Harvest Bible ChapelThe Boys of Christmas | Pastor Jeff BucknamWelcome to the weekly sermon podcast from Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago. We’re so glad you’re joining us.
Today, we start our Christmas series, Birth of the King, in Matthew 1:18–25. While Luke’s Gospel highlights Mary and the shepherds, Matthew draws our attention to what we might call the boys of Christmas—men like Joseph, Herod, and the wise men—each responding differently to the arrival of Jesus.
In this message, Pastor Jeff Bucknam helps us see who Jesus truly is and what faithful obedience looks like through the life of Joseph. As we open God’...

Today, we come to the final message in our series through the Book of James—True Religion. We’ve spent weeks looking at what genuine faith looks like in real life, and now, as we close, James gives us a sobering and hopeful word about “the wanderer.”
From James 5:19–20, Pastor Jeff Bucknam will help us wrestle with a vital question: What should we think and do when someone drifts from the truth? We’ll consider the problem of wandering, the danger it brings, and the loving calling of God’s people to seek...

Let’s listen in to this timely and challenging message....

This weekend, Pastor Jeff Bucknam opens James 1:27 with a challenging message called “Two Marks of True Religion.”
What proves that someone really follows Jesus? According to James, it’s not flashy rituals or religious talk, but two unmistakable marks—caring for the oppressed and remaining unstained by the world.
Listen as Pastor Jeff unpacks these life-defining truths and calls us to a faith that shows up in love and holiness.

This weekend, Pastor Jeff Bucknam continues our series through the Book of James with a message titled Jumping to Conclusions Ends in a Devastating Fall from James 1:19–26.
Words matter. They reveal what’s in our hearts and can build up or tear down the family of God. James calls us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—because the righteousness of God is not produced by human outrage, but by hearts transformed by His implanted Word.
As you listen...

We’re continuing our series in the book of James, True Religion: The Book of James. Today, Pastor Jeff Bucknam brings a message from James 1:9–11 titled “The Rich Poor and the Poor Rich.”
We live in a world where wealth promises security, comfort, and happiness—but James flips that upside down. In God’s kingdom, the poor are rich, and the rich can be poor. What truly matters isn’t the size of your bank account, but where your hope is anchored. Let’s listen together.

2025-09-0751 minHarvest Bible ChapelHere Comes Trouble | Pastor Jeff BucknamWelcome to the Harvest podcast. This weekend, we begin a brand-new series in the Book of James called True Religion.

Pastor Jeff Bucknam opens God’s Word in James 1:1–4 and reminds us that trouble will come, but trials are not meaningless. In God’s hands, they shape our faith, strengthen our perseverance, and form us into the likeness of Christ.
This message, Here Comes Trouble, will challenge you to think...

Over the past fifty-plus sermons, we’ve seen the risen Jesus build His church through ordinary men and women empowered by the Holy Spirit.
This weekend, Pastor Jeff Bucknam closes the series with a sermon from Acts 28 entitled, The Final Word. In this chapter, we see three themes come into focus: the mighty God who delivers, the transforming faith that sustains, and the unchained Gospel that advances to the ends of the earth.
2025-08-1757 minHarvest Bible ChapelReaching Out Without Selling Out | Dr. Jeff BucknamWelcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel sermon podcast! We’re diving into Acts 17:16–34, where Paul boldly presents the Gospel in the heart of a culture filled with idols and philosophies.
