Sermon Series Starting This Sunday (10/21)

So They Can Hear...

As a part of our So They Can Hear Global Ministry Conference, this sermon series will focus on how we can share the good news of Jesus more effectively with those who are different from us, whether they be our neighbors or people on the other side of the world. We want to do this because in the book of Romans Paul reminds us how everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved (Rom 10:13). But then he goes on to ask a few questions:
 
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? 
And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?
And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
 
These questions are not just referring to people with careers in global ministry. They refer to all of us. To follow Jesus is to be sent. We are all sent ones. Jesus said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matt 4:19). In the Great Commission Jesus commanded every disciple to go and make more disciples. So, as sent ones, how can we communicate the good news of Jesus in ways that other people will be more likely to hear and receive? We do this through something called contextualization. In contextualization we do not change or update the good news for new and modern hearers. Instead, we change the order with which we unravel it. Contextualization means unraveling the Gospel in different ways based on the context of the person or people that we seek to reach. And we do this so that person or those people will be more likely to hear and receive the good news. 

Sermon Series Resumes November 4

Exodus: Freed To Be His

The Old Testament book of Exodus is jam packed with extraordinary events describing how God rescued and redeemed the Israelites for Himself out of their oppressive slavery in Egypt. He freed them from slavery and gave them His good law in order to bless them and set them apart as His people. But this book is more than just ancient history. Their story is our story. Their rescue was meant to serve as a picture of how God would one day rescue us in an even more dramatic and revolutionary way through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Join us we look to the book of Exodus to be reminded of our identity as God's redeemed and set-apart people today.

Greetings from the Senior Pastor

I hope that when you come to PCC you get an understanding that Jesus and the cross is a whole lot more than just an entry level truth. I hope that you might come and hang around for a while and make sure you know who Jesus is and get to decide whether or not you like him. It’s got to begin there. “Do I even like him? Do I want to get to know him? What does the Bible tell me about him that makes him an interesting person, a loving person – someone that I want to know as a friend?” And then for you to not only find him interesting and engaging and attractive but to see that he is making a difference in the lives of other people. I hope that you would come and hang around and make some friendships here and find that Jesus is the one who is restoring lives. His work on the cross provides forgiveness and inner transformation.
​
Jesus is the one who is taking people whose lives are tragically and very evidently broken and yet he has given them hope to go on. Jesus is the one who has taken people whose lives are quite successful but have realized how that isn't enough and they want to be part of a bigger story. Jesus is making himself their treasure and pleasure too. And after you get to hear who he is and see what he is doing, I hope you’ll come to a point of deciding that you want that for your life and want Jesus to be your treasure and pleasure - that you would want to be caught up in the story that God is telling throughout all of history so that you, like we, would become mobilized to get that story, both verbally and in deed, out to the whole world.
