Virtue For Women

Galatians might not read like a typical love letter, but Paul loved the believers in the churches there and wanted to keep them accountable. After preaching the gospel throughout the region on his first visit, many Gentiles were saved, and new believers were growing in their faith. But troublemakers infiltrated the church, convincing them that faith wasn’t enough without keeping the law, too. Paul was understandably angry because gospel revision of any kind is gospel reversal. We see this in our own culture today. In this episode, Tiffany reminds us that the invitation of the gospel is for everyone, and the truth of the gospel is by grace, through faith in Christ alone.   To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies  Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/. Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether you’ve been in Christ for two days, two years, or two decades, one thing is certain: we all need the gospel. We never grow out of it. The gospel is milk; it is meat; it is the appetizer; it is the dessert! In this podcast, Cathe introduces our study in Galatians and reminds us that we need a daily reset by being in God’s Word. By embracing the Gospel, we discern what is real, what is true, and what it good.    To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies  Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/. Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Life is filled with choices and decisions to be made. After everything Jesus has said in this sermon, He brings it to the most important choice any of us will ever make: the broad path which leads to destruction or the narrow path that leads straight into Jesus’ arms.

In this sermon, Jesus has some remarkable lessons for His followers. When He finished speaking, the Scripture tells us that the crowds were “amazed, astonished, and overwhelmed at this teaching.” We are too! Fact is, Jesus is calling us to deeper holiness. Our Heavenly Father cares, not only about our behavior but also our motivation. This week, Melanie encourages us to remember why God is intent on developing Christ-like character in us.

As we continue in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes what it means to be salt and light. It’s easy to sing, “this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine” but sometimes we’re tempted to hide who we are. In this episode, Christi reminds us that when we speak to others about the kingdom of God, about our salvation, and our life in Christ, our words might be new to their ears, but it should be something they’ve already seen in our life. So, let your light shine!

Jesus’ kingdom has been called the upside-down kingdom because it is a counter-cultural way to live. In this sermon, Jesus gave His disciples a description of what life for His followers should look like. And it didn’t sound anything at all what they expected!

In this final lesson of our Genesis study, we trace the story of Noah’s family line, showing how the earth repopulated and God ended up scattering the people to build the Tower of Babel. We see the early beginnings of how Abraham would eventually become the patriarch of the family line we know as Israel, God’s chosen people.

Noah and the flood is a familiar story we remember as kids, but many today treat it like a myth. Even among believers, some think of it as that time in Scripture when God got so fed up with the world that He destroyed everything. But read it again! In this episode, Leah walks us through to see this story tells us about God’s heart of redemption and grace in a world gone terribly wrong. God wasn’t throwing in the towel—this is the episode in history where our Creator refused to give up!   To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies  Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/. Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Incomprehensible yet laid out very simply. “In the beginning, God…” Those four words reconcile all that we don’t understand with what we, through faith, believe.

As fast as the years go by, especially as we get older, there is something exciting about a new year! We start out with such great intentions, but in the busyness of life it’s easy to slip back into old habits. In this special New Year’s podcast, Courtenay shares some choice thoughts from Philippians 3:13-14, where Paul reminds us that forgetting the past and looking forward go hand in hand.    To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/.    Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas music has a way of stirring something within us. Memories, anticipation, joy, even sorrow. In this Christmas Eve podcast, Trish reflects on Mary’s song that first Christmas, and Joseph’s too.  As believers, no matter where we are in the choir, our song of faith is meant to sung to the glory of God!        To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Jesus came the first time, many people missed it because they got tired of waiting for the promised Messiah. Apathy took the place of anticipation and people were in survival mode, preoccupied with life and not really looking for the Savior. In this podcast, Melanie encourages us not to let distractions, discouragement or delays keep us from being watchful and ready for His second advent!

The first time Jesus came, some were looking for the Messiah—but not many. A devout man named Simeon. An 84-year-old widow named Anna. Sophisticated Magi from the east and common shepherds from the nearby hills of Bethlehem. They came from different backgrounds and unlikely places, with one thing in common: they were searching for Jesus. In this podcast, Christi invites us to look back to the story of Bethlehem and understand you’re the reason He came. Now look up and be ready…you’re the reason He is coming again!      To join a Harvest women’s small group, go to virtue.harvest.org/studies Learn more about Virtue women’s ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship by going to virtue.harvest.org/about/.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Advent Week 2 | Making Room for Jesus with Zenovia Bernier Have you ever made plans with someone to visit in their home, but when you arrived it didn’t seem like they were expecting you?
