Virtue For Women

Join Wendy this week as we wrap up our series in the Letters of John. 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. The lessons from this letter are timeless and practical reminders to live out our faith with authenticity, humility, and a heart for service.       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.

John’s letters are instructions and warnings for us, but they also serve as examples how to biblically encourage our brothers and sisters in the Lord by keeping truth the main focus. This week, join Zenovia in our discussion of 2 John. While not everyone is called to teach the Word of God formally, we’re called to build one another up, stirring others to love and good works. How sweet it is to cheer each other on along the way!       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.

John’s purpose in writing was to assure his readers that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and they could be certain of their salvation. Our present-day culture seeks to undermine the gospel with false ideas that dilute the truth and stir us to doubt what the Bible teaches. This week, Melanie discusses six things that mark the life of a genuine believer and assure us that we truly know God.     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.

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.

If we really believed that we were living in the last hour, what would we do differently? Only those who are prepared to die are really prepared to live. Join Shelley this week as we continue our study in 1 John. As children of God, we have everything we need to resist the temptations of this world and live a holy life. Let the very thought of His imminent return cause us to live completely for His glory.  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.

Join Cathe this week as we jump into our series in the Letters of John. At the time of writing these letters, John is an old man, the last of the apostles living. He writes to believers, “so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). In the coming weeks, we will find that being a Christian is more than doctrines and creeds that we memorize. God has invited us, not only to believe in a set of truths, but to experience Him and have it change your life.    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.

With each I AM description, the more we know about Jesus, the more we want to know. We are drawn to Jesus because everything about Him is more satisfying than anything this world can offer! Abiding in Jesus is spiritually fruitful but it isn’t something we accomplish through sheer willpower. Listen in with Leah as we discuss how this intimate connection with Jesus and being rooted in God’s Word produces abundant life.         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.

This week, we focus on two of the most powerful statements Jesus ever made about Himself. The account of Jesus bringing Lazarus back from death to resurrected life is so familiar, but Debbie encourages us to slow down and take it all in again. There is only one path to salvation and everlasting life, and it is found in Jesus Christ.           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 each I AM description, Jesus used ordinary everyday illustrations that are simple, memorable and life-changing for us. Listen in with Sue this week as we explore what it means to know that Jesus is the Gate, our Good Shepherd, and the Lamb of God.        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 our first podcast of the I AM series, Christi examines why each description by Jesus Himself is so significant. Each one helps us connect to who Jesus is, how we relate to Him, and what He has done for us. Do you want to know Jesus better than ever before? Join us in discovering why knowing who Jesus is changes everything.    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.

Our final week of study opens with dedicating the rebuilt wall and a worship celebration so joyful it could be heard miles away! The community was on fire with renewed devotion to God. But then…their covenant vows made willingly to God were willfully broken. Listen in with Trish as we consider why every generation, from new believer to seasoned saint, needs to be vigilant in guarding our faith against compromise.           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.

When God’s Word exposes our sin, how do we respond? If we take sin lightly or make excuses, we don’t truly see how dangerous and destructive it is. While conviction of sin stings and grieves, it’s a gift of God’s grace calling us to freedom and forgiveness.  Join Melanie in exploring this part of the story as the people listen to God’s Word and recognize the gravity of their sin.  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.

As Nehemiah continued the work of rebuilding, the opposition was unrelenting. When outward threats didn’t work, the enemy tried to discourage and disrupt the work from within. We can expect this in our walks as well.  In this podcast, Shelley traces the steps Nehemiah took to resolve the issues threatening to divide and distract God’s people. We see the importance of having a strategy to guard against the enemy and why it is vital for us to be rooted in the Word of God. As we see what a good and faithful God we serve, may the joy of the Lord be your strength!       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.

Nehemiah’s memoir is a testament to the faithfulness of God who (unlike us) doesn’t abandon His projects halfway through. As the story unfolds, it points us toward God’s ultimate restoration project and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. We have a Savior who restores hearts and rebuilds lives!  Nehemiah’s example teaches us that rebuilding starts with prayer, but it doesn’t end there. After praying, we must get up and get involved. This week, Cathe discusses what that looks like in everyday life.     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.

Join us as we dive into the book of Nehemiah. In this first podcast, Tiffany explores how God used broken people and a pagan king to bring about restoration, and how Nehemiah’s heart for his people stirred him to action. Whether you are new to Nehemiah’s story or have studied it before, there is something here for you!  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.

The beauty of Advent (as opposed to the commercial thing we’ve made of Christmas) is not about gifts. It’s about what Jesus has already given and what He is still offering. Take a moment to sit with Cathe and consider a question that Jesus often asked: “What do you want me to do for you?” This Christmas don’t settle for the temporary or superficial. Bring your brokenness, your doubts, your mess. Ask for water that never runs dry. Treasure that won’t tarnish with the years. Ask big and then watch Him move.

Discover the transformative hope brought by the birth of Jesus—a hope that fills our lives with purpose and love, assures us of an eternal home, and gives strength during life’s struggles. Jesus is our steadfast anchor, offering unwavering assurance in every season. Join Tiffany as she shares heartfelt stories and biblical insights to remind us this Christmas that hope truly came down.

Paul wanted the Colossians to understand that how they lived should tell others who they were, or better yet whose they were. In this podcast, Zenovia unpacks what it means to “let the word of Christ richly dwell within you.” It should impact how we think, how we speak, and how we live—not just on Sundays in church but every day in our homes and our communities. If His word is dwelling in us, the evidence of a life changed by the gospel will naturally pour forth from us.      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.

Spiritual growth is a lifelong process, but what does it look like in everyday life? Paul tells the Colossians it’s like changing your clothes. What’s in your spiritual closet? In this podcast, Leah invites us to think about the Designer clothing that Christ bought for us. Every item has been ethically sourced and sustainably designed by God’s Holy Spirit living in us. In Christ, we are fully loved, fully forgiven, fully accepted.
