Prairie Hills Covenant Church

His story of conversion is one of the most dramatic in history. For Saul, the Persecutor of Christians, to turn 180 degrees to become Paul, the Apostle of Jesus, could only happen by the transforming power of God. This Sunday, we are going to take a journey with Saul to Damascus, and, Lord willing, we will end up going a whole new, spiritually transformed direction.

The question is, how do we show the love of Christ to people who are not like us; people whose backgrounds, thinking and lifestyle are completely outside of our understanding and experience? This subject is potentially the most important question we need to be answering as a church. Make sure you are here on Sunday!

Stephen was the first recorded martyr as a follower of Jesus. His story sets the stage for the Tsunami of persecution that is about to envelop the first century church. We will explore how these giant waves can still be felt today.

The integrity of what we say and what we do are important to God. As we explore the foolishness of Ananias and Sapphira, we will also test the integrity of our own words and actions.

We are confronted this week with a powerful word picture of God’s transforming work in our lives. The East Gate into Jerusalem has profound significance in both history and prophecy. When Peter and John encounter a lame beggar at the gate, something extraordinary happens that still resonates for us today.

The Apostle Peter is known for being a bold, quick to action, prone to putting his foot in his mouth kind of guy. Today we are going to ponder the sermon he gave right after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Peter is true to form and calls us to get right with God when we are standing on the wrong side of history.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. It is the remembrance of the day when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the followers of Jesus. What was once whispered in secret was now boldly preached in the streets. Those who before felt powerless now were powerful. Jesus' Spirit is with us too to comfort, guide and empower us to change the world!

This Sunday, we’re going to ask the question, “How do we know the will of God?” Our text is a strange story that takes place between the ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. For anyone who has ever wondered about the mystery of God’s will, you will want to be here!

There are a lot of subjects in the Bible that are difficult to understand. One of the most difficult is the necessity of a sacrifice for sin. This Sunday, we will unpack a tightly packed subject to better understand why God has such strict requirements and what that means for us.

The subject of grace is the most powerful, most significant truth of God's love for us. Grace is not earned nor deserved yet, we are given it while we are still sinners. Be here on Sunday to bathe in the Grace of God!

We are going to talk about a subject this Sunday that our culture is doing everything it can to erase. It is not popular for a reason and unfortunately, the more we ignore it, the more we excuse it, the more we tolerate it, the further we wander from the truth of God's Word. The subject is Sin. Don't try to find an excuse to skip this subject. It's too important!

There is a wrong assumption that going to church is like going to a movie or concert or sporting event. The truth is, going to church is very different from those activities. On Sunday, we will explore one of the core reasons you should come to church, you are needed!

On Sunday, we begin exploring the question, "Why should I go to church?" There are probably many answers to that question, however, we are going to look at the first of three motives that cannot be ignored. Make sure you catch the next three Sundays!

Jesus said that the reason he came was to "serve". Think about it, he didn't come to rule, judge, punish, debate, or anything else. This Sunday, we are going to take a hard look at what it means to serve like Jesus. Our conclusions may surprise you!

To be a "Follower of Jesus" is foundational to the Christian life. Unfortunately, following the leader is not nearly as easy as people might think, especially if you insist on going your own way. Make sure you get the Simple Truth of what it means to "Follow".

Jesus' foundational message to his followers is to believe. Maybe it would be better to say, "Believe the unbelievable," or "believe something amazingly extraordinary." Today we will challenge our own beliefs with the unbelievable and amazing truth of God's Word. Get ready!!

Sermon starts at 3:00.
