## Messages

- [Message: "Take Up Your Cross" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/take-up-your-cross) - A message from the series "Luke." Jesus tells us how to “save” ourselves. How do we do it? The way is counterintuitive and paradoxical. It’s also revolutionary.
- [Message: "The Lord Will Provide" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-lord-will-provide) - A message from the series "Luke." Jesus does not merely invite us to follow him; he also sends us out on mission. Unfortunately, he often sends us out before we feel prepared. Fortunately, he promises to provide everything that we will need along the way. Are you ready to follow Jesus on mission?
- [Message: "Life On The Other Side" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/life-on-the-other-side) - A message from the series "Luke." Who do you know that is too far gone—too far gone to receive God’s grace, respond to his call, or be restored by his love? In Luke 8:26-39, we meet a Savior who crosses every boundary to reach the people everyone else has given up on, and he invites us to do the same.
- [Message: "A Brave and Timely Faith" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/a-brave-and-timely-faith) - A message from the series "Luke." Waiting is hard enough when we know what's coming. But what happens when there are no answers, no timeline, and the suffering keeps getting worse? How do we bring our hardships to God with courage and continue trusting Him in the midst of the unknown?
- [Message: "Waves, Worries, and Wavering Faith" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/waves-worries-and-wavering-faith) - A message from the series "Luke." It’s easy to trust Jesus when the seas are calm. But what happens when the storm hits and your boat starts to sink? Jesus uses the storms we face to reveal where our faith is -- and to remind us that he was in control all along.
- [Message: "Who Is This Man?" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/66-who-is-this-man) - A message from the series "Luke." In Luke 7:1-17, Jesus shows us more of who he is - not merely a man, but one with great power and authority to heal from afar and bring life into death. Do we recognize Jesus as the one who can do the impossible? Do we accept the invitation to marvel at his compassion and power?
- [Message: "Secrets of the Kingdom" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/secrets-of-the-kingdom) - A message from the series "Luke." What’s really going on in our world? What should we do about it? Jesus answers these two questions in two parables in which he reveals secrets of the kingdom of God.
- [Message: "To See or Not to See" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/to-see-or-not-to-see) - A message from the series "Luke." Jesus has something to say to us about the way we see people. And in order to see people rightly, we have to see ourselves rightly–and Jesus rightly.
- [Message: "Resetting Expectations" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/resetting-expectations) - A message from the series "Luke." People are often willing to follow Jesus—as long as he behaves the way they expect him to. In Luke 7:18–35, Jesus confronts our assumptions and asks whether we will trust him on his terms rather than our own.
- [Message: "Exodus Summary" from Alma Cho](https://pbc.org/messages/15-exodus-summary) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 2025-2026 Exodus Series
- [Message: "Hear and Do" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/hear-and-do) - A message from the series "Luke." There are resume virtues: those you bring to the marketplace. Then there are eulogy virtues: those are talked about at your funeral—kindness, bravery, honesty, compassion, and the like. Which virtues are more important? And if we want to develop eulogy virtues, how do we do so?
- [Message: "With One Voice" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/upcoming-message) - A message from the series "Witness." In recent decades, people from all over the world have flooded the Bay Area. What does this mean? In light of Peter’s sermon in Acts 2:14-41, it means we have an opportunity.
- [Message: "Jesus the Healer" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/jesus-the-healer) - A message from the series "Witness." We live in a world where people need healing from so many different things. Yet, there is a general resistance to seeking healing in the name of Jesus. In the second sermon of Acts, Peter explains how Jesus offers healing to all who would believe and gives them times of refreshing. Isn't that what everyone wants? How can we communicate that message in a way that resonates with our culture?
- [Message: "A Little Inspiration" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/a-little-inspiration) - A message from the series "Witness." What do we need to share the gospel? Maybe we need a little inspiration. A little inspiration is what the story of Stephen can give us. In the end, Stephen gives us one of the most inspirational images in all of Scripture.
- [Message: "There’s Room At the Table" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/there-s-room-at-the-table) - A message from the series "Witness." This week we will Journey with Peter as he makes his way to Cornelius’s house to share the Gospel with the Gentiles in Acts 10. We will see that God has made room for all nations to have the opportunity for new life through Jesus. How might we make room for others who are different than us?
- [Message: "Resist the Urge?" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/resist-the-urge) - A message from the series "Witness." As we go about our daily lives interacting with people, we often find ourselves keeping to familiar topics of conversation, avoiding any urges to go too deep or spiritual. But is this really an urge we should resist? This week, we will explore a message from the Apostle Paul and how he approached sharing the gospel. Paul knew that people were more likely to listen to him if he started with what was familiar to them. However, he did not resist the urge to lead the conversation to Jesus.
- [Message: "Author of Beauty" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/author-of-beauty) - A message from the series "Witness." As Paul speaks to a crowd in Athens, he follows a surprising strategy. Instead of criticizing their idolatry outright, he affirms the good parts of their religion and then seeks to show how the gospel of Jesus Christ provides a fuller picture. By understanding how he applies this strategy in Athens, we can use the same strategy in our culture. As a starting point, we'll consider how the love of work in Silicon Valley can be an opportunity for the gospel.
- [Message: "According to Plan" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/according-to-plan) - A message from the series "Witness." If your life hasn’t gone according to your plans, perhaps it has gone according to God’s plans. Such was the case for the apostle Paul, who tells his story in Acts 22:1-22.
- [Message: "The Way of the Heart" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-way-of-the-heart) - A message from the series "Witness." We who follow Jesus belong to “the Way”: the way of salvation and the way of the Lord. We walk in the Way, moving toward a destination, the New Jerusalem. How do we make our way in the Way?
- [Message: "The Purpose of the Church" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-purpose-of-the-church) - A message from the series "Witness." To finish our series in the sermons of Acts, we return to the beginning of the book and look at Jesus' commission to his disciples. His invitation to become witnesses is ours as well, as we follow the leading of the Spirit to the ends of the earth and to the end of time.
- [Message: "The Breaker is Broken" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-breaker-is-broken) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Continuing our series in the book of Revelation, we see the last of three judgment plagues: the bowls of wrath. In chapter 15 we meet seven angels. Chapter 16 describes them pouring out the bowls. As in previous judgments, we observe God's willingness to allow the evil of this world to consume itself. The agonizing process of evil being judged is painful, but it paves the way for the peace and freedom of God's eternal kingdom.
- [Message: "What Was Lost Is Returned" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/what-was-lost-is-returned) - A message from the series "Wake Up." After seeing God's re-creation of heaven and earth, we now look in more detail at the New Jerusalem. This symbolic city shows us what eternity with God will be like. We will be in God's presence. We will have eternal life. And when we fully understand these symbols, we will recognize them as what we lost long ago and what has been driving all of our efforts ever since.
- [Message: "The Things God Uses" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-things-god-uses) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." God is always up to something, and he’s always up to something more than we know. But if we can believe that he’s up to something more than we know, we can live with a sense of hopeful anticipation instead of a sense of impending doom.
- [Message: "What Kind of Family" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/what-kind-of-family) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." Joseph's brothers have returned to Egypt and he has been testing them to see whether anything has changed. In this story, we see the conclusion to this process of the testing. It's an incredible picture of transformation and reconciliation. In watching what kind of family the children of Jacob become, we are shown a picture of the kind of family the people of God are meant to be. Can we live up to their example?
- [Message: "Bones Of Promise" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/bones-of-promise) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." The most astounding claim in the entirety of the Scriptures emerges from the Joseph story: God uses evil for good. What does that mean for us?
- [Message: "Removing the Blinders" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/removing-the-blinders) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers." We all have spiritual blinders that keep us from recognizing our true need for Jesus. Identifying those blinders allows us to begin removing them in ourselves and helping others to do the same.
- [Message: "When Life Falls Apart" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/when-life-falls-apart) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." In this passage, we meet Job on the worst day of his life. However, after losing everything that he loves, Job still maintains his faith. How is this possible? How can we develop a durable faith that stands up to the challenges of life? Job helps us learn the way.
- [Message: "Worshiping in the Chaos" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/worshiping-in-the-chaos) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." At the end of the book of Job, we hear God's second speech, Job's final response, and the resolution to Job's circumstances. We get a bigger picture of the complexity of the cosmos. God makes it clear that chaos still exists within his creation. But he assures Job that he contends with the chaos. As Job sees that and encounters God, he worships. As we seek God in our own suffering, Job's path can be a guide to us for how to worship him in the chaos of our world.
- [Message: "Spontaneous Order" from Mike Dsane](https://pbc.org/messages/spontaneous-order) - A message from the series "Main Service." In God’s plan to reveal His rule and reign to an unbelieving world, every one of His people plays a part.
- [Message: "To Seek and Save the Lost" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/to-seek-and-save-the-lost) - A message from the series "Main Service." Luke 18:10 is a powerful gospel declaration: the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost. The sorrows of this lost world—loneliness, insecurity, despair and anger—are more evident every day. As Jesus’ disciples, recipients of amazing grace, we are called to follow him and give away what we have been given.
- [Message: "Signs of New Creation" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/signs-of-new-creation) - A message from the series "God With Us."

- [Message: "A Man Sent from God" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-man-sent-from-god) - A message from the series "God With Us." In this part of the introduction to John's gospel, we meet a new character. We know him as John the Baptist. His main identity is that he was sent. As we learn more about him, we'll discover that we have more in common with him than we might think.
- [Message: "Becoming Children of God" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/becoming-children-of-god) - A message from the series "God With Us." The biblical story is a story that starts with goodness, moves to tragedy, and ends with incredible joy. That whole story is summed up in five verses in the middle of the prologue to the gospel of John. The good news of these verses is indeed the Good News of the whole Bible: we have the opportunity to become children of God.
- [Message: "Full of Grace and Truth" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/full-of-grace-and-truth) - A message from the series "God With Us." At Christmastime, we remember God’s greatest gift to us: his Son. What’s inside? John unwraps the present in John 1:14-18.
- [Message: "Truly, Truly" from Brian Shiu](https://pbc.org/messages/truly-truly) - A message from the series "Main Service." Jesus miraculously feeds more than 5000 people; then he walks on water. His sermon following these events should have spawned a huge following; instead, everyone left. We must answer the question Jesus asks his disciples, "Do you want to go away as well?"
- [Message: "The Story of the Creator" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-story-of-the-creator) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." The story in Genesis 1 is often read with the wrong questions in mind. Instead of addressing how the world came to be, this story describes the one who caused the world to be. It is a story of “who”, not “how”. As we read this story about a God who is a Creator, we see over and over again that this world was created by a good God to be a blessing. Our response is simple: to turn to Him in worship.
- [Message: "The Image and the Blood" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-image-and-the-blood) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Are you striving to be, and to project as, a successful person and hoping that it will fulfill you? If so, how’s that working for you? And what might God have to say to those of us who feel compelled to be successful? Let’s return to the beginning, when God created humans.
- [Message: "The Gift of the Sabbath" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-gift-of-the-sabbath) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Not many people today practice the sabbath or even think about it. However, the sabbath is an integral part of the creation story, of the fabric of the universe, and of the God-given rhythms that lead to flourishing. Let’s re-examine the sabbath and open our lives to this great gift that God has given.
- [Message: "In the Beginning" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/2-in-the-beginning) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." In the beginning, the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep—like our lives at times. When life throws you back to what feels like a primordial state, then what?
- [Message: "Human Centered Design" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/human-centered-design) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." In Genesis 2, the creation story is told from a different perspective. Having created a world of abundance, God discovered that something was missing. A steward was needed—someone to care for this creation and ensure that its full potential for flourishing could be unleashed. In response to such a need, God designed the perfect solution: humanity. The first example of human centered design.
- [Message: "It Is Not Good to Be Alone" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/80-it-is-not-good-to-be-alone) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." We live in a world that is more socially connected, yet existentially lonely, than ever before. Though endemic in our culture, this loneliness was never God’s intention for us. Rather, he created us to be known and loved—in families, in communities, and in the church —so that we might be more effective at accomplishing his work in the world.
- [Message: "When Tragedy Strikes" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-locust-invasion) - A message from the series "The Book of Joel." The book of Joel describes a terrible locust invasion which causes devastation to the people of Israel. Everything is lost. But in their tragedy, we can find hints of our own suffering. And in Joel's suggestions for how to invite God into their pain, we can find an invitation to a deeper journey with God.
- [Message: "Return to the Lord" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/return-to-the-lord) - A message from the series "The Book of Joel." Who knows what kind of days we will encounter?

- [Message: "Wondrous" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/wondrous) - A message from the series "The Book of Joel." We read in Joel 2:18-27 that the Lord deals “wondrously” with his people. Some of us might want to say, “Really?” How can it be said that the Lord deals wondrously with us?
- [Message: "A Radically New Promise" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-radically-new-promise) - A message from the series "The Book of Joel." In the middle of a book of warning and lamentation comes one of the most powerful promises in the Bible. God promises his people an experience of presence and unity with him that will completely transform their lives and communities. As we explore this offer, we will see a new experience with God offered to everyone who desires it.
- [Message: "Images That Inspire" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/images-that-inspire) - A message from the series "The Book of Joel."

- [Message: "Judge Not: Becoming People of Grace" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/judge-not-becoming-people-of-grace) - A message from the series "Luke." Everyone’s got an opinion. Everyone’s got a verdict. We live in a world that turns comment sections into courtrooms and strangers into defendants. But what happens when the camera turns and it’s your life on the screen? This Sunday, we sit with the most misquoted words Jesus ever said: "Judge not.”
- [Message: "Exodus 34:6-7 Faithfulness" from Alma Cho](https://pbc.org/messages/exodus-34-6-7-faithfulness) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 2025-26 Exodus Series
- [Message: "Hosanna to the King" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/hosanna-to-the-king) - A message from the series "Main Service." Jesus evokes many different responses from different people. Some love him. Some hate him. Some are ambivalent towards him or just confused by him. As we look at Jesus’s entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, we will consider the various ways we respond to Jesus and the ultimate response that our King deserves—a response of praise.
- [Message: "Faith in an Age of Skepticism" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/faith-in-an-age-of-skepticism) - A message from the series "Main Service." As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, we'll follow the story of Thomas' response to the news. Over the course of a week, Thomas transforms from a skeptic who demands proof from God to a believer who is overcome in worship. What changes Thomas? How can we encounter Jesus in the same way? Is faith even possible in an age of skepticism?
- [Message: "Remember Me" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/remember-me) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Isaiah tells us that “they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,” that their spiritual strength is renewed not when the Lord acts but as they wait for the Lord to act (Isaiah 40:27-31). How do you respond to this?
- [Message: "When Eden Sank to Grief" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/when-eden-sank-to-grief) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." When the first humans chose against God, they opened the door for evil. Now we live—and die—in a world of sorrow, suffering, and loss. How do we live in such a world? To answer the question, let’s go back to the beginning, when Eden sank to grief.
- [Message: "Life in a Broken World" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/life-in-a-broken-world) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Many people recognize that the world is broken; few truly understand why. The biblical story, beginning in Genesis 3, shows us how deeply sin has fractured creation and what God is doing to redeem and restore it.
- [Message: "Driven From Paradise…For Now" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/driven-from-paradise-for-now) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." The creation story in Genesis ends in tragedy. The man and the woman have disobeyed God. He has read them the verdict of the consequences from sin. Now, he enacts their sentence: exile from the Garden of Eden. But even in this tragedy, there is hope. God shows his mercy by protection for the present and hope for the future. Because of that, we can learn to live well in the exile of our lives today.
- [Message: "To Create is Human" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/to-create-is-human) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." God created humans to be creative. Although Genesis 4:17-26 mostly exposes the dark side of human creativity, in the end it shows us how we can be creators who have been created in the image and likeness of God.
- [Message: "More Than The Now" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/more-than-the-now) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." The Bible has several examples of genealogies: lists of family generations. The one in Genesis 5 is meant to help us notice how the blessing of God will eventually overcome the curse of sin. We see the overall faithfulness of God over time, but we also see a few notable examples of out-of-the-ordinary blessing. How can those stories encourage us and inform our life today?
- [Message: "The End of Evil" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-end-of-evil) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." From the first act of rebellion against God in Genesis 3, sin spreads quickly throughout creation. In Genesis 6, evil reaches a head, and God steps in. Through a surprising act of salvation, we learn that the judgment and mercy of God are both necessary for God to stop evil in it's tracks—in the past, the present, and the future.
- [Message: "Big Box" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/big-box) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." We’re all control freaks, aren’t we? However, because there’s so little that we can control and so much that is out of our control, we live anxiously. Would it help us if we got into an ark?
- [Message: "The Sign of Peace" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-sign-of-peace) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Our lives are governed by agreements we make with each other. After God saves Noah and his family from the devastation of the flood, God makes such an arrangement with Noah. As we observe the dynamic and interactive relationship Noah has with the living God, we will be invited to deepen our own faith in response. Will you accept and live by the arrangement God has made with you?
- [Message: "Lessons from Babel" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/lessons-from-babel) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning."

This story serves as both a warning and a promise and helps us live well in relation to ourselves, God, the diverse people of God, and all the nations.
- [Message: "How To Be A Blessing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/how-to-be-a-blessing) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning." Throughout the early chapters of the book of Genesis, we have seen God's intentions to bless the world. From Creation to Noah to Babel, God has been working to overcome the obstacle of evil and allow his blessing to flow to the world. As we wrap up the series, we look ahead to the introduction of Abram to discover the next stage of God's plan to bless the world. We will find out that this plan involves us!
- [Message: "Does Jesus Care When My Heart Is Pained Too Deeply" from Kaloma Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/psalm-77) - A message from the series "Main Service."
- [Message: "Hidden Potential" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/hidden-potential) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." Sometimes, the most unassuming things have the most potential for pervasiveness and impact. Together we'll explore one of Jesus' shortest parables in Matthew 13 and discover that small hidden things can grow, permeate, and even overwhelm their surroundings.
- [Message: "Windows and Mirrors" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-extravagant-love) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." Have you ever lost something of value, and when you found it, celebrated with others? This week, we will look at Luke 15: 11-32 into the window of a father and his two lost sons. How the father responds to his sons will show us a picture of God's heart, and how the sons respond to the father will be a mirror to our hearts.
- [Message: "The Generosity of God" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/title) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." You may have heard that God's love is given to everyone equally. You may know that no one actually deserves God's love, but he pours out salvation as a free gift of mercy. But many of us don't realize how controversial or unsettling God's generosity really is. Without knowing it, many of us begrudge the generosity of God. To help diagnose our hearts, Jesus tells a story that makes it clear how we feel about the scandal of grace.
- [Message: "Smaller Barns, Deeper Joy" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/how-to-not-be-a-rich-fool) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." What does Jesus think about the way we use our money? In the parable of the rich fool, Jesus uses strong words to warn us against the dangers of hoarding money for ourselves rather than orienting our lives towards God and his kingdom.
- [Message: "Seeds of Hope" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/27-seeds-of-hope) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." On the surface, if you look out on our world, there is more than enough to depress you all day, every day. But we all know that appearances can be deceiving. Jesus told a story to help us understand what’s really going on in our world, appearances notwithstanding. We call it the Parable of the Sower.
- [Message: "Storm-Proof Faith: The Security of Solid Foundations" from Gary Gaddini](https://pbc.org/messages/storm-proof-faith-the-security-of-solid-foundations) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus."
- [Message: "The Dangers of Doing Good" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/he-dangers-of-doing-good) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." What motivates us to do good things? Though our motivations are usually mixed, those good things can sometimes distract us from our need for mercy and the Lord. Through this parable, we will explore how our need for mercy is a gift and how it changes the posture we take in life.
- [Message: "Putting Love into Practice" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/putting-love-into-practice) - A message from the series "The Parables of Jesus." The parable of the Good Samaritan is among the most well-known stories in the Bible, yet it is also one of the most challenging to practice. How do we truly love people as we love ourselves, despite how unlovable they may seem to us? We start by loving God and being loved by him.
- [Message: "Centered on the Cross" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/centered-on-the-cross) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In the introduction to the book of 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul addresses a young church who have struggled to find their way. They have become conformed to the culture around them and formed divisions based on leadership personalities. The apostle celebrates God's work among them and points them back to what forms the center of their community: the cross of Christ.
- [Message: "The Wisdom and Power of God" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/thewisdom-and-power-of-god) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Do you want to be wise? Do you seek after power? We all do to some degree, but we often misunderstand what true wisdom and power are. In this passage, “earthly” wisdom and power are turned on their head as true wisdom and power are defined in a person: Jesus Christ, the wisdom and power of God.
- [Message: "What Is God Really Up To?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/what-is-god-really-up-to) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In 1 Corinthians 2, the apostle Paul not only discloses to us what God is really up to, he also tells us how we got the Scriptures and how we can understand the Scriptures.
- [Message: "Spiritual 'Adulting'" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/spiritual-adulting) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Growing spiritually can be challenging. Many of us have felt frustrations around faith, prayer, community life, and how to be open to the Lord’s growth in our lives. The church of Corinth can relate. Today, we will dive into several aspects of spiritual growth that Paul shared with the Corinthians and can be helpful for us today.
- [Message: "Servants and Stewards" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/servants-and-stewards) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." The apostles were entrusted with the mysteries of God. Has something been entrusted to us? If so, what is it? And how can we go about finding what it is?
- [Message: "Sexual Brokenness in the Church" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/sexual-brokenness-in-the-church) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." After spending several chapters on the issues of divisions within the church, in 1 Corinthians 5, the apostle Paul moves on to the topic of sexual brokenness within the church. His correction of the young church in Corinth can help us to think about how we deal with sexual ethics within our community. Do we actively encourage each other toward sexual health? Do we judge outsiders instead of focusing on ourselves? Do we have blind spots that have gone unnoticed?
- [Message: "Living Out the Gospel in Community" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/living-out-the-gospel-in-community) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Living life in community is beautiful, but it can also be challenging. What do we do when we are wronged by one of our brothers and sisters in Christ? The answer must begin with rooting ourselves in the finished work of Christ so that we can live out the gospel in community.
- [Message: "Glorify God in Your Body" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/29-glorify-god-in-your-body) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In both testaments, a male-female relationship in marriage mirrors God’s relationship with his people. God is the husband; we are the wife. Christ is the bridegroom; we are the bride. Practically, what does this mean for us as members of God’s wife, as members of the bride of Christ, both married and single? It has a great deal to do with what we do with our bodies.
- [Message: "The Story of Marriage" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-story-of-marriage) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." The young church in Corinth had written Paul a letter asking specific questions regarding sexuality in the context of marriage. In response to their questions, the apostle Paul addresses four different categories of people: those who are married, widowed, struggling in their marriage, and married to an unbeliever. He gives specific advice in each case, but underlying it all is a rich theology of mutuality in marriage and the importance of encountering Christ in all circumstances.
- [Message: "Following God in Your Actual Life" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/following-god-in-your-actual-life) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." It often feels like it would be easy to follow God if only _______ would change. We fill in that blank with all kinds of things: our marital status, our financial status, our job situation, our health, etc. What if we don’t need anything to change in order to follow God? What if we can follow him from right where we are?
- [Message: "The Virtues of Singleness" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-virtues-of-singleness) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." It is clear from 1 Corinthians 7, not to mention the lives of both Jesus and Paul, that marriage is not the biblically exalted state. In 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Paul offers some helpful advice to those of us who are single.
- [Message: "The Look of Love" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/the-look-of-love) - A message from the series "Main Service." Jesus calls it the greatest commandment, but we frequently have difficulty grasping it, much less living by it. What is God looking for? What are we afraid of? We shall see.
- [Message: "The Steadfast Love of God" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-steadfast-love-of-god) - A message from the series "Main Service." In the end, it's all a love story. It's the story of Christmas. It's the story of God in the world. It's the story of Psalm 118. In our last messianic psalm for the season of Advent, we see the love of God breaking into the world in a great reversal. The unlikely has become essential. God has acted to save. By the time we work through the psalm we realize that God doesn't just love the world. God loves us.
- [Message: "Mystery Psalm" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/mystery-psalm) - A message from the series "Main Service." Your life is like Psalm 110. Your life is a mystery, unfolding chapter by chapter. Psalm 110 can inspire you to enjoy the mystery that is your life.
- [Message: "Waiting for Joy" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/waiting-for-joy) - A message from the series "Main Service." In some seasons of life, joy is easy to find. In other seasons, joy seems altogether absent. What do we do when we can’t find joy? We wait with hope in our King, who has come and will come again.
- [Message: "The Coming of the Perfect Human" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-coming-of-the-perfect-human) - A message from the series "Main Service." As begin an Advent sermon series looking at the messianic psalms, the contrasts within Psalm 8 teach us something important about Jesus. In painting a picture of the tension of humanity, we see hints of the coming Savior. In a world where everyone is asking what it means to be human, Psalm 8 and the advent of Jesus on Christmas day provide a clear and powerful answer.
- [Message: "Love Builds Up" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/love-builds-up) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In 1 Corinthians 8, the apostle Paul warns us about knowledge but also informs us that knowledge has its place, especially knowledge about God. In fact, he imparts to us critical knowledge about God that we need to live for him and for others.
- [Message: "Running with Passion" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/running-with-passion) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." We often hear that Christians should be selfless, giving up their rights for the sake of others. But what if that's only half the story? In 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul passionately defends his rights, revealing a powerful truth about sacrifice and the radical life of faith. His example can lead us to rethink our understanding of freedom, responsibility, and the joy found in wholeheartedly following Jesus.
- [Message: "Don't Dabble with Idolatry" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/dont-dabble-with-idolatry) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Sometimes we find ourselves walking the line between following God and chasing after the idols of our culture. God, however, is not looking for halfhearted disciples. Rather, he calls us to flee from idolatry and run to Christ.
- [Message: "The Right Questions" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-right-questions) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." What is it okay for Christians to do? Are there limits to freedom in Christ? These questions frequently arise as we figure out how to follow Jesus within our culture. The first century Corinthians asked the apostle Paul a similar question. In his response, he reorients their focus. Instead of giving them an answer, he points them to better questions.
- [Message: "Whither Head Coverings?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/whither-head-coverings) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Many years ago, women would regularly wear hats to the worship services at Peninsula Bible Church. Today, not many women deem it necessary to do so. What happened?
- [Message: "The Meal That Unites" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-meal-that-unites) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Jesus gave us to celebrate is meant to be one that unites us. What happens when it doesn't? How do we get back to the celebration of unity?
- [Message: "Grace-Gifts for the Common Good" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/grace-gifts-for-the-common-good) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." From 1st century Corinth to 21st century Silicon Valley, some Christians put themselves on a pedestal because of the “spiritual gifts” that God has given them. This sense of spiritual superiority is a serious misunderstanding of the nature of the spiritual life and the purpose of “spiritual gifts.” God does not give us gifts to inflate our ego but to empower us to serve the common good.
- [Message: "One Body, Many Parts" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/one-body-many-parts) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Politics, ethnicity, theology, economics — many things threaten the unity of the church today. Now more than ever, the people of God must remember that we are ONE body. Yet, as one body, we are also made up of many unique parts.
- [Message: "Focusing on What Matters Most" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/focusing-on-what-matters-most) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." How is the most commonly cited scripture in wedding ceremonies connected to spiritual gifts and worship gatherings? This week in 1 Corinthians 13, we’ll join Apostle Paul as he urges the Church in Corinth to prioritize what truly counts. It’s not about your talents; it’s all about embodying love. So, how does this manifest within our church and beyond?
- [Message: "Balancing Mind and Spirit" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/balancing-mind-and-spirit) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." The church in Corinth had a preference for a certain style of worship: they wanted "manifestations of the Spirit." The apostle Paul gave them instructions on the proper place for such activity. In his words, we can find guidance for our own worship and learn how to balance expressions of mind and spirit.
- [Message: "To Build up the Church" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/to-build-up-the-church) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In 1 Corinthians 14:26-40, we see that each person has a contribution to make to the church. We also see the most expansive description of a worship service in the New Testament.
- [Message: "Pillars of Faith" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/pillars-of-faith) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In 1 Corinthians, Paul explores the important theme of unity, love, and order within community. In this section, he clearly lays out one of the non-negotiable pillars of the faith - the resurrection. As we near the end of this book, let us see why the resurrection is so important to our faith, and how that ties in to the rest of our theology.
- [Message: "Future Resurrection, Present Hope" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/future-resurrection-present-hope) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." There is a lot of uncertainty in the world today. In the midst of the uncertainty, one thing is certain: because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, death does not get the final word. When Jesus comes back, we will also be raised from the dead, and death itself will be defeated. Because of our certain future, we can have hope in the present.
- [Message: "Eternity's Sunrise" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/eternitys-sunrise) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” The apostle Paul answers these questions in 1 Corinthians 15:35-49.
- [Message: "Here and Now" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/here-and-now) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." Nothing can be more disheartening than putting a lot of effort into something challenging, only to realize it wasn’t worth it. Have you ever found yourself questioning whether the work you’re doing or the service you provide truly makes a difference? It’s a common thought: Does what I do in this life really matter? Let’s explore what the apostle Paul has to say about a life worth living.
- [Message: "It Ends With Love" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/it-ends-with-love) - A message from the series "Under the Cross." In the last chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul leaves us with a number of final thoughts and instructions. He touches on giving, planning for the future, being courageous, honoring one another, and more. In his last words, however, he reinforces the main point of the letter reminding us that on account of the grace of Jesus, we should focus on what is most important: loving God and others.
- [Message: "Love Your Enemies" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/10-love-your-enemies) - A message from the series "Luke." Most people probably don’t love their enemies. Most people probably don’t even try to love their enemies. In fact, many people love to have enemies: They love to have enemies to hate. Then again, Jesus commands us to love our enemies. Yes, but how?
- [Message: "Exodus 34:6-7 Steadfast Love" from Isabella Cho](https://pbc.org/messages/exodus-34-6-7-steadfast-love) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 2025-26 Exodus Series
- [Message: "When Community Disappoints" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/when-community-disappoints) - A message from the series "Light In The Darkness." At the beginning of our new series, we are looking at how we encounter God when our communities disappoint us. We will sit with Jesus in his last meal before His death and see what truths He has to share, and how he models living through pain. By turning to Jesus in our disappointments, we can find hope, truth, and love.
- [Message: "When You Disappoint Yourself" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/when-you-disappoint-yourself) - A message from the series "Light In The Darkness." Do you ever fail to live up to your own expectations for yourself? Do you ever worry that God is disappointed with you? In the week leading up to his crucifixion, Jesus’ disciples have plenty of reasons to feel these things. However, their encounters with the risen Lord teach us the eyes of Jesus are full of love, grace, and compassion, even when we are at our worst.
- [Message: "Breakfast on the Beach" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/83-breakfast-on-the-beach) - A message from the series "Breakfast on the Beach." If God is the author of our stories, could it be that he is writing them in such a way, chapter by chapter, that we encounter Jesus?
- [Message: "Seeing God’s Heart in a Heartless World" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/seeing-god-s-heart-in-a-heartless-world) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." As we study the book of Esther, we have the opportunity to see God’s care and faithfulness even in the midst of a cruel world. We will meet characters who can help us see God in our own story, and help us understand God’s devotion even when it can be hard to see.
- [Message: "Faith in Exile" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/faith-in-exile) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." Living in a land that was not their own and under the rule of those hostile to God and his people, the Jews of Esther’s day were living as exiles in a foreign land. As followers of Jesus awaiting his return, so are we. How do we live well while in exile? What does exile mean for our faith — and for the faithfulness of God?
- [Message: "Responding to Injustice" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/responding-to-injustice) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." In a complex world marked by sin and its harmful consequences, it can be hard to know how to think, act, and feel. As Mordecai and Esther respond to Haman’s destructive decree, we see some principles that can shape our response to evil, injustice, and suffering in our lives and in the world today.
- [Message: "Listening for Truth" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/listening-for-truth) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." In a world filled with noise, it can be hard to sort out who to listen to. How do we figure out the role of community, scripture, our heart, and our prayer life in the art of listening well? Today we’ll explore who the different main characters in the book of Esther listened to and how that played out. We’ll discover that if we listen for truth rather than comfort, we’ll find God’s voice speaking in creative ways.
- [Message: "Turning Point" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/41-turning-point) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." Do you ever feel like things are spiraling out of control? It sure seemed that way for Esther and her people… until God showed up and turned everything around. In Esther 6, we have a powerful reminder that God has the power to turn our stories around, too.
- [Message: "How to Live a Spiritual Life" from David Kim](https://pbc.org/messages/how-to-live-a-spiritual-life) - A message from the series "How to Live a Spiritual Life." In Romans 8:5-11, Paul reveals that the spiritual life we long for flows from allowing the Holy Spirit to govern our thoughts and perspectives. But while this sounds beautiful in theory, how do we practically cultivate this kind of spiritual mindset when we're bombarded with notifications, deadlines, and endless distractions? Drawing from Scripture and the wisdom of faithful saints throughout history, we'll explore practical principles that can guide us toward genuine spiritual maturity.
- [Message: "Deliverance" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/2-deliverance) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians."
- [Message: "The Unlikely Apostle" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-unlikely-apostle) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." God is unpredictable, is he not? “The heart of man plans his way, / but the Lord establishes his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). What do we do with that?
- [Message: "The Power of the Meal" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-power-of-the-meal) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." Meals occupy a prominent place in Galatians 2. Why are meals so important? Paul—not to mention other biblical authors—has much to say about it.
- [Message: "Love and Power" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/love-and-power) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." It’s easy to say you want to live for God. But as we all know, it’s one thing to say it and another thing to live it. If we are going to live for God, we need some help. The apostle Paul gives us some in Galatians 2:15-21.
- [Message: "Dance With The One That Brought You" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/dance-with-the-one-that-brought-you) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." There are good reasons for doubt. However, there are even better reasons for faith. In Galatians 3:1-14, the apostle Paul highlights two reasons for continuing in faith, with allegiance to Christ.
- [Message: "Home and Family" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/home-and-family) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." In Galatians 3:15-29, Paul turns his attention to two promises that God made to Abraham, one concerning land and the other concerning family. Those promises have ramifications for us today: home, a place to live, and family, people to live with.
- [Message: "When the Tables are Turned" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/when-the-tables-are-turned) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." In Esther 7, the story reaches its climax: Esther speaks, Haman panics, and their fates are reversed. But behind the narrative lies a deeper question—who truly decides who lives and who dies? To answer this, we must consider the hidden ways of God’s kingdom and the unexpected power of the cross.
- [Message: "Finding Hope in the Battle Ahead" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/finding-hope-in-the-battle-ahead) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." We each face battles in life that we must walk through. Though we are not always assured victory in the present battles, we have present hope and eternal victory in Christ. How do we find hope in the Lord as the battle approaches? Esther and the Jewish people find hope as they prepare to face their enemies.
- [Message: "The Cost of Victory" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-cost-of-victory) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." In Esther 9, the story seems to resolve with God’s people victorious over their enemies—but it also raises new questions. What do we do with a salvation that comes through violence? Why does the Old Testament contain so much of it? And how should we understand all of this in light of Jesus’ teaching, and even more, his death and resurrection? As we walk through Esther 9, we’ll also wrestle with these questions and consider what they mean for following Jesus today.
- [Message: "Forget Me Not" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/forget-me-not) - A message from the series "Esther: Trusting the Unseen God." After the battle is won for the Jewish people, the festivities begin. The Jewish people want to remember this miraculous celebration so fervently that they create the festival of Purim to honor the Lord and remember His salvation. Let’s look more at how we can also remember God’s salvation for us.
- [Message: "People of Love for Our Neighbors and Nations" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/people-of-love-for-our-neighbors-and-nations) - A message from the series "Neighbors to Nations." What were you made for—and how can you know if you’re truly living that purpose? On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gave His disciples a profound answer. At its heart, it’s simple: we are created to be a people of love for our neighbors and the nations. Are you becoming a person of love?
- [Message: "Freedom from Control" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/freedom-from-control) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." Not a few of us want to get the right formula and do it right and feel very wonderful. One of the problems with such an approach is that getting the right formula and doing it right never excludes the possibility of disaster. Deep down, we know this; therefore, rarely do we feel very wonderful.
- [Message: "Freedom from Expectations" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/freedom-from-expectations) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." Think about the expectations, both cultural and personal, that you have tried to meet. Think about the expectations you’re trying to meet now. What do you think it would be like to be free of such expectations?
- [Message: "Free to Love" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/free-to-love) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." If Christ has set us free, it helps to know what he has set us free for. In the United States, we prize freedom. Here, more than most other places in the world, you are free to do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. Is that what Christ has set us free for?
- [Message: "In Love's Service" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/in-loves-service) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." If we have given our allegiance to Christ, we’re free—free to love God and others, that is. However, freedom to love doesn’t necessarily mean that we will love. Thankfully, we find what we need in Galatians 5:13-18.
- [Message: "Fruit Happens" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/fruit-happens) - A message from the series "One Family: Galatians." Paul writes, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). When we walk by the Spirit, we walk with God, in relationship with him, and the Spirit motivates, empowers, and directs us. Then what happens? If we don’t walk by the Spirit, what happens?
- [Message: "Exodus 34:6-7 Slow to Anger" from Alice Sage](https://pbc.org/messages/exodus-34-6-7-slow-to-anger) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 2025-2026 Exodus Series

- [Message: "Easter Sunday: The Darkness Has Not Overcome" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/easter-sunday-the-darkness-has-not-overcome) - A message from the series "Main Service." With so much happening around us and within us, it can feel like the darkness is winning. But Easter tells a better story: though the darkness still exists, it has not overcome. Jesus has defeated it—and through faith, we share in his victory.
- [Message: "Yours Is The Kingdom of God" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/yours-is-the-kingdom-of-god) - A message from the series "Luke." In a world that celebrates strength and self-sufficiency, Jesus reveals a kingdom that draws near to those who know they need Him—especially those who lack the resources to care for themselves. Jesus invites us into a different way of seeing ourselves and others, as he comforts the lowly and challenges the comfortable.
- [Message: "Welcome to the Team" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/welcome-to-the-team) - A message from the series "Luke." Talent. Chemistry. Discipline. These are the ingredients of a strong team. But when Jesus set out to change the world, He chose a group that didn’t fit any of those expectations. What does His surprising choice of twelve ordinary, flawed people reveal about how He wants to work in and through us today?
- [Message: "The Sacred Quest" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-sacred-quest) - A message from the series "Main Service." What are you seeking? In Psalm 24, David encourages us to seek the Lord, even if we already feel that we've found him. How do we go about doing so? The poetry of the psalm recommends two approaches.
- [Message: "If Love is the Answer, What is the Question?" from Nijay Gupta](https://pbc.org/messages/if-love-is-the-answer-what-is-the-question) - A message from the series "Main Service." We know that love is the answer, but what is the question? How can love solve our problems in these troubled times? Dr. Nijay Gupta unpacks Paul’s most urgent of messages to the church.

- [Message: "“Stretch out your Hand”" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/stretch-out-your-hand) - A message from the series "Luke." A debate in the fields. A showdown in the synagogue. A Bold claim from Jesus. What does this have to do with being restored?
- [Message: "The Kingdom of God is a Party" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-kingdom-of-god-is-a-party) - A message from the series "Luke." In Luke 5:27-39, Jesus attends a party and then evokes images of a party. Indeed, the kingdom of God is like a party. Who’s invited? And if you manage to secure an invitation, what do you do when you get there?

- [Message: "The Invitation to Discipleship" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-invitation-to-discipleship) - A message from the series "Luke."

- [Message: "When No One is Watching" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/when-no-one-is-watching) - A message from the series "Luke." In the wilderness, temptation whispers shortcuts and control.

- [Message: "Scraping Off the Grime" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/97-scraping-off-the-grime) - A message from the series "Luke." There are many versions of Jesus out there today.

- [Message: "Exodus 19 & 20" from Janet Bleecker](https://pbc.org/messages/exodus-19-20) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 2025-26

- [Message: "Lessons from a 12-Year-Old" from Cormac Parker Jr.](https://pbc.org/messages/lessons-from-a-12-year-old) - A message from the series "Luke." “Jesus goes missing!” These words might catch you off guard—yet that’s exactly how this week’s message begins. As Mary and Joseph tirelessly search for their child, they uncover something even more profound: Jesus’ divine purpose and a calling that transforms the way we live on mission.
- [Message: "A King is Born" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/a-king-is-born) - A message from the series "Love Came Down." The birth of Jesus doesn’t look like the arrival of a king—no palace, no power, no prestige—yet this child brings the peace and joy the world that the world longs for. This good news isn’t just meant to be heard; it calls for a response—so the question remains: how will you respond to the King who has come?
- [Message: "Love Came Down" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/love-came-down) - A message from the series "Love Came Down." Do you ever find yourself looking for love and coming up short? We often look for love in our search for meaning and happiness, but this quest often leaves us disappointed. Christmas tells a different story—that love didn’t fail us. Rather, love came down in Jesus to save us and transform us.

Are you ready to let Jesus lead you into the freedom and worship you were made for?
- [Message: "Grace for the Humble" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/grace-for-the-humble) - A message from the series "Love Came Down." The story of Mary reveals that God meets the world through humility—from choosing a lowly servant to bringing salvation through a vulnerable baby. God’s grace comes not to the proud or powerful, but to those who place their faith in the God of the impossible. Will you follow him in humility?
- [Message: "Hope in the Waiting" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/advent-hope) - A message from the series "Love Came Down." In Luke 1:1–25 we meet a couple waiting in the long silence of God, learning that hope is found not in what they see but in the God who hears their prayers.

In Galatians 5, the apostle Paul instructs us to walk by the Spirit, in relationship with God, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, thereby serving one another in the family of God.

- [Message: "Made One in Christ" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/made-one-in-christ) - A message from the series "Made One in Christ." We are a divided people.

On this tour through Scripture, we'll see the thread of oneness from Genesis to Revelation, culminating in Christ and lasting into eternity. This is God's plan: to make a people one in Christ.

- [Message: "When God Disappoints You" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/when-god-disappoints-you) - A message from the series "Light In The Darkness." We all face disappointment with God at some point in our lives. At times it can be devastating. Sometimes it causes us to walk away from our faith. Other times we protect ourselves against hope and withdraw emotionally from God. How can we view disappointment as a gift to grow our faith and increase our intimacy with God? Using Judas as an example, we will explore a few events during Holy Week to unpack how disappointment can become a gift leading to renewal and deeper understanding.

In the face of uncertainty and disappointment, some are tempted toward despair, while others find comfort in naive optimism. The Christmas story offers us a better way: the way of hope. Because our King took on flesh and dwelt among us, we can embrace hope this Christmas and always.

Within three short parables, Jesus communicates a deep message about the value of his kingdom and what it takes to be a part of it. These stories challenge us to take stock of our lives and notice what we really value . They also caution us against judging too quickly and inspire us to invite others into the kingdom of God. In the end, our response to the kingdom is simple: seek, receive, and invite.
- [Message: "From the Inside Out" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/from-the-inside-out) - A message from the series "Genesis: In the Beginning."

- [Message: "God With Us" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/god-with-us) - A message from the series "Main Service." On Christmas Eve, we celebrate the mind-boggling fact that through the birth of Jesus Christ, God became human. God is with us. But why is this fact worth celebrating? God’s presence is a comfort to us because He is capable of protecting us. God’s presence is a challenge to us because He invites us to lay down our independence. Finally, God’s presence is a call to follow Jesus into the life of purpose and meaning that we were created to live through the Spirit. This Christmas Eve, be comforted, be challenged and be called forward.
- [Message: "How Can I Know God?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/how-can-i-know-god) - A message from the series "Explore God." Today marks the conclusion of our “Explore God” series. We have addressed difficult questions of faith not simply to explore God but also to know God. So, we come to our final question: How can I know God?
- [Message: "How Do I Follow Jesus?" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/how-do-i-follow-jesus) - A message from the series "Main Service." When Jesus was here on earth, he had disciples who followed after him and learned from him. We are also invited to follow Jesus as his disciples. But how do we do that? We can learn a lot about this by looking at Jesus’ relationship with his own disciples and the message that he gave to them as he left.
- [Message: "Is Jesus Really God?" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/is-jesus-really-god) - A message from the series "Explore God." Most people today are quick to accept Jesus as a good man and a great moral teacher. Jesus, however, claimed to be much more. He claimed to be God. What do we make these claims? What difference does it make on our lives if they are true? The answer to these questions become clear as we look at one important event: Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, an event that changes everything.

- [Message: "Why Are Christians Hypocrites?" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/why-are-christians-hypocrites) - A message from the series "Explore God." One of the biggest reasons people have a hard time believing in the truth of Christianity is that so many followers of Jesus are hypocrites. How do we understand that? What does God think of that? How do we move past it if we want to believe in Jesus but have a hard time with it?

- [Message: "Is Christianity Too Narrow?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/is-christianity-too-narrow) - A message from the series "Explore God." Is Christianity, called “the Way” in the Scriptures, too narrow? The question must be answered against the backdrop of the depth and breadth of human sin. No question: the Way is narrow (Jesus says so). But too narrow? No question: the Way is also wide (Jesus says so).
- [Message: "Why Does God Allow Pain and Suffering?" from Rachel Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/why-does-god-allow-pain-and-suffering) - A message from the series "Explore God." When we are faced with realities about the world that we do not like, we must decide what we think about the character of the one who created it. Is God good? How can we know? When we turn towards him in the midst of our pain, we start to understand his character better and are able to see his goodness despite the pain in the world, and we discover that we don't have to suffer alone.

- [Message: "Are Faith and Science Compatible?" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/are-faith-and-science-compatible) - A message from the series "Explore God." Many people think that there is a conflict between faith and science. They suggest that believing in one makes believing in the other impossible. However, when we really understand the nature of both faith and science, we can see how they work together to lead us toward truth in different ways. With that in mind, we can boldly explore our world through science and discover a relationship with God through faith. Together, science and faith can lead us to spectacular truth.
- [Message: "Is the Bible True?" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/is-the-bible-true) - A message from the series "Explore God." The Bible forms the basis for all of Christianity. If we are going to follow Jesus, we must have confidence in the words of this book. But how can we know that it is true? We will spend time thinking about the power of words, the message that the Bible communicates, and the unanswered questions. All of these will show us how the Bible is deeply true, surprisingly relevant, and has the one answer that each of us most longs to hear.

- [Message: "Is There a God?" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/is-there-a-god) - A message from the series "Explore God." The question of whether God exists has been asked by people throughout history. While some will always doubt his existence, God longs to be known by us. He has left evidence of his existence throughout creation, and that evidence is available to all of us if we know where to look.
- [Message: "Does Life Have a Purpose?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/does-life-have-a-purpose) - A message from the series "Explore God."

The Scriptures indeed affirm what we feel in our hearts: we’re here for a purpose. What is it?

In a world that is moving faster than ever, patience is becoming a lost art. And yet, the work of evangelism is something that requires great patience. As we look at Paul’s final speech in the book of Acts, we are reminded that mission requires patience and persistence, and we need to be in it for the long haul.

- [Message: "God Moves In" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/god-moves-in) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." In the last scene of the book of Exodus, we see God move into the home that his people have built for him. All the uncertainty regarding God's faithfulness to his people and their faithfulness to him has been resolved. The people of God are free. God lives among them. He will lead them into the Promised Land.
- [Message: "A Holy Project" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-holy-project) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." As we near the end of the book of Exodus, we see the actual construction of the Tabernacle. By watching the newly formed people God work on such a significant project, we can learn a lot about how our efforts go toward bringing the presence of God into sharper focus on earth.
- [Message: "Beholding the Glory" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/beholding-the-glory) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." Beholding Jesus—even beholding the face of Jesus—is a key component of becoming more like Jesus. How then can we behold his face? Join us for Pastor Scott’s message “Beholding the Glory” from Exodus 34:29-35.
- [Message: "The Lord, the Lord, Merciful and Gracious" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-lord-the-lord-merciful-and-gracious) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." How would you describe God in one sentence? What do you think are the most important things about God? When God reveals himself to us, he make it clear: He is a God overflowing with mercy and grace, looking for every opportunity to show his love. If we can grasp the depth of this truth, it will change our lives forever.
- [Message: "Our Failures and God’s Promises " from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/our-failures-and-god-s-promises) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?” And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” Sermon Summary:Do you ever wonder if your failures will keep you from receiving God’s love and blessing? After Israel breaks God’s covenant by worshiping the golden calf (Exodus 32), we are left wondering if they have gone too far to be forgiven. In Exodus 33, we see that Israel’s failures—and ours—do not negate the promises of God.

- [Message: "Looking for God" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/looking-for-god) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." Where does God dwell? Looking back and looking ahead, we can see that God has dwelt, is dwelling, and will dwell in at least six different places. A tour of the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, will help us look for God.
- [Message: "A Major Mistake" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-major-mistake) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." In the story Exodus God creates his people. He frees them, gives them a law, and teaches them to worship. But very early on, they make a major mistake which threatens to ruin everything God has been working toward. In turning away from God and all the plans he has for them, the ominous question emerges of whether their mistake can be repaired. Is there a way forward? Can God forgive?

After Moses went up to Sinai again, God gave him instructions for the building of a holy building. This would be a place where God Himself could dwell among his people and they could worship him. As we read the instructions and consider the construction details, we will learn how to come close to God in worship.

In Exodus 24, we find specific instructions on how Moses and the people can come before God. The story is full of reverence and fear. In the midst of this story, we will hear the invitation of Jesus: Draw near to God through me.

- [Message: "A Desperate Prayer" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-desperate-prayer) - A message from the series "Suffering Servant, Conquering King." In this scene, we see Jesus making two requests: one of his disciples and another of His Father. Each ask is vulnerable and raw. Both of them are denied. As we marvel at Jesus' capability to trust God and move forward, we will be challenged and encouraged to follow the pattern that he lays out for us. We too can be honest with God. We too can submit to His will.
- [Message: "He Spoke My Name" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/he-spoke-my-name) - A message from the series "He Spoke My Name." Do you feel unknown? Do you feel that no one really understands you? Feeling unknown and misunderstood is part of what C.S. Lewis calls “our inconsolable secret.” The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that someone knows us and understands us better than we know and understand ourselves.

The tide of our culture threatens to slowly pull us away from God. In the face of this tide, God calls us to be faithful ' faithful to him and faithful to each other. Are you ready to grow in faithfulness?
- [Message: "Gentleness" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/gentleness) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." Our culture is anything but gentle. Disagreements quickly become divisions. Conversations turn into conflicts. Questions feel like interrogations. Misunderstandings give birth to outrage. But our God describes himself as gentle and lowly". How do we grow that kind of gentleness in our lives? What makes it difficult? How does God make it possible?"""
- [Message: "Self-Control" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/self-control) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." We live in an age of instant gratification where we are encouraged to do whatever feels good to us. Against this idea, the Spirit wants to grow us into people of self- control as we restrain our unhealthy desires, retrain them in healthy ways, and redirect our love to God.
- [Message: "God's Purpose Prevails" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-purpose-prevails) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." The book of Exodus tells the story of how God freed his people from slavery and gave them a new life filled with direction and purpose. In the first chapter, we hear of three separate challenges that face the people of Israel. Each of them raises questions about their ability to fulfill the purpose for which they were created. And in each case, God's purposes prevail.
- [Message: "Seeds of Hope" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/97-seeds-of-hope) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." Sometimes it's hard to hang onto hope. This is how the Israelites must have felt after Pharaoh ordered the death of all of their newborn sons. Yet, in the midst of their fear, God began to break through and plant some seeds of hope. That same God offers himself as a source of hope for us today.

- [Message: "God Is" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/god-is) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." After meeting Moses in chapter 2, we see God find him in Midian and call him to a monumental task. Understandably so, this causes Moses to ask deep questions about who he is and who God is. In the answers, we find powerful help for our own struggles with identity, faith, and calling. We'll see that we might be asking the wrong questions and that the answers are simpler than we think.
- [Message: "Overcoming the Resistance" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/overcoming-the-resistance) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." In Exodus 3, Moses is given a clear yet difficult call from God. In Exodus 4, Moses tries to resist this call. Do you ever find yourself resisting God's call? What are the factors that tend to keep us from following God in faith? As we explore these questions, we will see how our faith requires God's grace.

- [Message: "Part of Something Bigger" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/part-of-something-bigger) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." We've already seen several of Moses's objections to God's plan for delivering the Israelites from slavery. In this chapter, as Moses takes steps in obedience, he stumbles and brings one more complaint to God. In response, God speaks to Moses about the covenant and reminds him that he is part of a much larger story that God has been writing over the course of history.

What does the Lord do in the difficult places of our lives?

- [Message: "Seeking Glory" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/seeking-glory) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." After suffering through nine terrible plagues, Pharaoh is still unwilling to let God's people go. Why has his heart remained so hard? He is obsessed with his own glory. In Exodus 11, God shows us what he will do to win glory over Pharaoh. As we look at this story, we will consider the ways in which we might seek after God's glory instead of our own.

- [Message: "A Night of Watching" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-night-of-watching) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." This is the climax of the story of the Exodus. God's people leave their slavery in Egypt. As God executes the tenth plague on Egypt, the Israelites are given instructions on how to find protection from God. Intermingled with the story in Egypt are instructions for remembering this night every year to come. This night -- a night of watching -- would become the foundational event to shape God's people throughout history.

- [Message: "Into the Chaos" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/into-the-chaos) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." We look out at life, and it looks like chaos. We can't make sense of it. It's confusing. We wonder if we'll get swallowed up by the chaos if we move forward into it. The Israelites looked out at a sea of chaos. Nevertheless, the Lord commanded them to step into it.
- [Message: "Hebrews 7" from Janice Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/hebrews-7) - A message from the series "Women." Women's Connection 22-23 Hebrews series
- [Message: "A Song of Victory" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/a-song-of-victory) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." After the Egyptian army is drowned in the sea, Moses and the people sing a song of praise to God for his victory over evil. Their song is meant to be our song as well as we rejoice in the victory of God.
- [Message: "The Power of Place" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-power-of-place) - A message from the series "Things Of Earth." As we begin the Advent season, we'll be reflecting on how the birth of Jesus changes the way we think about the things of earth. Jesus was born in a particular place. What does that mean for how we think about our physical place in the world? Does God care about places? What are his purposes for the Silicon Valley? Join us as we explore these questions.
- [Message: "The Stuff of Generosity" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-stuff-of-generosity) - A message from the series "Things Of Earth." During the Advent season, we are reflecting on God's purposes for the things of this earth. After considering the place we find ourselves, we move on to thinking about the stuff we surround ourselves with. What do we do with the plenty of stuff that we have? What does generous giving look like? What does it accomplish? How are we changed when we give away our stuff?
- [Message: "Simplicity: Creating Space for What Matters Most" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/simplicity-creating-space-for-what-matters-most) - A message from the series "Things Of Earth." We live in a culture that tells us that happiness comes from the stuff we buy and the experiences that we have. According to Jesus, that's not the way life works. If we are going to experience abundant life in Jesus, we need to learn to cut out much of what is unnecessary in our lives to create space for what matters most.
- [Message: "The Poverty of Our Lord" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-poverty-of-our-lord) - A message from the series "Things Of Earth." Especially at Christmastime, we remember that God has given us his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. What then remains for us to do? Paul addresses this question in 2 Corinthians 8-9, a passage that features one of the most profound expressions of incarnational theology in all the Scriptures.
- [Message: "A New Master" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-new-master) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." We pick up the story of God's people right after they are freed from slavery in Egypt. They have been given a new life, but they don't know how to live it yet. So God begins to teach them by providing for their needs in miraculous ways. Water. Food. Rest. Everything comes from him. As we watch them, we can learn the same lesson: God is the one who provides for all our needs.
- [Message: "The Tyranny of Expectations" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-tyranny-of-expectations) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." A few of us, for whatever reason, care little what other people think. Most of us, however, are not immune to expectations. Some of us, in fact, are tyrannized by them. What can we do to be free? We need a vision of God. Exodus 17, as it leads us into the gospels, gives us one.
- [Message: "A Burden Shared" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/a-burden-shared) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." Do you ever do things, especially too many things, because of what people expect? Do you ever do things, especially too many things, because you think you're most qualified and no one else can do them as well as you? If so, you have much in common with Moses. His father-in-law has some advice for him'and us.
- [Message: "Ready to Listen" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/ready-to-listen) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." We are about to arrive at the most important chapter in the book of Exodus: the giving of the Ten Commandments. But before we get there, God must make sure his people are ready to listen well to his instructions. As we watch him prepare the people, we will learn how important it is to prepare ourselves to hear from God and what it takes to do so.
- [Message: "Words of Life" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/41-words-of-life) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." The Ten Commandments are some of the most well-known words in all of Scripture, and yet they are so easy misunderstood. As we look at these words, we will discover that they are not threats, unreasonable demands, or outdated requirements. Rather, they are a roadmap to life as it is meant to be lived.
- [Message: "I Stretch Out My Hands To You" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/i-stretch-out-my-hands-to-you) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." We were born with spiritual thirst. Spend a few minutes alone without doing anything, and you'll probably feel it. What do we do with it?
- [Message: "Some Healthy Motivation" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/some-healthy-motivation) - A message from the series "Exodus:Journey to Freedom." As we seek walk with God, we must learn some information about God and what he expects of us. However, that information is not likely to result in action unless it is accompanied by motivation. In Exodus 23:20-33, God gives the people of Israel some motivation to follow him, and that motivation is needed for us today as well.
- [Message: "Journey to Death" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/journey-to-death) - A message from the series "Suffering Servant, Conquering King." During the season of Lent, we will be reflecting on passages from the book of Mark that highlight the dual themes of Jesus as suffering servant and conquering king. For the first week, we look at three different predictions Jesus makes about his death and resurrection. As we encounter the intensifying predictions, we will be challenged by Jesus' resolve to journey toward death. But we will also see how the disciples seemed to completely miss the foreshadowing of his resurrection. How are we called to follow Jesus toward death? How do we miss the promise of the resurrection?
- [Message: "Mountain Top Experience" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/mountain-top-experience) - A message from the series "Suffering Servant, Conquering King." In Mark 9, the disciples get a glimpse at the full glory of Jesus. This is truly a mountain top experience. Have you had a mountain top experience with God? Do you long for such an experience? What can we learn about Jesus'and about our discipleship to him'on the mountain top?
- [Message: "Marvelous In Our Eyes" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/marvelous-in-our-eyes) - A message from the series "Suffering Servant, Conquering King." In Mark 12, Jesus tells a story about a farmer that so reflects an otherworldly kind of love'the kind of love that can heal the ache in our hearts.

A new year presents opportunities as well as uncertainties. Would what we have been praying for finally come to fruition in 2023, or would our lives be turned upside down by events we have not planned for? We will look at a story recorded in II Kings 4:8 ' 37, where God surprised a young woman, brought her closer to him than ever, as she was brought to heights and depths she had never imagined.

- [Message: "Goodness" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/8-goodness) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." The sixth aspect of the fruit of the Spirit that grows within us as we walk by the Spirit is goodness. But what does it mean to be good? And how does goodness get cultivated in our lives? As we explore this biblical theme, we'll discover a God who replicates his character in his people and sows the seeds of goodness wherever they walk.
- [Message: "Kindness" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/76-kindness) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit."
- [Message: "Patience" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/68-patience) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." “Patience is a virtue,” the old saying goes, and some of us would respond, “It’s not a virtue of mine.” However, patience is also a fruit of the Spirit. How would you like a little more of it?
- [Message: "What Have We Forgotten?" from Peter Chin](https://pbc.org/messages/what-have-we-forgotten) - A message from the series "Main Service." One main issue with the Galatian church was that they had forgotten truths that they had once known, a dynamic that we often overlook as forward-thinking Americans. There are three truths that the Galatians (and we) have to remember time and time again, that we are saved by Christ, that we walk by the Spirit, and that we are one family in Christ.
- [Message: "Peace" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/21-peace) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." The third fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 is “peace”—that is, peace with each other. How do we in the church live in peace with each other. The New Testament has some answers for us.
- [Message: "Joy" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/19-joy) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." Joy is one of the qualities that is meant to characterize followers of Jesus, yet many people have a hard time truly finding joy. What is the key to experiencing more joy in life? The answer might be different than you think.

- [Message: "Walk By the Spirit" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/walk-by-the-spirit) - A message from the series "Fruit of the Spirit." As we kick off our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit, we want to see what it takes to produce this fruit in our lives. We'll learn that followers of Jesus don't aim for a certain kind of life, they aim for walking by the Spirit. When that happens, all kinds of good things follow.
- [Message: "The Vine" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-vine) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." Aren't most of us concerned about being productive and efficient? In the last of his seven statements about himself, Jesus offers an image which transforms how we think about our lives. When he claims to be the vine, he gives us a simple command that results in a powerful outcome.
- [Message: "The Way, the Truth, and the Life" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-way-the-truth-and-the-life) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." It is easy to lose our way in life. It is even easier to be lost without knowing it. Jesus, as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, helps us find our proper destination and provides the way for us to get there.
- [Message: "The Resurrection and the Life" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/26-the-resurrection-and-the-life) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." In the fifth of Jesus' seven statements about himself, he addresses one of our most primal concerns: the fear of death. Jesus claims to be "the resurrection and the life" during a series of events which prove the truth of that claim. One of his closest friends has died, but Jesus goes to a funeral and performs his most spectacular miracle: Lazarus is brought back to life. As we follow this story and hear the words of Jesus, we will consider our own attitude toward life and faith in Jesus.
- [Message: "The Good Shepherd" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/63-the-good-shepherd) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." There are certain people and institutions who should care for people but don’t. Jesus calls them “hired hands.” By contrast, Jesus defines himself as the “good shepherd.” What makes him good? And how can we benefit from his care?
- [Message: "The Door of the Sheep" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-door-of-the-sheep) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." What makes life worth living? Some would say pleasure. Others would say power. Still others might say fame or success or even love. In the most obscure of the “I am” statements, Jesus corrects our misunderstandings about the good life and shows us that abundant life is only found in him.
- [Message: "Reoriented Toward Christ" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/reoriented-toward-christ) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." In the second part of his "household code", the apostle Paul addresses the realms of family and employment. His commands to children, fathers, bondservants, and masters echo many of the same themes from his earlier instructions to wives and husbands. Instead of merely giving a Christian version of cultural expectations, he reimagines the relationship with Christ at its center. As we understand his purpose, we can apply this in our families, workplaces, and indeed: everywhere.
- [Message: "Love God: Strength" from Terri Vines](https://pbc.org/messages/love-god-strength) - A message from the series "Women."
- [Message: "The Bread of Life" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/23-the-bread-of-life) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus." After hearing the news of the resurrection on Easter Day, we want to follow up by asking the question, "Who is this Jesus who rose from the dead?" One of the best ways to encounter Jesus is to explore what he says about himself. The gospel of John records seven different statements beginning with "I am" in which Jesus reveals his identity. This morning we'll begin by looking at Jesus' claim that he is the "bread of life." What significance does this statement have for people in general and the Jews in particular? What does it mean to us? And if Jesus is bread, how are we fed by him? As we follow these threads, we'll discover that this metaphor runs deeper than we ever imagined.
- [Message: "The Light of the World" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/6-the-light-of-the-world) - A message from the series "I Am, Getting to Know Jesus."
- [Message: "Love God: Mind" from Kathy Woodhall](https://pbc.org/messages/love-god-mind) - A message from the series "Women." Second in series on Loving God with heart, soul, mind and strength.
- [Message: "Seek and Find" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/seek-and-find) - A message from the series "Main Service." Everyone, it seems, is looking for something. Jesus asked two men who started to follow him, “What are you seeking?” What are you looking for? Do you know? The audacious promise of the Scriptures, coming from God himself, is that those who seek him will find him. How can this be so?
- [Message: "Love God: Heart and Soul" from Terri Vines](https://pbc.org/messages/love-god-heart-and-soul) - A message from the series "Women." Love God series, Part 1 (Women's Connection)
- [Message: "Dreams and Disruptions" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/dreams-and-disruptions) - A message from the series "Main Service." In order to celebrate the events of Palm Sunday, we'll watch Jesus enter Jerusalem from two different perspectives. In the book of Ephesians, we saw how Jesus brought peace between Jews and Gentiles. To understand the radical nature of that unity, we'll see Jesus's entrance through the eyes of a typical Jew and a typical Gentile. Their different experiences will help us to reflect on our own perception of Jesus and what he might mean to the world around us today.
- [Message: "Battle Cry" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/battle-cry) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." The apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians insists that all of us are in a worldwide war and that battles are being fought right here where we live. We are at war with the devil and his demons. What is their objective? What are their tactics? And how do we fight them?
- [Message: "Learning to Love like Jesus" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/learning-to-love-like-jesus) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." As followers of Jesus, we are called to imitate the love of Jesus. While this calling is simple, it is not always easy. In Ephesians 5:1-21, we explore the obstacles that keep us from truly loving people and find the key to growing in Christlike love
- [Message: "Marriage and the Mystery" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/marriage-and-the-mystery) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." As the apostle Paul continues practically applying the truth of the gospel, he arrives at the topic of marriage. Separate instructions are given to wives and to husbands, but the underlying message is the same. Instead of focusing on their partner, their attention is drawn to Christ. The goal of marriage is not to get what they want out of their spouse, but to deepen their dependence on Jesus.
- [Message: "Better Desires" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/better-desires) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." In Ephesians 4:25-32, Paul spells out in specific terms what’s life-diminishing and what’s life-enhancing. He gets practical. He tells us what to do and what not to do. What to do and what not to do have very much to do with how we treat people. What to do and what not to do have very much to do with the words we use.
- [Message: "Spiritual Physiology" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/spiritual-physiology) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." The primary biblical metaphor used to describe the church is a body. Often times, however, we don’t understand how this body really works. What is its purpose? How does it grow? What happens when it gets sick? We find the answer to these questions and more in Ephesians 4:1-16.
- [Message: "The Sweetest Songs" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-sweetest-songs) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." Sin has its allure. We have all heard it, felt it, and capitulated to it at least to some degree. Some have capitulated to sin in ways that changed the course of their lives—and not for the better. How do we resist sin, and what measures can we take so that we don’t make choices that we can’t undo?
- [Message: "Knowing the Unknowable" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/knowing-the-unknowable) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." To wrap up the first half of Ephesians, the apostle Paul offers a beautiful prayer. At the heart of his request is for followers of Jesus to know the unknowable love of Christ. But he acknowledges that we need strength from God to do so. Let's see how this prayer can help us to experience the love of Christ in a new way.
- [Message: "What Can Jesus Do?" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/what-can-jesus-do) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul has been building up to this. There’s a mystery that he reveals in Ephesians 3:1-13. He calls it “the mystery of Christ.” Well, what is it?
- [Message: "God's Dream Home" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-dream-home) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." These verses provide one of the richest explanations of unity in the entire New Testament. Using the imagery of a building, the apostle Paul describes how two groups of people, separated by centuries of hostility, are brought together as one new humanity. This example of unity offers us a timely encouragement in our own culture to see God break down barriers between groups of people and to "be built together to become a dwelling in which God lives."
- [Message: "A Trip to Heaven" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/a-trip-to-heaven) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." Do you find yourself living anxiously?

- [Message: "Eyes of the Heart" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/eyes-of-the-heart) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." Do we appreciate what we have in Christ?

- [Message: "Bigger Than You Think" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/bigger-than-you-think) - A message from the series "Ephesians-The Mystery of Christ." As we kick off a new series in the book of Ephesians, we immediately encounter the mystery of God's will. This book focuses on who we are in Christ and how to live out that identity. But it also describes a mystery that is bigger than grander than we could ever imagine. In the first section, we hear about God's work for us and see that the story of the gospel is bigger than we think.
- [Message: "You're Invited" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/youre-invited) - A message from the series "Good News, Great Joy." A savior is born, and invitations go out—who is invited? This morning we look at the invitation to meet this savior given to very unlikely candidates and discover how long the guest list truly is.
- [Message: "Make It Yours" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/make-it-yours) - A message from the series "Main Service." In Psalm 23, David uses first-person singular pronouns such as “I,” “me,” and “my” a staggering seventeen times in a mere six verses. It’s an intensely personal psalm, which means it can be an intensely personal psalm for us.
- [Message: "The Waiting is the Hardest Part" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/the-waiting-is-the-hardest-part) - A message from the series "Main Service." Elder Eric Soderberg teaches from Psalm 25.

- [Message: "Announcing the Announcer" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/announcing-the-announcer) - A message from the series "Good News, Great Joy." For the season of Advent, we will be looking at announcements of the Christmas Story. As we track different proclamations of the event that is to come, we'll see how each of them communicates something unique about the Good News that leads to great joy. To start, we'll be following the story of Zechariah as he hears the announcement of John the Baptist. The announcement to Zechariah isn't about Jesus, it's about the forerunner of the Christ. This morning we'll hear about Announcing the Announcer.
- [Message: "Hope For the Humble" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/hope-for-the-humble) - A message from the series "Good News, Great Joy." When the angel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary, he brought a message of hope: the Messiah was on his way! This message of hope is for us as well, but we must be humble enough to receive it.
- [Message: "Set Your Heart" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/set-your-heart) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." Ezra was a man who converted the word of God into action. He not only knew the word, he also did the word. How did he do it?
- [Message: "Drastic Measures" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/drastic-measures) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." We heard last week, based on Ezra 9, that we need to take sin seriously. We learn more how to do that in Ezra 10. In Ezra 9, Ezra became aware that large number of Israelite men had married foreign women who worship other gods. In Ezra 10, Ezra takes drastic measures.
- [Message: "A Mountain of Mercy" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-mountain-of-mercy) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." After the successful trip from Persia, Ezra receives some news that causes him to immediately become discouraged. The community of God's people have done something which threatens to invalidate the whole project of returning from exile. As we watch Ezra's response, we'll learn about how to face the brokenness of our own world. And we'll see how our only hope of salvation is in the mercy of God.
- [Message: "Carrying A Treasure" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/carrying-a-treasure) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." Ezra the priest begins a journey leading the second wave of people to return to Jerusalem from Persia. But like any journey, this one faces obstacles along the way. How can a vast amount of treasure be safely transported hundreds of miles across dangerous territory? As we see God overcome the obstacles faced by this group of Jewish migrants, we'll reflect on the treasure that we carry. How can we be faithful to the task God has given us? Can we survive the danger?
- [Message: "The Houses of God and Man" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-houses-of-god-and-man) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." After the discouraged Jews stopped working on the temple, the prophets speak to encourage the work. In response, the work resumes, but the Jews face bureaucratic challenges from government officials. As they navigate those challenges, we will see how building the house of God still acknowledges the authority of the house of man. But we'll also see how God's presence and work permeates everything that happens on earth.
- [Message: "Much to Celebrate" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/celebrate-the-feast) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild."

Ezra 6, as it leads us into the New Testament, suggests that we consider coming to church to celebrate.
- [Message: "Remember Who You Are" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/remember-who-you-are) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." After hearing about how God stirred up people to return to Jerusalem from Persia, in this chapter we meet them. Along with over 100 names of people, we learn who they were, what had happened to them, and some of what they were hoping for with a new start. As the issue of their identity takes center stage, we are invited to ask questions of our own identity. What identity has God given us? How do we remember who we are?
- [Message: "The Mess Between Your Ears" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/what-is-true) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." Sometimes we don’t know what we think. Sometimes we know what we think, but we don’t know why we think it. Where do these thoughts that occur in our minds come from, anyway: from ourselves, from God, or from someplace else? Perhaps there are times when we feel as if we need to empty out the inside of our heads.
- [Message: "Build The Altar First" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/build-the-altar-first) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild." The Israelites have returned, so they get to the work of rebuilding the temple. As they do so, we'll see them dealing with issues that are as current today as they were then. How do they move forward with something new while honoring the past? What is the first priority of a community when it comes to cultivating the presence of God? How do you deal with different reactions to a physical space? In the midst of these difficult questions, we'll see the goodness of God highlighted as the unifying declaration for the people of God.
- [Message: "Rise Up" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/rise-up) - A message from the series "Return & Rebuild."

- [Message: "Heaven On Earth" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/heaven-on-earth) - A message from the series "Teach Us To Pray."

- [Message: "A Prayer For the Helpless" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/a-prayer-for-the-helpless) - A message from the series "Teach Us To Pray."

In the last part of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus reminds us that we are all helpless, but his power of more than enough for us.
- [Message: "Praying for Avocado Toast" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/praying-for-avocado-toast) - A message from the series "Teach Us To Pray." As our Father in heaven, God loves it when we bring our requests to him. With the well-known words, “Give us this day our daily bread,” Jesus invites us to place our trust fully in Christ as we depend on him to provide us with everything that we need.
- [Message: "The Heart of Prayer" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-heart-of-prayer) - A message from the series "Teach Us To Pray." Prayer was the heartbeat of Jesus’ life. It was as natural to him as breathing. Yet, many of us struggle in our prayer lives. In the first two lines of The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus reveals the heart of prayer. As we internalize these words, we can also develop a heart of prayer.
- [Message: "What Do You See When You Look to Jesus?" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/what-do-you-see-when-you-look-to-jesus) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." As we finish up our series in Stories of Faith, we consider one last character: ourselves. Having been inspired by the faith of others, we are encouraged in our own faith journey to focus on Jesus. The reminder is simple, but easily forgotten. With so many distractions, our eyes are drawn to a variety of things. But could there be another reason we don't focus on Jesus? Could it be that we're afraid at what we'll see when we look into his face?
- [Message: "Honest Faith" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/honest-faith) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." How much faith do I need to get God to answer my prayers? That’s a reasonable question, but it’s the wrong one. At the end of Hebrews 11, we learn that God is less concerned with the quality of our faith than he is with the honesty of our faith.
- [Message: "Faith One Step at a Time" from Ray Kaestner](https://pbc.org/messages/faith-one-step-at-a-time) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." As we continue looking at “Stories of Faith” in Hebrews 11, we are going to be studying Moses, Joshua, and Rahab to see how God prepared them to step out in faith. What is God calling you to do? How is he preparing you?
- [Message: "BY FAITH: Reorient, Refocus, Receive" from Brian Shiu](https://pbc.org/messages/by-faith-re-orient-re-focus-receive) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith."

We can learn from their example of faith, as they faced similar life challenges that we do today, and find Jesus in our lives.
- [Message: "Faith's Ripple Effect" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/faiths-ripple-effect) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." What do you do when the dream or vision is in jeopardy? This week, we’ll continue our look at the patriarchs and will see how Abraham acts out of faith even when it seems contrary to the vision God has given him. This one courageous act of faith sends a ripple effect through generations and is an encouragement for us to trust in God’s providence and share about his faithfulness to the next generation.
- [Message: "What Makes God Proud" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/what-makes-god-proud) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." Even in the best of times, do you feel as if something is missing or out of whack? If so, you’re in good company. The patriarchs, beginning with Abraham, felt the same way. They were men and women of desire: they wanted something more. What do you want?
- [Message: "Their Story. Your Story." from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/their-story-your-story) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." In our second message of our “Stories of Faith,” we are reminded of what actually pleases God: faith. The writer of Hebrews highlights this principle by pointing us to the stories of three Old Testament characters, Abel, Enoch, and Noah. They are attributed to having pleased God not by their obedience alone but by their faith. We, too, can please God through our faith and be assured that he will reward us with his presence and inclusion in his family through Christ, the perfecter of our faith.
- [Message: "Taste and Trust" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/taste-and-trust) - A message from the series "Stories of Faith." Perhaps these days we could use a little faith. What is faith? The writer of Hebrews answers the question at the beginning of Hebrews 11. He defines faith in a way that defines the function of faith. What does faith do? Specifically, what does faith do for us?
- [Message: "Joseph's Tears" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/josephs-tears) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." This text has two sections. Each mentions Joseph's tears - crying in grief at his father's death and in sorrow for the brokenness of his brothers.

- [Message: "Surprise Blessing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/surprise-blessing) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." As Jacob's death draws near, there are a few loose ends that he wants to tie up. He secures his burial place and adopts two of Joseph's sons as his own. But his blessing comes with a surprise which upsets Joseph. As we reflect on this blessing, we'll reflect on how we respond when God's blessings to us aren't exactly what we expected them to be.

- [Message: "The Good Life" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-good-life) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." How have your years been? The question, as Jacob answers it, gives us a window through which to evaluate our years and ascertain where we go from here. And what makes for a good life, anyway?
- [Message: "Moving the Family of God" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/moving-the-family-of-god) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." As news of Joseph's family becomes known, Pharaoh makes a generous offer to Jacob and his sons. They are given a warm welcome and the best of the land.

- [Message: "The Most Human Human" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-most-human-human) - A message from the series "Lamentations." This Easter Sunday at PBC, we'll see how the resurrection of Jesus gave his followers a message that their world needed to hear. Shortly after defeating shame and death, he brought his disciples up to a hill and charged them with offering a message of hope. Jesus died and rose again so that we could become fully restored humans. And then he entrusted us with proclaiming that message to the world. After the last year, our world needs some good news. Can we bring it to them?

- [Message: "God, Why? Please, Maybe" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/god-why-please-maybe) - A message from the series "Lamentations." In the last chapter of Lamentations, the author addresses shame. After recounting the depth of pain of suffering, he turns to the disgrace of his people. Unlike most of us, Jeremiah's brings his shame into the open. He invites God to see it, he describes it in all its gory detail. He ends by asking God for restoration. This pattern becomes a model for us and a path toward freedom from shame.
- [Message: "It's Not Over" from Kaloma Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/its-not-over) - A message from the series "Lamentations."

We're also called to recognize the unique trauma of vulnerable people. And we're encouraged to pour out our hearts to God as we express the grief of suffering. When we lament, we learn to see our pain, the pain of others, and we ask God to see it too.

- [Message: "The Worst Best Thing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-worst-best-thing) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." In this passage, we witness the event which sets up the rest of Joseph's story. His brothers turn against him, attack him and sell him into slavery. Three major characters emerge from this narrative: Joseph, his brother Judah, and their father Jacob. This event affects each of them differently, but becomes the starting point for God's work in their life. As we encounter their stories, we will see echoes in our own lives and be led to the work of Christ in us.

- [Message: "God's Work in the Mess" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-work-in-the-mess) - A message from the series "The Story of Joseph." We begin a new series looking at the story of Joseph. This is one of the richest, most detailed personal narratives in the entire Bible. It's a story of family, culture, failure, suffering, and redemption. But mostly it's a story about God's promises being fulfilled. As the story begins, we'll encounter the complicated mess of a family that Joseph comes from. But we'll also see how God gives him some incredible promises to hold onto.

- [Message: "Idol Stress" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/idol-stress) - A message from the series "Main Service." Our idolatry runs deeper than we think. God is jealous and disrupts us to confront us. Our idols can only be removed when they are replaced by Jesus, moment by moment.
- [Message: "Peace On Earth" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/peace-on-earth) - A message from the series "Main Service." If the angels in the second chapter of the gospel of Luke were signaling peace on earth as they commemorated the birth of Jesus, one could be forgiven for surmising that they were misinformed, for war has continued unabated on earth from the day Jesus was born until this day. However, what’s true of most books is true of the gospel of Luke: you need to keep reading.
- [Message: "Having an Eternal Perspective" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/having-an-eternal-perspective) - A message from the series "Main Service." The question before us today is: what allowed the apostle Paul to go through the many afflictions and difficulties he faced? What allowed him to go through the many afflictions and difficulties he faced without losing heart and losing hope? Moreover, what can we learn from Paul's life that will help us to go through our own afflictions and difficulties? The answer, at least in part, is provided in today's passage--a passage in which Paul talks about having an eternal perspective.

- [Message: "Lean Into The Fire" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/lean-into-the-fire) - A message from the series "Flourish." We spend much of our lives trying to avoid or alleviate the pain that we experience. However, the key to flourishing is not to run from our pain. Rather, as followers of Jesus, we must expect to suffer and learn to lean into our suffering. When we do, we will learn that suffering is not our enemy, but a tool for growth and an opportunity to glorify God.

The United States experiences an exorbitant amount of turbulence in family life, not least because of rampant individualism. Peter’s instructions regarding marriage come as a helpful tonic.
- [Message: "Jars Of Clay" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/jars-of-clay) - A message from the series "Recovery." Our physical bodies are like jars of clay--jars of clay that contain a great treasure. The treasure is actually the presence of God himself. God himself has come to dwell within each person who has placed his or her faith in Jesus. Moreover, God often makes himself known through us during difficult times, as well as through an ongoing life of dying to self.
- [Message: "The Prodigal Son" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/the-prodigal-son) - A message from the series "Recovery." The parable of the prodigal son is an ancient teaching that is still current today. It is a teaching about the futility of searching for life in all the wrong places. Ultimately, too, it is a teaching about finally turning to God--about finally turning to the only One who can truly provide the life we have always wanted.

- [Message: "How To Suffer" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/how-to-suffer) - A message from the series "Flourish." Pain is an inescapable part of life, but many of us don’t know what to do when we find ourselves in a place of suffering. After discussing how believers ought to relate to government and slaves to their masters, Peter takes a step back to give some general instructions on how to suffer well. He offers the life of Jesus as an example, gives us concrete suggestions to follow in the midst of pain, and offers an incredibly hopeful picture of how suffering fits into God's plan for the world. In learning how to experience pain, we find the freedom of hope in Christ.

- [Message: "Re-envisioning Church" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/re-envisioning-church) - A message from the series "Flourish." The church is messy; there is no denying that. But the church is also called, chosen, and precious to God. In 1 Peter 2:4-10, the identity and purpose of the church come into clear focus, reminding us of who we are — a beautiful community of redeemed sinners who proclaim the excellencies of Jesus to the world.

- [Message: "The Life of Flourishing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-life-of-flourishing) - A message from the series "Flourish." After the opening of the letter helps the readers to fully understand the future salvation available to them, Peter continues by describing how to live toward that future. He gives his readers five instructions for living out the life of flourishing. They are general commands, not applied yet to specific situations, but helpful as a framework for understanding how to live the Christian life. These are the steps to a life of flourishing.

Passage: 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 Summary: Some of the Corinthians were questioning Paul's credibility. They were questioning whether or not he could be believed and trusted.

He shows how it enables joy in the midst of suffering. And he explains the unique privilege of living during this time of history. Peter shows us how the gospel gives us hope, joy, and wonder in Christ.

Music: Tim Moon and the Boys Passage: 2 Corinthians 2:1-11 Summary: Paul's relationship with the Corinthian church was not always an easy one. There were misunderstandings and even disagreements.

- [Message: "When We Don't Belong" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/when-we-dont-belong) - A message from the series "Flourish." Do you feel, somehow, that you don’t belong? C.S Lewis said that the sense that we are treated in this world as strangers is part of our “inconsolable secret.” What can we do about it?
- [Message: "Prayers Of Desperation" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/prayers-of-desperation) - A message from the series "Prayers For the Moment." 2020 has driven many of us to some pretty desperate places.

As we look at Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish, we will learn how to pray along with Jonah, “Salvation belongs to our God.”
- [Message: "What Faithfulness Feels Like" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/what-faithfulness-feels-like) - A message from the series "Prayers For the Moment." Elijah was a faithful man of God. But in this story, we will see him in a very dark place -depressed, anxious, and suicidal. Many of us will recognize some of the feelings he experiences. We will come to see that faithfulness to God often includes difficult times. But we will also see how God responds – not necessarily with a fix to the problem, but with his presence and provision in the midst of it.

- [Message: "Prayer From the Heart" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/prayer-from-the-heart) - A message from the series "Prayers For the Moment." What is the state of your heart? And does it match the words of your prayers? This week in our “Prayers for the Moment” series, we’ll look at two examples of honest prayer from the heart. The hope is that we are encouraged to not withhold the state of our heart from God, but rather that we lay our heart bare before him and learn to trust in his sovereign will.

This week we're going to take a look at Luke 18, a chapter that has a few parables and narratives on prayer.

Only He can humble the self-righteous and when those in need cry out to Him, He answers.

The prophet Daniel lived in unsettled and uncertain times—times resembling those in which we ourselves are living. The question is: how should we pray during such times? How should we pray when the times are unsettled and uncertain? Daniel’s prayer at the beginning of Daniel 9 gives us a wonderful example--a wonderful example of how to pray.

- [Message: "A Prayer When There Is No Way Out" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/a-prayer-when-there-is-no-way-out) - A message from the series "Prayers For the Moment." In the Bible, there are prayers of asking, prayers of confession and lament, ones that praise God for what he has done, will do, or simply for who he is. But in Habakkuk 3, a most unusually prayer takes form. The prophet realizes the situation and solution results in terror within him. He realizes the true fear is not in the situation around him, and that his true joy is not in possessions, but in God’s mercy.

- [Message: "Stiff Necks and a Gracious God" from Ray Kaestner](https://pbc.org/messages/stiff-necks-and-a-gracious-god) - A message from the series "Prayers For the Moment." The people of Israel, having returned from Babylonian exile, gather together to pray. The prayer walks through the history of the nation of Israel. From the beginning God had pro-vided for them abundantly, but the people kept turning away from him. God was merciful and kept restoring them to Himself. What can we learn about our own walk with God by studying this prayer and the people’s response?

Parts of it are awesome. Parts of it are awful. Sometimes, it’s a confusing mix of awesome and awful. Is there a way for us to make sense of it all? Moses and the Israelites manage to put a few things together in Exodus 15:1-18.
- [Message: "Headed For Unity and Peace" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/headed-for-unity-and-peace) - A message from the series "One Kingdom Indivisible." In our final message of the "One Kingdom. Indivisible." series, we arrive at the end of the story. In Revelation we see the ultimate destination of the kingdom of God. When Jesus returns to complete his work of redemption, the kingdom of God will arrive on earth permanently. By understanding the character of that eternal kingdom, we can ensure that our work on earth lines up with God's work in the world.

- [Message: "Order Out of Chaos" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/26-order-out-of-chaos) - A message from the series "Recovery." The Corinthian church was vibrant and alive. However, its worship services were also chaotic with people speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, singing a hymn, sharing a revelation, or teaching a lesson, apparently at the same time. In today's passage, Paul provides instruction aimed at bringing some order into these chaotic services.
- [Message: "Living In Unity" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/living-in-unity) - A message from the series "One Kingdom Indivisible." In our fifth week of the One Kingdom Indivisible series we arrive at the era of the church. This is the story of the kingdom of God that we are living out: followers of Jesus, united in Him, living out their faith within an earthly political realm. When we understand our identity as the church, we know better how to treat each other and how to relate to the world. We live out the life of Christ: loving each other and paying special attention to the "least of these."

- [Message: "Building Up the Church" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/building-up-the-church) - A message from the series "Recovery." In today's passage, Paul is discussing the gift of tongues. His basic message: if you speak in tongues in church and no one understands you, don't speak in tongues. In church, only speak in tongues if there is someone to interpret. Otherwise, the church will not be edified, the church will not be built up.

- [Message: "Kingdom First" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/98-kingdom-first) - A message from the series "One Kingdom Indivisible." This week we get to the hinge in the story of the kingdom of God -- the preaching of the gospel. The ministry of Jesus eventually makes clear that his kingdom is a spiritual reality which transcends our earthly kingdoms. When people attempt to force him to take sides on the political issues of the day, he gives them a different perspective. His calling to us is clear. Above all things, we are kingdom first.

- [Message: "It's All About Love" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/its-all-about-love) - A message from the series "Recovery." We can say incredible things and do incredible things. However, as we learn in 1 Corinthians 13, if our motive is not love, we are missing the mark. If we are motivated by anything other than love, then, in God's sight, we are failing to be the people he has called us to be. Music: John Mausen
- [Message: "Transformed To Be A Blessing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/transformed-to-be-a-blessing) - A message from the series "One Kingdom Indivisible." In our third week of the collaborative preaching series on the kingdom of God, we look at the season of the exile. At the exodus, God gave his people a new identity as his people. But when he sent them into exile, his goal was to transform their character to match that identity. Instead of focusing on their rights, they were told to bless the city, even the nation which conquered their own. How can we take their story as our own and seek to bless the world around us?

- [Message: "Set Apart In Unity" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/set-apart-in-unity) - A message from the series "One Kingdom Indivisible." As we continue our collaborative preaching series on the unity of the kingdom of God, we focus on the birth of God's kingdom. When God's people were suffering as slaves in Egypt, he heard their cries, rescued them, and gave them a new identity as His people. Their story is our story. As we learn more about the identity God gave them, we can begin to understand our identity in Christ.

In response to the divisiveness of our culture, we'll be tracing the theme of the Kingdom of God throughout Scripture to understand our unity as followers of Jesus. This week we'll look at the Genesis - how we were created to work together, how divisiveness made that impossible, and God's solution to the problem.
- [Message: "Spiritual Gifts" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/64-spiritual-gifts) - A message from the series "Recovery." Each of us has been uniquely gifted by God.

- [Message: "The Main Thing" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/82-the-main-thing) - A message from the series "Main Service." Simply saying and doing the right things is not enough. Love needs to be our motive. Love needs to be the main thing. Without love, we are not accomplishing what God really desires.
- [Message: "Love That Never Leaves" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/38-love-that-never-leaves) - A message from the series "Bound For Glory." Fear of loss seems endemic to human life. As children we fear being separated from our parent—or from a cherished blanket or toy. As adults, we’re not that different. We’re afraid to lose relationships, jobs, possessions, power, status, or youth, for example. Romans 8:31-39 addresses these kinds of concerns.
- [Message: "How Do We Come Together?" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/how-do-we-come-together) - A message from the series "Recovery." Do we pursue self-sufficiency, ultimately leading to weakness and divisions? Or, are we ruthlessly honest with ourselves, about our own brokenness, remembering Jesus’ death in our place and behaving with utter dependence on Him, leading to mutual humility?
- [Message: "All The Lonely People" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/all-the-lonely-people) - A message from the series "Recovery." Passage: Luke 18: 35-19: 10 Description: Jesus challenges narrow religious expectations by reaching out to two very different men who are both ‘outsiders’.
- [Message: "God's Good Purpose" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-good-purpose) - A message from the series "Bound For Glory." God’s creation groans, God’s people groan, and God’s Spirit groans. What comes of all this groaning? The answer in Romans 8:28-30 is breathtaking.
- [Message: "Authority, Roles, and Other Minefields" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/authority-roles-and-other-minefields) - A message from the series "Recovery." The subject of authority and roles has always been a hot-button subject. It has always been an emotionally-charged minefield, especially when it has to do with the relationship between a husband and a wife. Today's passage addresses that emotionally-charged and controversial subject. Music by John Mausen **PBC Recovery Ministry: pbc.org/recovery**

- [Message: "Groaning For Glory" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/86-groaning-for-glory) - A message from the series "Bound For Glory." In Romans 8:18-27, we hear three groans: the groans of God’s creation, the groans of God’s people, and the groans of God’s Spirit. Nevertheless, the groans are hopeful. Therefore, we can and should groan, but we also can and should groan hopefully.
- [Message: "Putting My Neighbor Before Myself" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/putting-my-neighbor-before-myself) - A message from the series "Recovery." We mature in Christ by learning to set ourselves aside. In these verses Paul gives us two alternatives to selfishness: a) "seek the good of my neighbor” and b) “do all to the glory of God”.

- [Message: "Abba! Father!" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/4-abba-father) - A message from the series "Bound For Glory." If we believe in Christ, we’re bound for glory, but at times, life seems like a long and lonely journey up a hill. Maybe at times God, our heavenly Father, seems a long way off. Nevertheless, the apostle Paul assures us, we have the Holy Spirit to help us.
- [Message: "No Condemnation" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/77-no-condemnation) - A message from the series "Bound For Glory." If you’re a believer in Christ, do you feel that no matter how well you’re doing, whatever it is that you’re doing, that you’re not doing well enough? If so, you’re not alone.

- [Message: "The Gospel According to Job" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-gospel-according-to-job) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." For the past six weeks, the book of Job has helped us meet God in the midst of our chaos and pain. As we finish our study of Job, we see that Job’s story also points us to the gospel itself and invites us to place our hope in Jesus, our Savior.

- [Message: "He Speaks In the Chaos" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/he-speaks-in-the-chaos) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." Our world is full of chaos. The uncertainty surrounding our current pandemic has brought this fact into sharp focus for us. Can you hear God’s voice in the midst of the chaos? What does he have to say about the uncertainty that we are facing? As God finally speaks to Job in the midst of his suffering, we will hear what God has to say to us in the midst of our trials as well.
- [Message: "Pastor Andy COVID-19 Update" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/pastor-andy-covid-19-update) - A message from the series "Recovery." Pastor Andy gives the Recovery Community an update on PBC's recent closures due to the concerns about the spread of COVID-19.
- [Message: "The Purpose of Pain" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-purpose-of-pain) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." After hearing from Job's three friends for over 20 chapters, we are ready for a new voice. In this section, we meet Elihu, who claims to have a fresh perspective on Job's suffering. While his assessment of Job is helpful, he too presents a faulty picture of God. Through his words, we realize that asking about the purpose of pain might be the wrong question. Does God really cause our suffering? Or is it more complicated than that?
- [Message: "Life's Not Fair" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/lifes-not-fair) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." Do you ever have a hard time reconciling the injustice in the world with the justice of God? Job certainly did. As Job and his friends wrestle over why he has suffered such great loss, we realize that human wisdom can only take us so far. In the end, we must trust the wisdom of God.

- [Message: "Wishing The Past Away" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/wishing-away-the-past) - A message from the series "Shattered: The Story of Job." After hearing about the terrible events that happen to Job, we see his detailed response. In contrast to his earlier acceptance, we experience Job's raw grief-stricken emotion. He curses the day of his birth, laments his life, and pours out his pain. In his response to suffering, we see reflections of our own. But we also find hints of a roadmap for walking through pain toward the glory of a deeper relationship with God.
- [Message: "When Marriages Run Into Trouble" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/when-marriages-run-into-trouble) - A message from the series "Recovery."

- [Message: "Breakthrough" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/breakthrough) - A message from the series "Songs of the Soul." Do you ever feel stuck in your relationship with God? The solution may not be as difficult as you fear. In Psalm 103, we are invited to sing the song of a soul that has been radically transformed by the love of God and to experience our own transformation as we learn to sing this song ourselves.
- [Message: "Words of Life" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/words-of-life) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Our words are incredibly powerful. They have the power to bring great blessing or deep pain. The Proverbs are full of helpful instruction on how to use our words to create life for ourselves and others. Scripture: Proverbs
- [Message: "Come And Behold Him" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/come-and-behold-him) - A message from the series "Main Service." There are many things trying to grab our attention during the holiday season. They flood our feeds with flashy colors and killer deals. The fill the malls with cheerful sounds and delicious smells. But there is only one thing this holiday season that can leave us truly amazed — Jesus Christ himself. Let us come and behold him.
- [Message: "Whom Do You Fear?" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/whom-do-you-fear) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Proverbs speaks repeatedly about the "fear of the LORD." But we're also told in other places of Scripture "fear not." How do we make sense of this? What does fearing God really look like? What prevents from having an appropriate fear of God? What happens when we cultivate that in our lives? We'll rediscover the fear of God and see our spiritual lives transformed.
- [Message: "Choosing Life in a Sex Addicted Culture" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/choosing-life-in-a-sex-addicted-culture) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." In Proverbs, a father gives advice about life to his son. Much of the book deals with sexuality. Chapter 5 offers warnings and promises about how to find real sexual fulfillment in a culture of confusing messages. These words can help us to find our way in our own confusing culture as well. Recommended for further reading: Divine Sex by Jonathan Grant.

Second class of the Exegesis of the Upper Room Discourse; fourth course of the Disciple Foundry.
- [Message: "Getting Our of Your Comfort Zone" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/getting-our-of-your-comfort-zone) - A message from the series "Main Service." The world we live in, especially here in the Silicon Valley, seems to worship personal comfort. As I hope we'll see this morning, God has a much greater plan for our lives--a plan that involves stepping out of our comfort zone or, at times, being forced out of our comfort zone.

- [Message: "Live Justly with the Poor" from Corrie Gustafson](https://pbc.org/messages/live-justly-with-the-poor) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Jesus reminded his disciples that the poor would always be with them. Poverty continues to be an issue around the globe. As children of God, how should we regard and care for the poor? Scripture: Various Proverbs
- [Message: "Be Humbled to Be Wise" from Corrie Gustafson](https://pbc.org/messages/be-humbled-to-be-wise) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Humility is a common buzz-word among Christians. We know our character and actions should reflect the humility we see in Jesus. The book of Proverbs teaches that humility is an essential ingredient in wisdom, but how do we become humble? Proverbs offers some down-to-earth, practical ideas about humility.
- [Message: "Drunkenness and Other Dangers" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/drunkenness-and-other-dangers) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." The Bible strongly and repeatedly warns against drunkenness. In today's passage, we will see why. We will see the impact that excessive alcohol can have, especially as it increasingly comes to control a person's life.

- [Message: "One True Voice" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/one-true-voice) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." As Jesus nears the end of the Sermon on the Mount, his words become more personally challenging. In this passage, he warns his listeners about two kinds of deception: those who deceive others and those who deceive themselves. We must take his warning seriously and consider what it looks like to know Jesus as king.
- [Message: "Pleasures Forevermore" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/pleasures-forevermore) - A message from the series "Songs of the Soul." Is God a cosmic killjoy, as some claim? Is he against pleasure, as some claim? Psalm 16 answers these questions with an emphatic no. Where then are joy and pleasure to be found?
- [Message: "Wisdom Feast" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/wisdom-feast) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Did you know that we’ve been invited to a party—to a feast, as a matter of fact? Wisdom prepares a feast and invites us to it. But what is the nature of the feast? And how can we hear the invitation and respond to it?
- [Message: "A Sovereign, Just God Rules" from Steve Holmlund](https://pbc.org/messages/a-sovereign-just-god-rules) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." Proverbs is filled with instructions about how we can make wise choices in life. But in the middle of Solomon’s collection that runs from chapter 10 to 22:16, we find nine verses that remind us that all of this is done under the rule of a sovereign and just God.

- [Message: "A New Way To Live" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-new-way-to-live) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." To introduce our series on the most famous of Jesus' sermons, we will ask a few questions. What led up to these words? What was Jesus trying to say? How should we listen to him? We are going to discover that Jesus has a radical and beautiful invitation in store for us. Could these words open the door for us to find a new way to live?

- [Message: "The Narrow Gate" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/the-narrow-gate) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." This section signals the major intent of the entire sermon, as it is the call to response. This call is to make a distinction between religious wide gate, and to enter through the difficult narrow one.
- [Message: "Don't Get All Puffed Up" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/dont-get-all-puffed-up) - A message from the series "Recovery."
- [Message: "Astounding Possibilities" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/astounding-possibilities) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." What kind of place are you in? A hard place? A good place? Jesus tells us that the kingdom of heaven—that is, God’s healing, loving rule—has drawn near, which creates astounding possibilities no matter the place you find yourself in.
- [Message: "The Not-So-Secret Ingredient" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-not-so-secret-ingredient) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." If followers of Jesus live in the kingdom of the heavens, what does that mean about their involvement in the kingdom of earth? Before Jesus gets into his description of what life looks like when you follow him, he answers this question. His suggestion is freeing and practical. The unlikely group of his followers are the symbol of the kingdom to the world around them. When they live their lives out loud, the world is changed as a result.
- [Message: "Deep Goodness" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/deep-goodness) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus contrasts a deeds-based righteousness (that of the scribes and Pharisees) with a heart-based righteousness (righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees). The righteousness that Jesus wants—and creates—for us is a deep goodness. How do we experience this?
- [Message: "A World Without Anger" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/a-world-without-anger) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." In the first of six similar statements, Jesus illustrates how living in the kingdom of the heavens results in a transformed heart rather than simply changed behavior. He begins with the issue of anger, explaining its deeper roots and suggesting a path forward. His words give us a roadmap for living as kingdom-dwellers and dealing with our anger and that of others.
- [Message: "Ask, and It Will Be Given" from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/ask-and-it-will-be-given) - A message from the series "Women."
- [Message: "Intense Desire" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/intense-desire) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." What does Jesus mean when he says that “everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart”? And what sort of approach should we take to counteract temptation?
- [Message: "Holy Stage" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/holy-stage) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." It’s no secret that we live in an individualistic culture in which the needs of the self take priority over other needs. What’s it like to be married in such a culture, and how can we grow in our marriages in such a culture? In Matthew 5 and Matthew 19, Jesus comes to our aid.
- [Message: "Inspiration of the Bible - Class 2" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/inspiration-of-the-bible-class-2) - A message from the series "Inspiration of the Bible." Class 2 of the Inspiration of the Bible Class which is 3rd in a series of Disciple Foundry classes.
- [Message: "The Heart of God" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-heart-of-god) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." This is the final of six topics addressed by Jesus on what life in the kingdom of the heavens looks like. Having dealt with anger, lust, sex, truth, and revenge he gets to the heart of it all: love. As if Jesus' earlier suggestions weren't hard enough, this command seems completely impossible. But in his exhortation to be like our Father, Jesus shows us the key to living a life of fulfillment in the kingdom of heaven.
- [Message: "Truth Tellers" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/truth-tellers) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." In the fourth of Jesus's comments on how living in the kingdom of the heavens fulfills the Old Testament Law, he addresses the simple matter of truth. He challenges the practices of the first century that people used to hide from the truth. And he gives a simple instruction to live as truth tellers. As we hear his words, we'll consider the ways we try to hide the truth. And we'll be invited to live in the freedom of telling the truth.
- [Message: "Grace Givers" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/grace-givers) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." How do you respond when you feel attacked? Our natural tendency is to defend ourselves or attack back, but Jesus calls something more compelling: grace. Grace is at the center of the gospel, and Jesus invites us to keep it at the center of our lives as well.
- [Message: "Ask For What You Want" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/ask-for-what-you-want) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." In these verses, Jesus gives us a simple yet profound way to interact with God. In doing so, he helps to reform our view of God. Is God stingy? Does he withhold good things? Or is he a generous giver? Jesus concludes by broadening the discussion to the way we relate to each other through the famous Golden Rule.
- [Message: "The Prayer of The Faith" from Bruce Maez](https://pbc.org/messages/the-prayer-of-the-faith) - A message from the series "Recovery." Step Closer - Healing Service
- [Message: "God Will See" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/god-will-see) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." Most of us eventually learn from experience that living for the praise of others is full of traps. How do we escape the traps? If we’re not to live for the praise of others, what are we to live for?
- [Message: "A Necessary Prayer" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/a-necessary-prayer) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." What do we need? Who knows what we need? Do you think you know what you need? What does Jesus have to say about what we need?
- [Message: "Judging Others " from Terri Vines](https://pbc.org/messages/judging-others) - A message from the series "Women." Lesson 13
- [Message: "Worship God with Your Body" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/worship-god-with-your-body) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." For the last three weeks, we've seen Jesus address issues of worship. He has talked about giving in secret and praying in secret. In our passage this morning, he discusses how to fast. This could be a new topic for many of us, but perhaps there are things we can learn about worshipping God as whole people. Jesus will teach what it means not just to worship with our souls, but how we can worship God with our bodies.
- [Message: "Treasures In Heaven" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/treasures-in-heaven) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." Jesus instructs us to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven rather than treasures on earth. What are treasures on earth? What are treasures in heaven? How can we go about laying up treasures in heaven?
- [Message: "God's Got This" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-got-this) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." Who among us, because God seems so hands off, hasn’t tried to impose our will on the world? Jesus shows us some of the ways in which we attempt to impose our will on the world while at the same time showing us a better way.

- [Message: "Seek First" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/seek-first) - A message from the series "Sermon on the Mount." Anxiety is on the rise in our country and particularly in our part of the country. Jesus tells us multiple times to not be anxious. But it looks as if he doesn’t think we can simply hear those words and follow them, because he surrounds them with so many other words that form questions and other instructions.

- [Message: "Suffering and God" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/suffering-and-god) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." Believers and unbelievers alike often struggle to understand how a good and all-powerful God who is supposed to love them would allow suffering and pain in their lives. Pastor Jeff Louie discusses that even though we do have an all-powerful God, there are two major factors that contribute to the existence of suffering in our world: Satan and people with free will. Jeff concludes with helping us consider possible reasons we may be experiencing duress in our lives and reminds us of the cross as the ultimate expression of God's love.
- [Message: "Do Not Be Anxious " from Rolana Smith](https://pbc.org/messages/do-not-be-anxious) - A message from the series "Women."
- [Message: "Suffering and Satan" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/suffering-and-satan) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." Pastor Jeff Louie discusses suffering related to an attack by Satan. Jeff explains how the main goal of any satanic attack is an attack on our faith and encourages us to consider whether we attribute suffering in our lives to Satan too often or possibly not enough?
- [Message: "The Human Experience-Suffering" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/the-human-experience-suffering) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." In my years of pastoring one of the most common questions people have come to ask is, "Why am I suffering?". Because oftentimes believers have this concept that if they do everything right in God he will make their path straight and they would not experience extreme duress. Pastor Jeff Louie points us to Genesis 3 for wisdom on why suffering is part of every person's story.

When dating or considering marriage, if we want to make wise decisions, the Bible points us to specific things we should do. Pastor Jeff Louie points us to 1 Corinthians Chapter 7 and the Book of Proverbs for guidance.
- [Message: "Relationships: Can I Make a Mistake?" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/relationships-can-i-make-a-mistake-finding-gods-will) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." Are mistakes always something to try to avoid at all costs? What about in relationships or even marriage? How does God want us to approach big decisions where a mistake could have long-lasting consequences? Pastor Jeff Louie points us to relationships in scripture that reflect God's authority over even our biggest mistakes.
- [Message: "Relationships: Values, Decisions, Arguments & Change" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/relationships-values-decisions-arguments-change-finding-gods-will) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." Usually, when you first meet someone they put their best foot forward and you get to see their really good side. When you are starting to get more serious in a relationship though, it's important to start asking another layer of questions that might be uncomfortable. Pastor Jeff Louie outlines four areas all couples need to explore and talk about when they are considering a possible long term future together.
- [Message: "Choose Wisely - Finding God's Will" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/choose-wisely-finding-gods-will) - A message from the series "Faith In Real Life - Mini Sermons." Often as believers, we don't want to make the wrong decisions in our life because we feel like if we make the wrong decision perhaps God will not bless us fully. We often don't recognize the authority and wisdom God has given us over the choices in our life. PBC's Pastor of Equipping, Jeff Louie, points us to Genesis Chapter 2 to help broaden our understanding of what it means to have the freedom to make our own decisions and still be under God's authority.

- [Message: "Remember Your Calling" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/remember-your-calling) - A message from the series "Wake Up."

- [Message: "Here For a Reason" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/here-for-a-reason) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Do you too have the sense that you’re supposed to be here—that you’re here for a reason? If so, Revelation 11 confirms your suspicions.

If we recognize it as what we've always wanted, we can thirst for God and keep our faith in him.
- [Message: "Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/jesus-predicts-peters-denial) - A message from the series "Step Closer - Gospel of John."

- [Message: "Questions without Answers" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/questions-without-answers) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers." One of the top barriers preventing us from talking about Jesus is the fear that we won't have answers to difficult questions. To explore this topic, we'll look at how Jesus interacted with a crowd who asked him a ton of difficult questions. We'll see how Jesus wasn't afraid of questions without answers. Peter will show us how faith can develop even when things are confusing.
- [Message: "Two Different Dinners" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/two-different-dinners) - A message from the series "Wake Up." As we near the end of the book of Revelation, we arrive at one of the final climactic scenes. Jesus Christ returns to earth. His return is pictured as a wedding, with an invitation to celebrate at the feast. But there is another dinner in view as well. Not everyone celebrates the arrival of Jesus. As we consider the return of Jesus to earth, we will reflect on ways to reorient our lives to anticipate his return.
- [Message: "No Urgency" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/no-urgency) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers." At times, many Christians feel a lack of urgency about sharing the gospel--a lack of urgency about telling people about Jesus. There doesn't seem to be any rush. Eternity seems far off, while today appears bright and sunny. Why do we sometimes feel this way? Why don't we feel greater urgency about sharing the Good News? Hopefully, as we look into the parable of the Good Samaritan, God will bring some factors to light that may be involved.

- [Message: "The Ghost Town of Evil" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-ghost-town-of-evil) - A message from the series "Wake Up." In the book of Revelation, we've seen God's judgment against the evil in this world. Chapter 18 portrays a vivid image of Babylon, the great symbolic empire of evil, being judged once and for all for her sins. The city which once ruled the world ends up emptied of all life. For readers in the first century, this vision gave them a new perspective on the Roman empire. For us, how does it change the way we live in the midst of the empires of our day?

- [Message: "The Prostitute and the Beast" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/the-prostitute-and-the-beast) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Earthly money and earthly power have their proper place, but often they overreach: money becomes a prostitute and power becomes a beast. Revelation 17 helps us to have a proper posture toward both money and power, showing us that there are greater riches and a greater power.

- [Message: "Surprised and Scared" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/surprised-and-scared) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers." On Easter morning, we follow the path of three women going to the tomb of Jesus to honor his death. They each come with their own stories. Each is looking for something. All of them discover an unexpected message and an impossible mission. They end up surprised and scared. Will their story be our story? What will happen next for them and for us?

- [Message: "A Barrier to Evangelism: Politics" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/a-barrier-to-evangelism-politics) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers."

- [Message: "Too Awkward?" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/bridges-and-barriers) - A message from the series "Bridges and Barriers." Our own fears are often the biggest barriers we face in sharing our faith, which is understandable, we don't want to feel rejected or create an awkward situation. However, when we realize what's at stake, the benefit outweighs the fear. This week, we'll take a look at John chapter 4 where we'll see Jesus not only break through social and cultural barriers, but also see his willingness to step into the uncomfortable.

- [Message: "Finding the Path" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/finding-the-path) - A message from the series "SENT: Living the Mission of the Church." Having settled the question of the Gentiles at the Jerusalem Council, Paul formulates a plan to revisit the churches planted on his first journey and embarks on what will be called the Second Missionary Journey. But as the trip begins, he faces the questions about who to take, how to prepare, and where to go. Watching him make those decisions helps us as we try to discern how God is sending us in our lives.
- [Message: "Kingdom First" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/kingdom-first) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Revelation 13 has inspired wild theories about things to come. Who is the beast? What is the meaning of the number 666? What is the mark of the beast? Such theories aside, the chapter has much to teach us about endurance and faith, especially in the context of our involvement with human government.

As the vision of Revelation continues, we witness the seven trumpets of judgment. God allows the consequences of sin to unleashed upon the earth, resulting in frustration, pain, and death. But through it all, the glory of God is found in his mercy, his love, and his ultimate purpose. Even his judgment is part of his effort to restore creation to the fullness of life intended all along.

- [Message: "Suffering Servants" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/suffering-servants) - A message from the series "Wake Up." How do you feel about being a servant? The Scriptures declare those of us who believe in Jesus to be servants of God. How do you feel about being a servant of God? Revelation 7 has much to say about what it means to be a servant of God.

The Christmas season brings with it a million different things that need to be done, but sometimes all of this “doing” gets in the way of what is really important — being with the One who came to be with us. The story of Mary and Martha gives us a much-needed reminder of the value of sitting at Jesus’ feet as his disciples.

After entering the heavenly throne room in chapter 4, we witness the dramatic entrance of the Lion of Judah. After a moment when it seems no one will be able to restore God's rule over his creation, Jesus appears. He is the only one worthy to redeem what has been broken. As that realization sinks in, the praise begins. And grows. And grows.
- [Message: "The Center of Power" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-center-of-power) - A message from the series "Wake Up." After the letters to the seven churches, the book of Revelation transitions into the rest of the prophetic visions John received. This begins when the prophet is invited into the center of cosmic power: the throne room of God. We'll follow John as he visits, look around, and listen to all that goes on in this remarkable room.

- [Message: "Compromised Identity" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/compromised-identity) - A message from the series "Wake Up." The third letter in Revelation to the church at Pergamum contains mixed conclusions. They had persisted in faith, but allowed elements of their culture to creep into their practice. As we learn to follow Jesus in Silicon Valley, our goal is to find that line between different elements of our culture. What parts can we participate in and celebrate? What parts lead to a compromised identity?
- [Message: "Crown of Life" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/crown-of-life) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Human incapacity to know the future is the cause for untold human anxiety. Jesus, on the other hand, knows the future. In Revelation 2:8-11, he tells members of the church in Smyrna what’s going to happen to them and what they should do about it. How can Jesus’ knowledge of the future, even our future, help us?

Paul has dealt with lofty themes for most of the book of Philippians: unity, persevering for the Gospel, and the surpassing value of knowing Christ. In this section, he turns to address a critical and potentially divisive issue in the Philippian church. He encourages them to face their issues directly and gives practical guidance on how to do that as followers of Jesus.

- [Message: "Love" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/95-love) - A message from the series "The Fruit of the Spirit." Love is the first and most foundational of the Fruit of the Spirit. We must understand -- and begin to embody -- this fruit before moving on to the rest. First Corinthians 13 provides a beautiful and robust description of love that shapes our understanding of this formational virtue.
- [Message: "The Secret to Contentment" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-secret-to-contentment) - A message from the series "Tenacious Together."

- [Message: "Joy" from Jacob Gray](https://pbc.org/messages/joy) - A message from the series "The Fruit of the Spirit." What is the difference between joy and happiness? Sometimes they feel like the same thing, but life teaches us that they are not. Happiness can be stolen from us in an instant, but joy can be maintained in -- and even sustained by -- times of trial and hardship. How can this be? This message explores that challenging question by pointing us to the glorious truth of the gospel.
- [Message: "Wisdom Cries Out" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/wisdom-cries-out) - A message from the series "Choose Wisely." If you have to live with your mind your whole life, what will you do with it? What will you expose it to? What will you fix it on, if you fix it on anything? This summer, we’re going to study the book of Proverbs. If we fix our minds on the book of Proverbs, it will help us live with our minds in a life-enhancing way.
- [Message: "Peace" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/peace) - A message from the series "The Fruit of the Spirit." Peace is notoriously hard to find. And yet we know that God created us to experience peace on a number of planes: peace with ourselves, peace with others, and peace with God. This message will explore the obstacles that prevent us from finding peace and point us towards the solution that Jesus has made possible.

Patience does not come easily for many of us living in the Silicon Valley, where lives tend to be geared towards efficiency and dominated by stress. By looking at positive and negative examples of patience in the Bible, we can learn to grow in patience with God and others.

We all accept with gratitude when following God leads to a present deliverance or success. But what happens when following God leads to the opposite experience? The themes of falling and broken dreams intersect with righteousness and hope in Proverbs 24:15-20. Following Christ is more than doing, as it seeks a depth of heart change and eternal hopefulness.

Sometimes it is painful to confront the reality of the sin in our lives. But our sin does not get the last word. Through the Spirit and the spiritual disciplines, we can intentionally grow in intimacy in with Jesus.

- [Message: "Session #1 - Introductory Questions" from Jeff Louie](https://pbc.org/messages/session-1-introductory-questions) - A message from the series "Praxis - Interpreting the Revelation."

- [Message: "Spirit-empowered Growth" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/spirit-empowered-growth) - A message from the series "Growing in Christ."

- [Message: "Abandoned Love" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/abandoned-love) - A message from the series "Wake Up." Revelation includes seven letters from Jesus to the seven churches. In the first letter, Jesus applauds much of their effort​ but offers a sharp criticism. They are in danger of losing their very essence of a church because they have abandoned love. Is that true for us? Have we abandoned love?
- [Message: "Prayer" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/prayer) - A message from the series "Growing in Christ."
- [Message: "Fasting" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/fasting) - A message from the series "Growing in Christ."

- [Message: "Silence and Solitude" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/silence-and-solitude) - A message from the series "Growing in Christ."

- [Message: "Simplicity" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/simplicity) - A message from the series "Growing in Christ."

The spiritual discipline of simplicity is the intentional practice of cutting out the clutter from our lives so that we can focus on the one thing that is truly necessary -- knowing Jesus and making him known.
- [Message: "New Heart" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/new-heart) - A message from the series "Knowing the God of Justice and Hope: The Book of Ezekiel." The prophet Ezekiel preached a lot and got no results, but he’s given a decidedly different message to preach in Ezekiel 36, one that contains hope that his countrymen will at last be responsive to the Lord. Change—positive change in the lives of human beings—is possible, more than possible. How does it come about?

- [Message: "Bones of Hope" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/bones-of-hope) - A message from the series "Knowing the God of Justice and Hope: The Book of Ezekiel." Ezekiel sees a devastating image: a valley full of very many very dry bones. Because of our televisions, computers, and phones, we are exposed to a stream of images of devastation. God calls Ezekiel to respond in a particular way to what he sees. How is he calling us?
- [Message: "The Alpha and the Omega" from Corrie Gustafson](https://pbc.org/messages/the-alpha-and-the-omega) - A message from the series "The Great I AM."
- [Message: "Learning to be Leaders" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/learning-to-be-leaders) - A message from the series "Between Two Worlds: 1 Peter."

- [Message: "Coming Together As One" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/coming-together-as-one) - A message from the series "Knowing the God of Justice and Hope: The Book of Ezekiel." After the powerful imagery in the previous section of the dry bones coming to life, God continues by describing how he will re-unite the two rival factions of God's people into one nation. As we understand this promise and its fulfillment in the person of Jesus, we can experience the kind of unity with others that only God can create.
- [Message: "Listening and Doing" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/listening-and-doing) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."
- [Message: "Facing the Prowling Lion" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/facing-the-prowling-lion) - A message from the series "Between Two Worlds: 1 Peter." We have a spiritual enemy who is real, powerful, and wants to destroy us. But we have a God who is stronger. Stand firm in his grace.
- [Message: "Visions of Glory" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/visions-of-glory) - A message from the series "Knowing the God of Justice and Hope: The Book of Ezekiel." If you know something significant is going to happen in the future, that should affect how you think and act in the present, shouldn’t it? As followers of Jesus Christ, we together will one day be the bride at “the marriage supper of the Lamb.” How then should we think and act in light of that day?
- [Message: "Favoritism Forbidden" from Rob Schulze](https://pbc.org/messages/favoritism-forbidden) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."
- [Message: "Overflowing" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/overflowing) - A message from the series "Knowing the God of Justice and Hope: The Book of Ezekiel." In our last message from Ezekiel, we see a surprising vision of water coming out of the new temple God will bring about. This water doesn't behave the way normal water does. As we hear of this vision, we will think again about how different life is in the kingdom of God. Where this world has limits and pain, the kingdom of God is one of abundance and healing.
- [Message: "The Royal Law" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/the-royal-law) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."
- [Message: "The Forever King is Born" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/the-forever-king-is-born) - A message from the series "Main Service." As we encounter the Christmas story this morning, we'll reflect on the fear and confusion that often accompanies God's intervention in the world. We are invited to not be afraid and to trust even when we don't understand. When we do that, we can have hope that God will act and that his actions will set things right.
- [Message: "Faith Without Works" from Eric Soderberg](https://pbc.org/messages/faith-without-works) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."

- [Message: "How Did I Get Here?" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/how-did-i-get-here) - A message from the series "Judges: Cycles of Sin and Grace." The path away from God often follows a predictable pattern of decline. Be understanding this pattern, we can stop the decline before it ends in disaster.
- [Message: "Expository Preaching" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/expository-preaching) - A message from the series "PBC DNA: Why We Do What We Do." Why do we preach the way we do at PBC? It has to do, first of all, with the way the Scriptures were given to us: Stories, poems, and letters breathed out by God so that we may know and follow him.
- [Message: "The Tongue P. 1" from Steve Zeisler](https://pbc.org/messages/the-tongue-p-1) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."
- [Message: "The Downward Spiral" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/the-downward-spiral) - A message from the series "Judges: Cycles of Sin and Grace." Left to ourselves, our lives tend to spiral out of control and away from God. But through Jesus, we have been given a way to break the spiral and experience God's blessing.
- [Message: "Acceptance & Surrender" from Matt Podoll](https://pbc.org/messages/acceptance-surrender) - A message from the series "Heart of Recovery VII."
- [Message: "Our Body Life" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/our-body-life) - A message from the series "PBC DNA: Why We Do What We Do." In our second message on PBC DNA, we look at a passage in Ephesians that has been critical to understanding of church. These verses tell us who we are, what we do, how we do it and what the result is. They have shaped us into a body, individually contributing to the whole as we grow into the maturity of knowing Jesus better.
- [Message: "Taming the Tongue" from Andy Burnham](https://pbc.org/messages/taming-the-tongue) - A message from the series "Step Closer-James Series."
- [Message: "God's Delivering Hand" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/gods-delivering-hand) - A message from the series "Judges: Cycles of Sin and Grace." When the people of Israel cried out to God for help, he raised up a deliverer named Othniel. God has responded to our cries for help by raising up another deliverer. His name is Jesus.

We'll look at several biblical principles that shape our understanding of biblical leadership as a whole and see how those help to form our formal church leadership structure as well. Ultimately, we'll see how all our leadership enables us to become followers of Jesus.

- [Message: "Just For Today" from Bruce Maez](https://pbc.org/messages/just-for-today) - A message from the series "Heart of Recovery VII."
- [Message: "Unexpected Twists at the Table" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/unexpected-twists-at-the-table) - A message from the series "The Final Hours." We begin a new series focusing on the last 18 hours of Jesus' life by looking at the last meal that he shared with his disciples.

- [Message: "Jesus on Trial" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/jesus-on-trial) - A message from the series "The Final Hours." When Jesus is brought to trial before the Jewish leaders, they unjustly conclude that he deserves to die.

- [Message: "Going for Glory" from Dan Westman](https://pbc.org/messages/going-for-glory) - A message from the series "Judges: Cycles of Sin and Grace." Sometimes we feel like God is lucky to have us. In reality, God doesn't even need us, but he chooses to use us so that we can give glory to him.

- [Message: "Broken Crayons" from Paco Lopez](https://pbc.org/messages/broken-crayons) - A message from the series "The Final Hours."

Barabbas, who was going to be put to death, is set free and Jesus takes his place on the cross. What does Barabbas do with his freedom and what do we do with ours?

- [Message: "Love So Amazing" from Scott Grant](https://pbc.org/messages/love-so-amazing) - A message from the series "The Final Hours."

The crucifixion narrative in Matthew is pregnant with clues that more is going on than meets the eye, and if we pay attention to those clues, they will lead us to love incomprehensible.

- [Message: "Dealing With Death" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/dealing-with-death) - A message from the series "The Final Hours." The unthinkable has happened. Jesus is dead. The one who performed miracles and spoke words of life has succumbed to death. In three scenes we see different reactions to the death of Jesus. We'll see what two powerful men did and how two women responded. As we do, we'll ask questions about our own response to pain and suffering. How do we deal with death?

In the days of the judges, the people of Israel struggled with rebellion, apathy, and doubt. Sometimes we struggle with the same things. How does God respond? Not like we might expect...
- [Message: "Stand As One" from Paul Taylor](https://pbc.org/messages/stand-as-one) - A message from the series "Tenacious Together." As we continue in Philippians, we see the apostle Paul articulating the major theme of the book. He desires to see this young church grow in their faithfulness to the cause of the Gospel and their unity with each other.
