Have You Heard?

In this message from Pastor Thomas from Acts 8, we get to see how God is at work in the details of our lives, helping us experience the love of Jesus and extend the offer for others to join us in the same. 

Four Ways God Guides Our Lives

Each of us interacts with the arts innumerable times each day. We listen to music as we walk to class. We read books and blogs. We remember playing the recorder for a few weeks in elementary school. We have grown all too familiar with the aroma of spray paint in the Free Expression Tunnel. We see ads along the sidebar of our Facebook feed, each one designed to capture our attention, and then (hopefully, for the advertiser) compels us to spend some money based on that interaction with an artistically designed pitch for toothpaste, or a new pair of shoes, or a great deal on an oil change. What does it mean to think Christianly about the arts?

The Kingdom and The Arts

Four Marks Of A Christian

In this message from Acts 2:42-47, Pastor Thomas breaks down what it means to live in a community that belongs to Jesus.

Jesus Promises The Spirit

In this message from John 15:1–11, Pastor Thomas breaks down a metaphor Jesus used to describe his relationship with his followers. Jesus said that he was like a vine, and his followers were like branches, connected to the vine as their very source of life. This powerful picture has big implications for us today as we navigate the wide and uncharted territories of connectedness, social media, relationships, and a pursuit of God. 

Connected: An Introduction

In this final message from our miniseries from the gospel of Mark, Pastor Thomas shows us how the resurrection of Jesus is the climactic event of all of history, and that event stands as the only thing that can give true meaning to our lives today.

From Death to Life

"Who do you say that I am?" This simple question posed by Jesus has major implications for our lives and our stories today. Pastor Thomas breaks it down in this week's message

The Question :: Mark 8:27–38

To kick off the semester, PCM is spending three weeks exploring who Jesus is, and why the good news about him is such a big deal. In this first message, Pastor Thomas shows us how Jesus got his start, and how that matters for the highs and lows that come with change. 

The Beginning :: Mark 1:1–14

In this final message from the book of Romans, Pastor Thomas shows us how the church is God's "Plan A" for reaching the world.
