"Looking for the Fourth Man" In this message, Pastor Michael Petillo challenges us to consider whether we are truly living in the fullness of what God has made available to us through Christ. Looking at Psalm 78 and the warning that Israel “limited the Holy One of Israel,” Pastor Michael reminds us that while we cannot limit God’s power, we can limit what He reveals through our lives when we refuse to trust Him. Using the story of the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace, Pastor Michael paints a powerful picture of what it means to live with unwavering confidence in God. The fourth man did not appear when everything was comfortable—He appeared in the fire. In the same way, our greatest trials can become opportunities for others to see the goodness, power, and presence of Jesus through us. Pastor Michael gives us two important tests for recognizing whether we are limiting God: Are we walking in the assurance of His love and presence? And are we able to rest in His all-sufficiency? Through the Holy Spirit, God desires to make His presence real to us, giving us peace, hope, strength, and confidence even when circumstances are difficult. The message ultimately calls us to look back at everything God has already done, remember His faithfulness, and mix what we have heard with faith. When we truly believe that God loves us, is for us, and will be everything we need in every season, we begin to live in a way that allows the world around us to see the “Fourth Man” in the fire.

The Ache God Calls Good Join us for this week’s sermon with Pastor Michael Petillo, as we explore the biblical foundation for meaningful spiritual friendship and the role it plays in the life of a believer. Through Acts 20 and 21, Pastor Michael examines the relationships Paul pursued as he approached a season of imprisonment and persecution. Despite his extraordinary spiritual experiences, ministry, and calling, Paul understood the importance of seeking out fellow believers for encouragement, prayer, and fellowship. His example reveals that the desire for deep Christian friendship is not a sign of weakness or immaturity, but an ache God calls good. This message explores the intentional nature of spiritual friendship, the meaning of koinonia, and the responsibility each believer has to cultivate genuine connection within the body of Christ. We are challenged to share our feelings, our resources, our faith, and our decisions with others, recognizing that spiritual growth often takes place through the relationships God has placed around us. Pastor Michael also reflects on how God used a close pastor friend to bring courage and renewed joy during a difficult season, reminding us that the Lord can minister to us through the people we have invested in and walked alongside. As we consider what it means to be part of the church, this message calls us to move beyond simply seeking connection and begin intentionally building the friendships that strengthen our faith and encourage others. Rather than waiting for someone else to make us feel connected, we are invited to become the connection someone else may be praying for. Pray for a deeper understanding of God’s design for spiritual friendship and fellowship. Pray for the willingness to invest time, sacrifice, and vulnerability into meaningful relationships within the body of Christ. Pray for courage to share your feelings, faith, and decisions with trusted believers who can encourage and challenge you. Pray that our church would be a place of genuine koinonia, where believers grow together in Christ, serve one another, and carry each other’s burdens. Pray that God would help you become the connection someone else has been praying for.

Pastor Michael Petillo takes us back to God’s Word to talk about one of the most important places we can prepare for the changes ahead: our marriages. Using the picture of the wilderness tabernacle and the extra boards God commanded Moses to use at the corners, Pastor Michael reminds us that turning points are vulnerable places that need reinforcement. In the same way, our marriages need to be strengthened before the pressure comes. Through Ephesians 5, we’re reminded that a healthy, God-honoring marriage doesn’t begin with getting our spouse to change—it begins with allowing the Holy Spirit to deal with our own self-centeredness. Real love, humility, and submission aren’t natural to us. They require the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Pastor Michael challenges married couples, future couples, and really all of us to stop making our spouse’s flaws the main issue and start taking responsibility for our own. When we learn to put the good of the other person ahead of ourselves, we create the kind of marriage that can stand strong even when everything around us is changing. Marriage has the power to set the course of our lives and our calling. If we’re heading into a turn, now is the time to reinforce it.

Pastor Michael Petillo looks at the way God designed the tabernacle to be reinforced at its points of transition and draws a powerful connection to our families. In seasons of change, the places that matter most need reinforcement. In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks the biblical command to honor our parents and explains why honor is so much more than obedience, agreement, or having a close relationship. Honor is a choice to treat someone with dignity and consideration—even when there are disagreements, disappointments, or complicated family history. Through practical examples and a very honest story about his own relationship with his father, Pastor Michael shows how choosing honor can begin to break down walls and bring healing to relationships. He also challenges us to recognize the ways our parents need to “see themselves” in us and to understand that forgiveness becomes possible when we stop expecting our parents to give us what only God can provide. If your family needs a little reinforcement, this message is a great reminder that honor can strengthen what has been weakened, restore what has been strained, and help us experience the kind of freedom that comes from knowing we are fully loved by our Heavenly Father.
