Sermons from Todd Dugard
Lead Pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel Barrie
Todd and his wife Cheryl and their three (now adult) children came to Barrie in 2001 to plant Harvest Bible Chapel with a group of eight local families.
Todd became a Christ-follower at the age of 15 through the ministry of The Salvation Army and Youth for Christ. A few years later, he was baptized at Faith Baptist Church where he would later serve as the adult ministries pastor and be ordained to pastoral ministry. He is a graduate of London Baptist Bible College and Heritage Seminary.
Born in Montreal, Todd continues to enthusiastically support the Habs, and is also a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan because he only cheers for classy teams.
He has a deep passion for the church and the preaching of God’s Word. and he knows through his more than 20 years of pastoral ministry that what counts most is finishing well. Based on Galatians 2:20, his life mission is to, “Live and lead others to live by faith in Christ.”
Anyone who breathes knows that accepting God’s will for our lives can be difficult. The Father often chooses life experiences for us that we’d never choose; he carves out paths…
Keep Silence! One of the greatest failings of prayer is saying too much. Too many words. Too much of what I want to say. No time for God to speak.…
The righteous shall live by his/her faith Among the things that a Christian must grapple with is the difficult reality of how to ask questions of God. As the sons…
Where Is God? Crisis, questions, clarity, and surrender from the prophet Habakkuk Two questions confound ordinary people in the midst of terrible circumstances: why is this happening to me? and…
Contention. Disagreement. Discord. Disharmony. Distress. Upset. Agitation. Hatred. Hostility. Frustration. Worry. Anxiety. Fighting. War. Wouldn’t you want to be done with all of those, if you could? And in the…
Do you think it is fair to say that we’re all prejudiced in some way and probably aren’t even aware of it? Many minorities would say that’s true. Women too.…

I’ve only ever made one of those long road trips to Florida. Some people I know do it every year. The 20+ hours on the road, both ways, on 400…
The Long and Winding Road If you know the Beatles, you know I ripped off their song title for this message. Lennon and McCartney wrote and sang about a girl,…
This Sunday we’ll be looking at Ruth 1:19-2:23 with the “Rough Road Ahead,” and I’d say we’re all looking at that road right now. And we need this message.
I've set aside what we had planned for the next few weeks and instead will be starting a new 4-week series, Road to Redemption: The life-changing story of Ruth. This Sunday’s…
I’m not that eager to bring the Word this Sunday. The hardest part of preaching verse-by-verse through books of the Bible is dealing with the hardest parts. Passages like Acts…
We’re awfully confused about the nature of the church: what it is, what it is supposed to be doing, who actually belongs to it, and more. Everyone has an opinion…
Nothing is outside his control. Win or lose (as we see wins and losses), we’re always in God’s all-powerful hands. In this message we're taking looking back to that account of Joab in 1 Chronicles 19 as well as looking at something Jesus said in John 14:12 about the “greater things” that we, as his followers, should see happening.
Our time in the Word is in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 where Paul deals with the Lord’s Table gone bad. Along the way, he laid out the beauty and simplicity of what the Table is, what it should mean to them and to us today.
We do so many things not knowing how it will all turn out. We invest money not knowing if it will yield a return. We hop in the car not…
In the first of our two Christmas messages last week, we heard from Micah 5:1-5a that when we’re vulnerable and facing crushing circumstances, help appears in an unexpected place, in an…
