In this week’s episode, Shelley Hurley is talking about A Better Hope. In a world that feels so uncertain, financial pressures, moral decay, wars, and fear, it’s easy to feel hopeless. But as Hebrews reminds us, Jesus brings in a better hope, one that anchors our souls and keeps us from drifting when life’s waves crash hard. This hope is not found in circumstances or systems but in Christ Himself, our refuge, our guarantee of a better covenant, and the One who gives us access to draw near to God.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trusting Jesus as Savior isn’t just about eternity it’s about how we live right now, in every season of life.

God gave us His Word not just to know it, but to be changed by it as we draw near to Him for mercy and grace each day.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Christi Robillard takes us through Hebrews chapter 2, where we are warned not to neglect so great a salvation. She reminds us that spiritual drift doesn’t happen overnight — it happens when we do nothing. To stand strong, we must pay close attention to what we’ve heard and keep our hearts anchored in Christ. Don’t lose your awe of the Lord, because when awe fades, drift begins. And in times of disappointment or the unknown, the call is to pray and look to Jesus — and when you seek Him, you will see Him.Support the show: https://harvest.org/donate/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John’s third letter is so short that it only takes five minutes to read but it gives us a master class on how to build others up, offer correction and warning, and leave them with a sense of peace.

Listen in this week as Tiffany highlights five key truths about Jesus and our identity in Him. Through Him, we are children of God. He sets us free to pursue a life of repentance and spiritual growth. He calls us to love others in our words and actions. He leads us into truth so we can navigate false teaching, staying grounded in the Word. John reminds us that as believers, we have the Holy Spirit living within us. He is greater than any power, any pressure, or any persuasion of this world. We don’t fight in our own strength. We don’t have to live afraid or timid. We can live aware, alert, and anchored in the One who have already overcome!   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.
