Teachings And Lectures From Park Hill Church

Invitation to Love
From our series "Acts." Paul finds himself in Athens, surrounded by idols. The idols make him angry—but not for reasons we might think. Paul knows that idol worship leads to the dehumanization of the idol worshiper. And he's deeply grieved at how much this dehumanization is happening in this city. But instead of condemnation, Paul gets curious. Instead of irrational anger, Paul engages people with invitational curiosity. And his hearers experience the love of God.

Better Than an Open Door
From our series "Acts." What are we praying for when we ask God to "open doors" for us? Do we really know? What does an open door from God look like? And should we walk through every open door, even if it really is opened by God? Not according to Paul in Acts 16. This fascinating story lights the way. Apparently, it's about something far better than any open door we could ever ask for—and it's available to everyone who trusts in Jesus. It's all about loving the person right in front of you.

Everyone Belongs in God's Family
From our series "Acts." Who belongs in God's family? This is the question that prompted the very first church conference which we read about in Acts 15. Certain Jewish Christians were telling Gentile Christians they had to essentially become Jewish to be saved and belong at the table of Jesus. But Paul, Barnabas, Peter and James disagree. This family is for everyone, regardless of background, who repents of their sin and calls upon Jesus as King. This is a message of radical inclusion, open to all who confess Jesus as Lord exclusively. This message has huge implications for us today as a church in a time of extreme polarization and division.

Joy that Lasts through the Highs and Lows
From our series "Acts." Matthieu Rouffet unpacks the turbulent story of Acts 14. Paul and Barnabas experience both extreme highs and extreme lows on their journey. But somehow, they manage to remain in a state of joy. How is this possible? Could the same Holy Spirit that empowered their joy be available to us?
-
We Want to See Jesus
From our series "Acts." Aleah Pursley walks us through Acts 13 and the Apostle Paul's first recorded sermon, which is a stunning vision of the Risen Jesus.
-
The Politics of Jesus
From our series "Acts." As the first half of Acts comes to an end, Luke (author of Acts) highlights the dramatic conflict between the kingdoms of the earth and the kingdom of God. While human governments and politicians vie for temporary power, the true King of kings and President of presidents is and will always be a slain Lamb on a throne at the center of the universe who reigns over every human nation of the world. What does this mean for how Christians should engage in human politics? Acts 12 lights the way.
Customer Reviews
A place to call home
I couldn’t be more grateful to live in proximity to this church community and to have called it our home church for the past 5 years. If you grew up in the church you will most likely be refreshed and encouraged by the messages and the way community is modeled here. Community, commitment to scripture, hospitality and discipleship are core values here. The longer you come the more challenged you will be to dig down and create roots with others. This is truly a place where you can live out your walk with Jesus, grow in your faith and witness a model of church that is worth trusting and pouring into.
A Church Evolved
I’m so incredibly thankful for Park Hill and these podcasts. Not long ago, I hit rock bottom in my spirituality and became disillusioned w the church. The leaders at Park Hill are evolving the way things are done in a very refreshing way. They acknowledge today’s challenges and realities and make sense of them in light of the scriptures. To witness minds like theirs pave this path has been immeasurably encouraging and helpful in restoring my faith in the church.
A church that stands out
I recently started attending Park Hill church and am so impressed. Each sermon packs a punch and is so relevant to living a Christ-like life in the current challenging modern times. I feel so encouraged every week. The podcast is the best resource, especially because I’m not always able to attend service, or if I want to reflect even further on a past weeks message.
