THIS SUNDAY
1. Current Sermon Series - Forward By Faith
I'm so excited to launch a new sermon series on the life of Abraham
this Sunday. Our church is so new and we don’t know what God is going
to do, but we are expecting Him to do “far more abundantly” (Ephesians
3:20-21). We’ve already seen Him do great things and God is calling us
to have the faith to expect even more! What we need as a church is more
faith.
A man or a woman of faith is a person
who believes God’s promises and trusts His character so deeply that he
or she acts with radical courage, wisdom and strength. A person of
faith is a person who moves forward, trusting in God’s word, and
leaving the details to Him. I love how the author of Hebrews describes
Abraham’s radical trust in God. “By faith Abraham obeyed… he went out,
not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8).
I really believe that a study of the
life of Abraham is so fitting for our church at this point in time. We
need to keep moving forward as a church, trusting that God will provide
and that God will remain faithful to His promises. When you commit to
moving FORWARD BY FAITH, the most important consideration is not the
destination, the directions or the details. What matters most is who
you are following.
We aren’t going got be studying the
life of Abraham so that we can learn how walk like he did, rather, we
are seeking to know the God who he followed. As we study the life of
Abraham, we will find that we can move FORWARD BY FAITH only because we
are following a faithful God.
2. Young Adults Carpool - November 6
Josh Mejia is organizing a carpool for
Young Adults at Harvest Oakville this Friday. If you are interested in

3. Party With The Pastor! - November 8, 3 - 5:30 pm
If you're new to Harvest, this is the first step to discover Harvest
and get plugged in. PWTP is a great way to learn more about our
vision, history
and priorities while you meet some of the ministry staff and other key
leaders from our church.
This is an informal event held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of one
of our church members. There is also a Q&A time for any questions
you may have about Harvest, as well as great fellowship and
light refreshments throughout.
Please note: Party with the Pastors is an adult-only event; childcare is not provided.

4. Small Group Launch - November 8-13
We are thrilled about the upcoming launch of Harvest Small Groups!
What are Small Groups? Glad you asked. The purpose of these groups
is to help all of us grow in our relationship with Jesus by ministering to and encouraging one another in daily devotionals,
effective prayer and mutual accountability.
