In this sermon on Colossians 2:6–15, Pastor Luke Herche teaches us how to avoid a Christ-less philosophy of life, exhorting us to walk in Christ with three points: don't get taken in, remember Christ, and build your life upon him. Sunday Morning Worship // June 22, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: How do Paul's command (vv. 6–7), warning (v. 8), and teaching (vv. 9–15) relate to one another? What are the life-philosophies that are “in the air” in our culture? What are some of the dominant ways of life or philosophies of life that we meet in music, media, movies, in our workplaces and neighborhoods, politics and classrooms? What of that is tempting for you? Where might you have blind spots to the philosophy-not-according-to-Christ of this age? Perhaps ask others to delicately help you with this question! What will it look like to allow your life to be shaped by a life-philosophy that is according to Christ? Meaning both: 1.) How will that happen? 2.) What will that look like in your circumstances? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

Natasha: According to the judicial commission's report, Parsons' trial was held between May 12 and 28 and included over 55 witnesses and 45 hours of proceedings.

The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair Sunday, June 8, 2025 Sermon: "You Need to Fill Up! We All Do!" Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-13 Pastor Greg Horn Lizzie Valle, liturgist

Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on Colossians 1:21–23, showing us that the hope of the gospel enables us to persevere in faith because it changes our identity, not just the rules; it gives us confidence in Christ, not our circumstances; and it calls us to holiness, not complacency.

What is a challenge that you are facing in your life at the moment? How do you see the truth of the gospel help you in the midst of that? How does Paul encourage the Colossians to persevere? How does that encourage you as well? How do you see the fruit of reconciliation in your life?

Program Director Adam Borneman speaks with the Rev. Dr. David Shelor (First Presbyterian, Dunedin, FL) and two of his congregants, Dr. Robin Rose and David Bramley, about their church's historic ties to the community; their recent intentional efforts to listen closely to the broader community; and how those efforts are leading them to think about ministry in new ways.

Many people have a small view of Christ. Some are skeptical of his existence, while others believe he was merely a good person, a religious leader, or a prophet. Even some Christians who believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord, but go no deeper, have a conception of Jesus that is too small. In Colossians 1:15–20 the apostle Paul calls us to meditate on the deep things of God, on the deep structure of reality—to meditate on Christ. In a passage where every phrase is bursting with significance, Pastor Luke Herche summarizes what we see under three declarations about the glory of God: He is the image of God, over all creation. He is the fullness of God, the reconciler of all creation. He is the head of the church, the beginning of the new creation. Sunday Morning Worship // June 1, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are various views of Jesus...that are too small? What are they missing? What is Jesus in relation to creation, redemption, and the church? Why do you think it is important to have a big understanding of the bigness of Jesus? What happens when we have a small view? How can we remedy that? What do others need to know about the bigness of Jesus, and how can we show them that in the way we live our lives? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair Sunday, June 1, 2025 Sermon: "Make No Apologies for the Resurrection" Scriptures: Psalm 2, Matthew 22:23-40 Millie Tourtelot, Director of Christian Education Joanne Bowman, liturgist

In 1868 Pope Pius IX issued a call to those who, in his words, 'glory in the name of Christian, yet do not profess the true faith of Christ, nor hold to and follow the Communion of the Catholic Church.' He wanted them to submit to and join with the Catholic church, and hoped that the forthcoming First Vatican Council would catalyse this. Grasping the need for a concise and clear response, grounded in the biblical teaching recovered by the Reformers, Princeton theologian Charles Hodge penned a letter on behalf of the two General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church in the USA. His explanation of the non-attendance of Protestant clergy at 'Vatican I' is helpful to us as the Pope and the Catholic Church once again loom large in the headlines.   Featured Resources: – Charles Hodge, 'Letter to Pope Pius IX', as re-published in the Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 415 (April 1998). – W.

On this episode of "The Inside Story," The Christian Post's Jon Brown breaks down a surprising drama unfolding inside the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) after a leader in the denomination displayed a list of people he publicly accused of being "scandalizers.""During an episode of The Gospel Coalition's 'Gospelbound' podcast last week that touched on institutional stewardship, the Rev. Bryan Chapell, who has served as the administrative head of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) since 2020, briefly showed a list of people whom he accused of either abandoning their families, renouncing Jesus Christ or dying by suicide," Brown wrote.Furor and frustration immediately followed when viewers were able to zoom in and read the list of names. Some of those listed have since spoken up in shock and awe that they were included, denying the aforementioned claims. Listen to Brown explain the whole story and read more here.

The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair Sunday, May 18, 2025 Sermon: "Sneetches on Beaches" Scriptures: Psalm 148, Acts 11:1-18 Pastor Greg Horn 

In the spring, it is amazing to see the world teeming with new life. There is something about fruitfulness and beauty and growth that draws out a human heart. Paul has this focus in the book of Colossians. In his introductory verses, Paul overflows with thanksgiving and prayer. We see his joy at the fruit of the gospel evident in the lives of the Colossians—the fruit of faith in Christ Jesus and of love for all the saints. Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo preaches on Colossians 1:1–8, showing us that because of our hope in the truth we can bear the fruit of faith and love.

Take note as you read: How do you see faith, love, and hope appear in the epistle? What would you say is the content of the hope for the Christian? How have you seen the truth of the gospel impact your growth in faith and love for others? What are things that challenge our faith here in Champaign-Urbana, and how does the truth help us to stand firm in the midst of them? How does the truth of the gospel help inform our relationships?

And where is it found? Sunday Morning Worship, May 11, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: Read through the book of Colossians aloud (this will likely take 15–20 minutes).

How do you see people around you pursuing personal maturity or wholeness? Where does this succeed? Where does it fall short? Read again Colossians 1:24–2:3, 6–7.

In this episode of the Westminster Effects Doxology Podcast, Cory Wing joins us for a deep discussion about the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), focusing on the rigorous processes of licensure and ordination, the roles of ruling and teaching elders, and the educational requirements for church leadership. We explore the governance structure of the PCA, emphasizing the importance of church polity and the responsibilities of elders within the church community. The conversation also touches on the challenges and pressures faced by those pursuing ordination and the need for effective church governance. In this conversation, we delve into the complexities of church governance before transitioning into a deep exploration of sacraments, particularly baptism and communion, examining their theological implications and the practices surrounding them in different traditions. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these elements in the life of the church and the personal experiences that shape their views.

What is the relationship between your faith and your imagination? In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:35–58, Pastor Luke Herche encourages us to strengthen our faith by feeding our imagination. Listen as Pastor Luke helps us to consider the future that God has in mind for us--and to see how that helps us to live in the present--via three points: the body will be raised, death will be defeated, and your labor is not in vain. Sunday Morning Worship, May 4, 2025 ------------------------------- Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions: What are some different ways one might imagine a resurrection body? Which of those ideas are grounded in Scripture and where? What might be the danger of not believing/confessing the resurrection of the body? How might that shape our view of the body and this present life? What does Paul emphasize about the resurrection body? What questions are not answered by what Paul says? Can you think of other places in Scripture that might speak to that? When has your work felt vain, fruitless, meaningless? How does our future resurrection give weight to our present labor? If you believe that, how do you think it would change the way you work? What can you do to get to that point? ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

In this Best Of episode, we revisit our conversation with Tim Alberta, the author of the profoundly disturbing book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,” which was released before the 2024 election. In this interview, he explains how evangelicals have been turned into a political tool for the Republican Party. Alberta grew up in the evangelical wing of The Presbyterian Church and watched as they turned their backs on him after he criticized Donald Trump. How did The Evangelical Church turn so far towards right wing politics? What exactly is an Evangelical? How can those voters ever be won back?Read Tim's work in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/tim-alberta/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
