Marriage is a picture, but it is not the destination. It is meant to shape our hearts for our ultimate hope: eternal life with God. Revelation 21 reminds us that God's future is renewal, not replacement. He is not abandoning what He made. He is restoring it. The way we live and love now reveals where our hope truly is. Sermon by Jake Peterson 02.03.2026

When you look in a mirror, you see a reflection of yourself. It shows you how you actually look, the food on your face, the tired eyes, whatever is really going on. Marriage has a similar effect. It reflects who you are on the inside, which is why it is so important to understand who you are now and who you are becoming before you get married. Sermon by Nate Whisler 01.27.2026

Eunuchs were men in the Bible who lived as outcasts, often separated from full participation in the worship of God's people. This week, we looked at Isaiah 56, where the Lord gives special attention to these men. Instead of overlooking their sacrifice and devotion, God honors their faithfulness and promises them something greater than they had lost. Sermon by Jake Peterson 01.20.2026

When you’re buying a house, there are plenty of things you consider. How many rooms are there? How big is it? Does it have a fenced-in yard? But one thing has to be non-negotiable: a solid foundation. Without it, the entire house becomes unstable. Likewise the foundation of our lives directly shapes the health and strength of our relationships. Sermon by Andrew Rutten 01.13.2026

We all carry ambitions, things we're determined to accomplish or become. But Romans 15 invites us to consider being ambitious for the gospel. Gospel ambition begins with understanding and applying the gospel in our own lives. As it forms us, it shapes the way we serve, encourage, and build one another up for God's glory. Sermon by Jake Peterson 12.9.2025

When we think about people who don’t know Jesus, how do our hearts respond? With apathy, or with genuine grief? Romans 9 gives us a glimpse into Paul’s heart for the lost. He speaks of deep sorrow and anguish for those who have not come to know Christ. Sermon by Jake Peterson 12.2.2025

There’s a reality about humanity we all must face: none of us is good on our own. We stand unrighteous before a holy God. To truly understand the beauty of the gospel, we first have to recognize the weight of the bad news. Sermon by Daniel Bidne 11.25.2025

Who would you say Jesus is to you? Whatever our answer is will dictate the hope that we have on this side of eternity. The hope of the resurrection has the power to change your life. The tomb is empty. Will you live like it is? Sermon by Jake Peterson 11.11.2025

Paul was an apostle of Christ who devoted his life to seeing the gospel proclaimed. As we opened our sermon series in Romans this past week, we saw Paul begin by addressing humanity's greatest need: the gospel itself. Sermon by Nate Christensen 11.18.2025

Do you ever read the story of the crucifixion and feel tempted to look down on the crowd that shouted, “Crucify Him!” ? It’s easy to distance ourselves from that moment, but have you stopped to realize that our own sins are just as responsible for putting Him on the cross?  Sermon by Nate Christensen 11.4.2025

Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane was one of the darkest moments of His life on earth. Yet, in His hour of anguish, His disciples left Him, prioritizing their own comfort. Jesus remained faithful where we fall short. He lived the life we never could and drank the cup of God's wrath that we deserved. Sermon by Nate Whisler 10.28.2025

What is your definition of greatness? Everyone wants to be great in some capacity. Yet while the world tells us to work harder and climb higher, Jesus calls us to humble ourselves and live sacrificially. He was willing to give everything for us and calls us to do the same for Him.  Sermon by Jake Peterson 10.21.2025

When you reach the end of your life, what do you think you’ll wish you had done differently? When we look at the life of Jesus, we see intentionality, purpose, and ultimately, fulfillment. He calls us to imitate His life by taking up our cross, denying ourselves, and following in His footsteps.  Sermon by Nate Christensen 10.14.2025

Is your heart soft toward the Lord? Will you join Him in His mission to reach others? Are you willing to trust His power as Lord over all things? In Mark 4, Jesus’ parables focus on the heart. He challenges His listeners to consider the state of their hearts as it shapes their grasp of the good news, their willingness to share it with others, and ultimately, their faith in Him as Lord over all thi...

Why does a parent set rules for their child? And why does the child listen? A parent sets rules out of love, for the well-being of their child. The child listens because the parent has authority and acts in their best interest. In the same way, Jesus has authority as the Son of God. Sermon by Nate Christensen 09.23.2025

In the face of sin and destruction, where do we turn? We have a God who delights in mercy and restoration. We can look to Him and find hope, trusting that one day He will restore all of creation back to Himself. Sermon by Daniel Bidne 09.16.2025

If someone could see what's really going on in your heart, would it match the words you speak out loud? Maybe you'd feel exposed, embarrassed, ashamed, or caught in something you never wanted revealed. In Zechariah 3, we learn about how God silences the guilt of His people. Sermon by Jake Peterson 09.09.2025

We all know what it’s like to owe something. A debt eventually has to be paid. But what if it didn’t? What if someone who owes you nothing stepped in and paid it all for you? That seems ridiculous…yet that’s exactly what Jesus did on the cross. Sermon by Eric Wu 09.02.2025

Imagine entering into marriage knowing the person you vow to spend your life with will be unfaithful to you again and again. Now imagine that same person selling themselves into slavery and you having to buy them back. That's not just the story of Hosea, that's our story too. Sermon by Jake Peterson 08.26.2025

Do you tend to view performance or processes as greater than the people around you? Do you view people as a disruption to the ministry? In this final sermon of the summer, Jake preaches about how, in God's kingdom, loving people is the purpose and the process for ministry. Sermon by Jake Peterson 08.01.2025

There is something that enables us to love others well and also gives us a hope to live for. But what is that? And how can we live in the callings to walk with love and live with hope? Sermon by Nate Whisler 07.01.2025

We are waiting for Jesus to return and bring us forever into His holy presence. But, what do we do while now in a broken world? In this sermon, Jake tells us what it looks like to represent Christ while we wait for Him to come again. Sermon by Jake Peterson 07.15.2025

We have a God who is faithful to us, and it is by His power alone that we can walk with true strength and peace. It is His work that we rest on and His grace we rely on. This frees us to walk forward with confidence, even when we feel unfinished. Sermon by Jake Peterson 07.22.2025

Despite what our society believes, sex has the power to shape us either in a way that is glorifying to God or in a way that is harmful. In this sermon, Eric preaches on what sex was designed for and how it is a gift that should be stewarded wisely. Sermon by Dr. Eric Wu 06.24.2025

God's people are called to commit to one another and to be prepared to encounter suffering and persecution. These are two big callings that we can often say we know but don't truly understand. In this sermon, PC3 alum Jakob preaches on how Paul lays out each of the callings for God's people in 1 Thessalonians. Sermon by Jakob Myers 06.17.2025
