People are drawn to the Lord when they see a healthy, vital church serving with joy and passion for the things of God. This paints an attractive picture to the watching world, and if we want this beautiful circle of life to continue, we need to share the gospel with others. Yet we all have excuses. In this podcast, Shelley uses the acronym, GO FISH to challenge some of the reasons why we don’t evangelize.      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.

In this podcast, Christi discusses the mystery and miraculous power of the Word of God. How is it that some read God’s inspired word and experience His power and life within, yet others read and experience absolutely nothing? As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 2:14, the Bible is a locked book to a locked heart. Yet it can penetrate even the hardest heart and bring the most avowed atheist to belief! For the Christian, reading and studying the Bible is not just important—it is vital! A soul cannot prosper without it.

Did you know that historically, Advent had a double focus? One was to celebrate Christmas, the first appearing of Jesus Christ in the flesh. The other was looking forward to the second advent, when Jesus will return for us. In this podcast, Cathe Laurie reminds us that the meaning of Christmas goes miles deeper than frantic shopping, pretty lights and family traditions. We, of all people, should know this. How much better to walk calmly and focused into this season and why we celebrate.

Our study in James begins with a conversation about trials and temptation. Even as Christians, we still swim in the waters of culture, so we need to be aware and prepared. In this episode, Cathe discusses why (and how) trials are a catalyst for change that will settle us into deeply rooted faith. She identifies the difference between trials and temptation, reminding us that Satan tempts us to bring out the bad while God tests us to bring out the good.

We are made for fellowship, but what does that mean? Fellowship requires connection—first with Christ and then with others. In this special episode, Cami Huffman discusses what we share in Christ and how this fosters community. Jesus modeled fellowship so beautifully. He showed us what it looks like to go through life with a community of people and it’s the opposite of isolation.   As Christians, one of the greatest advertisements to the watching world is the way we love and serve each other. Listen, we aren’t meant to go through life alone! Fellowship gives us practical opportunities to share the love of God with others.
