORGIVING — Don't allow someone else's wrongdoing to change your heart or steal your love.

Your life isn't measured by recognition, popularity, or how long you live, but by your faithfulness to Jesus. No matter what opposition you face or what others do to you, you can remain surrendered to the Holy Spirit and reflect the character of Christ.

Be faithful. Be fearless. Be forgiving. Be faithful no matter what!

Corporate Declarations | Mind • Mouth • Mood | Money | Mission

I will remain faithful and courageous through the power of the Holy Spirit. I will honor God faithfully with what He has entrusted to me. I will stand for truth, walk in forgiveness, and point others to Jesus.

Join us at Soul Harvest Worship Center as we grow together in God's Word and discover what it means to live faithfully for Christ.

KINGDOM CITIZENS (3) — Understanding Our Citizenship, Inheritance & Provision
Sermon Title: The King’s Economy — Faithful With What’s in Your Hand
Wednesday, October 21, 2026

What does it mean to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom when it comes to our finances, resources, time, and responsibilities?

In this third message of the KINGDOM CITIZENS series, we move from understanding who we are and why we're here to learning how to faithfully manage what the King has placed in our hands.

The Kingdom teaches us that God is the Owner, and we are the stewards.

Psalm 24:1 reminds us that the earth belongs to the Lord and everything in it belongs to Him. As Kingdom citizens, we are entrusted with resources that ultimately belong to our King. Our responsibility is to manage them with wisdom, integrity, gratitude, and faithfulness.

GOD IS THE OWNER; WE ARE THE STEWARDS

A steward manages something that belongs to someone else.

Deuteronomy 8:17–18 reminds us not to forget the Lord when we experience increase. It is God who gives us the ability to produce and obtain wealth.

Before making financial decisions, we can ask:

“Does this decision honor God and reflect faithful stewardship?”

FAITHFULNESS WITH LITTLE PREPARES US FOR GREATER RESPONSIBILITY

Jesus teaches in Luke 16 that faithfulness is not something we begin when we have more. Faithfulness is how we handle what we have right now.

It isn't about how much is in our hands. It is about the integrity with which we manage it.

Don't wait for more to become faithful.

Start with what's already in your hand.

KINGDOM STEWARDS PRACTICE GENEROSITY AND SOWING

Second Corinthians 9 reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver and is able to provide abundant grace so that we can have what we need for every good work.

A faithful Kingdom steward:

Manages wisely.
Gives generously.
Trusts God with the outcome.

Galatians 6:9 encourages us not to grow weary in doing good because there is a harvest in due season if we remain faithful.

THE KINGDOM STEWARDSHIP CHALLENGE

1. REVIEW — Examine what's in your hand.
Take an honest look at your finances, time, and responsibilities.

2. REORDER — Make one wise adjustment.
Choose one habit that will help you become a more faithful steward.

3. RELEASE — Be intentional about generosity.
Find one opportunity this week to give, serve, or bless someone.

It doesn't have to be something big.

Faithfulness begins with what we already have.

As Kingdom citizens, we are called to think, speak, and live as faithful stewards. We honor God with our first and our best, trust Him as our Source and Provider, and use what He places in our hands to advance His Kingdom.

What has God placed in your hand—and how will you faithfully steward it?

KINGDOM CITIZENS (2) — Understanding Our Citizenship, Inheritance & Provision
Sermon Title: The King’s Purpose — Blessed to Be a Blessing
Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Why has God blessed you? Kingdom citizenship comes with a Kingdom assignment! God’s blessings are not just about what He wants to give us, but also what He wants to accomplish through us.

In this second message of the KINGDOM CITIZENS series, we discover that our inheritance has a purpose. Through the life God has given us, the gifts He has entrusted to us, and the provision He supplies, we are called to represent our King and be a blessing to others.

Genesis 12:2 reminds us of God’s promise to Abraham: “I will bless you…and you will be a blessing.” This is the heart of Kingdom living, we are blessed so that others can experience God’s goodness through us.

EVERY KINGDOM CITIZEN HAS AN ASSIGNMENT

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do the good works He prepared for us. Our purpose is not simply to build our own lives, but to represent our King through the lives He has given us.

GOD GIVES US GIFTS TO BLESS OTHERS

Our gifts and abilities are not meant to be hidden or used only for ourselves. First Peter 4:10 calls us to use what we have received to serve one another as faithful stewards of God’s grace. We are called to develop our gifts, grow in skill, and use what God has placed in our hands to create value and serve others.

KINGDOM PROVISION IS CONNECTED TO KINGDOM PURPOSE

Second Corinthians 9:8 reminds us that God is able to supply abundant grace so that we have what we need for every good work. God is our Source and Provider, and His provision equips us to fulfill our Kingdom assignment. We are not blessed merely to accumulate, we are blessed to give, serve, encourage, and share His goodness with others.

THE KINGDOM PURPOSE CHALLENGE

1. Identify Your Assignment. Ask God to show you one person, responsibility, or opportunity where you can represent His Kingdom.

2. Develop Your Gift. Take one intentional step to grow in an ability God has given you.

3. Become a Blessing. Use your time, resources, encouragement, or abilities to bless someone this week.

You don’t have to wait until you have more to become a blessing. Start with what’s already in your hand.

As Kingdom citizens, let’s think, speak, and live with Kingdom purpose. Trust God as your Source, use His provision wisely, and faithfully fulfill the assignment He has given you.

You are blessed to be a blessing and equipped for your Kingdom assignment!

Sermon Title: The Power of Honor — A Culture of Honor
Pastor Simone Benoit | Pastor Appreciation Sunday

Honor isn’t an event, it’s a culture.

In this powerful message, Pastor Simone Benoit explores what it means to build a biblical culture of honor that recognizes the God given value in others and responds with love, appreciation, and respect.

Using Romans 12:10 as our foundation, we discover that honor goes beyond admiration, agreement, or words of appreciation. It is a way of living that reflects the heart of Jesus in how we treat people, speak about them, and respond when relationships are difficult.

THREE DIRECTIONS OF HONOR

Honor Up — Recognize the Weight Others Carry.
Learn to recognize and appreciate the prayer, preparation, sacrifice, and responsibility carried by those who faithfully lead and serve. What blesses us often costs someone else something.

Honor Across — Celebrate, Don’t Compete.
A culture of honor celebrates the gifts of others without comparison, competition, or insecurity. We can disagree without becoming disrespectful, and we don't have to diminish someone else to feel secure in what God has placed in us.

Honor Down — Value People Who Can Do Nothing for You.
Jesus welcomed those others overlooked. Kingdom honor recognizes the value God has placed in every person, regardless of their position, influence, or ability to give something in return.

But what happens when honor isn't returned? Through the example of David and Saul, we learn that we can maintain our character without retaliating, honor someone's humanity without excusing harmful behavior, and establish healthy boundaries without becoming dishonorable.

Honor does not require access. Forgiveness, boundaries, accountability, and honor can coexist.

Honor must also become visible. It sees value, speaks appreciation, and shows respect through action.

As we celebrate Pastor Appreciation, we are reminded to recognize the faithfulness, prayer, preparation, and sacrifice of our pastors, not just on one special Sunday, but as part of an ongoing culture of gratitude throughout the church family.

Our goal is to build a church where pastors feel appreciated, volunteers feel seen, children feel valued, people celebrate instead of compete, and disagreement does not become dishonor.

Honor isn’t just something we say. It’s something we practice.

May we become people who recognize value, express gratitude, and reflect the heart of Jesus in every relationship.

Citizens of the Kingdom – We Belong to Another Kingdom | Soul Harvest Worship Center

Sermon Series: KINGDOM CITIZENS (1) – Understanding Our Citizenship, Inheritance & Provision
Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2026

Who do you belong to? What does it mean to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom, and how should that change the way you view your identity, inheritance, and provision?

In this foundational message, “Citizens of the Kingdom, We Belong to Another Kingdom,” we discover that following Jesus means more than believing in Him. Through Christ, we have been transferred into His Kingdom, welcomed into God's household, and given the identity of His children and heirs.

Drawing from Philippians 3:20, Matthew 16:18–19, Ephesians 2:19, and Romans 8:16–17, this message reveals three foundational truths about Kingdom citizenship:

👑 1. JESUS IS A KING WITH A KINGDOM
Jesus didn't come merely to improve our lives, He came announcing the Kingdom of God. Through Christ, we have been delivered from the dominion of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of God's beloved Son. Our allegiance, identity, and way of living are now shaped by the rule and righteousness of our King.

🔥 2. JESUS ESTABLISHED HIS EKKLESIA
The Church is more than a building we attend; it is a people we are. As the King's ekklesia, we are called to represent His Kingdom, walk in His authority, and carry out His purposes on the earth.

👑 3. KINGDOM CITIZENSHIP COMES WITH AN INHERITANCE
We are no longer outsiders, strangers, or slaves. Through Christ, we are children of God and co-heirs with Jesus. Our inheritance includes salvation, grace, wisdom, the Holy Spirit, peace, righteousness, spiritual authority, God's promises, and the resources needed for His assignments.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:33 to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. We still work, plan, save, give, develop our gifts, and make wise decisions, but we do so with the confidence that we belong to the King, and our Heavenly Father knows what we need.

Kingdom wealth isn't about asking, “How can I get rich?” It's about asking, “How do I live as a faithful citizen and heir in the Kingdom of God?”

As Kingdom citizens, we are called to learn the King's ways, faithfully steward what He places in our hands, and use our resources for His purposes, not from fear, but from the confidence that our Father is our Source.

KINGDOM DECLARATIONS

🧠 Mind • Mouth • Mood: I think, speak, and live as a citizen of God's Kingdom.

💰 Money: My provision is under the Lordship of Jesus. I will learn the King's ways and faithfully steward everything He places in my hands.

🌎 Mission: I represent my King and use what He gives me for His purposes.

You belong to another Kingdom. You are a child of God, a citizen of Heaven, and an heir through Christ. Live like you know who your King is!

Martha & Mary of Bethany – Choosing What Matters Most
Speaker: Pastor Verna DeHart
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
Series: The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (29) – New Testament

Are you so busy doing things for Jesus that you’re missing time with Jesus? In this powerful message, Pastor Verna DeHart explores the story of Martha and Mary of Bethany and reminds us to focus on what matters most: our relationship with Him.

Through three simple but life, changing words—SIT • TRUST • POUR—we discover how to live with greater faith, purpose, and devotion.

SIT: In Luke 10:38–42, Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His teaching, while Martha became distracted by serving. We are reminded that His presence must come before performance. Our service should flow from time spent with Him, not replace it.

TRUST: In John 11, Martha and Mary faced the death of their brother Lazarus. Although Jesus did not arrive when they expected, He revealed Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. Delay doesn't mean absence. Even when we don't understand His timing, we can trust His heart and believe that He is still at work.

POUR: In John 12, Mary poured costly perfume on Jesus’ feet as an expression of extravagant love and worship. Her offering filled the house with fragrance, reminding us that when we give Jesus our very best, our worship can impact those around us.

This week, ask yourself: Am I making time to sit in His presence? What do I need to trust Him with? And what can I pour out before Him as an act of worship?

Don't become so busy doing life that you miss the One who gives you life. Choose God's presence over worry and distraction, trust Him when you don't understand, and worship Him with your whole life.

SIT. TRUST. POUR. Choose What Matters Most.

Thank you for listening to Soul Harvest Worship Center. Our heart is to host His presence and reach the world for Christ.

The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible (28) — New Testament
Sermon Title: Mary Magdalene — Delivered, Devoted, Sent
Sunday, September 27, 2026

What happens when Jesus transforms your life? Gratitude becomes devotion, and your story becomes a testimony that points others to Him.

In this message from The Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible, we explore the story of Mary Magdalene, a woman who was delivered by Jesus, remained devoted to Him, and was sent to share the news of His resurrection.

Mary's story reminds us that when Jesus truly changes your life, you never forget Who changed it.

DELIVERED: NEVER FORGET WHAT JESUS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF

Luke 8:1–3 tells us that Mary Magdalene had been delivered from seven demons. Her past was part of her story, but it did not have to become her identity.

Don't forget, but don't live there.

Our past can remind us of God's grace without determining our future. Remember what Jesus has brought you through, but keep following the One who brought you out.

Gratitude produces generosity.

DEVOTED: DEVOTION STAYS WHEN OTHERS WALK AWAY

Mary remained near Jesus through His crucifixion and stayed all the way to the tomb.

Even when she didn't understand what God was doing, she stayed.

Her story challenges us to ask: Will I follow Jesus when I don't understand? Is my devotion dependent on my circumstances?

Don't interpret God through one painful moment. Stay close to Jesus, even when you cannot yet see what He is doing.

SENT:  YOUR STORY CAN POINT SOMEONE TO JESUS

Mary came to the tomb grieving, but Jesus met her in her sorrow and called her by name: “Mary.”

She recognized her risen Lord, and Jesus sent her to tell the disciples what she had seen.

Mary's deepest sorrow became a testimony of the resurrection.

Jesus knows your name. Your story can point someone to Jesus.

Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic. It just needs to point to Him.

THREE WORDS TO REMEMBER

REMEMBER. Remember something Jesus has brought you through and thank Him.

STAY. When you don't understand what God is doing, don't pull away. Stay close to Jesus.

TELL. Tell someone something Jesus has done in your life.

Mary Magdalene's story is a powerful reminder that you can be Delivered. Devoted. Sent.

Remember. Stay. Tell.

MOVE – Faith Takes Action (4)
Sermon Title: Move Forward – Faith Refuses to Go Back
Wednesday, September 23, 2026

God didn't bring you this far to take you backward. When He says “Go forward,” faith refuses to let fear send it back.

In this fourth message of the MOVE, Faith Takes Action series, we continue the journey from taking the first step, to staying faithful, to leaving behind what cannot go forward. Now the challenge is clear: MOVE FORWARD.

The Israelites stood at the Red Sea with the past behind them and an impossible, looking obstacle in front of them. Fear made them want to return to Egypt, but God had already brought them out, and He was calling them forward.

Exodus 14:13–15 reminds us that there is a time to stand firm and trust God, but there is also a time when God says, “GO FORWARD!”

FAITH REFUSES TO GO BACK

Fear can make familiar bondage look safer than unfamiliar freedom. But God doesn't call us to keep returning to what He has already delivered us from.

Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us not to dwell on the former things because God is doing a new thing and making a way where there seems to be no way.

This message challenges us to stop romanticizing the past, stop revisiting what God has brought us through, and recognize that what's in front of us is greater than what's behind us.

Through the story of the Red Sea and the words of Philippians 3:13–14, we are reminded to:

• Forget what lies behind.
• Strain forward to what lies ahead.
• Press on toward God's calling.

You may not be where you want to be yet, but thank God, you're not where you used to be.

WHAT DOES FORWARD LOOK LIKE?

Moving forward may look different for each of us:

• Maintaining a healthy boundary.
• Refusing to revisit an offense you've already released.
• Continuing the financial discipline you've begun.
• Serving even when nobody applauds.
• Renewing your mind.
• Applying for the opportunity.
• Having the conversation.
• Forgiving.
• Starting again after a setback.
• Refusing to mentally return to what God has already brought you through.

Your step may feel small, but forward is forward.

You don't have to cross the entire wilderness tonight. Just obey God with what's in front of you.

Faith Takes Action. Faith Keeps Moving. Faith Leaves It Behind. And Faith Refuses to Go Back.

Wherever God is leading you, choose to trust Him, follow Him, and MOVE FORWARD.

Day of Atonement 5787 — The Power of the Blood: Entering the Year of the Sword
Sunday, September 20, 2026

As we enter 5787—the Year of the Sword,we are reminded that the Word of God must become the sword in our mouth. After a year focused on the mouth, God is calling us to fill our mouths with His Word, discern truth from deception, and stand firmly on what He has spoken.

In this powerful Day of Atonement message, we discover why we begin this new year by looking at the power of the blood of Jesus.

The Day of Atonement points us to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His blood provides complete redemption, cleansing, reconciliation, and access to the presence of God. We are not entering this new year from a place of condemnation, but from a place of redemption.

This message reveals three powerful truths about the blood:

• The Blood Removes What Sin Put Between Us and God — The blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin and guilt and gives us a new standing before God.

• The Blood Gives Us Access to the Presence of God — Through Jesus, the veil has been opened. The blood didn't simply bring us out of sin; it brought us into His presence.

• The Blood Gives Us Victory Over the Accuser — Revelation 12 reminds us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

As we connect the blood and the sword, we are reminded that the blood tells us whose we are, while the sword—the Word of God—teaches us how to stand.

The blood cleanses us. The Word renews us.
The blood gives us access. The Word gives us discernment.
The blood silences accusation. The Word exposes deception.

We don't enter 5787 afraid of spiritual warfare. We enter covered by the blood and armed with the Word.

As we move forward, we are challenged to:

Stay under the blood.
Live repentantly and respond quickly when the Holy Spirit convicts us.

Stay in the Word.
Read it, study it, memorize it, and speak it. You cannot wield a sword you never pick up.

Stay in His presence.
The blood opened the veil. Don't live outside the place Jesus died to give you access to.

This is a year to know the Word, speak the Word, and obey the Word.

You are entering this year covered by the blood and armed with the Word.
