May 24, 2026 - PLACE: Leverage
from Sermons from Pastor Steven Canfield Hosted by First Baptist Church Pittsfield
Archimedes once said, "Give me a place to stand and I shall move the world." Pastor Steven takes that ancient intuition and asks: what if a small church in downtown Pittsfield believed the same thing — not about physics, but about love? In this second sermon of the PLACE series, the L is Leverage. Using the lever as an analogy, Steven maps out what it takes to move the weight of a city's brokenness: a community acting as one body, a place to stand, ideas that match real gifts and real burdens, and a fulcrum that holds it all — Jesus, the chief cornerstone. On Pentecost Sunday, the reminder is that the same presence of God that once dwelt in the holy of holies now lives in the people who walk these streets.
