Park Hill Church Podcast

Each year during Advent, the global church thinks deeply about what it means to live in the hope, peace, joy, and love of God. So this year, Park Hill Church is hosting three conversations with key leaders from our broader community. For week three "Joy", Evan Wickham sits down with Dan and Alexis Braga, pastors of Neighbors Church, to discuss how to live in such a way that we receive the maximum amount of joy that God wants for our lives (and he wants a lot!). 

From our series "Advent." On Advent Joy Sunday, we look to the Proverbs for wisdom on how to maximize our joy. In this ancient proverb, we find a lady who has been calling out to us from before the beginning of time. She knows the way to true happiness. She wants us to follow her. She is the personification of wisdom itself. And at Christmastime, we remind ourselves that the metaphor became a reality when the wisdom of God entered our world through Mary's womb. The question is, will we choose to trust the God who become flesh, even when it doesn't make sense? If so, we will arrive at joy that truly lasts.

Participate in the 2024 CHRISTMAS GIFT.  From our series "Advent." There's a special word in the Bible for the peace that every soul longs for. It's the word "shalom." Shalom/peace is so much more than simply the absence of drama and conflict. When shalom comes, there is a thick presence and fulfillment of goodness, and healed relationships, and restored lives. Don't you long for that? In our day of division and disunity, shalom seems almost too good to be true. But according to Psalm 91, God's shalom is readily available to whoever chooses to dwell in the shelter of the Almighty. Apparently, no matter your circumstances, deep and abiding peace is moving toward everyone thorugh Jesus Christ. The question is, will we prepare him room? 

Participate in the 2024 CHRISTMAS GIFT.  Each year during Advent, the global church thinks deeply about what it means to live in the hope, peace, joy, and love of God. So this year, Park Hill Church is hosting these conversations with key leaders within our community. For week one "Hope", Evan Wickham sits down with Matt Pursley to discuss what it looks like to live in the true hope God promises to all his children. In our troubled, uncertain times, how can we live with real hope? Matt Pursley provides some powerful insights. 

For our series "Advent." Pastor Matt Pursley shows us what hope is, why hope more than wishful thinking, and how authentic hope is always hereditary. As God's family chooses to trust in God's promises together in committed community, the result is a non-despairing, true-and-living hope that lasts for generations. 

On Christ the King Sunday, Park Hill is honored to host guest speaker Dr. David Bennett. David is the author of the acclaimed book “A War of Loves: The Unexpected Story of a Gay Activist Discovering Jesus.” In this teaching, David shares his powerful story with our community.

As human beings, we find ourselves caught in the middle of a massive war. This war is not between political parties or ideological tribes, but between the very real dominion of satan and the unstoppable kingdom of the living God revealed in Jesus. As Jesus followers, we believe we belong to the side that will inevitably win the war, even as we continue to actively fight against satan’s power in our world. But how do we fight? What does spiritual warfare look like practically? Dr. Breshears unpacks it all in this incredible teaching.

From our series "Acts." As the book of Acts concludes, we see the Apostle Paul under house arrest, yet described as 'unhindered' by the power of God. What if the circumstances that feel like weaknesses are actually where we encounter the presence and strength of God?

From our series “Acts.” As the book of Acts draws to a close, the Apostle Paul goes through a series of unfortunate events which turn out for the salvation and healing of many. What if our places of greatest wounding could become the sources of greatest healing for others, if only we would fully trust those wounds to Jesus?

From our series “Acts.” In the final chapters of this book, we learn incredibly important lessons about how to deal with our pain as followers of Jesus. Paul the Apostle is suffering greatly. He is unjustly incarcerated for years, beaten, abused, and publicly shamed. But Paul chooses joy in the middle of pain as he witnesses to the goodness of Jesus at every turn.
