Episodios

  • Sleepy Trust - Psalm 127:1-2, Psalm 121:1-4

    22/06/2025 Duración: 31min

    This Sunday at PFC, we’re grateful to have Bryan Hoke with us. Bryan serves with the Brethren in Christ and provides support for pastors and churches in this region. He’ll be sharing a message about the gift of rest and Jesus’ invitation to trust Him in all areas of life. 

  • Jesus Shaped Concern - Matthew 6:25-34

    15/06/2025 Duración: 35min

    "Do not be anxious about your life." What a crazy thing for Jesus to say! How can I not be anxious about my life, my marriage, my kids, my job, my retirement, my car, my house...? For many people anxiety is an almost constant companion. What is Jesus talking about? When we look at the context of where this passage lands in the whole sermon, we can see that these words are actually a beautiful invitation from Christ to live life with God. 

  • Flourishing Families: Friendship

    12/06/2025 Duración: 41min
  • Locating Our Treasure - Matthew 6:19-24

    08/06/2025 Duración: 39min

    In this next part of Jesus' sermon, He addresses our stuff – our money and possessions. Yep, He goes there. This gets super challenging, especially for us as Americans who have so much! Jesus is going to challenge what we truly value, where our focus lies, and who or what we serving with our life? So, turn on the location settings of your treasure … and let’s go find it. Chances are we’ll find something else there too. See you this Sunday! 

  • When You Fast: Seeking God in Secret - Matthew 6:16-18

    01/06/2025 Duración: 30min

    Jesus teaches that fasting should be done in secret, not for show, as a way to humbly seek God and grow in dependence on Him. Historically, fasting was tied to repentance, seeking God’s help, and spiritual renewal—not performance or ritual. True fasting draws us closer to God through discipline, dependence, and devotion, clearing distractions so we can realign our hearts with His presence and purposes. 

  • Where Your Treasure Is ( The Lord's Prayer) - Matthew 6:9-15

    25/05/2025 Duración: 41min

    Recently PFC welcomed Dave Wiedis to share some insights from his new book The Spiritually Healthy Leader. In his teaching Dave Wiedis talked about the idea of "ruling passions". Every person has a ruling passion. This is part of God's good design. But our ruling passions can become idols when they are not focused on Christ. Using this framework, we will explore the power of the Lord's Prayer to recenter us on Jesus and his glory. 

  • Secret Spirituality - Matthew 6:1-8

    18/05/2025 Duración: 36min

    Jesus is taking us on a journey to understand and practice what it looks like to live in His upside-down Kingdom. This week we will be looking at both generosity and prayer. How was the culture of the time engaging these and how should we be doing so now?

  • A Better Way - Matthew 5:38-48

    11/05/2025 Duración: 38min

    Perhaps this is a silly question … but do you know some people that don’t like you? That have even hurt you, taken advantage of you, or humiliated you? We all have “enemies”. And this Sunday, Jesus is going to show us a better way to respond to these people. Instead of responding in kind to evil and escalating the situation, we respond - not passively or as doormats but as people who are ingenious in offering creative goodness and sacrificial love in action. We’ll end our time by praying for our enemies. 

  • The Spiritually Healthy Leader

    04/05/2025 Duración: 40min

    We're so excited to have David Wiedis with us at PFC today. Dave will be sharing insights from his brand new book, "The Spiritually Healthy Leader." Dave is the Founder and Executive Director of Serving Leaders Ministries, with decades of ministry experience and leadership. 

  • Oaths: The Transforming Power of Truth - Matthew 5:33-37

    27/04/2025 Duración: 29min

    This week, we’ll be exploring a third case study of inward-based righteousness: the power of our words.  We’ll look at the historical significance of oaths and how Jesus takes the law one step deeper. 

  • Spring Fever - 1 Corinthians 15:1-23

    20/04/2025 Duración: 35min

    The resurrection of Jesus gives us the hope and promise that the new creation is coming! Things won’t always be this way. Jesus physically died and physically came back to life and what God did 2,000 years ago, He will do for the whole world! Easter is a true taste of what’s to come! 

  • Crown Him or Kill Him - Matthew 20:17-21:17

    13/04/2025 Duración: 36min

    The "Triumphal Entry" was the public declaration that Jesus viewed himself as the Messiah, and the promised King of kings. He rode into Jerusalem accepting the title of "Son of David" and the shouts of praise, "Hosanna!" He then entered the temple and called it "My house." Jesus was forcing the people to either crown him or crucify him (and he knew which the religious leaders would choose). With Jesus, there is nothing in between. We must know him as King or do our best to get rid of him.

  • God's Image - Matthew 5:27-32

    06/04/2025 Duración: 38min

    In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tackles two uncomfortable topics. He addresses lust and divorce. In every culture, in every place, throughout all human history men have dehumanized women through lust and misuse of power. The example and teachings of Jesus draw us back to the Garden of Eden, back to God's creative design - male and female God created us in his own likeness and image. When we learn to see and treat one another as God's image, children of the same Father, and kingdom siblings, we live out the ethical vision of Jesus' upside down kingdom.

  • Angry Elves & Nacho Man - Matthew 5:21-26

    30/03/2025 Duración: 30min

    This week we are continuing to look at Jesus’ teaching in Mathew 5. As Pastor Dave shared last week, over the next few weeks we are going to be looking at examples of inward-based righteousness. The first example is anger. Anger is a valid emotion when something we care about isn’t the way it should be.  But there are proper and improper ways to express anger. Learning to express anger appropriately is critical to becoming more like Jesus. 

  • Dots, Squiggles, & a Better Way to Live - Matthew 5:17-20

    23/03/2025 Duración: 24min

    Get ready! Jesus is raising the bar for those who follow Him. But the good news is that He has done all the heavy lifting! What the first half of the Bible points forward to and the momentum it created, Jesus comes and fulfills. But He is calling us into deeper ways of right living that is marked by inside-out obedience. This Sunday we’ll dive into the very beginning of the main part of Jesus’ sermon on the mount as He sets the stage for 6 case studies to follow. 

  • Flavors & Colors - Matthew 5:13-16

    16/03/2025 Duración: 41min

    Did you know that God has flavors and colors that he wants to bring into this world through you? Join us this Sunday as we unpack what Jesus meant by these metaphors of salt and light as we continue learning about the ‘Upside Down Kingdom.’ 

  • Persecuted and Glad - Matthew 5:10-12

    09/03/2025 Duración: 30min

    Jesus wraps up the 9 Beatitudes with two corresponding blessings given to those who are persecuted, insulted, and spoken of poorly because of righteousness. Throughout church history God has used persecution to strengthen the Church and spread the gospel around the world. The Lord is doing the same today. 

  • PeaceMaking - Matthew 5:9

    02/03/2025 Duración: 45min

    Biblical peace is not the absence of conflict, but it's also not the seeking of conflict. Peace in the Scriptures is about wholeness and harmony. The compound word used by Jesus in Matthew 5:9 is an active word. Peace is made. We are called to join in Jesus' work of making peace. There are many forms of counterfeit peace, Jesus has something better for us to participate in. 

  • Heaven is Listening. Are We Asking? Matthew 7:7

    23/02/2025 Duración: 53min

    In the middle of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, he tells us that if we ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and experience open doors from heaven. How are our lives responding to that invitation? Let’s explore what it looks like to pursue God and all that he wants to offer us.  

  • What's Inside the Real You? - Matthew 5:8

    16/02/2025 Duración: 33min

    What protects a life from becoming a sham? What provides a life with clearer vision of God? Jesus provides instruction in the 6th beatitude that’s on tap for us this Sunday. Jesus is forming people whose behavior matches their beliefs. People whose life’s actions are synced with pure motivations … are in a good place!
