Reproducing the full life of Jesus by discipling one another in missional congregations where everyone knows your name.
At PBC our longing is that people encounter the Lord Himself. We regularly pray that someone who joins us will be drawn to some inescapable conclusions:
“God is really among you!”
“Look how you love one another!”
And that after ministry their sense would be that “God did that!” This leaves us dependent upon God because ultimately it is about whether He does this or not.
We are passionate about the “finished product”, which ironically is something that will never be finished in this life. That “product” is not a big congregation or a new building or great services or a profile in the community. The “product” is ultimately personal and concerns who and what we are becoming. We believe that we are on this earth to discover, live out and pass on what it means to be whole-hearted followers of Jesus.

This sermon is part five of the series through the book of Job, exploring Job 38:1 - 42:6. In the midst of profound suffering, Job comes to encounter both the greatness of God and the nearness of God. The challenge is deeply personal: Will I trust and serve a God I do not always understand? Job discovers that even when God does not make sense, He is still present. God is able to carry sorrow, infirmity, and sin. This sermon calls us to lean on Him, trust Him, and rest in His presence - even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty.
This sermon is part seven of the series through 1 Corinthians, focusing on chapter 4 and Paul’s challenging description of genuine Christian leadership. The sermon explores four marks of a genuine Christian leader: servants of Christ, stewards of God’s Word, scum of the earth, and fathers and mothers of the world. Together, these marks reveal a picture of Christian leadership shaped by humility, faithfulness, sacrifice, and deep spiritual care for others.
Suffering is a universal human experience, yet every worldview seeks to explain it differently. This sermon from Job 28 compares some of these perspectives before presenting the biblical understanding of suffering. It explores how suffering can result from sin, free will, or the reality of spiritual evil, while also showing how God uses it to draw His people closer to Himself, shape them into the likeness of Christ, provide an eternal perspective, and call the church to bring hope and compassion to those who suffer.
This sermon is part 6 of the journey through 1 Corinthians, focusing on 1 Corinthians 3:10–15. What does it really mean to be the church? God is building his people into his temple, with Jesus Christ as the only foundation. This message explores the call to build faithfully, invest in what will last, and live in light of the day when every person's work will be tested.
In today's world, we often use the word disciple without stopping to consider what it really means. This sermon explores the marks of a true disciple - loving one another, living out the teaching found in the New Testament letters, persevering in prayer, and choosing to live in a way that honours Jesus every day. It also challenges us to invest in others by being willing to mentor someone in their faith or to learn from a more mature believer ourselves. Whether you've been following Jesus for many years or are just beginning your journey, this message will encourage you to grow as a disciple and help others do the same.
This sermon speaks to anyone who has ever found prayer difficult. Many Christians feel they don't pray enough, don't know what to say, or wonder if their prayers are good enough compared to others. Looking at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 and Luke 11, this sermon reminds us that prayer doesn't have to be complicated. It explores the pattern Jesus gave His disciples for prayer, why persistence matters, and what Jesus taught us to avoid when we pray. Whether you're new to prayer or have been praying for years, this sermon offers practical, biblical encouragement to help you grow in confidence as you spend time with God. You don't need fancy words to come to your Heavenly Father - just an honest heart. Be encouraged to pray as you can, not as you can't.
This sermon explores the true meaning of worship according to the Bible. It is not merely about music, singing, dancing, or emotional experiences. Rather, biblical worship means to bow down before God in reverence, to humble ourselves in submission, and to serve Him with our lives. It is an expression of adoration, surrender, thanksgiving, repentance, and even lament. Join us as we discover what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth, with hearts and lives fully devoted to Him.
This sermon, title A look in four directions, explores 1 Corinthians 11:23–34, examining what it means to live as God's peculiar people by honoring the Lord's Table. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the biblical context, distinguishing between descriptive and prescriptive passages, and remembering the symbolic meaning of communion. The sermon concludes by showing that the Lord's Supper calls believers to look back to Christ's sacrifice, look forward to His return, look inward through self-examination, and look upward in worship and thanksgiving.
This sermon, the third in the Job series, explores the comfort of simply being present, as Job's friends initially sat with him in silence for seven days. Yet as they began to speak, their quick judgments, lack of compassion, and overly simplistic theology exposed the danger of offering easy answers to suffering. This message reminds Christians that suffering is a normal part of the Christian life, points to Christ, who suffered despite being without sin, and calls believers to develop a robust, biblical understanding of suffering that is marked by faith, compassion, and hope.
This sermon, the fourth in the 1 Corinthians series, explores 1 Corinthians 1:18 - 2:16 and the contrast between true wisdom and fake wisdom. It exposes the foolishness of trusting earthly wisdom, proclaims the message of the cross as the powerful yet unpopular wisdom of God, and shows how the Holy Spirit enables Christians to understand God's truth, revealing the clear distinction between those who have the Spirit and those who do not.
This sermon is part 2 of the series through the book of Job. It explores some of the book's most challenging passages, where Job's despair is so deep that he wishes he had never been born. What do these verses teach us? Since all Scripture is God-breathed and useful, they remind us that God invites honest, heartfelt prayer. Our pain may shock us, but it never shocks our loving Father, who already knows every thought and emotion. True intimacy with God begins with honesty. This sermon explores the language of lament and encourages authentic spirituality by showing that Jesus understands suffering because He has experienced it Himself.
As we continue our series through 1 Corinthians, this sermon explores the nature of Christian unity. True unity is not built on agreeing about everything, but on being united around the right thing - Jesus Christ and His cross. Drawing on the teaching of Ephesians 4, we are encouraged to consider how pursuing truth, sharing the same Christ-centered mindset, recognizing our place in the body of Christ, and practicing humility enables believers to navigate differences while preserving the unity Christ has given His church.
Even when we walk through life's darkest valleys, we do not walk alone. God's presence comforts, strengthens, and guides us, reminding us that our Shepherd is always with us.
In the opening chapters of Job, we are given a glimpse into the heavenly council where God describes Job as a man of integrity and faithfulness. This raises a searching question: What would God say about us to His heavenly council? The book of Job explores a timeless test of faith - do people worship God only for what they can receive, or do they love Him for who He is, even in seasons of suffering and darkness? As we begin this series, we will discover how a genuine relationship with God produces hope, faith, and perseverance, even when life is at its hardest.
In 1 Corinthians 1:4–9, Paul begins with thanksgiving, highlighting three reasons for gratitude: God’s grace given to believers in Christ, the spiritual enrichment that enables them to exalt Christ through their gifts and service, and God’s faithful promise to sustain them until the day of Jesus Christ. Before addressing the church’s shortcomings, Paul models how thanksgiving provides the proper soil for loving correction, reminding believers that God’s grace, gifts, and faithfulness remain the foundation of Christian growth.
We begin a new series in 1 Corintians by considering each phrase of the first three verses of the letter.
This sermon explores the faith journey of Abraham and the powerful truth that God holds on to us even when our faith falters. Abraham often displayed fear, doubt, and a lack of trust in God's promises, struggling to believe that he and Sarah could have a child of their own. Yet God's choice of Abraham was never based on Abraham's abilities or perfect faith - it was rooted entirely in God's grace. Through Abraham's story, we are reminded that God chooses, sustains, and remains faithful to His people despite their weaknesses. Because our lives and faith matter to God, He refines and tests us, not to abandon us, but to strengthen our trust in Him. This sermon highlights the comforting reality that our relationship with God rests on His faithfulness and grace, not our own strength.
This sermon explores 1 Peter 4:10–11 and expalins how God uses the many experiences of our lives- our education, family background, careers, spiritual journey, successes, struggles, and even our deepest pains - to equip us for serving others. Every believer has received gifts and opportunities to be a faithful steward of God's grace. As we serve others with the strength that God provides, rather than relying on our own abilities, our lives become channels of His grace and instruments of His purpose. Ultimately, our service is not about personal recognition but about bringing glory and praise to God through Jesus Christ.
This sermon explores Matthew 28:16–20 and Jesus' Great Commission to His followers. It highlights how mission begins with worship, as the disciples first recognized and responded to the risen Christ. Because Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, His call to go into both saved and unsaved spaces carries the highest priority for every believer. The commission is not merely to make converts but to make disciples who embody God's love, peace, justice, and community among all nations. The sermon also emphasizes the assurance of Jesus' continual presence through the Holy Spirit as we participate in His mission. It challenges us to examine our attitude: Are we willing to recognize the authority of Jesus and allow His call to take precedence over every other priority in our lives?
This sermon explores Acts 9:31 and highlights how the growth, strength, and ministry of the church are enabled by the Holy Spirit. It examines the Spirit's role in providing wisdom, indwelling believers, empowering witness, inspiring preaching and prophecy, enabling repentance, performing miracles and healings, and revealing God's presence among His people. Through the example of the early church, we learn how dependence on the Holy Spirit leads to spiritual growth, encouragement, and effective ministry. Without the Holy Spirit, the church lacks the power, guidance, and divine presence necessary to fulfill its God-given mission.
This sermon explores Acts 2:1–21 and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost . Through the powerful image of fire, we see how the Spirit of God transcends every barrier of language, culture, fear, and separation. Fire throughout Scripture represents God’s holiness, His protection, His presence, and the testing and refining of our works. Why does God use fire? Because fire warms what is cold, illuminates what is dark, purifies what is impure, releases power and energy, and melts different elements together into one. In the same way, the Holy Spirit comes to revive hearts, bring clarity, cleanse lives, empower believers, and unite people into one body under Christ. This sermon calls the church to move beyond division and be transformed by the refining and unifying fire of God’s Spirit.
This sermon explores Gospel of Matthew 28:19–20, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey His Word. It looks at the different facets of baptism - as a command from Jesus, an important first step of obedience for every believer, and a public declaration of faith. Baptism is an outward symbol of an inward reality, representing the forgiveness of sins and our identification with Jesus in His death and resurrection. It marks the decision to leave behind the old life and walk in the new life found in Christ, demonstrating a believer’s commitment to follow Him.
Why celebrate Ascension Day? Luke 24:50–53 reminds us that Jesus returned to the Father and took His place on the throne in glory. From heaven He poured out the Holy Spirit upon His Church, continues to pray and intercede for us, and reigns as our victorious King. The ascension gives us hope and confidence, because the same Jesus who ascended into heaven has promised that He will come again.
Why celebrate Ascension Day? Because after bearing the scars of battle at the cross and rising victorious from the grave, Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father in glory and authority. We celebrate His reign as King, His victory over sin and death, and the assurance that He now intercedes for His people.
This Mother’s Day sermon explores how a mother’s faith can shape the course of history. In the midst of fear and uncertainty, Jochebed, the mother of Moses, understood that the child she carried ultimately belonged to God, and her faith moved her to act with courage and trust. The message also highlights the quiet, unscripted courage of the women God used to preserve Moses’ life - even when it meant defying the law. Their faithfulness became part of God’s greater purpose. As parents, there comes a point where we reach the limit of what we can do for our children and must place them into God’s hands. Do we trust Him to carry them where they are meant to go?
Genesis 16 -The God Who Sees Me. This Mothers' Day sermon explores the story of Hagar, a slave and foreigner in a patriarchal society. She is called to walk a painful and difficult road, yet in the middle of her suffering, God meets her personally as “the God who sees me.” Though overlooked and mistreated by people, she is fully seen and known by God. In contrast, Sarah exposes the gap that can exist between speaking about God’s promises and trusting Him in everyday life. This sermon invites us to turn toward the God who sees us in our wilderness moments and to respond with renewed faith, trust, and passion.
In Acts 1:1–14, the disciples find themselves in the space between promise and fulfillment . What does it mean to live faithfully when there’s no visible proof yet? The Christian life is not built on having all the answers, but on trusting the One who does. This sermon explores how we hold onto trust in seasons of waiting, asking: will you trust God in the midst of unbelief, pray before you see results, and obey even before you feel ready?
This sermon confronts the reality of doubt in a world filled with suffering, unanswered questions, and personal pain. Faith can feel fragile, yet doubt is not foreign to the Christian life; it often walks alongside faith. The story of Thomas reminds us to show mercy to those who doubt. This sermon explores the tension between questioning and trusting, asking honestly: am I wrestling in faith, or turning away in disobedience? Through this, we reflect on the fragility of faith, the assurance Christ offers, and the ultimate glory of a faith that endures.
Inspired by the story of Ruth, this sermon reflects the truth that God is sovereign and in control, no matter what we face. What may seem like ordinary moments or ‘divine coincidences’ are actually part of a greater plan unfolding. Through every step, God was orchestrating a story that would ultimately point to salvation for the world. It’s a testimony of His unfailing love, woven through every detail - reminding us that His promises remain true.
Inspired by Galatians 5:1, Psalms 187, and Luke 22:49–53, this sermon reflects the call to live as freedom fighters in God’s Kingdom. As Christians, our freedom is rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s a freedom already won, yet not fully realized - something we continue to grow into and walk out daily.
This sermon explores Luke 24 and asks why the disciples were still surprised by the resurrection, despite Old Testament prophecies and Jesus’ own predictions. It reflects on how Christ patiently opens our eyes to the truth of His promises.
This sermon explores whether faith and good works can be separated, unpacking James 2:14-26 and its apparent tension with Ephesians 2:8-9. It reveals how salvation by grace and a life of active faith work together, rather than stand in contradiction.
This sermon explores God’s deep and deliberate desire to eliminate sin through the incarnation and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. It reveals that salvation is not a passive act, but a profound and costly process-one that involves a supernatural battle between righteousness and evil. Through the coming of Christ, God steps into human history to confront sin at its root, ultimately overcoming it through the cross. Through Matthew 1:21 and Romans 5, we see Christ’s mission to save and the depth of God’s love displayed on the cross. Isaiah 55:5–6 calls us to respond urgently, reminding us that this victory invites us into redemption and new life.
