Mother's Day
Powell Butte Christian Church - May 12, 2024 19:00 - 22 minutesMother’s Day is probably the toughest day of the year to preach.

In the 8 years I have preached here at PBCC, I have not ever preached a Mother’s Day sermon. We have taken ti...

Powell Butte Christian Church - May 05, 2024 19:00 - 21 minutesI have long been fascinated with Western Turkey, and the area of the world where the seven churches of Revelation were located.

Easter Sunday 2024 - History's Greatest Grand Opening
Powell Butte Christian Church - March 31, 2024 19:00 - 44 minutes70% of Americans (or right around that number) believe that Jesus rose from the dead.

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 17, 2024 19:00 - 28 minutesI hope you’re ready today for a doozy! There is a skyscraper in Chicago known as Willis Tower.

BUT, what’s even scarier is...

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 10, 2024 19:00 - 28 minutesFor a variety of reasons, I am excited about this message. Have you ever said this: I can hardly wait to get my hands on that person! I’m pretty sure that’s NOT what the Bible means when it speaks of this “laying on of hands.” But I also am pretty sure that this is one of those really confusin...

Powell Butte Christian Church - March 03, 2024 20:00 - 26 minutesThis morning I want to talk to you about Baptism.

GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) SUBSERIES: FOUNDATIONS - WEEK 3 - FAITH PART 2
Powell Butte Christian Church - February 25, 2024 20:00 - 25 minutesI want to start this morning with a question. Does your faith have any value at all? In other words, once you come to faith in Jesus, does that mean anything? Once I become a follower of Jesus, should there be anything different about what I do with my life? Should there be a different focus f...
GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) SUBSERIES: FOUNDATIONS - WEEK 2 - FAITH PART 1
Powell Butte Christian Church - February 18, 2024 20:00 - 38 minutesThis past week I was doing a lot of thinking and meditation and discussing with other people about the concept of faith. You know, even if you claim to be a person without faith, the fact remains that you have faith in SOMETHING. And you can have 100% of faith in something. Don’t believe me? P...
GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) SUBSERIES: FOUNDATIONS - WEEK 1 - REPENTANCE
Powell Butte Christian Church - February 11, 2024 20:00 - 30 minutesI want to begin by mentioning an important event that will happen this week for many, many churches around the world.

ADVENT 2023 - WEEK 4 - THE KING OF KINGS
Powell Butte Christian Church - December 17, 2023 20:00 - 40 minutesWhat makes a King? Is it merely the title? Some people operate like that. Not great leaders. What makes a King is the power he has AND HOW HE USES THAT POWER… Today’s culture - LOTS of politicized things. Driving a wedge between people, where there doesn’t seem to be much middle ground. There’s...
ADVENT 2023 - WEEK 3 - THE LORD OF LORDS
Powell Butte Christian Church - December 10, 2023 20:00 - 32 minutesToday I want to talk about words. Words are powerful ways to communicate ideas. And some words are beautiful. Majesty. Creation.

GREATER THAN (A STUDY IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS) WEEK 08 - THE MESS AT MASSAH
Powell Butte Christian Church - November 12, 2023 20:00 - 36 minutesQuestion Authority. Ever hear that? It was a mantra of the peaceniks of the 1960s. Free love; peace, love, and dope.

Powell Butte Christian Church - October 29, 2023 19:00 - 30 minutesToday, really is going to be about just one verse - and, really, mainly only one word. It’s a powerful word - but one that I think we don’t fully understand in many Christian circles.

Powell Butte Christian Church - October 01, 2023 19:00 - 25 minutesWhat have the Romans ever given us? What have they ever done for us?
