You were not made to drift through life as if everything revolves around you, but you were also not made to fade into the background. Christianity holds both truths in tension: you carry infinite value in God's sight, and yet you are called to deny yourself and live for something greater. In Ephesians 4, Paul urges believers to live worthy of the calling they have received, a calling that carries the weight of a royal summons from God Himself. That calling is lived out through humility, gentleness, patience, and a genuine commitment to the unity of the body of Christ. Every believer has been individually gifted by God, not to elevate themselves, but because someone else needs what they carry. The ministry does not belong only to pastors and teachers. It belongs to every person in the body. When you hold back your gift, there is a gap in the body of Christ where you were meant to be. You were called to something bigger than yourself, and that calling is worth everything it requires.

What if the interruption in front of you is actually the beginning of a miracle? In this message, Pastor Steve leads us through Matthew 9 to show how Jesus never saw people as distractions. Instead, He embraced interruptions as opportunities for God to move. As we look at Jesus' encounters with a grieving father and a woman in need of healing, we're challenged to see our own interruptions differently—and to recognize that God may be using them to reach the people He's placed in our lives. You'll learn how to: See interruptions as opportunities instead of inconveniences. Notice the people God has placed right in front of you. Trust that your next conversation might be the beginning of a miracle. Every miracle begins with an interruption. The question is: Will you be ready when God interrupts your plans?

The Bible clearly teaches that God is good, and there is nothing evil in Him at all (Jas 1:17), so when we come across a passage that seems to suggest He is responsible for hardening a person's heart, we naturally find the idea troubling. It reopens the question of God's character. Is He pure goodness, or does He have a dark side? Could He be responsible for causing a person's stubborn disobedience, or is it our own choices that cause this? We need an answer because these two views of Him actually represent two different Gods. Can I trust that everything He does is good? Can I run to Him with any problem and assume His will is to save and restore? The statement that "He hardens whom He desires" raises this troubling issue.

God plays by the same rules He sets for us. When He created and ordered the universe, He established not only physical laws; He also established moral laws. And His moral laws are absolute and unchanging because they express His unchanging character. God isn't simply asking us to behave a certain way. He's asking us to become like Him. This means that right and wrong are standards which apply not merely to us, but to God Himself. He is not above His own moral laws, but, of course, He has a vastly different perspective from ours. Some people when reading this passage assume Paul is warning us that we dare not question God on matters of justice. After all, they say, He is God, so He can do anything He wants, and the way in which they say this seems to mean He can't be held to the same moral standards to which He holds everybody else. But if that were true, He would be a tyrant. Tyrants are people who do what they want because they have so much power no one can stop them. Tyrants answer to no standards at all beyond their own desires. But the Bible pictures God very differently. It reveals a deity completely consistent with His own standards because they express His eternal character. So let's listen again to Paul's words and this time hear him call us to trust God, to drop our defenses and rest in His arms even when we don't understand what He is doing.

Have you lost your appetite for God? Pastor Steve explains that unless you deal with five deadly sins in your life, you will never truly desire the Word of God. Join us today as we open 1 Peter 2:1–3 and learn how to put aside what kills your hunger and cultivate a fresh longing for His truth.

Does God love all humans and want to save them, or does He love certain ones and hate others? This portion of chapter nine which we are reading today is a central passage to which people will turn to "prove" that God chooses who will or will not be saved. According to that doctrine, the most important truth to emphasize about God is His sovereignty, meaning His control of everything. It is assumed that if humans have any choice in the matter of their eternal destiny, then God isn't totally sovereign. So repentance is renounced as a basis for salvation because it involves the human will making a choice. Even faith in Christ is discounted. This doctrine says faith is something God gives to a person only after He regenerates them, meaning after He places His Holy Spirit inside them. Those who teach this say it is wrong to think a person can choose to believe the gospel. We don't choose God; He chooses us, they say. This makes grace all the sweeter, they say. And on what basis, you might ask, does God choose one person but not another? The answer, they say, is found in this passage of Romans. After all, God loved Jacob but hated Esau before the twins were born or had "done anything good or bad" (v11). So there you have it, they say, the decision of who will or will not be saved is determined by God before we are born. And if you take this passage out of its context, you can indeed make it say that. But the God you end up with is very different from the loving Father Jesus reveals to us. And the conclusion you draw is very different from Paul's own conclusion at the end of the chapter (vs30-33). Though all of this may sound like a pointless theological debate, what's at stake is nothing less than the character of God. These two views of Him are so different they really present two different Gods.

When we're at rock bottom because of our sin, do we run from God or turn to God? Join us as Pastor Steve continues our series BC (Finding Jesus in the Old Testament).

Paul opens this new section of his letter to the Romans with a revelation about himself so shocking he feels the need to assure them he is not lying or self-deceived. He says, "I am telling the truth in Christ," meaning he is conscious that Jesus will judge the truthfulness of what he is saying (Gal 1:20). Then he adds that both his human conscience and the Holy Spirit within him bear witness it's true. And what is this revelation about himself that needs such confirmation for us to believe it? It is that he lives in a constant state of grief over Judaism's widespread rejection of Christ. He says his compassion for his brethren is so strong it led him to do the unthinkable. There had been times when he tried to bargain with God on their behalf asking that whatever curse had fallen on Judaism be transferred to him so they would again be given mercy. If it could be done (which it can't), he would have willingly forfeited his own eternal life in order to save his "brothers," his "kinsmen according to the flesh." His literal words are, "For I was praying myself to be accursed (anathema) from Christ on behalf of my brothers...." Knowing how confident he was of eternal life (Ac 9:3-8; 2Co 12:1-4; Php 1:21-24), the thought that he would even consider such an exchange Is breathtaking. Few of us love even family members to this degree, let alone our persecutors.

INDEPENDENCE DAY: 250 Years of the USA Steve Parrish ‭‭Join us as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, with a word and history lesson from Pastor Steve!

Paul pictures someone in Rome responding to his gospel this way: "As I listen to you, I hear you assuring me that God has provided all the resources I need to live a life that pleases God, but I'm such a weak person, and the forces that want to pull me away from Him are so strong that I don't feel confident that I'll make it to heaven. Paul, you sound so sure of your salvation. You talk like you already have it. Why are you so confident?" In this magnificent passage Paul tells us why he's so confident and why we should be too. He shows us how to answer the doubts that come to erode the inner certainty that we are, and will stay, saved. Whether these doubts arise from the devil or our own flesh, every Christian remains painfully aware that we continue to sin and wonders whether God's patience with us has run out. And we also wonder how we would respond if faced with severe persecution. So nagging doubts try to pursue us. Have I sinned so much that when I stand before Him at the judgment He will find me guilty? Am I so weak that sooner or later the hardships of persecution will break down my resolve until I deny Him? Is it possible that someday I might encounter demonic forces powerful enough to tear me away from Him? In these nine verses Paul raises and answers six questions that sooner or later every Christian will ask. He tells us what to say when the winds of self-doubt and condemnation blow.

Pastor Dave and Pastor Steve reflect on what Jesus teaches us about leadership, humility, and seeing the dignity in every person. They explore how simple acts of service can reveal God's love and transform our relationships.

Pastor Steve's Sermon from 7/5/26:  "The Way of Love: In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us." Scripture Reading: John 13:1-17

In these verses and in the chapters ahead of us, Paul shows us the mind of God. It's as though he had lifted us up into the heavenlies to observe the world from the perspective of eternity. As we read, time drops away, and all history lies before us, and we watch as God sets into motion His plan to save broken, sinful people and transform them until they become like His Son. Before we ever existed, God knew us. He saw who would repent and come to Him by faith and who would not. And for those He knew would come He laid out a plan for their lives... before they were born. This concept of God's foreknowledge is confusing for many. There are those who assume it to mean God even decided who will and who won't repent and believe, which, if that were true, would mean that humans have no part to play in deciding their eternal destiny. Some are chosen for heaven, and the rest are abandoned to an eternity apart from God. But one need only read carefully what Paul says in these chapters of Romans (9-11) to see that God never takes that freedom away. In fact, He remains always ready to forgive and restore even those who stubbornly reject Him (Ro 9:30-32; 10:3; 9-13; 11:19-23, 32). But though God does not take away our freedom to choose Him, neither does He stand by passively and merely watch as our lives unfold. He is actively at work in our lives long before a prayer of surrender is ever prayed. He sets His grace upon us even before we've been conceived in the womb. You might say we who are "foreknown" have always belonged to Him.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 7/05/26 by Pastor Steve Shields When you’re off kilter, something’s gotta change. Listen as Pastor Steve goes through Psalm 32. Three signs that maybe something’s gotta change. You feel a holy dissatisfaction. You don’t feel right about yourself. You feel like avoiding God. Where is this off-kilter-ness coming from? The Hand of God. Our own spiritual awareness. A reluctance to receive God’s redemptive proclamation. How do you pursue the change you need? Talk with God about the change. Trust God for deliverance. Share your experience with others. Resist the lies about God’s trustworthiness. The essence of faith is trust. Live with a heart in tune with God’s.

Pastor Steve continued The Path series this Sunday by showing how wisdom leads us into honest self-awareness as we follow after the humility of Christ.

Are you being controlled, intimidated, or threatened by the fear of man? In this bold message, Pastor Steve exposes how the fear of man operates as a snare — trying to control you relationally, intimidate you socially, and threaten you physically — and shows you how to break free through radical obedience to God. From the powerful story in Acts 5, discover:- Why the apostles chose to obey God rather than men- How to exercise your faith without compromise- The boldness that comes when Jesus is your ultimate defender- How to stand strong when culture pressures you to conformWhat has the fear of man been holding you back from? It's time to break free.

Continuing in our sermon series, "History Lessons," Pastor Steve covers the book of Ruth. It shows God working faithfully through ordinary events, even when He seems silent. The story takes place during the dark days of the judges, and it begins with Naomi losing her husband and sons and returning to Bethlehem bitter and empty. Nevertheless, God is quietly at work. Ruth, Naomi's daughter-in-law, stays loyal to Naomi and commits herself to Naomi's God. God uses Ruth's ordinary faithfulness to turn Naomi's emptiness to fullness, and all of it works to become a part of God's eternal plan.

The word "elect" sounds cold and doctrinal, and it certainly has been used that way. The way some people use the term it refers to those few, happy, dare I say "lucky" souls who have been arbitrarily picked by God for salvation based on absolutely nothing in their lives. Those who teach this type of election say it is a wonderfully comforting doctrine that assures the "elect" that they did nothing to earn their salvation. But the picture of God it presents is very different from the Person we see when we look at Jesus or listen to His passionate calls to come to Him to be saved. The God He shows us is a loving God who longs to save all who will come to Him. On this episode, from a passage containing many important theological terms, we're going to look at two: we'll focus on the word which is translated here as "elect" and then on the word "called." When we're done, we'll find a beautiful and remarkable picture of God emerges–not a God who arbitrarily chooses to save one and ignore another, but a great-saving, promise-keeping God who loved us before the worlds were made.

Trauma can be a one-time event or a cumulation of crisis events – but most leaders ignore the symptoms that lead to post traumatic stress. In this conversation, Phil Cooke https://philcooke.com sits down with Steve Robinson, pastor of Church of the King in New Orleans, to talk about his book, "Soul Leadership: Rebound from Crisis, Grow in Resilience, Live from Wholeness." Based on Steve's personal journey of healing after a meltdown, this interview will help leaders struggling with mental health and emotional trauma to find the pathway to recovery through the integration of theology, therapy and neural science.  If you're dealing with stress, trauma, crisis, and adversity, you'll find out how to experience post traumatic growth and weather the challenges of leadership with more resiliency.  "When you're tired, you take a nap. When you're traumatized and your brain has actually been restructured by constant pressure and stress, there's a different pathway to recovery." —Steve Robinson, Pastor, Church of the King

The road to the promised land travels through a wilderness of suffering. And there's no getting away from that reality. We aren't in heaven yet. This planet is still cursed, and our bodies are still dying, so indeed suffering in one form or another comes to all of us – not because we've done something wrong, or because God has failed to protect us, but simply because we aren't home yet. We're travelers, sojourners, strangers dwelling for a season in a harsh land and enduring along with everyone else the sufferings of that troubled place. Yes, God provides much protection, but He gives us no promise we won't suffer, in fact we're assured we will. In these last few chapters of Romans (6-8), Paul has been teaching on the spiritual realities that take place inside a person, but here at the end of this discussion he turns our attention outward and shows us the fallen world in which we live. He wants us to face reality boldly. Though glorious changes take place inside every believer and an amazing future is waiting for us all, we still wake up day after day in the “wilderness” of this present age, so he needs to teach us some foundational truths so we can walk this path victoriously.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 6/28/26 by Pastor Steve Shields. There are times that we question is this all there is. We are still thirsty for something more. Listen as Pastor Steve goes through John 4:5-29 and looks at the thirst that we have in life.

The book of Judges presents us with a repeated cycle: Israel sins, God disciplines them, they cry out, and God shows mercy by raising up a judge to deliver them. Joshua's generation didn't fully obey God's command to remove pagan influences from the land. As a result, they turned to idols, suffered under their enemies, and repeatedly needed rescue. Hope isn't lost, however. In this sermon, Pastor Steve demonstrates that while the judges were flawed deliverers whom God used to show mercy, their weakness points forward to the need for a perfect Deliverer--Jesus--who saves not just from earthly enemies, but from sin and death forever!

God had a special goal in mind when He created the human race. It was no accident that we were made "in His image" (Ge 1:26,27), rational, spiritual beings who exist forever after begin conceived, persons who share enough of His personhood to interact with Him as friends. His great, loving heart wanted a bigger family–not because He needed us, as though somehow He were incomplete without us, but simply because He desired to share His love more broadly. After all, the fellowship between Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one of perfect unity and love, so He wasn't lonely. Yet His most essential characteristic is love, and love rejoices to love more, to delight in the unique beauty of each person and let them delight in Him.

Pastor Steve's Summer of Prayer message, “The Prayer That Changes Everything,” focused on how prayer transforms our lives and aligns us with God's will. He emphasized that prayer is more than asking — it's a conversation with our Father, rooted in intimacy and obedience. Using examples from Scripture, including David and the Lord's Prayer, he encouraged believers to surrender daily, seek God's presence with expectation, and engage in personal encounters that bring breakthrough, provision, and spiritual clarity. The message called the Church to a lifestyle of continual prayer, obedience, and holy alignment with God's heart.

I would be surprised if anyone could grow up in this sinful world without emotional scars. There's too much cruelty, selfishness, lust, anger and fear to escape. And even those who do grow up in a safe family sooner or later engage the larger society, and the damage begins. Not only are we wounded when bad things are done to us, but we also end up wounded when we do bad things to others. As the years pass, we become both victim and perpetuator. There are people we need to forgive, but there are also people from whom we need to beg forgiveness. And through it all our subconscious mind is recording everything. Even if we succeed in driving these thoughts out of our conscious mind, they don't disappear. They merely go "underground." And the passing of time doesn't heal the damage either. A lifetime can go by with the scars of childhood or youth still influencing a personality as if they happened yesterday. So we end up carrying around toxic memories that seep their poison into our feelings, attitudes, thoughts and emotions, though we're unaware it's happening. A reaction today is actually a reaction to something that happened long ago. Fear, low self-esteem, depression, anger, sexual vulnerability, shame, greed, lying, etc. often have a root that's buried in the soil of the past. And toxic memories accumulate so it's possible to end up with so many we are unable to find peace.

My flesh has a mind of its own, and becoming a Christian does not stop the flow of thoughts coming out of that mind. Sadly, it keeps generating bad attitudes, passions and images as long as I live. The good news is it won't be there after I'm resurrected into my new body. The bad news is I'll have to learn to cope with it and silence its voice day by day and moment by moment for the rest of my life or until Jesus comes again. Facing the prospect of this lifelong struggle Is not pleasant, but if I refuse to acknowledge this truth, I'll never live in the freedom God has promised. Over and over again in this passage Paul confrasts two minds: the "mind of the flesh" and the "mind of the spirit" and then appeals to us to follow one and warns us of the danger of following the other. In order to do this, I first have to learn to distinguish between the two and recognize which is talking to me at the moment. One always lures me back to slavery and tries to damage whatever or whoever I'm dealing with. The other calls me to draw closer to Him and to listen and trust. When you describe it this way the choice seems easy. Of course I want to follow the mind of the spirit, but in actual practice, it's not easy at all, especially at first. It requires faith. It requires humility. It requires diligence... day by day and moment by moment. And that's hard work until It becomes a habit. But if I accept the responsibility to govern my flesh and consistently redirect the attention of my mind back to the Spirit, then I actually discover God's will for my life, and with it the greatest blessing of all: that everyday I can walk beside Jesus.
