Follow the King

Open to the Spirit

New year. Same habits? Or new hearts?

Most of us don’t need another resolution—we need transformation. And real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from beholding Jesus and being changed by His Spirit—one degree at a time.

That’s why our theme for 2026 is OPEN. Open to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Open to His voice. Open to the kind of life-changing work only He can do—in us and among us.

What if church wasn’t just something we attended—but a place where we came ready to listen, pray, encourage, and respond as the Spirit leads?

What if the miraculous wasn’t something we only read about—but something we expected God to do in real lives, in real moments, together as a faith family?

This year, our prayer is simple: Ask expectantly. Listen attentively. Respond faithfully.

Come with open hearts. King Jesus is at work. 🔥🙏

The Tree of Calvary: Christmas Trees

Jesus was born—not only to die.
Jesus was born—so we could live the new life He offers, in the family He formed, and under His rule as King.

And this eternal life is found at the Tree of Calvary. 

The Tree of Israel: Christmas Trees

Jesus once cursed a fig tree—and it wasn’t because He was having a bad day. It was a living picture of a deeper story.

Throughout Scripture, Israel is described as God’s vine—planted, cared for, and called to bear fruit for the world. But when the vine failed, God didn’t abandon the story.

At Christmas, the promised Branch arrived—and that Branch grew into the True Vine.

And Jesus, the Vine, invites His followers to be branches—abiding in Him, allowing His life to flow to us, and producing fruit for others.

The message: Where we see a dead, cut-down stump, God sees new life. 🌱

The Tree of Life: Christmas Trees

Christmas isn’t just the story of a baby in a manger.
It’s the story of a God who refused to give up on Eden.

In Eden, we lost access to the Tree of Life.
In the temple, we only saw glimpses of it.
At the Cross, the true Tree of Life hung on a tree of death.

And in the New Creation, the Tree of Life stands at the center of the world Jesus will restore.

This message walks through the entire story—from Genesis to Revelation—to show how Christmas is God stepping into our exile to bring us home.

God Blessed Who?!?!

Ever considered how the story of Jacob and Esau points us toward Advent?

The older should have been chosen—but wasn’t.
The younger should have been rejected—but wasn’t.
The betrayed should have been bitter—but wasn’t.
The offended should have struck back—but instead embraced.

It’s the gospel in miniature: the God who blesses where we least expect it, the God who forgives what we cannot fix, and the God who reconciles what we’ve broken.

This is the story that leads us to Christmas.

The Choice is Yours

Some people talk as if there are two versions of following Jesus:
👉 Christians
👉 Disciples

But Jesus never separated the two. He simply offered a choice.

"Whoever wants to save their life..." or "Whoever wants to be My disciple—which will cost you your life."

The choice is yours.

Who is Jesus?

“Who do you say Jesus is?”

In Mark 8, Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah—the King. Not just a teacher. Not a mascot. Not a safety net. The One who conquers sin, death, and hell.

This week we looked at why that confession still changes everything— because when we see Jesus clearly as King, it reshapes how we live, how we love, and who we become.

Covenant Community

What does it really mean to belong to a church family? In Acts 2, we see a Spirit-filled community shaped by worship, growth, unity, service, and mission.

This message unpacks PCC’s Covenant Commitment—a call to depend on King Jesus and one another as we live for His Kingdom together.

Generational Faithfulness

Faith doesn’t grow by accident. It’s formed through hearts that listen, love, teach, and remember.

In this message, parents and families are challenged to see discipleship as a daily calling—not just a Sunday activity. When our homes reflect the love and presence of Jesus, the next generation learns what it truly means to follow Him.

Jesus is More Than Enough

Today we saw how even the numbers preach the gospel:

5 + 2 = 12 (Jesus feeds the 5,000 — Israel satisfied).

7 → 7 with 4,000 (Jesus feeds the Gentiles — the nations satisfied).

From Israel to the nations, King Jesus is more than enough to fill what we empty and meet every need. 🍞✝️

And just like the blind man who finally saw clearly, may we see Jesus for who He truly is — the Bread of Life for all people.
