Life Along The Jesus Way
John 14:6-14
Shawn Reese

Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the Father. I invite you to follow me on my way. I invite you to do life the way I do life, because the way I do life is truth and is life.” So, what can we expect if we choose to follow Jesus on his way? What can we expect along His way to the Father? Join us this Sunday as we explore Jesus’ initial words for what life looks like along his way.

Paying Attention to Jesus
Hebrews 2:1-4
Bernard Bell

It’s Labor Day weekend, the traditional end of summer and start of a new school year. But many students have been back in class for two weeks already. We hope that they are learning again how to pay attention in class. Perhaps their teachers have given a pep talk: “You must pay the most careful attention to what you hear else…” An exhortation to listen and a warning of the consequences for not doing so: “…else you’ll fail the test, your GPA will suffer, and you won’t get into your choice of school.” The preacher to the Hebrews does a similar thing. After presenting the excellence of the Son in whom God has spoken, he exhorts and warns: “We must pay most careful attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.” Throughout his sermon he urges us to pay attention to Jesus.

He Whom Angels Worship
Hebrews 1:5-14
Bernard Bell

God spoke in the past to Israel through the prophets, and God has spoken in these last days to us in the Son. On the Emmaus Road Jesus brought these two together, explaining “what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.” After his magnificent opening sentence, the author of Hebrews also brings them together, showing how seven OT texts point to Jesus. They reinforce his claim that Jesus has become far superior to the angels. Indeed, Jesus is worthy of worship by angels and by us.

Name Above All Names
Hebrews 1:2b-4
Bernard Bell

“What’s in a name?” said Juliet to Romeo. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But names do matter. We all bear names, and have preferences about how we want to be called. God puts his name on people. OT Israel bore God’s name. God gave the risen and ascended Jesus a name above all names. The people of the New Jerusalem will bear the name of God and the Lamb. What does it mean to bear God’s name?

God Has Spoken
Hebrews 1:1-2
Bernard Bell

We launch a new sermon series, on the Book of Hebrews, entitled Christ Before Us. In the past God spoke to Israel through the prophets, in words preserved as Israel’s Scriptures, what we know as the Old Testament. God has spoken again in his Son, who both fulfills and is better than those Scriptures. He became like us in our humanity, to offer his own self for our atonement, so that we might become like him. The book repeatedly places Jesus before us, urging us to look to Jesus, to see him, to consider him. It also shows how Jesus has gone before us, faithful to the end. He is our faithful forerunner, whom we are called to faithfully follow.

How the Church Functions
Ephesians 4:11-13
Jerry Tu

This week we conclude our 2-sermon series on how God intends for His church to function, as expressed in Paul’s letter to Ephesian church. Ephesians chapter 4 describes some foundational building blocks which contribute to a healthy and
vibrant church, and we will focus on a few of these: “Devotion
to God’s Word”, “Participating in God’s Work”, “Ministry of the Saints". While many of us are familiar with these PBCC Core Values, it is good to review them in the context of Ephesians 4. We hope to see you this Sunday.

Unity of the Spirit
Ephesians 4:1-6
Jerry Tu

In the fractured and polarized world of the last three years, one would think that the church ought to be a stabilizing and unifying force for society. However, we’ve seen that the church itself was just as divided and polarized as the rest of society, if not more so. We know that disunity is not God’s plan for His family; He desires His children to live in harmony in the bond of love. One of the strongest exhortations for unity in the church comes from Ephesians chapter 4, a familiar passage from which PBCC derives several of our core family values. In a short 2-sermon series, we’ll retrace the lessons Apostle Paul taught to the believers in Ephesus and learn how God intends for the church to live in unity and to function as a living body.

The Priority of Prayer
James 5:13-20
Steve Zeisler

The longing to be known and loved is universal, going back to the banishment of our first parents from Eden. But surely we live in an especially lonely time. Social media offers us innumerable opportunities for connection which have mostly resulted in deformed 'communities', and ‘friendships’ without content. The church, God’s plan for human belonging, is seen by many (too often with good reason) as unwelcoming and self-important. We turn to scripture for a better word. The final verses of James contain practical instruction on healthy church life - describing believers who pray with and for one another, are honest about sin and suffering, and sing praises from the heart.

Jeremiah: The Prophet and His Message
Jeremiah
John Hanneman

Jeremiah is not a book we usually turn to for our Bible reading even though one of the verses we quote and hear quoted often is Jer. 29.11. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” However, not only is Jeremiah filled with beautiful verse and amazing metaphors, but there is also much that we can learn from Jeremiah’s painful life and his hard message to the people of Judah. We will explore these two themes on Sunday.

The Substance of Christ
Colossians 2:16-23
Eugene Kwon

"No one," said Jesus, "puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins -- and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins." You don't have to be a winemaker to appreciate the wisdom of Christ's reminder: Just as new wine can burst old wineskins, so the Way of Christ was never meant to be bound by tradition. Yet, there is a place for the old as much as there is for the new -- both belong to Christ! Come join us this Sunday as we explore the right -- and wrong -- ways we often use tradition as travelers on the ever-new, ever-reforming, ever-reconstructing Way of Christ.

The Triumph of Christ
Colossians 2:6-8, 13-15
Eugene Kwon

It is often suggested that in order to win in the various arenas of life -- whether martial, social, or political -- we must be willing to play by the same rules as our competitors, to stoop down to their level, to get into the mud with them. Christ achieved total victory over His enemies in a wholly different way -- and only by His upside-down victory will the world be turned right-side-up. Come join us on Sunday as we look into Christ's Cross-shaped path to victory and rediscover our own triumph.

The Transformation of Christ
Colossians 2:6-12
Eugene Kwon

The Self-Love movement sweeping across the country and across social media has rightly taught us that loving others well begins with loving ourselves in a healthy way; but that message has also been twisted by some into a self-centered defensiveness that is unwilling to accept criticism – and certainly not a call to change. Join us on Sunday as we look into one of the most important promises God makes across the pages of Scripture -- the promise to change us from the inside-out -- and see why this is something worth celebrating.
