Life at Pathway

Join us for another in a series of sermons on Advent.

Pastor Jeff McNicol continues the inspiring Christmas series

We’re starting a new sermon series today that we’re calling Down to Earth . It will certainly be a celebration of the fact that Jesus left the glories of heaven and came to our planet. But it’s more than that. It will also focus on the fact that Jesus Himself, as well as the message of the season, is Down to Earth. That is to say, it is not mysterious and theoretical and difficult to understand......

The Scriptures tell us many benefits of thanksgiving, but you might be interested to know that science has also gotten on the bandwagon of the benefits of living thankful. Sources from Psychology Today to the Mayo Clinic agree that when we live thankful lives it will reduce depression, lessen anxiety, support heart health, relieve stress, boost immunity, improve your mood and it will even help you...

What does it mean to live with FULL SURRENDER? We would love for Pathway to be marked by people who are fully surrendered. But that’s not something that just happens. It requires some very intentional steps...and some that can be elusive, even in the church. So, how do we get there? Listen in as Pastor Jeff interviews Nate Guenin and then shares some more insight to how we can live in FULL SURREND...

Today we’re continuing in our Future You sermon series where we’re looking down the road and we're asking ourselves where we want to be a year from now, or 5 years, or 10 years, because there are essential steps we can take today that are going to work to make that Future You a reality. And the essential step we’re going to be thinking about today is LETTING GO. We spend a lot of time in Chris...

We all face it, but how do we handle it? Daily we are faced with temptations to satisfy good desires in sinful ways. How do we resist these temptations? It will take more than a 3-step program to resist temptations when they come. We invite you to tune in as Pastor Ben continues our sermon series Future You with a sermon titled RESISTING TEMPTATION.

Today we hear another testimony of God at work in someone's life. Steve Wellendorf joins Pastor Jeff to share his personal testimony about when life takes a turn. We invite you to listen to and share this message with others.

This week we interrupt our FUTURE YOU series for a week of MY TESTIMONY to hear from someone about how God is at work in their lives. We hear from Samantha Thompson this week followed by Pastor Jeff giving practical application from the Word of God. We pray this will be an impactful element to our sermon series and something that will encourage you in your faith to follow Jesus faithfully each day...

Right now, we’re in a series where we’re thinking about Future You. We’re asking ourselves who we want to be in the future and considering what we need to do today to make that future a reality. That’s because we don’t magically arrive at our preferred destination just by wishing it into existence. We arrive at a destination because we put ourselves on that path. Today, we’re going to be thinking...

We may have the best of intentions, but intentions alone won't get us to our desire destination, the "future you" that you want to become. We must take our intentions and put them into action! We invite you to listen in to our sermon this week from Steve Pink as he continues our sermon series FUTURE YOU, talking about how we can TAKE ACTION to put into practice the things we have bee...

We invite you to join us today as Pastor Jeff interviews Jimi Moore and leads us through Galatians 6:9 as we continue our FUTURE YOU series in a message titled: Be Better

Today, we’re going to be talking about Controlling Habits , both as how habits can have control us and also how we can learn to control our habits. Many of the paths that lead to the future are driven by habits, so it’s vital that we handle them appropriately. In today's sermon, Pastor Jeff addresses three questions that can set FutureYou up for great blessing and success. We’re going to ask:...

The relationships we choose today have a significant bearing on who we become tomorrow. And if our future self could pay us a visit today, it would beg us to make the best choices possible so that Future You would be able to thrive, unencumbered by unnecessary baggage the wrong relationship can create. Today, as we continue our consideration of "Future You" in this sermon series, we are...

This weekend we began a new series called Future You . Future You is going to take a look at several components of our spiritual lives and consider what the future can be. We are confident that you have desires for what your spiritual future would be, but its possible we aren’t working on an intentional plan to get there. So, we’re going to consider a number of topics in this series concerning wha...

What is the "Kingdom of God" and how do we get there? Once we're there, how do we live as Kingdom People? Today, Pastor Ben takes us on a journey through the Kingdom of God, talking about what it is, how we get there, and what it means to live according to the values of the Kingdom of God. We invite you to listen in and to share with a friend as we talk about the Kingdom of God.

Over the last 8 months, we’ve been taking a very close look at the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament. A gospel is an account of the life of Jesus. And in our study, we’ve been considering what it looks like to be a genuine follower of Jesus. Today, we are concluding our series as we look at the last topic Mark addresses: the resurrection of Jesus.  You’ve heard of Christmas in July?  This is Eas...

We all go through things in life where we have the best of intentions and wind up feeling the heat, when it seems that no one is there to join us or even have our back, and we realize we have stepped into something that really stinks and we don’t want to do it anymore. We find ourselves suffering and we lack the endurance to keep going. It can be parenting, it can be a job, it can be a conversatio...

Last week we saw Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane with the disciples while He was praying earnestly, and the disciples were sleeping. It was there that Judas came out and betrayed Jesus with a kiss, which led to Jesus being captured. Jesus is then carted off, and even though it is the middle of the night, Jesus is immediately put on trial. And that’s where our passage begins this week, in Mark 14...

This week we look at Mark 14:32-52 and the drama of Gethsemane. The setting for this drama is a place called the Garden of Gethsemane, which was a place right just across the valley from the temple and the city of Jerusalem on what is known as the Mount of Olives. This drama is described for us in a few scenes and through them, we’re going to see the final events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion r...

As we continue on in our FOLLOW series through the Gospel of Mark, preaching through Mark 14:12-31, we have now come to Thursday of that final week of Jesus's life. We are now just about 24 hours away from Jesus’ death. It’s at this time that Jesus has a very special meal with His disciples. It’s usually called “The Last Supper.” And it would be the last supper, the last meal, Jesus would have...

The love we’re going to see expressed in Mark 14:1-11 is from a woman who comes up a few times in the New Testament, and each time we see an unusual and powerful sort of love. Hers is an Exemplary Love . If you look at a dictionary definition of exemplary, it says, “Serving as a desirable model; representing the best of its kind.” We are going to see both of those things. This love we’ll see repre...

If you stop to think about it, we spend a lot of time watching. We watch for all sorts of things. We watch for who the Steelers are going to draft, or who the Pirates will draft this weekend with the #1 overall pick in the MLB draft. We watch for news of Supreme Court decisions, or the rescue of a soccer team trapped in a flooded cave a few years ago.  We certainly spend a lot of time watching, an...

What really matters to you? A lot of surveys have asked that question. One was done by Pew Research and theirs revealed that what really matters to about 75% of people is spending time with family.  The next highest response was practicing your faith…but less than 1/3 of people said it really mattered.   Now, long before Pew Research was asking what really matters, an important leader was asking t...

In Mark 11:27-12:27 we’re going to see Jesus being tested. In fact, this message is called “Testing Jesus” because of what we'll see. We are going to see three different groups of people, all of whom are putting Jesus to the test and seeing if they might be able to trap Him in His words and thus fail the test put to Him.  And, in each case, the response of Jesus is stunning and shows remarkabl...
