Guest speaker Dr. Brian Perkins from the Louisville, KY church challenges us with further instruction on how the Holy Spirit guides us in outreach, convicts us toward repentance, and intercedes for us so we may confidently go before God and our neighborsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pittsburgh-church--3637191/support.

Romans 8:26-27 encourages with the Spirit's presumption to pray on our behalf, even through wordless groans

Holy Spirit Power is not a feeling, it's a reality that you sometimes feel

Every day we seek to stay in step with the Spirit, more prayer seems necessary!

Jesus told us that having the Holy Spirit with us would be better than having Him at our side! When we go where the Spirit is going, we move away from training and toward walking where the Spirit leads

Don't be fooled by the ways of this world. Evaluate what tethers you and yet drags you down from God's view of and desires for you.

Revelation 12 gives us a view of the spiritual forces around us from the beginning of time -- even at the birth of Jesus. We need to be able to see past our daily demons and appreciate what God is doing

Revelation 10 echoes Ezekiel 1-2 -- calling us to urgently express the saving compassion of Jesus

While many different terrors and authorites offer us an option to take the side of the Beast or the Lamb, those with steadfast endurance and faith in Jesus thrive in the grace -- and avoid the wrath -- of God

God puts off his final judgment till every possible person can be saved. Will we hold on a little longer as well?

Revelation 4-5 introduces us to some of John's bizarre visions, which in the end demonstrate how worthy of praise, honor and glory Jesus is

Our work for the LORD is not done yet! We learn from the churches in Sardis and Philadelphia that we're not dead yet, but we've got to wake up and hold on.

For part 3 of the miniseries, "The Jesus-Approved Church" in Revelation 2, we learn from the example of the church in Thyatira to not compromise in the face of immorality and an unwillingness to repent within the church and to get help from our brothers and sisters when we do

In part 2 of the miniseries, "A Jesus Approved Church," Josiah Saunders portrays the examples of the churches in Smyrna and Pergamum as lessons to embrace suffering and embrace accountability to the Word as influence from unholy sources creeps in

For the first part of our miniseries in Revelation 2, we seek to become a Jesus Approved Church by returning to the things we did at first and rekindle out love for Jesus and his people

As we begin to wrap up 2023, we start a series on REVELATION, rethinking what that often-misunderstood book -- and the Jesus it reveals -- means to us when we read and pray

We have a tendency to pull back from loving God or loving others when we experience harm or fear, but God demonstrates and embodies perfect love

Continuing the Summer of Love series, let's be sure to sift our perspective and our hopes and desires through filter of the sacrificial love of Jesus

The life of Jesus reverses the curse of Cain. I John 3 calls us not to take the lives of our brothers thru hate, but to imitate Jesus' love and lay down our lives for one another.

Everyone who hopes in the resurrection of Jesus becomes as pure as Jesus. We always end up sinning, but Jesus always redeems.

So often we're led to believe that we're supposed to plug our way through the world with blinders on, but failing to know and love Jesus as Messiah actually pits us against him

While our love for one another and the church may slowly fade, Jesus affirms his anointing upon us

Guest speaker Sean Keeley-Cain kicks off our series on 1 John with an exhortation to reconsider what we think of fellowship as an expression of love for the church and more importantly as a way to love one another like Jesus does

As we conclude the gospel of John this week, we see that Jesus fully fogiving and restoring Peter in preparation for fully commissioning him and us generations later!

What more evidence do you need to believe?

What kind of a king really is Jesus? We survey the account of the Cross from John 18-19

A narrative from John 18 detailing the back and forth between Peter and Jesus at the hour of his betrayal. Guest speaker Sam Faller helps us shed the fear that keeps us from fully trusting Jesus.

What does Jesus want? Do you want what Jesus wants? Jesus's prayer in John 17 illustrates his intention for his people to see him clearly, do good, and be united

You have a thousand reasons to stumble, but a thousand more to get back up

What idols and ideals do we need to prune in order to fully experience the love and grace of Jesus?

Jesus assured us that we would do greater things than he, so as we walk his way, where's our spiritual ambition gone?

Or, "Love One Another... No Exceptions... Even That Guy"Jesus demonstrates love as a relentless pursuit, not just good vibes

Jesus "wastes" his love on us. What stops us from pouring it out on our neighbors?

This Easter Sunday, we're reminded that Jesus declared himself the Resurrection before he ever went to the cross and set the example that nothing is ever over when we're on a journey there with him

Jesus's whole agenda is making connections where there previously were none

A sheep knows the shepherd's voice, but even if we're not hearing Jesus, the Good Shepherd, his resume speaks for itself

Guest speaker "Baruch the Pharisee" recounts a narrative of encountering the outlaw Jesus, who claimed that to be right with God you must release your grip on your own ways

Anthony Vines challenges us the return to having difficult conversations with our peers in order to give them the opportunity to hear the voice of Jesus

We survey John 6 to learn the do's and don'ts of appreciating the solemn meal that is Jesus Christ himself

Just providing lunch for us would have been enough, but Jesus gives us the means to feed 5000! John 6 and Ephesians 3 lead us to consider the immeasurable amount of grace Jesus gives us

Jesus demonstrates for us in his interaction with the woman at Jacob's well that our worship has to extend outside of our typical regular routines

Christians' lives need to be night and day from the rest of the world from the day our sins are forgiven at baptism, but how do we try to camoflage or dim the light of the Spirit in us?

Looking at Jesus's first miracle, we learn that Jesus takes our low points and refines them even when we have no idea that he's working

"Convince me to confess you"

What was it like meeting Jesus for the first time? As we contemplate how to start off 2023, James Rosenquist challenges us to start with the Word as it was in the Beginning.

Anthony Vines recounts the promise of the prophecy of the nativity -- that a savior has come not just for the world at large but for each one of us

From Joshua 1:1-18, James and Elaina Rosenquist urge us to get the song of desertion and despair out of our heads and courageously play a new one
