Follow the King

They saw the 👑 King—but not clearly. They celebrated His arrival—but misunderstood His mission. They looked for strength—but missed surrender. They wanted victory—but didn’t recognize how He would win. Not on a war horse 🐎—on a donkey. 🫏 Not to defeat Rome—but to defeat sin. Not through power—but through sacrifice. ✝️ Jesus still works in surprising ways—often quiet, often unexpected, often rig...

It’s possible to walk with Jesus—and still not see Him clearly. Because His kingdom doesn’t look like ours. It’s upside-down. A kingdom whose King was enthroned with sinners on His right and left. A kingdom whose Messiah was recognized by the blind and missed by the religious. A kingdom where serving the least is the way to greatness. A kingdom where beggars are rich and the wealthy are poor. Mayb...

Jesus said the kingdom of God often looks upside down. The world tells us to hold tightly to what we have—while Jesus invites us to open our hands. Hands full of the world can’t receive heaven’s treasure. But open hands discover the joy of God’s kingdom—and the blessing of being His family. This week at Plymouth Community Church, we explored what it means to live in the upside-down kingdom of Jesu...

Marriage matters—because it reflects Christ and His church. And marriage is hard—because it joins two imperfect people. And when marriage breaks, the grace of Jesus is still greater than our brokenness. In Mark 10, Jesus reminds us of God’s design for marriage—and the restoring grace He offers when life doesn’t unfold the way we hoped.

Salvation often gets reduced down to “Jesus forgave my sins so I can go to heaven.” That’s gloriously true—but it’s incomplete. Salvation offers more than forgiveness—it offers a family. God does more than bring us into His kingdom—He brings us into His people. Which means the idea, “It’s just Jesus and me,” doesn’t tell the whole story. Heaven is part of our inheritance—and so are the people arou...

God confronts evil—He will address whatever stands in opposition to His kingdom. God conquers evil—at the Cross, Jesus opened the way into the kingdom of God. Hell is the tragic end of continually rejecting the invitation to God’s kingdom and resisting the reign of King Jesus. 

Fasting is not a formula that moves God. Rather, fasting moves us into a place of surrender under the reign of King Jesus. When Jesus said to hunger and thirst after righteousness, He was giving us a way to live—and fasting helps form in us the same hunger for God that we have for food.  Ultimately, fasting is not about getting something from God—but about offering ourselves to God.

Today, as our nation remains fractured over immigration, law and order, elections, and cultural identity, we often assume the real battle is between opposing sides. But Scripture presses us to ask a deeper question: what does God see when we argue, react, and take sides? This message explores how pride shapes our responses, how the gospel confronts the heart, and what it looks like to live under t...

Our view of God’s kingdom shapes our lives more than we realize—including the way we read Scripture. We can either sit fully confident in our own understanding—or allow the voice of Jesus to re-shape our expectations.

The glory revealed on the mountain is meant to transform how we live by faith in the valley. In Mark 9, Jesus shows His disciples who He is—a greater Lawgiver than Moses—in preparation for where He is leading them.
 A mountaintop moment with Jesus should shape how we live, trust, and follow Him in ordinary moments.

Many of us know the Bible well. We love Jesus. We genuinely desire to live faithful, committed, and sincere lives. And yet… something in us still wonders if there’s more. In this message, we explore how the Holy Spirit transforms us, empowers us, and gently directs our lives—not to make us someone else, but to help us live as the new creations we already are in Christ. This isn’t just about gettin...

New year. Same habits? Or new hearts? Most of us don’t need another resolution—we need transformation. And real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from beholding Jesus and being changed by His Spirit—one degree at a time. That’s why our theme for 2026 is OPEN. Open to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Open to His voice. Open to the kind of life-changing work only He can do—in...

Jesus was born—not only to die. Jesus was born—so we could live the new life He offers, in the family He formed, and under His rule as King. And this eternal life is found at the Tree of Calvary. 

Jesus once cursed a fig tree—and it wasn’t because He was having a bad day. It was a living picture of a deeper story. Throughout Scripture, Israel is described as God’s vine—planted, cared for, and called to bear fruit for the world. But when the vine failed, God didn’t abandon the story. At Christmas, the promised Branch arrived—and that Branch grew into the True Vine. And Jesus, the Vine, invit...

Christmas isn’t just the story of a baby in a manger. It’s the story of a God who refused to give up on Eden. In Eden, we lost access to the Tree of Life. In the temple, we only saw glimpses of it. At the Cross, the true Tree of Life hung on a tree of death. And in the New Creation, the Tree of Life stands at the center of the world Jesus will restore. This message walks through the entire story—f...

Ever considered how the story of Jacob and Esau points us toward Advent? The older should have been chosen—but wasn’t. The younger should have been rejected—but wasn’t. The betrayed should have been bitter—but wasn’t. The offended should have struck back—but instead embraced. It’s the gospel in miniature: the God who blesses where we least expect it, the God who forgives what we cannot fix, and th...

Some people talk as if there are two versions of following Jesus: 👉 Christians 👉 Disciples But Jesus never separated the two. He simply offered a choice. "Whoever wants to save their life..." or "Whoever wants to be My disciple—which will cost you your life." The choice is yours.

“Who do you say Jesus is?” In Mark 8, Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah—the King. Not just a teacher. Not a mascot. Not a safety net. The One who conquers sin, death, and hell. This week we looked at why that confession still changes everything— because when we see Jesus clearly as King, it reshapes how we live, how we love, and who we become.

What does it really mean to belong to a church family? In Acts 2, we see a Spirit-filled community shaped by worship, growth, unity, service, and mission. This message unpacks PCC’s Covenant Commitment—a call to depend on King Jesus and one another as we live for His Kingdom together.

Faith doesn’t grow by accident. It’s formed through hearts that listen, love, teach, and remember. In this message, parents and families are challenged to see discipleship as a daily calling—not just a Sunday activity. When our homes reflect the love and presence of Jesus, the next generation learns what it truly means to follow Him. #FaithFamily #Deuteronomy6 #ParentingWithPurpose #GenerationalFa...

Today we saw how even the numbers preach the gospel: 5 + 2 = 12 (Jesus feeds the 5,000 — Israel satisfied). 7 → 7 with 4,000 (Jesus feeds the Gentiles — the nations satisfied). From Israel to the nations, King Jesus is more than enough to fill what we empty and meet every need. 🍞✝️ And just like the blind man who finally saw clearly, may we see Jesus for who He truly is — the Bread of Life for al...

✨ Today was a special day in the life of our faith family as we ordained deacons at PCC. But the message wasn’t just for them—it was for all of us. Every Christian is called to serve. 🙌 Every Christian should aim to qualify. 💡 Every Christian must keep their eyes on Jesus. 👀✝️ Leadership in the church is never about recognition—it’s about helping others remember Jesus, the greatest Servant of...

🌊 Storms in life will come. What matters is who shows up in the storm. This week’s message reminds us that the greatest gift isn’t the absence of storms but the presence of the I AM. When the disciples faced the wind and waves, they discovered something greater than calm seas: they discovered the glory of Jesus. 🙌 Watch the full message here and be encouraged to see His glory in your storm. #The...

What do you do when Jesus doesn’t meet your expectations? 🤔 John the Baptist—the one who introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God 🕊️—sat in prison wondering, “Are You really the One?” Sometimes our prayers don’t get answered the way we hope. 💔 The sickness lingers. The relationship doesn’t heal. The road gets harder. But Jesus reminds us: He came to bring freedom from sin ⛓️✝️ and life with Him—not j...

🍞🐟 What’s for lunch? In Mark 6, one boy gave his small lunch to Jesus—and watched it feed thousands. This Family Sunday we learned: 
1️⃣ Jesus prepares and provides so we can care for others.
2️⃣ Following Jesus may leave us tired, but it’s where miracles happen.
3️⃣ Jesus can multiply anything we place in His hands. 💡 So the question is: what do you need to place in Jesus’ hands today? #PCC #F...
