When all is going well, being thankful is easy, but what if “all” isn’t going well? What then? Let’s consider a few things that will help us look deeper and cultivate a heart of gratitude.  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.

If we truly believe that Jesus is coming back, it will affect the way we live. In this podcast, Shelley reminds us that patiently waiting is an active and hope-filled way to live! There are opportunities all around us to shine our light and be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. “It was fifty years ago this spring that I accepted the Lord during the Jesus Revolution,” Shelley recalls. “I expected Him to come back soon, and I still do!” In the meantime, let’s keep planting seeds, pulling weeds, and trust the Lord to send rain so that His harvest will be rich, ripe and abundant.

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.

In this special Thanksgiving podcast, Penny reminds us that God gives perfect gifts meant just for us.

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.
