Life at Pathway

This week's Lent focus is on lament and the truth that we have solidarity in our suffering as we look to our Savior. Our passages this week include Ezekiel 37:1-14, Psalm 130, John 11, and Romans 8:6-11. We pray this podcast will be a blessing to you during this Lenten season and will deepen your faith in Jesus Christ. Enjoy, and make sure to subscribe to the podcast to receive an alert when o...

Today, as we continue in our FOLLOW sermon series, we’re going be thinking about faith…not in pilots, or doctors, or banks, but in God. This is really important because the significance of your faith is going to determine the shape of your life . If the trajectory of your life isn’t what you wish it was, you might be tempted to set a new goal or make a new resolution. But even those things, apart...

This week's Lent focus is "the Shepherd of the Blind." Our passages this week include: 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Psalm 23, John 9, and Ephesians 5:8-14. Through these passages, we focus in on our Good Shepherd and His care for His sheep. He sees us, knows our needs, and brings healing. Our shepherd is present with us, His sheep. We pray this podcast will be a blessing to you during this Lent...

Today we host Reverend Bryan Crawl from Second Baptist Church in Rochester! He is preaching a message titled HELP WANTED from Luke 9:57-10:3 as his main text. We are thankful to be able to partner with like-minded churches in Beaver County as we work together for the glory of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray this sermon will be a blessing and encouragement to you on your faith journey.

This week's Lent focus is "finding rest in Jesus." Our passages this week include: Exodus 17:1-7, John 4, Psalm 95, and Romans 5:1-11. Through these passages we see the difference between the Israelites in their stubbornness and hardness of hearts not enter into God's rest, and we see an invitation for us to NOT be like them, but, instead, to soften our hearts and enter into God's rest. It's a bea...

There is something in us that believes that God is somehow, and in various ways,out to get us...that Jesus is monitoring our behavior, and when he’s around, at least, we better be at our best. And wrapped into this belief or this assumption is what we could call an unhealthy fear of God. We're not talking about a healthy fear of the Lord, which is something the Scriptures talk about, but we are ta...

This week's Lent focus is "believing even in uncertainty." There are many times in regular life and in our faith journeys where we feel uncertainty. You are invited to join Mary, Ben, Jenna and Jason as they discuss the following passages, and how we can believe even in the midst of uncertainty: Genesis 12:1-4, Romans 4:1-5, 13-17, Psalm 121, John 3:1-17. We pray this podcast will be a blessing to...

Jesus is an incredible storyteller. One of the greatest to have ever lived. Today as we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark, we see Jesus tell a masterful story about sowing seed. This wasn't just a regular story, but a parable pointing to a deeper truth. Jesus used a story about everyday things to communicate a much deeper truth in a way the people could understand.  Jesus invites...

This week of Lent brings with it some challenging conversations around the idea of transgression and confession. Today in our Lent conversation we focus in on Psalm 32 as our main Scripture, but go beyond that, too. We invite you to listen in to the conversation between some of our staff members and share it with a friend. We pray this podcast will be a blessing to you during this Lenten season an...

Sometimes you can participate in the same exact experience as someone else but end up with totally different perspectives on what was happening. Interestingly enough, as we come to Mark 3:7-35, we see the same thing. In this sermon we are going to meet four different groups of people and discover that each of them have their own unique perspective on who Jesus is. As you might expect, not all four...

Today is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of the season of Lent. This day, and season, has been recognized throughout church history for centuries.  We are excited to join in that recognition and journey together to provide you with some resources this Lenten season. In particular, this podcast, as well as a video version, will be made available each week for you to listen to or watch yo...

The natural progression for every one of us when it comes to establishing life’s course is that we go through some experiences, and maybe some instruction, and we form opinions that over time turn into convictions. And for the vast majority of people, the convictions they establish in their 20s or 30s are the convictions they are going to take to the grave. Now, sometimes that’s a good thing. If y...

Today, we’re going to talk about, The Unconventional Way . To see this, we’re going to read through Mark 1:40-2:17 as we look into three distinct encounters Jesus had and each of them is just as surprising and shocking as the one before. We’re going to see Jesus getting into the nitty-gritty of ministry among the people. And as He does, we’re going to see Him do some things that are very much out...

In today's sermon we’re going to be taking a look at Jesus, On Mission . Watching Jesus On Mission is very inspiring because as much as Mark focuses on Jesus’ mission, it is also clear that there is a response that is called for on the part of Jesus’ followers. And if we can get our heads around our response, we’ll be set up for living in harmony with Jesus’ mission and that is going to be a win a...

Have you ever stopped to think about what are essential parts of who you are? What are some of the things that reveal who you are? Pastor Jeff shares some of his in this sermon that continues our series through the Gospel of Mark, called FOLLOW. Through this sermon, we are going to look at the essentials of someone else. We see these essentials as we come to the text we’re going to examine to...

Today, we’re starting a new sermon series where we’re going to look at what it means to follow Jesus. We’re simply calling it, Follow . This is going to be a study through the book of Mark in the New Testament. The idea of following Jesus is central to this book. It is here that we read that Jesus said, “‘Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.’” (Mark 1:17). A li...

For many of us, when it comes to the Bible, it can seem like a mystery. And that can steal some of the desire and motivation to dig into it.  But with some understanding, it can open up a whole new world. Through our sermon today, Pastor Jeff preaches a message attempting to take some of the mystery out of the Bible. If you’re one who can struggle with motivation because you find it diff...

Can the Bible Be Trusted? Can we be confident that the Bible is from God and is a reliable record of God’s will and purposes for mankind? Beyond that, can it be trusted to be an accurate rendering of what was originally penned by the authors who wrote it? We’re going to address those issues in this sermon, because a lot of people are wondering and even more people are doubting. We invite...

Today we start a new series where we try to make sense of the Bible. Where did it come from? How did we get it? Who wrote it? What is the ORIGIN STORY of this divine Book?  We tackle those questions and more in the sermon today. We invite you to listen and to share this with a friend.  Happy New Year!

Today we’re going to be talking about belief.  We’re going to talk about what it looks like to Make Room to Believe Simply .  And to do so, we will look at a couple of very famous verses in the bible that not only talk about Jesus coming to earth but the reason why He did.   We invite you to listen in to our Christmas Eve service as we finish out our MAKE ROOM series! 

Today, we’re going to be thinking about what it means to Make Room…to Live Compassionately. There are a lot of passages we could go to where we could see compassion on display, but we’re going to go to one that speaks of the compassion we see in the coming of Jesus into our world. That makes it a Christmas passage, though it doesn’t talk about angels or shepherds. But what it DOES t...

Today, we’re going to be thinking about what it means to hope expectantly. How does that little word, HOPE, ring in your ears? Are you filled with hope? Have you been disappointed by dashed hopes? Whatever your response, today we are going to talk about the HOPE that we can have through the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us as we HOPE EXPECTANTLY.

There’s no denying we’re embarking on a very busy time of year. It would be very easy to wake up around New Years’ and wonder where December went. At Pathway this year, we’re hoping to change that.  Instead of a season where important people and priorities get crowded out, we want to Make Room.  We want to intentionally make room for what we hope the season would be for us and...

The text that we’re going to be looking at today has some very uplifting truths that we hope will encourage you. It also has some very troubling truths that will grab your attention. It is a good news, bad news text. We invite you to listen in to our sermon from Pastor Jeff, called Good News, Bad News , from Daniel chapters 10-12, as we wrap up our sermon series in the book of Daniel.

The first 6 chapters of the book of Daniel have often been described as history. They give the historical and chronological account of Daniel and the lion’s den; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace; the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar over the nation of Babylon, and so on.  But when we come to chapter 7, there is a shift.  From this point on, what we find is a focus o...
