Pettisville Missionary Church

Pastor Kent launches the “Grace and Truth” series with a message from Philemon, urging believers to extend Christlike grace in strained relationships. He explains why forgiveness is essential because God forgave an unpayable debt and because unforgiveness damages spiritual life and offers practical steps to reconcile: change your thinking, accept the person, deal with the damage, and take the first step. The sermon culminates in communion, calling the church to remember Christ’s mercy and to forgive from a heart of love.

Pastor John explores Jesus’ ascension as Christ’s coronation day fulfilled in Scripture, celebrated as the moment the risen Lord is enthroned above every earthly power. He explains how believers are spiritually raised and seated with Christ, called to set their minds on things above, and invited to approach God confidently because Jesus intercedes as a sympathetic High Priest. The message closes by urging the church to live as Spirit-empowered witnesses while waiting for Christ to return and make all things right.

Pastor Kent walks through John 21, where Jesus restores Peter after his denial and commissions him to shepherd God’s people. He highlights that human effort isn’t enough, Christ’s grace is greater than failure, and believers must reject Satan’s lies with the truth of the gospel. The message challenges the church to live so compellingly marked by forgiveness, restoration, and Spirit-empowered love that the watching world is drawn to Christ.

The Empty Tomb Means Jesus Is PresentPastor Kent begins a new series, “The Days After Easter,” exploring Jesus’ resurrection appearances and what they mean for believers today. Walking through encounters with Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, the Emmaus-road disciples, and the gathered apostles, he shows how the risen Christ brings comfort in grief, hope after failure, understanding in confusion, and courage in fear. The message calls listeners to live with a resurrection-centered worldview, trusting Jesus’ present help through the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Kent Knorr preaches from Luke 23:32–43, focusing on the thief on the cross as a picture of salvation for the undeserving. He explains that entry into God’s kingdom is based solely on Jesus’ finished work—“the man on the middle cross said I can come”—not on religious achievements. He calls listeners to examine their response to Jesus (hostility, indifference, or belief and surrender) and invites them to receive Christ’s grace today.S M A L L G R O U P D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S1.

In this Palm Sunday message from Luke 19, Pastor John walks through Jesus’ triumphal entry, showing how the crowds praised loudly for God’s mighty works and why Jesus said even the stones would cry out if they were silent. He then highlights the startling turn as Jesus weeps over Jerusalem’s spiritual blindness and warns of coming judgment for rejecting their day of visitation. The sermon closes with Jesus cleansing the temple (Matthew 21), calling the church to worship Christ rightly and receive him as King and Savior

A Glimpse of the New Heavens and EarthIn the final message of the series “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” the pastor unpacks Isaiah 65:17–25 and connects its hope-filled vision to the millennial reign of Christ and the ultimate new heavens and new earth described in Revelation 21. He explains why Isaiah’s language about longevity and childbirth points to Christ’s coming kingdom, then paints a sensory “glimpse” of eternity and calls the church to anticipate Christ’s return, pray for it, reach the nations, and proclaim it through communion.

Seven Marks of True Faithful DiscipleshipPastor Kent continues the Isaiah series by asking how Christians should respond to the suffering Savior, contrasting Isaiah 58’s warning against empty religious show with authentic, heart-level devotion. Drawing from Luke 9–10, he lays out seven marks of true Christianity—faith, surrender, humility, commitment, gospel witness, compassion for the hurting, and worship—and challenges listeners to live a cross-shaped faith that changes everyday decisions.

The Suffering Servant and Our Peace with GodPastor John walks through Isaiah 52:13–53:12, showing how the “Suffering Servant” prophecy points directly to Jesus’ humiliation, crucifixion, resurrection, and exaltation. He highlights the heart of the gospel—Christ’s substitutionary atonement, “pierced for our transgressions” to bring believers peace and healing. The message ends with a call to respond in repentance and faith, trusting Christ’s righteousness rather than one’s own.

Jesus, the Light to the NationsFrom Isaiah 49 and Mark 7, the preacher shows how God’s plan was always to bring salvation beyond Israel, fulfilled in Jesus as “a light to the nations.” He highlights the Syrophoenician woman’s persistent, humble, and trusting faith and challenges the church to pursue great faith, focus on unreached people locally and globally, and identify “one” person to love and share the gospel with.

Jesus’ Free Invitation to Living WaterPastor Kent continues the series on Christ in Isaiah by preaching from Isaiah 55 and showing how its call to the thirsty is fulfilled in Jesus’ invitation of salvation for all people. Connecting the passage to Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, he highlights that God’s offer is for everyone, free of charge, and reaches ordinary people. He concludes with practical steps: seek the Lord, call on His name, repent, stay thirsty for more of Jesus, and take opportunities to speak His name in everyday places of influence.

Continuing the series “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” Pastor CJ unpacks Isaiah 61 and Jesus’ reading of it in Luke 4, showing how Israel’s long-awaited Messiah came first to address humanity’s sin and spiritual captivity—not merely political oppression. He highlights why Jesus stopped mid-verse at “the year of the Lord’s favor,” pointing to a present season of mercy before a coming day of judgment. Listeners are called to surrender to Jesus as Lord and live as a “royal priesthood,” carrying God’s presence into broken places to proclaim Christ’s mercy and rebuild what sin has ruined.

Pastor John launches a new series, “The Life of Christ Through Isaiah,” beginning with Isaiah’s throne-room vision in Isaiah 6. He shows from John 12 that Isaiah was beholding the preincarnate glory of Christ—holy, high, and lifted up—leading Isaiah to confession, cleansing, and a readiness to be sent. The message calls believers to a renewed awe of Jesus’ holiness, honest repentance, and Spirit-empowered service with the gospel.

Join us for church

John 17 records Jesus's prayer for his followers.  Pastor Brett Sauder considers the ways that Jesus uniquely and specifically comes to the aid of those who call Him Lord.

In John chapters 13-16, Jesus‘s disciples express a lot of worry about their future as His followers.  Pastor Kent Norr discusses how Jesus‘s words to His disciples offer seven reasons why believers today need not be anxious about the events of our world.

Pastor Kent Norr connects the familiar images of John 15:1-17 with the previous context of the Holy Spirit's role in the fruits of believers and disciples of Christ.

From John 14, we learn that Jesus will send the person of the Holy Spirit to be with his followers once He has left.  Pastor Kent Norr discusses the trinitarian doctrine of the Holy Spirit as being of the same kind as the Father and as the Son, and how this understanding impacts the way believers interact with each other and within their areas of ministry.

In John 14, Jesus tells his disciples, "Let not your hearts be troubled... I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."  Pastor Kent Norr explains how that hope and confidence spoken by Christ himself must impact believers and unbelievers living in tumultuous times.

Pastor Brett Sauder explains how Jesus alone can empower us to love others correctly and in the same manner that He loves us.
