Category: The Harvest Messianic Congregation

The Gonzales family attended The Harvest, Kehilat T’nuvah, from February 2000 – February 2009. The Harvest is a Messianic Charismatic congregation for Jews and Gentiles located in Thornton, Colorado. During his time at The Harvest, Michael served as a leader, a teacher, a pastor, and an elder.

The Harvest produced a radio show in Denver called Torah Talk, which aired Sundays on 670 AM, KLTT from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm. Michael was a regular co-host on the show and an occasional guest host. You can hear some of these episodes in this archive.

The Harvest is the community where the Gonzales family found refuge after leaving Roman Catholicism. It was here where Michael first heard Yeshua (Jesus) preached from the Old Testament, where he learned about the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith, and where he was introduced to a Messianic expression of worship.

Below are a some of Michael’s Shabbat sermons, radio show episodes, and other teachings. You can also watch some fun videos on YouTube here: The Harvest Playlist
