Podcast - Parkway Christian Center

One that erodes relationships, causes us to easily be offended, creates disobedient hearts, makes us live life selfishly. Something that we ALL have. Nations fall for it. People die because of it. Relationships are ruined because of it.

In this episode of the Parkway Podcast, Pastor Jay and Pastor Jim discuss how the often-overlooked book of Leviticus still speaks powerfully to believers today. They explore how the laws and rituals in Leviticus reveal God's holiness and help us understand the deeper spiritual principles that still apply to Christian life. Together they examine how pursuing holiness is not about legalism, but about cultivating a genuine relationship with God that allows His presence to shape our homes, habits, and hearts. Ultimately, the episode challenges believers to move beyond simply knowing about God and instead pursue a life that hosts His presence through sincere discipleship and holiness.

Leviticus is answering one central question: How do a sinful people live with a Holy God in their midst? God is teaching us discernment. What you repeatedly allow will eventually shape you. Holiness is about guarding what has access to you. It's not about perfection, holiness is about returning to the right filter. What filter are you living with?

In the ancient world, wells meant survival, inheritance, and permanence. You didn't control territory by flags. You controlled territory by water. And the enemy understood something: If you cannot create a better source, bury the true one.

Not every well has water. Not every source gives life. Not everything that calls itself spiritual can sustain a soul. And if we are not careful, we will drink from something that looks ancient, organized, religious, even feels right and still walk away thirsty. A counterfeit well is any source that promises life, identity, or a security apart from the presence of God. The well is Jesus, the Holy Spirit is the water.

Encounter is not the same as access. Access is about position, encounter is about posture. Not everyone with access experiences the same depth of encounter.

Pastor Jay kicks off a new sermon series on the Book of Leviticus. Leviticus is not just a book of laws, sacrifices, and instructions that feels distant from modern life. It's where God moved closer and became relational. It answers the question, How does a HOLY God live in the middle of an unholy people without destroying them.

"But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him." - 2 Kings 3:15 Worship tills the soil. The Word plants the seed. And the Spirit brings the increase.

Come and celebrate all that God is doing at Parkway! Our Grand Re-Opening doesn't mark the end of a journey, but the start of a new chapter in the history and legacy of Parkway.

Pastor Jay talks through two fires in scripture that Peter experienced. Between these two fires, Peter is challenged and changed. The first fire, the fire of compromise asked, “Do you belong to Him?” and the second fire, the fire of Pentecost answered, “Yes—and let me tell you who He is.” One fire exposed his fear. The other fire empowered his faith. A House of Blessing is built when ordinary people place ordinary things on the altar and God puts His extraordinary power on them.

Listen as Crystal Allemand, one of our Prayer Ministry Team Leaders, digs into our value of Prayer. We recognize the birth place for all kingdom work starts with prayer. Prayer is God's strategy for impartations, revelation and transformation. Christ commands in Mark 11:17, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'?"

If you want to be a House of Power, you must be a mature believer who understand the following: the power of remaining through the press, the power of God opportunities, and the power of opposition.

Join us as Pastor Don walks us through scripture, identifying the principle in the pattern that leads us to discover the promise.

When God chose to redeem the world, he sent an infant. Dependent and innocent.

Sometimes God answers your desperation with a simple instruction not a dramatic demonstration.

Have you ever noticed, that the more familiar you become with something, the easier it becomes to ignore it, undervalue it, or even misuse it? It's not that the thing lost its power. It's that you stopped seeing its value. Do we do that with Jesus? Listen to Pastor Jay as he kicks off this new series, "Christmas in my Hometown" by digging into Mark 6:1-6 and how Jesus was perceived in His hometown.

There are "Saul's" in every city, church, and region. Sitting in silence, waiting for someone to see what God already spoke. They're not lazy. They're not lost. They're in formation. When God says, "It's time," He'll always send a Barnabas who's willing to go find them. Who are you willing to go looking for? Acts 11:25-26 "Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch."

Every city caries both a promise and a problem. In every community there is beauty and brokenness, progress and pain, faith and fear. Some people look at their city and only see its sin, the crime, corruption, and chaos. But God looks at the same city and still sees promise.

Every city rom Babylon to Grants Pass reflects the heart of the people who live init. When hearts fall out of order, cities fall out of order. Violence, corruption, injustice, addiction, gender confusion, idolatry, rebellion, disunity, political infighting, they are not just social problems: They are spiritual dis-orders.

Together the story of our city can be traced to 23 New Testament cities and their churches, by tracing the journey of the gospel from Jerusalem to the ends o th earth. From Jerusalem to Laodicea, the story of the early church unfolds like a map of grace; from fire to complacency, from persecution to glory. It is the story of how the gospel began with a small group in an upper room and spread across continents, cultures, and generations.

There is a race to the "shallow" end of the pool that has a version of "God." Most are satisfied with this ankle deep, shallow end Christianity. But, if He's not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all.
