    Extreme Makeover – God Edition TCF Sermon September 9, 2007 Change is big business on TV these days. TV’s love affair with reality shows has led to many TV programs that have to do with change.

    Waking the Dead, part 2. Dave points out that without a risen Christ the universe doesn’t make sense; that without a risen Christ, evil wins; and without a risen Christ, we are left with insufficient means to account for the reality and depth of the huma

    Jesus' followers had to very carefully examine the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, even when it was right before their faces, to believe. In the same way, you owe it to yourself to examine the evidence & come to the same conclusion they did!

If there’s any lesson the congregation of Risen King may have learned over the past three months or so is just how vulnerable we human being are to tragedies that may overtake us very suddenly. That the world is a dangerous place is something that most of being to ...read more

    Empathic Compassion: Experiencing Your Pain In My Heart

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 18, 2021
     | 2,103 views

    When I think of Jesus I think of empathy and compassion; they are embedded Jesus' salvific mission. Too often clergy and Christians take a propositional approach to the Gospel. Loving and caring for people according to the example Jesus set requires us to demonstrate empathy and compassion.

    I carefully watched him as he walked down the hall; he was dressed in a long flowing white coat. His head hung unpersuasively from his shoulders. The doctor's demeanor suggested he was intensely contemplating what he would say to us, or he was envisioning another appointment. Halfway down ...read more

    When we encounter God’s grace, it changes everything because we die to our old way of live, are introduced to a new way of life, and find a new master.

    In his book "What’s So Amazing About Grace," Christian author Philip Yancey writes about a friend who invited him out for a cup of coffee one night (Yancey 179-80). This friend, it turns out, is contemplating leaving his wife after 15 years of marriage because he’s found someone younger and ...read more

    This morning, as we take a look at Psalm 145, we will see that worship is designed to radically impact our very lives.

    The Impact of Worship I’m thankful for the staff we have at PBC. Our church secretary, Barb, has really done a super job with our weekly bulletin, don’t you think?

    This passage is a call to pray with our bodies and our actions as well as with our hearts, minds, and mouths.

    There is an old Japanese saying that if a person makes one thousand folded paper cranes, then he/she will be made well. Lots of people believe that prayer works that way: If enough people pray enough prayers to God, then God is bound to grant their request. Prayer is a way of getting God to do what ...read more
