Free Admission: A Life Like This

Our ideas of life have grown small and stiff and cold; then here comes this radical preacher setting the countryside on fire with his words and deeds. “Turn around! Change your direction! Just nearby here is a life full of blessing.” And in his most famous speech Jesus describes life like we had never imagined it, life in a different spot and of a different quality, life deeper and richer, life in the kingdom of the heavens. Come along the narrow pathway and enjoy true life like this.

(P.S. I so enjoyed all the sermons in our Kings series shared by the four teachers of the Bible-Search Spirit-Seeking Sabbath School class last month. If you missed any of the messages, I encourage you to visit our sermon archive and listen or watch what you missed. You will be blessed! ---Pastor Kessia Reyne)

Hey hey, PVC fam!

We are jumping into a brand new sermon series this week and I could not be more excited—we are diving into the Sermon on the Mount, Christ's most famous sermon and the one that shows us exactly what kingdom living looks like. I know it is going to edify and challenge us in the very best ways. Buckle up!

Click one of the buttons below to listen ahead on Spotify or YouTube, or feel free to make your own playlist!

This Sabbath we'll be singing: My Hope is Built (The Solid Rock), Who You Say I Am, Build My Life, Abide, and Firm Foundation.

At the close of Matthew 7, Jesus asks us a simple but searching question—will we hear His words and build our lives around them? As people who have decided to build our house upon the Rock, the answer is yes. A thousand times yes. Come ready to declare it this Sabbath, PVC!

With love,
Hannah, Your Minister of Music    

This week's giving emphasis is Church Ministries Budget.

As of the end of July, we've received about 80% of what we had hoped to receive by this point in the year for our Church Ministries Budget. We're incredibly grateful for the many, many families who faithfully support this fund month after month. Your generosity has allowed ministry to continue strong throughout the year.

As we head into an active fall season, we simply want to encourage everyone to keep the Church Ministries Budget in mind as part of your regular giving. Every gift helps us continue investing in the local ministry opportunities God places in front of us.

Thank you for your partnership, your faithfulness, and your commitment to the mission of PVC.
