Harvest Bible Chapel ·

2025/06/15

Sometimes obedience brings us straight into hardship. That doesn’t mean we’ve missed God’s will—it might mean we’re exactly where He wants us. In this episode, we pick up Paul’s story in Acts 21. He’s falsely accused, dragged out of the temple, and nearly killed by an angry mob. But instead of retreating, Paul stands and shares his story. He tells of his past, his encounter with Jesus, and the mission he’s been given. And along the way, we see three truths that still matter today: – It’s not

Uniting the Divided | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

Harvest Bible Chapel ·

2025/06/08

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people—even churches—to divide? Whether it’s over something as serious as theology or as silly as a favorite fried chicken, we tend to split off, form factions, and guard our preferences. But Jesus prayed for something better—for unity. In John 17, He asked the Father to make us one, so that the world would believe.In this episode, we’re turning to Acts 21:15–26 to see what it takes to preserve unity in the body of Christ.

2025/06/01

Have you ever wished you could go back in time to warn someone you love? Maybe stop them from a painful moment or help them avoid a disaster? That’s the whole premise of time travel movies—change the past, save the future. But in Acts 21, we meet someone who knew what was coming—and walked straight into it anyway. Paul was warned again and again that danger, imprisonment, and suffering waited for him in Jerusalem. But he went. Why? In today’s message, we’re exploring Paul’s remarkable

A Good Example | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

Harvest Bible Chapel ·

2025/05/18

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. This weekend, we’re in Acts 20:1–12 with a message titled “A Good Example.” There’s something powerful about a life worth imitating. From the heroes of Hebrews 11 to faithful believers we've known personally, their stories stir us to live differently. In the same way, the life of the Apostle Paul in Acts compels us—not just to admire him, but to follow his lead. So what does a faithful example look like? Paul shows us: be encouraging, be a friend, and
