Harvest Baptist Church

Walk into a room where people actually believe God is good and you can feel it, it spills over in how they sing and how they serve. When you realize your life belongs to Him and He has been that good to you, sitting on the sidelines just doesn’t make sense anymore.

This Father's Day message challenged us to lead our families through the lens of Psalm 23. Our homes should be a place where our souls are restored, our instruction and correction is with grace, and our direction is Christlike.

Stand under a sky full of stars long enough and you start to feel how small you really are, but Psalm 8 doesn’t leave you there. The same God who set galaxies in place hasn’t overlooked you, He sees you, values you, and moved toward you in a way that changes everything.

Even the most committed believers can drift when they stop paying attention to their walk with God. Nehemiah 13 reminds us that faithfulness is not maintained by good intentions alone, but by continually returning to God's priorities.

This message shows what it looks like when God’s people step back and celebrate what He has done in their lives. When you recognize His faithfulness, it leads to joyful worship, grateful hearts, and real obedience.

Pastor Marc Likins

Real commitment to God is more than a feeling or a private decision. When God’s mercy changes us, it reshapes our priorities, our relationships, our schedule, our worship, and the way we use what He has given us.

God’s goodness does not push people away. It draws them back. Nehemiah 9 reminds us that no matter how far someone has fallen, God is merciful, ready to pardon, and able to restore broken people.

This sermon looks at the story of Elisha and the borrowed axe head to show how God can restore what seems completely lost. It also challenges the church to trust God, pray honestly, and keep moving forward when problems show up in the middle of progress.

In this episode, Pastor Marc points listeners back to the truth of God’s Word, the importance of faithful obedience, and the hope we have in Christ. This message challenges believers to examine their hearts, strengthen their faith, and live with a renewed commitment to following Jesus.

In this episode, Pastor Rousey walks through Nehemiah 8 and reminds us why God’s Word must be heard, understood, and obeyed. Through history, prophecy, and the response of Israel, this message points us back to the Bible as the firm foundation for faith, truth, and daily living.

It is exciting to see God do something big, but the real challenge is what comes next. This walks through how to lead, grow, and stay faithful when the work is finished but the mission is not.

Pastor Marc Likins - Jesus is not just offering life after death, He is offering a kind of life that changes you right now. Through Lazarus, we see that real hope is not a concept, it is a person.

Pastor Marc Likins - At the cross, something far deeper than a tragic death was happening, Jesus was stepping in to take our place. What we could never fix, He fully paid for, offering forgiveness as a gift instead of something we have to earn.

This message shows how the small word no can protect your life from things that quietly pull you away from God’s best. Through Nehemiah’s example, you see how saying no to the wrong things creates space to say yes to what actually matters.

Following God is not always easy, and doing what is right can come with a real cost, especially when no one seems to notice. But this message reminds us that God sees every act of obedience, and His reward is always better, lasting, and right on time.

Following God does not mean life gets easier, it often means the battle gets louder. This message walks through how to respond when opposition hits by praying first, standing strong, and trusting God while still doing the work right in front of you.

This message from Nehemiah 4 shows how criticism and mockery are often used to discourage people who are doing the work God has called them to do. Instead of quitting when critics get loud, believers can respond with prayer, remember who God says they are, and keep building what God started.

Nehemiah 3 might look like a long list of names, but it actually reveals powerful principles about serving God. This message shows how prioritizing God, working faithfully where He places you, and serving with urgency can leave a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime.

Strategic Faith reminds us that God rarely shows us the whole road at once, but He always gives enough light for the next step. Nehemiah’s example teaches us how to follow God’s vision with wisdom, patience, and steady obedience.

Nehemiah 2 shows us what it looks like to trust God when your hands are shaking and your heart is pounding. It is a reminder that when God gives the vision, we pray, we prepare, we step forward, and we trust Him to handle everything we cannot.

This message looks at how God uses burdens to wake us up to what truly matters to Him and to us. Through Nehemiah’s story and everyday life examples, it challenges believers to stop brushing off holy burdens and start responding with prayer, compassion, and obedience.

Even though Nehemiah lived centuries ago, his story hits close to home for today’s church. From crumbled city walls to the clashing of big dreamers and cautious planners, Nehemiah reminds us that God still rebuilds through ordinary, flawed people who take Him seriously.

Sometimes life throws us into a trial that makes us cry out, "God, where were You?" But John 11 reminds us that even when it looks like everything’s falling apart, God is still seeking His glory, still working His plan, and still using our pain to show others His power.

This message walks through Judges 17 to show how sincere sounding faith can still be deeply broken when people create their own version of God. It challenges families, churches, and the nation to stop doing what feels right and return to submitting to God’s truth and Christ as King.

Jesus calls His followers to stop living in reaction mode and start living with intentional, second mile faith. When you choose love, generosity, and integrity even under pressure, you regain control and you look a whole lot more like your Father in heaven.

Life can feel anything but “Hakuna Matata,” especially around the holidays. But Philippians 4 shows us a better way—through prayer, truth, and the peace of God, we can worry less and live with the calm assurance of Christ at the center.

This message is about more than just surviving the holidays with your family—it’s about loving them well because of how Christ has loved you. Whether your crew is calm, chaotic, or somewhere in between, Scripture gives us a game plan for choosing love, peace, and gratitude in the middle of it all.

This year’s Christmas Concert combined powerful storytelling and gospel truth through three original Letters to Jesus films and a message from John 1:14. Each letter—written by a child, a weary mom, and a grieving widower—pointed to the deeper hope of Christmas: that Jesus is God’s personal message to us. He didn’t send a letter from a distance—He came in person, and He came for you.

Christmas isn’t just twinkly lights and cinnamon candles—it’s about trusting God with the messiness of real life, just like Mary did. If you're carrying trouble this Christmas, you’re invited to lay it down with the One who actually knows how to handle it.

We all think just a little more—money, stuff, success—will finally satisfy us, but it never does. Jesus flips the script and shows us that true freedom comes not from getting more, but from wanting less and enjoying what we already have.

Most of us are better at staying busy than learning how to rest well. Sabbath is God's invitation to stop, breathe, worship, and remember who is actually holding everything together.

Most of us are great at feasting but rarely think about fasting. This sermon invites us to rediscover fasting not as a religious punishment, but as a powerful way to draw near to God, quiet our cravings, and align our hearts with what really matters.

Prayer isn’t a performance, and it’s definitely not a magic formula. Jesus shows us that real prayer is simple, honest, and rooted in knowing we’re talking to a Father who already loves us and knows what we need.

Learn how the spiritual discipline of solitude can calm your soul, deepen your prayer life, and help you hear God's voice more clearly in a noisy world.

We all want our lives to matter—but Jesus says the path to real impact and real joy runs through generosity. This message invites you to loosen your grip on what won’t last and invest in what never fades.

Jesus didn’t just preach sermons, He shared meals. This message reminds us that some of the most powerful gospel work happens not behind a pulpit but around a table — where love, food, and friendship collide.

Evangelism isn’t just for pastors or missionaries—Jesus invites all of us into the joy of sharing His good news. Whether you're just starting out or learning to speak up, this message helps you take the next step with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Serving others might not always feel glamorous, but it’s the secret path to real greatness, deeper relationships, and surprising joy. Jesus didn’t just talk about it—He grabbed a towel, washed feet, and said, “Now you go do the same.”

Community is not something Jesus scheduled; it was the heartbeat of His life. This message reminds us that we grow stronger when we grow together, rooting our lives in Christ and one another. Subscribe for more content like this!

You’ll discover why truth without love is harsh, and love without truth is hollow — and how the two must always walk hand-in-hand.

Discipleship is not about going it alone, but about growing alongside others in real community. Jesus showed us that it takes time, starts small, and eventually leads to helping others grow too.

This message explores how spiritual growth doesn't happen all at once or in the same way for everyone. Whether you're growing like a plant, an investment, or a person, it takes the right environment, steady rhythms, and intentional time with Jesus to really mature.
