The Churches at Pergamum and Thyatira relate to our own day and age perfectly. While both churches are doing several things right, they struggle in 2 main areas: sexual immorality, and idolatry of politics. The American Church has much to learn from these two groups.

The 7 Churches of Revelation begin with Ephesus. They are a church that is doing many things right, but idolatry has crept in and hardened their heart. Could the same be true of us?

What should a Church stand on? What should a Christian build their life on? What did Jesus think about the Bible? Ryan walks us through the importance of God's Word.

What do we do when a friend is grieving? So often we know more about how to care for ourselves, but how do we care for others? in this sermon we get 7 tools for how to help others, and maybe even how to help ourselves.

If God is real, then why doesn't He show Himself? Isn't that what a loving God would do? In tonight's sermon, we walk through the reasons God reveals Himself to us slowly and gradually, rather than all at once.

What does the Bible teach about homosexuality? How do we speak with our neighbor who is same-sex attracted? What does Jesus think of all this? Ryan kicks off our Apologetics series with this very important topic.

The encounter between Jacob and Esau is one of the most unexpected meetings in the entire Bible. Esau's forgiveness is so surprising to us. But as Christians, how surprised should we really be?

In our final sermon in Daniel, Pastor Ryan takes us through Daniel and the Lion's Den. What does Daniel's salvation teach us about surviving in Babylon, and how does it point to Jesus being seen in our own lives?

Tonight we go through one of the most well-known stories in the entire Bible. Jesus meets a woman who has no idea who He is, but He knows everything about her. In this amazing text we learn so many incredible truths about the Bible, about ourselves, and most importantly, about our savior.

New King. Same problems. Tonight Owen Vinson shows us how God moves in our lives and how only what is done for Him will last.

In Daniel chapter 5 we meet a new king with an old problem. We learn that as empires change and fade, we can take great comfort in knowing that our God remains the same.

Sunday Morning Sermon: What can the Christmas story teach us about Church & Politics? How does God work throughout our lives? When is Christmas at its best? Ryan walks us through these topics in the early part of Luke's Gospel.

In Daniel Chapter 4 we discover something we never thought would exist: a nice King Nebuchadnezzar?! How did he get like this? Ryan walks us through how God did an incredible work in Nebuchadnezzar's life, and how He will do the same thing for us.

Why is there a fourth man in the furnace? What can we learn about God's presence with us as we follow Him in a diffuclt culture? Owen Vinson walks us through this awesome and very important text and the end of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's story.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are three of the most famous people in Scripture. But what makes them so famous? In one of the most well-known stories in the entire Bible we see that worship really is everything.

In a special night we hear from Bryon Schirner and finally learn the meaning of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream and is looking for answers. He is looking for what we are all looking for, and Daniel is the only man in Babylon who has the answer. But Daniel will show us, it's not about the answer at all.

How can Daniel point us to Jesus Christ? How do we thrive in a culture that is leaving Christianity? Wisdom is the answer, and Daniel tells us not just where to get it, but who to get it from.

What do we do when our whole world seems to be collapsing? Where is God when we struggle in a culture that has forgotten Him? The book of Daniel helps us answer these questions.

Should you be baptized? Should you be re-baptized? Should your baptism be private or public? Why do we only baptize Believers at PVN? Ryan walks us through all these questions and more!

What is Baptism? Why does someone get baptized? In this first of a two-part series, Ryan walks us through one of the most ancient and important parts of the Christian faith.

In Acts 27 and 28 the Apostle Paul goes through deep trouble. While on his way to Rome he encounters a storm that is beyond his control. So often this happens in our lives. Ryan walks us through three ways Paul finds hope in his storm, and ultimately how we can find hope in ours.

What does true religion look like? What does it really look like to follow Christ in a complicated world? Bryon Schirner shares the way with us from God's Word.

What does the Bible teach about Abortion? How can we be better equipped to have this conversation with our neighbors? Ryan walks us through this important topic in God's Word.

We often forget that in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the main focus of the story is not the younger brother. The focus of the story is on the Pharisee: the older brother who refuses to go in to the party. Bryon explains his situation and what Jesus is trying to tell us.
