God is still speaking today. Once you understand that, it's not much of a leap to think that He would then speak to you on behalf of others. Simple prophecy is just hearing God and saying what He says. Join us this week as we build our faith for hearing God and being used by Him to encourage others.Par Harvest Church -- Shawn Benson

Do as I say, not as I do....or at least that's what most of us have heard at some point during our formative years. Perhaps it was said as a joke, but the reality is that far too many still employ this mentality. The Apostle Paul, however, admonishes us, "follow me as I follow Christ." If we want to raise up children, spiritual and natural, we have…

The church isn't just a gathering of people connecting relationally. It's more than just 2 or more gathered together.

Join us this week as Ps. Shawn Benson talks about t…

Was this the "woke" Jesus or the "real" Jesus on display? Join us for this Easter …

Hebrews 12:6 tells us that Father God scourges those He loves. Scourging was a gruesome and horrific torture inflicted upon criminals. Does Father God really do this to His children?

Did you know that Jesus came to commission us to preach the gospel of the kingdom? It's not just the minimalized American gospel of getting to heaven some day. God wants to do more than just get you to heaven by the skin of your teethe. He wants to release heaven through you here on earth.Par Harvest Church -- Shawn Benson

Our core value of kingdom can basically be divided into two primary expressions. 1. It's the sense that (assuming basic orthodoxy) we are all part of the body of Christ and could win our cities if we began to work and play together better. 2. The original commission of man to multiple, subdue, and rule over the earth has be reinstated and redeemed …

Another core value here at Harvest is Kingdom Excellence. This core value extends far beyond just the basic sense of doing a good job on a project. It's an overarching value that impacts literally every aspect of our lives.Par Harvest Church -- Shawn Benson

Should women have a voice and be empowered to lead as they are gifted, or should they be subservient to men? That's the question that we address in this week's podcast.Par Harvest Church -- Shawn Benson

Is poverty a supreme value in the kingdom? Does God want you poor? Does the bible say anything about money?

Good news! Jesus has covered all three area…
