2 Peter 2:2-22 | Pastor Rick In this Sunday Night in the Café message (2 Peter 2:11–22), Pastor Rick warns that false teachers often arise inside the church looking convincing but proving empty. Promising “freedom” while enslaved to corruption themselves. Using Peter's vivid images (wells without water, clouds without rain), he calls us to discernment: be people who measure every claim by Scripture, test the spirits, and watch for wolves in sheep's clothing. Stay close to Jesus and His Word, rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, refuse manipulative hype, and help new believers find solid ground in the truth.

Acts 3 | Pastor Greg In this message from Acts 3, we follow Peter and John to the temple at the hour of prayer and witness the healing of a man lame from birth at the Beautiful Gate—done in the authority of Jesus, not human power or hype. Pastor unpacks the difference between the Spirit's sovereign manifestations “as He wills” and our ongoing call to “pursue love” (1 Cor. 12–14), and re-centers the church on its four pillars from Acts 2:42: the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. The takeaway is humble and practical: refuse the spotlight, point to Christ, and stay open to how God may use you—one person at a time.

Genesis 11| Pastor Greg This message begins in Genesis 11, where humanity—speaking one language—settles to build a city and a tower “to make a name” and avoid scattering; defying God's command to fill the earth. God comes down, confuses their language, and scatters them; this is both judgment and mercy, slowing united rebellion and still accomplishing His plan. Babel/Babylon is shown as a biblical picture of man-centered religion and power, with a brief caution that modern tech and shared language can serve either pride or good. The chapter's genealogy then narrows from Shem to Abram, setting up Genesis 12: God calls Abram out and promises to bless all families through him. The main point: God brings down human pride and establishes His own way to bless the world.

Genesis 12 | Pastor Greg This teaching turns to Genesis 12. God's call of Abram, His promise to bless all nations through him, and the reminder that being “chosen” means being brought near to know God and make Him known. We see Abram's delayed obedience in Haran, his altars at Shechem and between Bethel (“house of God”) and Ai (“heap of ruins”)—a vivid picture of where believers live now, between what we've left and where we're headed. A famine prompts a fearful detour to Egypt, where Abram's deception about Sarai brings painful consequences, yet God preserves His promise and protects Sarai. The takeaway: in a tense cultural moment and in personal uncertainty, cling to God's Word, resist fear, walk in grace toward the lost, and trust the God who keeps His promises.

In Philippians 1:1–11, Paul (writing from prison) calls himself and Timothy “bondservants” of Jesus, thanks God every time he remembers the church, and trusts that the God who started His work in them will finish it. He says they are in his heart and prays that their love will grow with real knowledge and discernment, so they choose what is excellent and live sincere, blameless lives filled with Jesus' righteousness. The simple takeaway: belonging to Jesus shapes how we think, feel, and pray—turn memories into thanks, hold people in your heart, and pray this prayer for one another, trusting God to complete His work.

In 2 Peter 2:1–10, Peter warns that false teachers will slip into the church, smuggling in destructive ideas that twist the truth, excuse immorality, and exploit people for money. Their impact can be big, but God's justice isn't sleeping—He judged fallen angels, the world in Noah's day, and Sodom and Gomorrah, and He also rescued Noah and Lot. The point: judgment delayed is not judgment denied, and God knows how to protect His people. So stay grounded in Scripture, learn to spot counterfeits, refuse the pull of the flesh, and trust the Lord to keep you while He deals with those who won't turn back.

This message looks at 2 Peter 1:10–21, where Peter urges believers to live diligently in their faith so that their lives bear lasting fruit and their works would be evidence of Christ in them (not a means of salvation). Near the end of his life, he reminds them that he personally witnessed Jesus' glory and heard the Father's voice, confirming who Christ is. He points to Scripture as a steady light in dark times, written not by human invention but carried along by the Holy Spirit. The focus is on building a faithful legacy, grounded in God's Word and secured in the hope of Christ's eternal kingdom.

Acts 2 | Pastor Greg This message unpacks Acts 2: the Spirit's Pentecost outpouring fulfilling Joel, Peter's Scripture-rooted sermon that Jesus is both Lord and Christ, and the call to repent and be baptized—“whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”—as 3,000 are added. It then highlights Acts 2:42 as the church's blueprint: steadfast devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayers. The passage also shows a voluntary, temporary sharing of goods, and a rhythm of gathering in the temple and from house to house. The point: Scripture presents a Spirit-empowered church that bears witness to Jesus and is defined by these four core devotions.

Genesis 10 | Pastor Greg This message walks through Genesis 10—the “Table of Nations”—as Pastor Greg explains how the families of Noah's three sons (Japheth, Ham, and Shem) spread across the earth. He highlights names and regions (like Canaan, the Philistines, and Nimrod's Babel/Nineveh) and shows how this chapter sets up Genesis 11 (Babel) and Genesis 12 (God narrowing the line to Abraham). The chapter shows God knows every nation, and He chose the line of Shem/Israel not for status but to bless the whole world through the Messiah. The study pairs God's patience with real judgment on corrupt cultures and cautions against pride and anti-Semitism.

Romans 10:16-21 | Pastor Ed Romans 10:13–21—“Beautiful Feet.” Pastor ties Paul's gospel chain together: God sends; we preach; people hear; they believe; they call—and “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” He hands the baton to us: “You are the preacher.” God chose people—not angels—to carry this news because forgiven people can actually describe forgiveness. “Faith comes by hearing,” so take the message across the room, the street, the campus; that's when your feet are beautiful to God. Creation already shouts that He's real; some will still resist, but grace keeps reaching. The invitation lands personally: believe, call, be saved. It's not about perfect technique or perfect people—it's about an obedient step. Heaven's favorite word here is “whoever,” and today that means you.

Romans 10:16-21 | Pastor Rick In 1 Samuel 16, God closes Saul's chapter and sends Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint David—the kid Jesse didn't even bring in from the sheep. Heaven's hiring isn't about height or résumés; God looks at hearts. Samuel obeys while afraid, taking the next step God gives—not a full blueprint. Where He guides, He provides. Ordinary faithfulness becomes the launchpad for extraordinary calling as the Spirit comes upon David to lead. Be faithful in small things, brave in uncertain things, and expect surprises—God moves past appearances, writes the story, and He has the last word.

2 Peter 3:8-17 | Dan Finfrock Living In a Hostile World Peter shepherds a persecuted church toward a distinct way of life in a hostile world: cultivate unity and compassion; refuse retaliation and choose blessing; bridle the tongue, pursue peace, and trust God's justice; set Christ apart in your heart and stand courageous; be ready to give a gentle, respectful reason for your hope; and keep a clear conscience so your conduct shames slander. Suffering for doing good becomes a witness when Christ is Lord in our hearts. “God isn't looking for superstars—He's looking for people who say, ‘Lord, here I am. Use me.'” Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from August 17, 2025. - Sunday, August 17, 2025

Genesis 9 | Pastor Greg God restarts humanity with a blessing and a calling: “be fruitful and multiply,” steward creation, and honor the sacredness of life. He widens the diet yet commands reverence for blood—“for the life…is in the blood”—foreshadowing Christ's reconciling sacrifice. The rainbow seals His covenant, inviting fearful hearts to move forward: “You can leave the safety net of the ark and venture out.” Noah's stumble and his sons' responses draw a line between exposing shame and covering in love. This passage shapes a people who value every life made in God's image, practice mercy over mockery, and step into God's world as faithful stewards under His promise.

We kick off 2 Peter with a practical, hope-filled look at what real Christian growth looks like. Peter opens by calling Jesus “our God and Savior,” then prays that grace and peace would be multiplied to us “in the knowledge” (epignosis—lived, experiential knowing) of the Lord. From there, we learn that God's divine power has already given us everything we need for life and godliness and has loaded us with “exceedingly great and precious promises” so we can share in His nature and escape the world's corruption. In response, Peter calls us to make every effort—adding to faith: virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. This message unpacks grace vs. effort (not to be saved, but because we are), how to grow on purpose, and why keeping our eyes on Jesus keeps us from being unfruitful or forgetful of what He's done. Includes a closing invitation to trust Christ. Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from August 10, 2025. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, August 10, 2025

In Acts 2, Peter answers “What is this?” by opening Joel and the Psalms: Jesus is crucified, risen, and Lord, and the promised Spirit is poured out. The gifts are for reaching people—Word-anchored, self-controlled, and fueled by love—not hype. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”: repent (change your mind), be baptized, and receive power to witness.

1 Peter 5:8-14 | Pastor Rick Pastor Rick wraps up his series on 1 Peter by reminding believers that the Christian life is a battle not against flesh and blood but against unseen spiritual forces. Drawing on Peter's call to “be sober, be vigilant,” he outlines how the devil prowls like a “roaring lion” seeking to derail our faith—and shows us how to stand firm with the armor of God, clear self-talk seasoned by Scripture, and a fixed gaze on our eternal hope in Christ. Far from leaving us to fight alone, Peter points us back to the “God of all grace” who promises to perfect, strengthen and settle us through every trial. In this message, Pastor Rick invites listeners to resist fear and doubt, cling to the unshakable foundation of Jesus, and lift up worship to the One who holds the ultimate dominion and know that Jesus has the last word.

Romans 9:1-8 | Pastor Ed In this message Pastor Rick explores Romans 9 by tracing five “tipping points” in God's unfolding plan—Abraham's call, Isaac's birth, Jacob's chosen role, Pharaoh's hardened heart and, ultimately, the coming of Christ. Each example shows that God's promises rest not on human effort, heritage or merit but on His sovereign mercy and purpose. The heart of the sermon invites us to stop relying on our own righteousness, to trust God's gracious calling, and to build our lives on the unshakable foundation of Jesus, through whom the promise is open to all who believe.

In this message Pastor Ed unpacks Roman 8:28–39, showing how “all things work together for good” for everyone who loves God. He traces Paul's chain of grace—calling, justification, and future glorification—revealing that nothing, not even death or hardship, can separate believers from Christ's love. Along the way he tackles the tension between human free will and divine sovereignty, explains the promise of our final “adoption” as God's children, and offers a powerful illustration of unbreakable love.

In this sermon the pastor walks us through Genesis 1–4—creation, the fall, Cain and Abel's tragedy and the godly line of Seth—then turns to Genesis 5 as the genealogy from Adam to Noah. He highlights the recurring “and he died” to underscore how sin brought mortality into the world, with Enoch alone “taken” by God as a foreshadow of resurrection. He surveys several explanations for the unusually long lifespans—perfect pre‑Flood genetics, a different environment, symbolic numbering or dynastic lines—while honestly admitting that the Bible's own intent isn't yet fully clear to him. Finally, he unveils a hidden message woven into the patriarchs' names: “man appointed to mortal sorrow, but the blessed God shall come down, teaching, and his death shall bring strong rest,” pointing us forward to Christ's coming comfort and redemption.

1 Peter 4:12-19 | Pastor Rick In this message, Pastor Rick opens by thanking the church for their support of Vacation Bible School and announcing a baptism service on August 24, then turns to 1 Peter 4:12–19 to teach that as God's beloved we're not exempt from trials but are instead refined by them—much like fire shapes a ring. Using examples from David to Ruth to Jesus, he shows that suffering unites us with Christ and with one another, and that rejoicing in trials isn't a fake optimism but a present, active command rooted in the presence of Christ (not the absence of pain). He reminds us that our future glory in Him gives us confident hope now, warns against suffering for sin or selfishness, and encourages us to trust the Holy Spirit's unfailing power in every hardship. Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from July 20, 2025. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, July 20, 2025

Pastor Greg begins by grounding Acts 2 in Israel's Festival calendar: Jesus was crucified on Passover, laid in the tomb during Unleavened Bread, raised on Firstfruits, and fifty days later—the Feast of Pentecost—the promised Holy Spirit was poured out. He highlights that Jesus told His disciples to “wait” in unified, prayerful expectation for this power from on high.When Pentecost “fully came,” they experienced the sound of a rushing wind and saw tongues of fire resting on each believer, enabling them to speak in languages they'd never learned. Pastor Greg teaches that spiritual gifts—especially tongues—are given for personal strengthening and for building up the body in love, not for selfish display, and that corporate gatherings must be marked by unity, order, and mutual consideration.Finally, Peter stands filled with the Spirit, quotes Joel's prophecy (Joel 2:28–32) to explain what's happening, and calls the crowd to repentance with these words: “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The sermon closes with an invitation to receive Christ's finished work and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

In this message Pastor Greg unpacks Genesis chapter 4, taking us from the first mention of sex in Scripture through the tragic account of Cain and Abel. He contrasts Abel's faith‑filled offering (Hebrews 11:4) with Cain's self‑willed sacrifice, exposing how pride and unchecked anger lead to sin's devastating fallout—even the first murder. Examining Cain's curse, the mark of mercy, and the birth of two rival lineages, Pastor Greg reveals the cascading consequences of calling our own shots. Ultimately, he points us to Christ—the true Lamb of God—whose way of humble obedience restores us to fellowship with our Creator.

In this closing message on 1 Peter, Pastor Rick challenges church leaders and all believers to follow Christ's example of humble, servant‑hearted leadership. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:1–7, he urges “elders” (anyone in a place of influence) to shepherd God's people willingly and eagerly—never lording it over them but leading by example. He then calls everyone, young and old, to “clothe” themselves in humility, submitting to one another under God's mighty hand. Casting our anxieties on the One who cares for us, we learn to trade pride for trust and to await the “crown of glory” that Christ, our chief Shepherd, promises to all who faithfully follow him.

1 Peter 3:18–22 | Pastor Rick Christ Suffered, Christ Substituted, Christ Saved In this encouraging message from 1 Peter 3:18–22, Pastor Rick unpacks a powerful, concise verse that captures the heart of the gospel: “Christ suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.” We see Christ's suffering, His substitution for us, and His saving work — all accomplished through His death and resurrection. Pastor Rick also addresses the debated passage about Jesus preaching to the spirits in prison, reminding us that no matter the details, Christ is always victorious, even in death and in the darkest places. This passage highlights God's patience, our need for grace, and the power of Christ's resurrection. Baptism is explored as an outward declaration of an inward transformation, not what saves us but what boldly displays our faith. Above all, we're reminded that Jesus is not distant from our suffering — He reigns, He is with us, and He draws us toward Him in every season.

1 Peter 3:13–17 | Pastor Rick The Courage to Stand Pastor Rick continues through 1 Peter as we are reminded that following Christ does not guarantee a life free of suffering. Instead, believers are called to sanctify Christ as Lord in their hearts, anchoring their hope in Him even when facing fear, persecution, or opposition. The early church faced intense trials under Nero's reign, yet Peter encourages them — and us — to live with confidence, knowing that God sees, blesses, and strengthens those who suffer for doing good. As we set Christ apart in our hearts, we are called to be ready to gently and respectfully share the hope we have with others.

Romans | Pastor Ed Whose Slave Are You? In this message from Romans 6–7, Pastor Ed unpacks the radical transformation that happens when we surrender to Jesus: we are no longer slaves to sin, but slaves to righteousness. Paul challenges us to consider who we're truly obeying—and reminds us that following Christ isn't about religious rule-keeping, but a new way of living empowered by grace. This passage shows the difference between justification and sanctification, the struggle with our old nature, and the freedom found in becoming a “slave to rightness.” The gospel doesn't just forgive us—it reshapes our desires from the inside out.

Genesis 1:6-25 | Pastor Greg Created to know the Creator In this message from Genesis 1, Pastor Greg reminds us that while the age of the earth is an interesting topic, it's not the point of the passage—or of our faith. Whether someone leans young earth or old earth, the essential truth remains the same: God created everything, and our salvation rests in Jesus Christ. Greg explores how Scripture and nature both declare God's glory, and why we should approach non-essential issues with humility and grace. The focus isn't on debating theories—it's on knowing the Creator and trusting His Word. Packinghouse's Wednesday night worship service from June 04, 2025. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, June 4, 2025

Sanctification - God's Not Through With You Yet Romans 6 confronts a crucial question: if grace abounds where sin increases, should we keep sinning? Paul's answer is a resounding no. In this message, Pastor Ed unpacks what it means to be united with Christ—dead to sin and raised to walk in newness of life. Through the imagery of baptism, he shows that sanctification is a lifelong process: we're no longer comfortable in sin because we've been changed. We may still stumble, but we are not the same. God's grace not only forgives, it transforms. And even when we feel like we've failed, we can say with confidence: “God is not through with me yet.” Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from June 1, 2025. - Ed Rea - Sunday, June 1, 2025

1 Peter 3:1-12 | Pastor Rick God's Blueprint for Marriage In this message from 1 Peter 3:1–7, Pastor Rick unpacks one of the most challenging and misunderstood topics in the Bible: submission in marriage. With humor, honesty, and biblical clarity, he walks through God's design for husbands and wives—not as a hierarchy of control, but as a partnership of mutual honor rooted in Christ. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and even surprising statistics, Pastor Rick challenges both men and women to embrace their roles not for dominance, but for discipleship. In a world where marriage is often broken, God offers a blueprint for restoration—and it starts with surrender to His Word.

Malachi 3 | Pastor Greg Opean The Refiner's Fire and God's Unchanging Love In this study, Pastor Greg walks us through Malachi 3—a powerful chapter marking God's final words before 400 years of silence. We're reminded that Jesus is the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecy, and that His refining work in our lives is not to destroy, but to purify, cleanse, and restore us. He loves us deeply—flaws and all—and His refining fire brings out the reflection of Christ in us. We're also challenged to trust God with our resources, our trials, and our transformation. In the middle of correction, discomfort, or discouragement, God's call remains the same: “Return to Me, and I will return to you.” Whether you're in a season of fire or laughter, this chapter reminds us that we are His jewels—and He's not done with us yet.

Family Sunrise Service 2025 | Pastor Greg Opean The Power of the Resurrection The resurrection of Jesus didn't just change history—it redefined reality. In this Easter message, we explore how the disciples, once confused and afraid, were transformed by the truth of the risen Christ. At first, their hopes were shaped by political frustrations and earthly expectations. But the resurrection opened their eyes to a greater kingdom and a deeper love—one that included not only them, but the very people they had despised. Jesus came not to conquer by force, but to lay down His life for the world. And when He rose from the grave, everything He said was confirmed. The cross made sense. His love made sense. And His lordship became undeniable. This message unpacks how the risen Jesus changes our view of God, our understanding of ourselves, and our calling in the world. When we confess that Jesus is Lord, we align with a truth that brings freedom, purpose, and peace. Packinghouse's Family Sunrise Service from April 20, 2025.
