Parker Ford Church's PodcastWho Is on the Throne? Matthew 7:1-6To be the judge is to carry the weight of being right—and being just. The throne of authority is no casual seat; it demands power, wisdom, and responsibility, especially when decisions impact others. Yet how often do we climb into that seat ourselves, assuming the role of judge, condemning others? But who is equal to the task? Who is wise enough, just enough, righteous enough to sit on the judgment seat? Is anyone worthy? Praise be to Christ Jesus, the Lamb who is worthy! This week, we will explore the King's words about our judgment, justice, and our te...2025-07-0641 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastWhere Your Treasure Is ( The Lord's Prayer) - Matthew 6:9-15Recently PFC welcomed Dave Wiedis to share some insights from his new book The Spiritually Healthy Leader. In his teaching Dave Wiedis talked about the idea of "ruling passions". Every person has a ruling passion. This is part of God's good design. But our ruling passions can become idols when they are not focused on Christ. Using this framework, we will explore the power of the Lord's Prayer to recenter us on Jesus and his glory. 2025-05-2541 min

Parker Ford Church's PodcastHeaven is Listening. Are We Asking? Matthew 7:7In the middle of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, he tells us that if we ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and experience open doors from heaven. How are our lives responding to that invitation? Let’s explore what it looks like to pursue God and all that he wants to offer us. 2025-02-2353 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastHangry for Justice - Matthew 5:6Have you ever been hangry? Have you ever been around someone else who is hangry? Hangry, if you're not familiar with it, is the state of being angry...because you're hungry. It's not just toddlers who get a little grumpy when they have an empty stomach. In Matthew 5:6 Jesus says that those who are hangry for righteousness will be satisfied. This week we explore the hunger and thirst that points towards the righteousness and justice of the Kingdom of Jesus.2025-02-0244 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastA Light for the Humble - Luke 1:39-56Today we’ll be continuing the Christmas story as told in Luke’s Gospel. Mary visits her relative, Elizabeth and then gives a magnificent psalm of thanksgiving to God. Each step along the way, we see her obedience, faith, and humility. Our focus will be drawn to God in worship because of one person’s humble adoration. The Mighty One truly does great things and He loves to do them through those who are humble. 2024-12-1546 min

Parker Ford Church's PodcastLive & Die for the Lord - Romans 14The most basic meaning of the biblical word for judge/judgment means to "separate" or "rule over." Jesus says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Mt 7:1). Paul writes, "Who are you to judge someone else's servant?" The idea here is that everyone who is a follower of Jesus is a servant of God. Jesus alone can sit in the judgment seat (separating out wheat and tares and ruling over). Our job is to "live and die for the Lord" (Rom. 14:8). Jesus - the one true Judge and King - will take care of the rest.2024-11-0346 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastGet Up & Get Dressed - Romans 13:11-14Don’t even think about hitting that snooze button!

Parker Ford Church's PodcastKnowing and Doing God's Will - Romans 12:1-2Today we will unpack the phrase, “God’s will”. What does it mean exactly? How can we know it, test it, and approve it? How do we describe it? As we look closely at Romans 12:1-2, we’ll see that it’s not a mysterious code to be cracked but it’s the result of a life wholly consecrated to God and a mind renewed by God’s Word and Spirit. 2024-09-1542 min

Parker Ford Church's PodcastA Place for UsThe glorious hope we have as followers of Jesus is that one day we will live in a never-ending union with God in the New Creation. In Jesus’ final hours with the disciples (as told in John 14:1-14), He promises His frightened friends that they will dwell with Him forever in God’s presence. How comforting this must have been to them in the midst of chaotic current events. When Jesus told His disciples, “I go to prepare a place for you”, He is referring to the cross that awaits Him. It’s through the cross that Jesus will prepare a...2024-08-2518 min

Parker Ford Church's Podcast(Un)Traditional Family: Ruth 1In the book of Ruth we encounter individuals who are married and individuals who are single. Singleness and marriage are both equally valid vocations for Christians. Whether we are married or single, if we are in Christ, we ultimately belong to Christ and are full fledged members of His family. As we walk through Ruth 1 we will examine the unique vocations of marriage and singleness and study how they both image God’s glory. 2024-07-1437 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastThe Book of Ruth - IntroAs we begin our study in the book of Ruth we will be taking a look at the first 5 verses in the book. Tragedy has struck a family.

Parker Ford Church's PodcastThe Few, The Faithful - Romans 11:1-10Today we will see God’s grace showered on those who faithfully follow Jesus with open eyes and ears. The few are those who don’t bend the knee in worship of anything or anyone other than the Lord. The faithful are those who are spiritually sensitive toward God. Are you part of the few and the faithful? 2024-05-2637 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastHeralds for the King - Romans 10:14-21This week we are going to continue to look at Romans chapter 10. Paul is still answering the question: Why has Israel missed out on the righteousness of Christ while the Gentiles welcomed and received it? We will notice in these scriptures, we have a God who is in continual pursuit of his people, and those of us who are in the family of God, play an intricate role in building His Kingdom. 2024-05-1926 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastGod's Promises - Romans 9:1-13We are staring a new section in Romans this week, Chapters 9-11. This section seems to be an abrupt stop in Paul's pastoral flow from Romans 8. Therefore, we need to know and understand why this is happening. Have we been reading Romans 9-11 with the wrong contextual view? Have we missed Paul's heart and intention? Possibly. We will examine and explore the heart of Paul and what he is communicating in Romans 9:1-13. 2024-04-1433 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastPresent Suffering, Future Glory - Romans 8:17-19Personal stories and testimonies are a big part of our culture here at PFC. We believe it is important to share and receive what God is doing in the lives of those in our church, as well as those in our community and around the world. This Sunday we will take a deeper dive into Romans 8:17-19 “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” by hearing a special testimony.

The Live Music Industry PodcastEpisode #10 | Dayna Frank (President of NIVA) & Stephen Parker (Executive Director NIVA)The independent live music industry can rest soundly at night knowing it has NIVA and incredible leaders behind it like Dayna and Stephen fighting with will, resources, and creativity. My mind was blown to learn about the complexity of the problem in ticketing and that NIVA is back taking the fight to Congress and making progress.
This was truly a special conversation that shined a light on important issues, such as the complexity and scale of tech in the secondary, progress on getting bills passed to levy fines on so much fraud that is happening every day, and Steve...2024-03-2056 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastUsed Not Abused - Romans 6:15-23We will serve someone. In Paul's worldview, every human is a servant of a master - even earthly kings who seem to be 'on the top.' It may appear that Caesar is a servant of none, but actually every one of us is either an instrument of sin or an instrument of righteousness. We will be used. Thankfully, when we are used by God...we're not abused. 2024-02-1136 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastWanted: Dead & Alive - Romans 6:1-14This Sunday at PFC, we’ll discover that Jesus wants us dead & alive! It will make more sense as we look at our Biblical text – Romans 6:1-14. There are some things that we need to declare death to – R.I.P! These things no longer hold power over us because of Jesus’ death and resurrection! We’ll also see what (or Who) we need to be fully alive to. You are “wanted” this Sunday at PFC - dead & alive! 2024-01-2135 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastThe Heart of Atonement - Romans 3:25In Romans 3:25 the Apostle Paul writes, "God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood - to be received by faith." During the Advent season PFC will be exploring the meaning and mystery of the atonement. This Sunday we're kicking off this series by focusing on the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. He died "instead of us" and "in our place." It should have been you and I. Instead, Jesus took our place on the Cross (substituting in for us). Although this is not the only way to think about the atonement...2023-12-0341 min

Parker Ford Church's PodcastThe Bible: The Clear Parts, the Mysterious Parts & Everything in BetweenThe Bible was not written to us but it is for us. There are parts of God’s written Word that are real head-scratchers and difficult to understand. There are other parts that are clear and simple enough for even a child to read and comprehend. This Sunday, we’ll explore the various reasons for this as well as pick up some tools that will help us wrestle with the difficult parts of Scripture. We’ll even look at an example of a clear/unclear part in John’s Gospel, utilize some of these tools and allow the Holy Spirit t...2023-07-3044 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastGod's Sovereignty & Our Free WillAs we continue our Life in the Balance series, this week we will be looking at the tension between God’s sovereignty and our free will.

Parker Ford Church's PodcastJoy & Grief (Part 1)The Bible presents love as one of (if not the most significant) defining characteristics of God. Love of God and neighbor is the Greatest Commandment. Faith, hope, and love will remain in eternity - but the greatest of the three is love. The Apostle John says, "God is love." But in a broken world love is not always seen, received, experienced, or given appropriately. This is where grief comes in. Joy and Grief are the two primary expressions and emotions of love. Love received results in joy. Love that is missing or abused results in grief. As those who...2023-06-2529 min

Also, we will look at what Scripture says about what it means to “tend” to His presence, and how we go about doing that.2022-10-3023 min
Parker Ford Church's PodcastAntioch: A People Who Embrace TensionThis week we look at the church of Antioch, focusing on how they dealt with conflict and tension within their body.

Wright has often said that the resurrection of Jesus was God’s first act of new creation. We may not be able to fully see it (“now we see in part”), but God has already begun his grand plan of renewal. God’s recreating work began with the life, example, teaching, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. We don’t know, specifically, how and when God’s work through Jesus will culminate in the recreation of all things. But we can be sure of Jesus’ intentions to make all things new. Jesus said, “Behold, I am making all...2022-03-0210 minParker Ford Church's PodcastCharacter of God: God ForgivesToday we will be looking at the profound act of forgiveness.

Therefore, we are all called to forgive. 2022-02-0923 minParker Ford Church's PodcastReflections on Spiritual Formation: Peace Before ClarityMost of us want clarity. Where should I go to school? Should I quit my job? Where should I move? Should I marry this person? We all want clarity. Alas, clarity is so very rare. This doesn't seem to necessarily be a problem with our ability to discern the specifics of the will of God (though we could all grow in this area!). Maybe it's more indicative of what the Lord actually desires to give us - peace instead of (or at least before) clarity. In today's teaching we explore the compelling role of the "peace of Christ" in...2021-08-1812 minParker Ford Church's PodcastReflections on Spiritual Formation: The Story is the Good NewsIn the 1997 Stephen Speilberg film "Amistad" John Quincy Adams says, "In a courtroom, whoever has the best story wins." It's a great line (whether or not John Quincy Adams actually said it in real life). And, there is deep, resonating truth found in it. In our lives, the best story will win. The story that most captures our imaginations, and stirs our souls, will give direction to our lives. If the "American Dream" is our favorite story, then we'll likely direct our efforts towards bigger and better possessions, etc. In today's midweek teaching we explore the importance of understanding...2021-08-1111 minParker Ford Church's PodcastReflections on Spiritual Formation: Life-Long Learners Who Read BroadlyIt's easy to fall into ruts. We get comfortable. It's so easy to slip into patterns of life where we unintentionally stop stretching, exercising, reading, and learning. In today's midweek teaching we talk about the importance of being a life-long learner who reads broadly. What we read (and the media we consume in general) will shape and form us. So, receive this invitation to read adventurously and broadly as you seek to learn and love God with all your mind.2021-07-2816 minParker Ford Church's PodcastReflections on Spiritual Formation: Defender of the WeakReflections on Spiritual Formation: Defender of the WeakTwo men went up to the temple to pray...Have you heard this one? One man sought to justify himself by comparing his actions to others. The other man beat his chest and cried out in vulnerable confession about his sinfulness and brokenness. Which man went home justified? Self-righteousness is the great enemy to Spiritual Formation. In today's mid-week teaching we examine the truth that God alone can be our true Defender.

Throughout this series we will be exploring some of the key concepts and ideas regarding the topic of spiritual formation (i.e. Spiritual Disciplines, personal rhythms, etc.). But instead of pretending like he is the Yoda of spiritual formation, DJay would rather just admit that he's broken and every bit as muc...2021-01-0612 minParker Ford Church's PodcastWaiting During Discomfort"Waiting During Discomfort"As we continue our Advent series "We Wait for You" we are joined by a special guest, Galen Hackman who brings us this morning's teaching about how waiting on God builds the spiritual fruit of patience in our lives.

Why does "anything more than this" come from evil? One reason is that swearing oaths can be a form of verbal manipulation. By swearing upon something, rather than simply saying we will or will not do it, we are short-circuiting the other person's discernment and decision making process. This simple teaching from Jesus is a timely reminder for us to practic...2020-09-0812 minParker Ford Church's PodcastNicodemus and JesusOver the next two Sundays (August 9th and 16th) Tim Doering will be with us sharing a two-part teaching on Nicodemus and Jesus.
