Hear the message.....live God's word........

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105

"In the Beginning" (Current)

The Bible is a Story: about God, about the world he created, and about us. It's a Story that builds and blossoms from beginning to end. And like any good story, the beginning, middle, and end are all intricately woven together in a beautiful fabric where we can find our place and our purpose. Genesis 1-12 "sets the scene" for God's Story. Yet, while many of us know the individual stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, and the Tower of Babel, most of us would have trouble showing how these little stories fit into the big Story or how the Gospel Story is being whispered even in these early moments. Those are the goals of this Fall sermon series, "In the Beginning."

"Going Small" (Summer 2011)

Many churches are trying to get bigger! What if the key to spiritual growth is by getting smaller? Jesus' disciples became world-changers. But how? Perhaps one of the most important lessons we learn from Jesus' disciple-making process is one we often overlook: Jesus made disciples in a small group context. This summer, we will look at some of the away-from-the-spotlight moments Jesus had with his disciples and how these moments were central in helping them become men and women who could lead the Church. Finally, we will ask how this small group principle fits into our life at PPUCC.

"The Resurrection Life" (Easter Season 2011)

Jesus' Resurrection is a display of God's plan for the world and for us and an invitation to join into this life of victorious power and love. What does this "Resurrection Life" look like? I think we get a glimpse in Matthew 28:18-20, often known as "The Great Commission." Until Pentecost, we explore these three verses as a blueprint for living life in light of Jesus' Resurrection.

"The Cross and Us" (Lent 2011)

Lent is a time to stop, assess, and reflect. In Lent, we are called to take an honest look at ourselves and things about life that may be difficult. When we do this, many of us find fear in our hearts and minds. During Lent, we will look at some of the places these fears come from: guilt, shame, worthlessness, loneliness, and confusion. When we honestly bring these emotions and fears to the Cross of Jesus, the Bible tells us that they can be transformed. Into what? Take a listen...

That Thing We Do: Worship Series (Winter 2011)

What are we really doing when we gather on Sunday morning? Many of us come to the church building Sunday after Sunday without ever really asking the question, "Why?" In this series, we explore the various "things we do" during our worship services from prelude to benediction and find how they help us to be planted in the Story of God, express our praise, and have our lives formed by the Gospel.

Advent and Christmas 2010

During the Advent Season, we look at some of the words of Isaiah that were intended to prepare us for the Messiah, God's Chosen One. We look at who Jesus is, how we can live as his followers, and how we can prepare for the time when he returns.

Ephesians Worship Series(Fall 2010)

There may not be any better place to start if we want to get a vision of who Jesus is, what God is doing with this world, who we are as Christians, and what the Church is called to do and be. Verse by verse, we will discover the amazing grace of God's plan and the life-changing calling of the Gospel.
