Joy & Grief (Part 1)
26/06/2023 Duração: 29minThe Bible presents love as one of (if not the most significant) defining characteristics of God. Love of God and neighbor is the Greatest Commandment. Faith, hope, and love will remain in eternity - but the greatest of the three is love. The Apostle John says, "God is love." But in a broken world love is not always seen, received, experienced, or given appropriately. This is where grief comes in. Joy and Grief are the two primary expressions and emotions of love. Love received results in joy. Love that is missing or abused results in grief. As those who follow the Way of Jesus we are called to live in the balance of joy and grief. In a broken and fallen world love is found at the intersection of joy and grief.

Justice & Mercy
11/06/2023 Duração: 37minJustice is simply when you get what you deserve. Mercy is when you don’t get what you deserve. These seem to be incompatible. How can we administer true justice and yet show mercy and compassion to one another? (Zech. 7:9). Join us this Sunday as we wrestle with these questions and what it means to “Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8).

Faith & Works
04/06/2023 Duração: 21minToday we are going to talk about the balance between faith and works. This tension has been within Christianity from almost the conception of the church in Acts. So… what does the interplay of faith and works look like in a life in Christ?

Citizens of Heaven... on Earth
28/05/2023 Duração: 40minAs Christians, our first and eternal allegiance is to our King and His Kingdom. Our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, even while we live here on earth. But we are called to care for the places we live while we await the return of our King. One Biblical picture of this is that of an ambassador. We are citizens of heaven who are ambassadors of Jesus on earth.

Grace & Truth
21/05/2023 Duração: 27minAt PFC, we are a people following Jesus, who is full of grace and truth. This Sunday, we’re kicking off a new series, “Life in the Balance.” We’ll observe how the way of Jesus is often found in holding the tension between things that, at first glance, may seem to be in opposition from one another like grace and truth. Through the example of Jesus, the guidance of the Scriptures, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we can live in the balance.

We Believe: We Are Image Bearers
30/04/2023 Duração: 32minWhose image do you bear and what difference does it make? We’re not talking about Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, or Michael Kors. But whose fingerprints are all over you? In the early pages of Scripture, we learn that every human being has been created in the image of God the Father, Son, and Spirit. We’ve been stamped with His image. Join us this Sunday as Jesus challenges us to love the One whose image we bear and love others who bear His image. (Mark 12)

We Believe: In the Indwelling Spirit
16/04/2023 Duração: 30minDid you know you're a vacuum cleaner? That's right! Humans are vacuums. We suck up the things around us. This is God's design. We are meant to be filled. We are designed by God to be filled with...well...God. But what if He's not the thing that is filling us up? We are still going to be filled by something. What fills you? Thankfully, in Christ, we get to choose God. The Holy Spirit fills every follower of Jesus.

We Believe: In the Priesthood of All Believers
26/03/2023 Duração: 38minYou probably have never thought of yourself as a priest before, right? Don’t worry, you don’t have to order a clerical collar or clergy robe. But 1 Peter 2:9 calls us royal priests! We are accepted, valuable, capable, and forgiven because of the love and ultimate sacrifice of our Great High Priest, Jesus Christ. This Sunday, we’ll unpack some spiritual sacrifices that we can all offer as royal priests.

We Believe: In the Bride of Christ
19/03/2023 Duração: 29minThe New Testament uses a number of illustrations to describe the relationship of God to the Church. Some of the key ones are: Family, Flock, Temple, Body, and Bride.

We Believe in the Trinity (Give it away, give it away, give it away)
19/02/2023 Duração: 37minRevelation implies a revealer. Revelation means that something hasn't been found by a work of discovery, it's been shown and uncovered by a revealer. God has revealed Himself through His Word. And through His Word God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Spirit. Here we enter into the deep and pivotal great mystery of Christianity - the Trinity. God is One, revealed in the three persons of the Trinity. To be a Christian is to enter into the threefold, Triune fellowship of Father, Son, and Spirit.

We Believe: In the Authority of Scripture
12/02/2023 Duração: 37minIt's best to describe the Word of God using terms that the Word of God uses to describe itself. The Word of God is inspired, holy, and authoritative. If you examine the English word authority, you'll see that the root word is "author". To have authority is to be connected to the author. Jesus, is the author and perfecter of our faith. We build our believing faith, allegiant faith, and obedient faith on His authority.

We Believe: The Word of God, Part II
05/02/2023 Duração: 32minWe cannot build a stairway to heaven, or find God with our own philosophies and thoughts. But God is a God who speaks through revelation and has not left us in the dark. To reveal means to "uncover." God has revealed and uncovered His nature to us through His Word. This comes to us through the Living Word, the written Word, and the Word proclaimed in and through the life and words of the church. In this week's teaching we'll continue to unfold this beautiful, three-dimensional vision of the Word of God, overlaying it with a three-dimensional picture of faith.
