You only guard what is most valuable to you.
Your car. Your house. Your friends. Your kids. Your spouse.
As valuable as those items and people may be, there is one thing that you must guard above all else: your heart.
Join us this Sunday as we study Proverbs 4:20-27 and discover the final solution to our Heart Problems.

Our next Baptism Service is coming up on August 24th! Maybe you or even your children have questions about baptism: Who should be baptized? What is baptism about anyway?

The class is being offered on August 10th. It will be held in Pastor Jeff's office between services, and will start promptly at 10:20am. Sign up by emailing admin@harvestpittsburghnorth.org

You probably know that complaining is bad for you and offends God.
So…why do you keep doing it?
Complaining is just a symptom of a heart that is dissatisfied with God. Negativity is an acid that eats away at you, your relationships, your ministry, and your walk with the Lord. This is a serious heart problem that needs to be dealt with immediately.
Join us this Sunday as we find God’s surgical solution to a discontent heart in Psalm 138.
We have a service opportunity coming up with Urban Impact in the North Side on Saturday, July 19th, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you are unaware of their ministry, they specialize in reaching at-risk kids in the North Side with the gospel, important programs, and much needed resources. They have an abundance of projects that need to be accomplished at several of their buildings.

Confession is not a popular concept in most churches and among many professing Christians.
It is far more appealing to affirm and accept sin than it is to confess it.
But what does the Bible have to say about this important topic?
Join us this Sunday as we study Psalm 51 and receive the call to Confess from the Heart.
Over the course of this past year, we have drilled down into one major theme as a church: God wants your heart.
But…what if your heart doesn’t want God right now? What should you do?
What should you do when you don’t desire to read the Bible, seek after the Lord in prayer, go to church, or trust in the promises of God?
These are serious heart problems. But thankfully there are solutions.
Join us this Sunday as we start a new series and discover God’s solutions to our Heart Problems .

Fasting is one of the most important spiritual disciplines for the Christ follower. Jesus mentions it right along with giving and praying. And the point is the same: do it in secret, do it so only God knows.
But why do it at all? What’s the point of fasting?
It’s one of the greatest - and underused - resources that God has given us. Join us Sunday for The Secret to Fasting…
Join us for Graduate Recognition Sunday on June 29th, during both 9am and 11am services, as we celebrate and honor all high school and college graduates from our church family! This special moment in our service will recognize their hard work, dedication, and accomplishments. If you or a family member is graduating this year, we’d love to acknowledge you—please let us know so we can include you in the celebration!
Come join us on the land where our future church home will be on June 23rd from 6-7pm. We’ll gather to thank God for His blessings, pray for the future harvest, and seek His guidance as we move forward together. Everyone is welcome — we hope to see you there!

Every Christian wants to be a better pray-er. More prayer, better prayer, answered prayer. What’s the secret to praying?
The secret to praying… is praying in secret. When it’s only you and the Lord - and only you and the Lord know.
Join us Sunday for The Secret to Praying.
If you’re interested in joining, email Darla Barie at precepts@harvestpittsburghnorth.org.
Join us for our Mid-Month Mingle on June 15th from 10:20–10:50 AM! Meet in the fellowship area (kitchen) between services to enjoy coffee, homemade treats, and great conversation. It’s a simple way to connect with others at Harvest. We hope to see you there!
Do you serve others and give to the needy? Hopefully the answer is yes!
But here is another follow up question that you must answer: Why do you serve others and give to the needy? Your answer to this question reveals who you really are and who you are really worshipping. Your answer uncovers the motive for your good deeds and the reward you are seeking after.
Join us this Sunday as we dig into Matthew 6:1-4 and discover that the secret to giving is giving in secret.
Do you love your friends? That’s great! But that’s expected!
The real question is: do you love your enemies? Yes, even those who are “out to get you”.
If you do, you Love Like God. Join us Sunday as we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 5:43-48.
If you’re interested in joining, email Darla Barie at precepts@harvestpittsburghnorth.org.
This new group is designed to do just that! Meeting twice a month, this will be a time dedicated to learning, growing, and encouraging one another in Christ! Breakfast & Childcare will be provided every time, so come with your kiddos and ready to eat!
Sign up with Jenell ~ You aren’t going to want to miss this!
“I don’t get mad, I get even.”
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
“I’ll treat you the way you treat me.”
An “eye for an eye”, right? Isn’t that in the Bible?
It is. But in our day as in Jesus’ day, it was grossly misinterpreted and misapplied. How can we be intentionally offended and not “get even”? This goes against everyone’s natural inclination! Fair is fair, right? We can’t let people get away with it!
Or are Jesus’ disciples called to a better way of living?
Join us Sunday as we continue to go after The Heart of the Law with Thou Shalt Not Resist.

Join us for a Mid-Month Mingle on May 25th from 10:20-10:50am, a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow members and attendees of Harvest Bible Chapel between our 9 AM and 11 AM services. Gather in the fellowship area (kitchen) to enjoy delicious homemade baked goods and a warm cup of coffee while engaging in meaningful conversations. This casual gathering is designed for fellowship, allowing you to strengthen relationships and meet new faces in our church community. We hope that you can join us!
Are you trustworthy?
Think about your answer to this question. Think about how others would answer this question.
Your reputation when it comes to honesty is one of the most important things about you because it speaks to your integrity. It speaks to your heart.
Join us this Sunday as we take the Trustworthiness Test that Jesus assigns in Matthew 5:33-37.
If you’re interested in joining, email Darla Barie at precepts@harvestpittsburghnorth.org.
This will be a great opportunity to get to know some of our leadership, as well as answer any questions you may have about Harvest. If you’ve considered placing membership here- this is the first step.
As a part of our ongoing initiative, we will be having a Family Chat once a quarter as an opportunity to keep the congregation updated on Big Picture items that don’t necessarily effect the day-to-day operations. A chance to give you an update on the things the Elders are working on, or changes that could be coming.
If you call Harvest your home, plan to stick around after service on Sunday, May 18th. We will keep it short (5-10 minutes) out of respect for your time. If you’re unable to join us, reach out to Jillian for a recap and she can get you caught up.
In Jesus’ day, there was a popular opinion among the Jews that is also prevalent in 2025 America: Divorce is no big deal.
“Break it off and move on. You deserve to be happy. God wouldn’t want you stuck in a loveless marriage. Just divorce him.”
Divorce. It’s a topic that always stirs up controversy and brings heated responses in the church. But what does Jesus actually say about marriage and divorce? Join us Sunday for Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery. (part 2!)
This new group is designed to do just that! Meeting twice a month, this will be a time dedicated to learning, growing, and encouraging one another in Christ! Breakfast & Childcare will be provided every time, so come with your kiddos and ready to eat!

“But I’ve never physically cheated on my spouse.”
Once again, Jesus shows us that the Law is much deeper than external obedience. It’s about the heart, and lusting is the same as adultery because that is where physical adultery starts.
It’s a message that we all need to hear.
Join us this Sunday for Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.
