Life at Pathway

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...

Today we come back to the book of Daniel to take a look at a circumstance where there was a big trial that was being faced and we’re going to see how it was approached. And since it has to do with overcoming lions, it seemed appropriate to call this message: Taming Trials. The place where we find this account is in Daniel chapter 6.  If you’re familiar with the Bible, you are familiar wi...

Last week we started a sermon series working our way through the book of Daniel in the Old Testament.  In the first two chapters, we met Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and we saw their faithfulness in the midst of great trial.  We also met the king, Nebuchadnezzar who was the head of the immensely powerful kingdom of Babylon...

Today, we’re beginning a new sermon series where we’re going to take the next 5 weeks to look at the book of Daniel in the OT.  The truth is that the temptation to conform in Daniel’s day was just as great as it is in our day today. That’s because conformity isn’t a cultural problem, it’s a human problem. So, when someone steps up in the midst of the pressure to conform and dares to...

Today, we are going to think together about faith. Are you a person who finds it easy or difficult to put your faith in other people or things? The truth is that the depth of our faith if fluid. It will change based on how we feel or in what we’re being asked to place our faith.  The real measure of our spiritual health is the state of our faith. If our faith is thriving, then there will be s...

"I just don’t know where the time goes." "There aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done." "I’m too busy." Have you ever thought, or said, any of those things?  Sure, you have…we all have.  Our collective psyche as Americans operates in that realm.  We’ve convinced ourselves that there’s more to do than there is time available to get it done.  And that’s true.&nbsp...

Today we continue our new sermon series, Fresh Start , as we talk about prayer. If we are going to have a fresh start in our prayer life, we need to reimagine, rethink and refresh the ways we think about prayer. In order to do that, Pastor Jason is going to lead us through four different ways to look at prayer: Why We Don’t Pray, What Prayer is Not, What Prayer Is, and Why We Should Pray.  We...

Today we continue our new sermon series, Fresh Start , as we talk about parenting. We will talk through four keys to a fresh start in parenting, but these keys can be applicable to most of our relationships. They are specifically applied to parenting in the sermon today, but we believe they can broaden to fit into a very real application in your life, whether you are a parent or not. We invite you...

Today, we’re starting a new sermon series called Fresh Start .  All of us have circumstances in our lives where we are hopeful for a fresh start, a new beginning. It might have to do with your family, your faith, your prayer life, or how you use your time. Things aren’t working very well and you don’t really like it, but you just sort of put up with it. Or, you come up with a way to...

Today, we are going to take a look at the last words of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Rome. You would think these would be famous last words as well, because they’re in the Bible, but today we’re calling these Unfamous Last Words, because often times they are overlooked. We invite you to join us as we look into these often overlooked last words of Paul as we wrap up our series ca...

Today we’re going to be talking about finding purpose. We don’t need to be a part of the 75% who struggle to find meaning in who we are or what we’re called to do. We’re calling this message, On Purpose . That’s because we’re going to address this topic “on purpose”, or intentionally, and also because it is on purpose…about purpose. The reason this is on our mind today is that it is esse...

Today we continue our series, Romans: Grace Changes Everything . In Romans 15, Paul is trying to help us get a glimpse of what biblical unity looks like. Pastor Jeff is preaching today about Unity on Display . As we look at unity on display, we’re going to consider where we need it, when we see it and how we live it. And given all we see around us today, in the world and in the church, i...

Today we move into the second half of Romans 14, continuing our series - Romans: Grace Changes Everything. Paul begins to shift his focus here from the weak in faith to the strong in faith. The first half of the chapter he wrote about specific hangups for the spirituall weak, he finished out this chapter writing to the spiritually strong and their freedom from those hangups.  Paul cautioned t...
