I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old Psalm 77:11 To God be the glory! Today, we meet in our new worship center. Ten months ago, on June 20, 2024, we began constructing our new building. Here we are today, thanking God for all He has done through the ministry of Grace Harvest Bible Church. We began meeting at Swift Creek Elementary in 2006 as a church plant. In 2008, we bought 6 acres at our current location, so in 2009, we met at the A

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures , 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Today, we gather as the Bride of Christ to celebrate His victory over death. This Sunday is glorious, and because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, we can cry out, “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” Je

For I, Yahweh, do not change; Malachi 3:6 How many times have you found yourself changing your mind? As I have grown older and hope wiser, I have changed how I handle certain situations. As mere men and women, we can be very fickle. Just think how your taste in music has changed over the years. Take your Pastors taste in music. In the late '60s and early '70s, I listened to heavy metal music like, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Uriah Heep. Then in the '80s, it

Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains . Matthew 24:15-16 Jesus, in the Olivet Discourse, warned of a future event that Daniel had also prophesied. The prophet wrote his book around 540 B.C., over 500 years before Christ. Jesus' warning refers to the moment when the last half of the tribulation period w

The Roman Empire was one of the greatest and most influential civilizations in the world and lasted for over 1000 years. One of the significant reasons that it lasted that long and conquered almost all of Europe was because of her legions. Rome established a professional army made up of well-equipped and trained men. While other warriors, especially in Gaul, Germania, and Brittania, wore little armor and were not trained as a cohesive fighting unit. The legions would line up

But the Lord was pleased; To crush Him, putting Him to grief ;  Isaiah 53:10 Welcome to Grace Harvest Baptist Church on this Easter Sunday. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ let us remember the cost of our salvation. God allowed His Son to suffer at the hands of wicked men. He was mocked, spit on, beaten, and crucified for the salvation of all that would believe in Him. It is hard to imagine that the will of God would be for His Son to be cr

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound ? Romans 6:1 When a person becomes a Christian, they are “born again” (John 3:3). They were dead in their sins and now are alive in Christ. However, until we meet Jesus face to face we will struggle with sin. Christians will have a battle with sin as long as we live in these earthly vessels. So, Paul, knowing this, reminds all believers that even as God’s grace has justified us before a holy God, it does

Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will , Ephesians 1:4-5 I was having a discussion with Pastor Jamie the other day about the conversion of Charles Spurgeon. It reminded me that it is not by flowery words or convincing arguments that we come to Christ. It is by God’s grace and His sovereignty that we

And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise .”  Luke 23:43   So what will we do when we get to heaven? I have heard some really strange ideas about what will go on in heaven. Following are some of the things I have actually heard people say at funerals about what we will be doing in heaven: drinking beer with our friends, playing golf, fishing, gardening in our flower beds, playing with our pets, playing bridge, playing baseball, become ang
