We are beginning a new sermon series on 1 Corinthians to coincide with our school year theme of "Choosing Unity". You and I both know how polarized our world is right now and how much more fractured it can become in an election season. We have lost the ability to really listen to one another. We take sides. We take positions and, let's be honest, sometimes we forget why. Now more than ever the Church has a responsibility to be bridge builders and peacemakers in our community.
We do not live in a perfect and just world. Disputes happen among people in communities, neighborhoods, and families all the time. They are part of our lives. How we handle disputes says more about us than even how the dispute arose in the first place. How we handle disputes is a reflection of our faith.
When we take sides, we neglect to see one another. Let us remember from where we have come and give thanks.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. But what is freedom? What does it really mean to be free? This week, Pastor Karla shares that it is true that Christ has set us free, but our freedom is not to be used as an excuse to hurt others.

We all have seen or maybe even been a part of those projects that start, but never seem to get finished. It's kind of like chores around the house...they never seem to get fully completed. Have you ever noticed that is how our lives are? Or better yet, if you have ever raised children, you understand the feeling of never being able to complete the job (whatever that means). Thats because we/people are always "in progress".
This week, Pastor Karla relates this idea to the "temple of God". But it's not a physical structure. It is not even "me". It is us!! We are always in progress as we choose to build unity together on this earth, and it is a legacy that we will leave for future generations to continue the building.

We spend a lot of time and energyu caring for our bodies. Exercise. Club memberships. Spa treatments. Fad diets. Why? Probably because we want to have the healthiest body we can in order to take on all that life has in store. Just like our physical bodies develop, so our spiritual bodies need to be developed as well.
This week, Pastor Karla talks about how develop our spiritual bodies, and more importantly, she poses the questions of what gets in the way of spiritual growth? Has something stunted your growth?

What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom? And where does wisdom come from? This week, Pastor Karla teaches us that all people have been invited to tap into God’s Spirit, why is it so difficult for us to do so?

Our story is more than just our truth; it is also the avenue for God’s power to be revealed. Let us celebrate our weakness!

What is it about explosions that are so attractive? We stop and are in awe when we see something explode. I think it has something to do with the power of the explosion and our draw towards power. This week, Pastor Karla talks about the power of the cross, but it's different than the power of the world. The message of the cross is an invitation to death—who would want that?The message of the cross is an invitation to death—who would want that? And to those who follow Jesus, what is it about the cross that attracts us?

We grow up in a society that endorses and maybe even worships competition. And while there is benefit in "healthy competition", our vision becomes skewed by competition, and can lead to us losing sight of the purpose of the Church. Pastor Karla discusses how do we balance preference with truth?

This week, Pastor Karla begins our "Choosing Unity" Series by encouraging us that to be a part of the Church is to be part of a movement which is connected across time and place. Our focus is Christ, and our commonality is our calling. Is that enough?

How many of us walk around with unmet needs in our lives? What would it look like to have all of our needs met? How can practicing hospitality lead to joy? This week, Pastor Karla discusses how the hospitality we extend to one another is a practice field for extending grace to others.

Vulnerability. We don't like that word much in our individistic, self-sufficiency culture. But it is a word we must address head on in our lives if we wish to imitate Jesus in our hospitality. Today, Pastor Karla takes us into the intimate setting of a meal in ancient culture. She addresses the issue of filling our lives with only what we desire doesn’t leave room for much else. Who might God be calling you to invite to the table?

This year at the church we have been moving our Faith Forward by exploring discipleship in the gospel of Matthew. Near the end of the book of Matthew, Jesus calls his disciples to give special consideration for those on the margins of society, what he calls "the least of these". In taking care of orphans, widows, prisoners, and the like, we have the privilege of serving Jesus, himself. This summer at PLCPC, while Pastor Karla is on Sabbatical, we have the unique opportunity to hear from some of our Christian sisters and brothers who are doing this type of frontline discipleship ministry. The speakers range from those doing ministry to the unhoused, to those releasing people in bondage from human trafficking, to those helping refugees on our own border. Hopefully, you will be inspired and encouraged to take your own step in deeper discipleship by hearing their stories. Wherever God calls, might we all have the courage to answer.
This week, we conclude our summer speaker series with our Director of Community Life, Evan Gratz. Evan encourages us as Christ followers we are called to more than just reading our bibles and believing in God. But oftentimes we try to find loopholes that will keep us in our comfort zones and get us “off the hook” from doing what He is asking of us. However, Jesus very specifically tells us that how we treat “the least of these” and love others is how we treat and show love to Him. What does it look like to live a life of loving God by fully loving others without condition.

Jim Martin serves as IJM’s Vice President of Spiritual Formation. In this role for over a decade, Jim has worked with IJM's global leaders to strengthen IJM’s foundation of Christian spiritual formation. Jim seeks to equip IJM staff worldwide to do the work of justice joyfully and sustainably with ever-deepening dependence on God. Prior to this position, Jim served as IJM’s Vice President of Church Mobilization, where he led a team working to move churches to a deeper level of understanding of God's passion for justice.
This week, Jim reminds us that the church that Jesus came to establish is hard-wired for the life-and-death struggles of this world. It is a church that brings good news to the poor, that proclaims release to the captives, and lets the oppressed go free. It is a church, says Jesus, that the gates of hell will not prevail against. What does it look like for the church to engage today’s life-and-death struggles? What does it look like for us, as followers of Jesus, to be light in the darkness? Weaving the words of scripture together with frontline stories of the work of International Justice Mission, Jim Martin paints a compelling picture of the church’s role to bring the light of rescue and restoration into some of the deepest darkness in our world today.

Rev. Dr. Melissa Hofstetter is a Mennonite minister and a psychologist. She is the executive director of Shepherd Heart, a ministry organization that cares for clergy and congregations through retreats, pastoral care, ministry consultation, and continued education.
This week, Melissa encourages us that if we learn to listen well and look deeply-- to attend and attune like Jesus-- we can meet each other at our places of greatest need and offer one another restoration, within our own church community.

Rev. Dr. Sean Chow is the Executive Director of the San Diego Presbytery. He is leading the presbytery through a strategic vision to plant churches, revitalize churches, and be more missionally focused. Sean was the Associate for 1001 New Worshiping Communities for Training and Leadership Cohorts for the Presbyterian Church. He resources and consults with regional denomination bodies, churches, and church plants as they launch new creative expressions of church.
This week, Rev. Dr. Chow examines how pastors, church leaders, and congregations are searching to reconnect themselves to a changing culture. The church we once knew has lost its relevance and is searching for meaning amidst shifting contexts. No longer is the church the priority of families and the spiritual pivot point for communities. It has been replaced with less engagement of its members, low involvement, and programs that are not connecting with those outside its walls. The church, once relevant has become a relic of a time gone by, but how do we engage those outside the church wall?

This week, Seth discusses how Jesus' early followers went out to preach and bring healing to the suffering. What do we do about the suffering that is right in our own backyard along and between the border walls?

This year at the church we have been moving our Faith Forward by exploring discipleship in the gospel of Matthew. Near the end of the book of Matthew, Jesus calls his disciples to give special consideration for those on the margins of society, what he calls "the least of these". In taking care of orphans, widows, prisoners, and the like, we have the privilege of serving Jesus, himself. This summer at PLCPC, while Pastor Karla is on Sabbatical, we have the unique opportunity to hear from some of our Christian sisters and brothers who are doing this type of frontline discipleship ministry. The speakers range from those doing ministry to the unhoused, to those releasing people in bondage from human trafficking, to those helping refugees on our own border. Hopefully, you will be inspired and encouraged to take your own step in deeper discipleship by hearing their stories. Wherever God calls, might we all have the courage to answer.
Our speaker for today, Steve Denney, is truly living this mission out in his role as Executive Director of Children's Heritage Foundation, a small non-profit focussed on transformational development through tangible acts of love in areas of extreme poverty.
Steve conveys to us that you don’t have to go far to discover “the least of these” reside in our own neighborhoods. He walks us through 3 convictions that get in the way of loving our neighbor, as well as 3 practices we can take on that will help us see Jesus in the world around us.

Noel (Noxy) Musicha was born and raised in Lilongwe, Malawi and is Congolese by heritage. He is the co-creator of a small but mighty church among the materially poor and diverse immigrants of San Diego. The church, Ebenezer, is transforming its town with everyday, practical Theology. He has a degree in Biblical studies and communications and a Masters in Public Administration. He also acknowledges playing football professionally, including his short stint with the Malawian National Team, as some of his quality education. Noel currently teaches at the University of San Diego, Pastors the community, and coaches youth football in between. Noel is a father of 3 - Jazarra (11), Theophilus (9), and Israel 6. He is married to his college friend Melissa, also a college and semi-professional football (soccer) player.
This week, Noel inspires us to examine the people who responded to God's call. Men and women who seek after God throughout history have had an uncanny ability to look at the past. God is alive today and doing practical work today in our homes, neighborhoods, cities, and the world. Will you respond to God call on your life?

We are privileged to hear from author and speaker, Kevin Nye. Kevin is a writer and advocate working toward ending homelessness by engaging best practices. Kevin’s first book released in August of 2022 and is titled, "Grace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessness". Kevin currently lives with his wife and son in Minneapolis, MN, where he works as Housing Director at an organization addressing youth homelessness. This week, Kevin discusses the "Parable of the Soewer" and how the Sower throws good seeds to all kinds of soil, regardless of what may come of them. What can we learn from this act of grace in our interaction with the unhoused?

This week, Rev. Doug Satre joins us from Plant With Purpose. Plant With Purpose works to help subsistence farming families to thrive and to overcome the challenges of poverty and environmental degradation. While their circumstances may be different from ours, we have much in common. All of us are called to love and walk with Jesus. In the process we have an opportunity to know Him and ourselves better, to develop our gifts and talents, and to become agents of healing in our world.

We are taking a break from our Faith Forward Series for this special Pentecost Sunday message for all. The early Church had to figure out many things about its purpose, identity and how it would carry out God's will. The diversity of ideas and opinions put great pressure on the early leaders and on the church at large. The gifts given to individuals by the Holy Spirit helped push the early church to the realization that God was shaping the church to reflect His purposes and will, driving the church to recognize its total dependence on God's Spirit to guide and direct. The diversity of gifted people, working to serve God helps us discover that relationships are critical for being God's church.

We are taking a break from our Faith Forward Series for this special Mother's Day message for all. We have all been there. That moment when we need a life line, we need a "God intervention", and so we pray, beg, and plead with God to help us. And we make promises to God based on his response to our ask. Sometimes we follow thoughj, ands sometimes we don't.
In times of distress is it easy to make promises to God. If we hold to those promises, look what God can do!

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus calls men and women to follow him. This discipleship in which he calls them to, does not take place in a traditional classroom or student-teacher setting. This discipelship takes place in the "everyday" aspects of life: walking along the road, attending celebrations, and having conversations in the local water hole. We are called to the same life of faith...one that is ACTIVE. During this next season of our church, we desire to shift our discipleship into an active, purposeful endeavor.
Discipleship is costly. It requires your best and your all, but the love it returns is immeasurable.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus calls men and women to follow him. This discipleship in which he calls them to, does not take place in a traditional classroom or student-teacher setting. This discipelship takes place in the "everyday" aspects of life: walking along the road, attending celebrations, and having conversations in the local water hole. We are called to the same life of faith...one that is ACTIVE. During this next season of our church, we desire to shift our discipleship into an active, purposeful endeavor.
Being a disciple of Jesus requires us to see a force beyond this world. Yet, even in the mysterious spiritual realm God still has the authority.

Have you ever noticed how we tend to ask our kids a lot of questions? Why do we do this. We tend to ask our kids (and others) a lot of questions not just because of curiosity, but because we want them to have the freed to respond. The reality is, as much as well-behaved children or controlled, predictable behaviors are desirable—independent, free-spirited children (and people) who make their own thoughtful choices are a greater desire. That why God in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament also ask us so many questions. God wants us to be free to choose, God desires our engagement, more specifically God wants us to feel free to choose Him. We now make the shift from Questions God asks to "Questions Jesus Asks".
This week, Evan Gratz concludes our series by examining how we often become too comfortable and complacent, especially in those places in our lives that need healing the most. It's in those times we're reminded that God offers us more than just a temporary, physical healing, but the ultimate healing of spirit and heart.

Have you ever noticed how we tend to ask our kids a lot of questions? Why do we do this. We tend to ask our kids (and others) a lot of questions not just because of curiosity, but because we want them to have the freed to respond. The reality is, as much as well-behaved children or controlled, predictable behaviors are desirable—independent, free-spirited children (and people) who make their own thoughtful choices are a greater desire.

This week, Pastor Karla explores the question Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say I am?" In doing so, we too are faced with the question, "Who is Christ to you?" Do you view him as a great moral teacher or as Lord? How one answers that question is the extent to which God is able to reveal Himself.

We are in a series called "Never Too Old For Fairy Tales: Engaging Our Biblical Imagination". From now through June, we will hopefully be enchanted with the story of God again. Not just the story of God found in Scriptures, but the story of God that continues in this present moment. We will be engaging our imaginations and creativity, which seem to atrophy as we grow into adulthood, by revisiting some childhood fairytales and discovering how these stories might illuminate God and the Scriptures for us in a new way.
“Cinderella” is a story for the ages, and one with which we are very familiar. We love the hope it brings especially if we are the ones living on the margins. This great reversal is written in the story of Christ.

This Lent we will be unpacking parts of the book of Judges. There is probably no book in the Bible as depressing as this book, except maybe Job or Lamentations, as it is a book that speaks directly about the failure of Israel. This is a shady book about a shady time in their history and its wedged right in between some really good years.
Moses' mantle of leadership was being passed onto the next generation in Joshua. It was a hopeful time. The people were ready to receive. They had been through enough that they were open to God’s call.
But then, by the time we reach the book of Judges, the Israelites have already settled in the land of promise and it has not been as great as it could have been. Joshua has now died and what we discover is that the Israelites’ have not followed Moses’ instruction at all. Namely, they have not conquered the Canaanites who were living in the land prior to God’s invitation of possession.
For this Easter Sunday, Pastor Karla Shaw discusses the image the Scriptures give us of our risen Lord are magical. Yet, even in the grandeur, Christ is still present saying “Do not be afraid”. How do we carry this message of power and hope to a world in need?

This Lent we will be unpacking parts of the book of Judges. There is probably no book in the Bible as depressing as this book, except maybe Job or Lamentations, as it is a book that speaks directly about the failure of Israel. This is a shady book about a shady time in their history and its wedged right in between some really good years.
Moses' mantle of leadership was being passed onto the next generation in Joshua. It was a hopeful time. The people were ready to receive. They had been through enough that they were open to God’s call.
But then, by the time we reach the book of Judges, the Israelites have already settled in the land of promise and it has not been as great as it could have been. Joshua has now died and what we discover is that the Israelites’ have not followed Moses’ instruction at all. Namely, they have not conquered the Canaanites who were living in the land prior to God’s invitation of possession.
This week, Pastor Karla encourgaeds us in that despite our squandering of God’s gift, even when we give into temptations, God bestows His mercy.
Passage: Judges 16

We have been unpacking parts of the book of Deuteronomy. This book is part of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the bible) or what our Jewish brothers and sisters call the Torah. Deuteronomy is not a book that advances the Scriptures much in any way historically or otherwise. It is really just a repeat, a summary of the previous four books, but being a summary does not mean it does not have value. In fact, this book contains Moses’ last words to his people as their leader before the mantle of leadership is passed onto Joshua. These are the last words Moses speaks before the Israelites finally enter the Promised Land.
This week, Pastore Karla closes the series discussing how one of the most profound exhortations of Moses before the end of his life was to “Choose life!” and to do so, not just for self-satisfaction, but for our children and grandchildren. Are you choosing the life which Moses spoke about?
Passage: Deuteronomy 30:1-4; 19
We are thrilled to kick off a Capital Campaign that has been 12 years in the making! We have an incredible opportunity to shape the faith of generations to come. What an opportunity we have to be a part of this! This renovation is estimated to cost $4.5 million. As a part of this church family, we are encouraging every member of our family to participate during our six week campaign. We invite you to consider how you might prayerfully and sacrificially give to the future of our church. We look forward to us building together for generations to come.

Free will is part of what it means to be human but that doesn’t mean God doesn’t try and steer us in the right direction. How are you being blessed in God’s way? Is there any area where you feel stuck?

One of the ways God richly blessed the Israelites in the Promised Land was through central worship. Our coming together in worship of God is a gift of our faith and another reminder of God’s covenant with us.

Pastor Karla discusses how one of the ways we keep the story of God alive is by remembering and recounting. What are ways we can continue to pass on God’s story of grace to the next generation?

Rev. Karla Shaw opens the study of the final book of the Pentateuch, explaining how Moses encourages the people to look forward to the promises of the Lord. God’s faithfulness is what helps them to trust an unknown future. Might the same be true for us?

The stories, scriptures, and traditions of the Christmas season have been passed down to us throughout the generations. Many of us enter this season with a swell of memories and emotions as vast as the cultural and religious rituals this holiday holds. Like a tapestry woven throughout time, the Christmas story weaves us in—to remember how God has shown up in the past, to continue the work of collective liberation, to behold the presence of God in flesh and bone.
Our Advent theme is also a call to action: what are we being called to generate or bring forth? What have your ancestors and those who have come before you passed on for you to continue? Considering the many ways we embody, remember, and tell the story of Christ’s birth, which rituals hold the most meaning for you? What about this season will you pass on to the next generation?
From Age to Age… reminds us of the ways our lives, histories, actions, and stories are interconnected and woven together. The work of God is always unfolding—in and through us. This Advent, may you remember that you belong—to a story etched into the wrinkles of time, to generations that have come before and will come after, to a love that won’t let you go. (cited www. sanctifiedart.org)
Today, our Director of Community Life, Evan Gratz, wraps up our "From Age To Age" Series. Just like the wise men who never stopped their seeking of God’s ways, this new year let us keep seeking–wisdom, justice, and peace in our world.

This morning, we learn that the way we see the divine in each other impacts how we live and move in the world. Sometimes it is only the stories of previous generations of faith that keep us moving.

The stories, scriptures, and traditions of the Christmas season have been passed down to us throughout the generations. Many of us enter this season with a swell of memories and emotions as vast as the cultural and religious rituals this holiday holds. Like a tapestry woven throughout time, the Christmas story weaves us in—to remember how God has shown up in the past, to continue the work of collective liberation, to behold the presence of God in flesh and bone.
Our Advent theme is also a call to action: what are we being called to generate or bring forth? What have your ancestors and those who have come before you passed on for you to continue? Considering the many ways we embody, remember, and tell the story of Christ’s birth, which rituals hold the most meaning for you? What about this season will you pass on to the next generation?
From Age to Age… reminds us of the ways our lives, histories, actions, and stories are interconnected and woven together. The work of God is always unfolding—in and through us. This Advent, may you remember that you belong—to a story etched into the wrinkles of time, to generations that have come before and will come after, to a love that won’t let you go. (cited www. sanctifiedart.org)
Each generation has their own anxiety and fear, particularly about the future. Yet, God continues to be faithful through our courage to say “yes”.

We are in the final week of our series entitled Stewardship With the Saints, in which we look at various "saints" through out Church history and how they gave according to what God called them to give.
During this season, we reflect on what God has done in our community over the past year, and give thanks for His grace, as well as look to the the next and ask how God might be calling each of us to contribute in growing His community at PLCPC.
Rev. Karla Shaw talks about how giving is a call for all of us regardless of resources and in the Church so is honoring the giver of the gift. This lack of partiality helps us celebrate the true Giver.

We are wrapping up our summer sermon series entitled "No! That's Not in the Bible". We have been exploring different quips and sayings that often get attributed to the Bible when they are either severely misquoted or misunderstood, or they are not in the Bible altogether. It was a lot of fun.
This week, Pastor Karl Shaw closes our series with the phrase "Listen to your heart". She discusses how our emotions can be fickle and self-oriented and, although they are given by God, we must first submit ourselves to the Lord before our heart can be trusted.

This week, our Director of Community Life, Evan Gratz, tries to dispell the "puppeteering" people think God is doing and how every detail of life is somehow ordained by Him. Basically even though nothing surprised God, there's a difference between God CAUSING something to happen and God ALLOWING something to happen, but then working that to good.

Droughts and floods are old and constant themes in scripture. Here's one version: God shows us a flood of Grace. We love God for it but then we forget our way into a drought. God calls us back to the water and floods us with Grace and Love again. This is a very natural, very human, ebb and flow and God loves us in it. We spend a lot of time in shame and guilt for the drought times but God wants to set us free from that.

In the introduction to the book of Ezra, we are reminded that God fulfills his promises and his people are restored.
Passage: Ezra 1:1-11
We’ve just celebrated the coming of our God as a vulnerable little child; an incredible incarnation. Our God with no real need for a body, chooses skin like ours and chooses all the growing pains and weirdness of adolescence. Our God, knower of all things, chose to come learn from us. How does that even work? How can Jesus as a child sit at the feet of human teachers to learn but at the same time have full knowledge that the creator of the universe is his Holy Parent?
Passage: Luke 2:41-51
We have heard this passage many times, but have we really understood the profundity of the event that took place? It's a story we have sanitized and made palpable, but it was anything but that. It was meant to "get in the way" of our lives, and change the course of it forever.
Passage: Luke 2:1-20
The coming of Christ promises a righteous leader that will teach us how to love one another.
Passage: Isaiah 11:1-10
The coming of Christ promises national boundaries to shift and God’s Kingdom to be the center.

God gives and then he takes away, in both we give thanks.
Passage: 1 Samuel 1:1-20
Speaker: Evan Gratz
The secret (that wasn’t so secret) allows us to see that the accountability for our sin is God’s grace allowing us to be forgiven.
Passage: 2 Samuel 12:1-15
The power of God is grace and it can show up in unexpected places and in unexpected ways.
Passage: 1 Kings 18:20-40
Greed can cause us to do horrible things to one another. Yet, once again, God’s grace shows up when we release.
Passage: Genesis 28:10-22
Sometimes it is hard to believe that God is at work, yet even when we don’t believe God manages to break in.

Often we only see the negative side of life, but even in our pessimism God breeds new life and give us a different perspective.
Passage: Ezekiel 37:1-14
This week, Rev. Alex Wirth discusses how in an entitled world, we often believe we have earned it, so we deserve to have it all. The Bible teaches us differently though, everything in our life is grace.
Passage: Genesis 22:1-14
The personification of Grace is found in Jesus Christ, but God’s grace was in our world long before the cross.
Passage: John 1:14-16
When we worship God as solely transcendent and not immanent, we dismiss God’s life in us and, as a result, through us.
Passage: John 17:20-26
God did not promise us a life without difficulty, but God did promise to be with us through it all. This defining characteristic of our faith allows us to be more bold.
Passage: Joshua 1:1-9
The Holy Spirit is the love between God and Jesus and is also the connection for us to that very same love. Understanding we are never separated from God’s love shapes our story.
Passage: John 14:15-17
Jesus wasn’t just a good man or a great teacher, he was God incarnate. This seemingly small distinction makes all the difference in our faith and practice.

Passage: Acts 28:23-31
This week, Rev. Alex Wirth shares how Paul spends three months on the island of Malta and his soul and body are restored. He couldn’t stay in paradise forever though, as God beckoned him on. God calls us to trust him as well.
Acts 28:1-10
This week, Rev. Chris Lenocker speaks about how God is in control, and as long as we submit to trusting Him, he will take care of us in the struggles of life.
Passage: Acts 27:22-26
Today, Pastor Karla looks at Pauls journey to Rome. Paul always knew that he would end up in Rome so the gospel could be spread, but he had no idea the way he would go to get there. God always has a plan.
Passage: Acts 25:13-26:32
We went back to our roots and had an all-church combined "bluegrass style" service. This week, Pastor Karla talks about how Paul is put on trial and he is able to use his precarious situation to put a wedge between the Jews. God grants us wisdom in difficult situations.
Passage: Acts 22-23
Pastor Chris Lenocker discusses how Paul no longer believed it was necessary to participate in Jewish traditions to be a follower of the Way. Yet, he continues to walk alongside his brothers so he might be heard.
Passage: Acts 21:17-26
RO Smith talks about Paul's final speech to the elders of Ephesus, and asks the question: If our next interaction with someone was our last, what would we want to tell them?
Passage: Acts 20:17-35
Today, Evan Gratz talks about how religion is not the same thing as relationship. Religion is constructed by humanity, whereas relationship is created by God.
Passage: Acts 19:21-31
All of humankind is on a search for meaning, but Christ puts a face to the mystery.
Passage: Acts 17:16-34

When we commodify God and try to market Him we misrepresent real power.
Passage: Acts 16:16-31
When the early church was faced with growing diversity, they chose to import only what was necessary in worship. Are we barriers to knowing God?
Passage: Acts 15:1-21
Sometimes it is easy to take credit for the work God is doing, but that gets in the way of movement. In this passage Paul and Barnabas could have easily gone along with the crowd and taken credit for the miracles but instead they chose to follow God and give God the credit despite being in danger as a result.
Passage: Acts 14:8-20
Today, our Director of Adult Ministries and Community Life shares with us that when we set our minds on Christ and not on earthly things, we are released of the labels that people and culture put on us and can be free to live the life that God has intended. That’s where we find our true identity.
This week, we are taking a breaking from our "Dust Off Their Feet" Series, and we hear from Associate Pastor Alex Wirth. He preaches from John 10:22-30 and Psalm 23. With Christ’s resurrection, the Lamb (who spent time with us sheep and goats and knows what we need) has become the shepherd and calls us all to him to be one faithful herd.
God has the power to release us from captivity with a response of trust. Passage - Acts 12:1-19
God understands that the message of resurrection is a hard one to believe. Even in our disbelief, God guides us to Himself. **NOTE: Recorded at our Easter Service in the Sanctuary. Apologies for the sound quality.
Jesus triumphal entry was not what his follower’s expected. We are also guilty at times of seeking another kind of King.
Job 42:1-6 & 7-9
Today, Pastor Karla closes out our study of the Book of Job. Even though Job’s life is restored he still never knows why all this happened to him. A fierce faith at times requires us to live with more questions than answers.
God finally breaks the silence by asking Job a question. This question is not what Job is expecting when the silence breaks. Evan Gratz discusses the messages of hope to found in the whirlwind response.
Today, Pastor Karla preaches from Job 23 in which Job encounters the silence of God. At times in our own lives finding God’s presence feels impossible. Our assumptions about God often play a role in this absence.
Job’s circumstances cause him to cry out to God for relief. Lament can be a faithful response to our life struggles.
We are taking a break from our study of the Book of Acts, and for the season of Lent, we are partaking on a journey into the Book of Job. This week, pastor Karla introduces us to the person of Job, and the circumstances of his life:
"As children, most of us are taught right from wrong. Most children learn the difference between right and wrong by the results of their behavior. If you do something good, you're rewarded; and if you do something bad, there's a consequence. This is instilled in us from a very young age, so it's no wonder that as we grow into adults that we expect those same, logical results from our Heavenly Parent."
But what happens when life doesn't follow that logical flow? Join us, as we explore this question of theodicy during the Lent season.
This week, Pastor Karla asks, "How do you change the world?" In exploring today's passage, we see how small actions applied at the right time in the right place can have cataclysmic effects on the people and world around us.
Events happen to us all the time that are meant for transformation. Living into the results of change, is the story yet to be written.
This week, we are taking a look at Acts 8:26-39. Pastor Karla delves into the story of Phillip's encounter with the Ethiopian Eunuch. Sometimes it may feel like we carry the world on our shoulders, but God is the one with the weight, and he desires us to help him lighten the load.
This week, Pastor Karla examines the story of the stoning of Stephen, and how the terrible events that happen in our lives are not beyond God's control and purpose.
This week, Pastor Chris looks at an odd and hard to understand passage in the book of Acts - Acts 5:1-11. A commitment to a life given to God comes with great responsibility. As we live in response to God’s deep and intimate love for us our behavior has consequences – some good, some catastrophic.
Our desire at Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church is to love everyone to LIFE with everything we have. Through authentic community, we seek to EXPERIENCE Jesus, JOURNEY into deeper faith, STRENGTHEN the Church, and TRANSFORM our world.
This week's story comes from Acts 4. Pastor Karla talk about how once we are connected to God’s love through the Holy Spirit there is nothing we can’t do. God gives us power to stand firm and release our lives.
NOTE: The recording starts in the middle of the reading of the passage. None of the sermon content is missed.
This week, Pastor Karla opens up Acts 3:1-10. The movement of the Way began through touch and gaze, we see that most clearly in this story of Peter and the crippled beggar.
Our desire at Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church is to love everyone to LIFE with everything we have. Through authentic community, we seek to EXPERIENCE Jesus, JOURNEY into deeper faith, STRENGTHEN the Church, and TRANSFORM our world.
We continue our series in the book of Acts. This week, Pastor Alex examines the story of the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. The coming of the Holy Spirit is the greatest gift post-resurrection that God gave us, as the primary job of the Holy Spirit is to connect us to the love of God.
This week, Pastor Karla introduces us to the book of Acts. In Acts 1:1-11, Karla explores how Jesus' ascension was more than to fulfill prophecy. It is an invitation for all of us to be participators in the spreading of God’s Kingdom.
