From vulnerability and loneliness to newfound belonging and faith, Jon shares the surprising blessings of starting this ministry—and the simple practices of showing up and listening that make all the difference.Park Place Community is more than a program; it's changing culture, creating connection, and showing that even later in life, people are finding their place at the table with Jesus. Whether you serve seniors, lead in ministry, or simply care about belonging, this story will inspire you to imagine what's possible when the church shows up in unexpected places.Pastor Jon Moody received his Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, IL) in 1998.

How do you know you're right with God? The answer isn't in what you've done — but in what Jesus already did. In a world that rewards performance, this message is a reminder that justification comes not by works, but by faith in Christ alone.
If God makes promises and God keeps his promises, why is life so hard? Why do I have good desires (for peace or intimacy or joy) that go unmet? Our cloud of witnesses reminds us that this world is not our home, and our unmet desires prove it. Instead, we desire a better (heavenly) home. Don't grow weary and lose heart for our true home exists and awaits us!

Worship is not just something we do...it's who we are made to be. In this message, we explore what it truly means to worship God in spirit and truth- beyond rituals and routines, from the depths of our hearts. How might your life change if worship became your everyday reality?
Right after Jesus dies the Bible says, “And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.” It was not torn from the bottom-up, as though we could tear the veil open. Rather through the death of Christ—through his torn body—we are given access. No more insiders or outsiders but rather we are all welcomed in on account of Christ. What great news!

In a culture that urges us to define ourselves by what we do, what we have, or how we feel, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are. This message confronts the identity crisis many of us carry by tracing it back to the root- how sin distorts, culture confuses, and God clarifies who we were always meant to be: His image bearers.
