Sermon Series: Revival
Scripture: 2 Kings 22: 1-2, 8-11b
Sermon: The Compass of Revival
Preacher: J.C. Fowler
Faith isn't a solo journey, and the Bible isn't a static book meant for a shelf. We dive into the historical validity of the New Testament and the danger of treating Scripture like a mere "verse dispenser." By looking at King Josiah’s visceral reaction to the rediscovered Law, we see how God’s Word serves as the primary catalyst for personal and communal change. Learn how to move from occasional reading to consistent, life-giving meditation on HIS truth.
"FAITHWORK" ASSIGNMENT
Identify the three most important or memorable points from the message to apply to your life. First, consider that the Bible acts as a compass rather than a GPS; it provides True North rather than specific turn-by-turn instructions. Reflect on how you seek HIS guidance during complex moments. Second, recognize that we do not drift toward clarity but instead toward chaos and selfishness without consistent truth. Think about which daily habits keep you anchored in HIS Word. Finally, remember that Scripture is communal and meant to be read with others to challenge and comfort the body of Christ. Identify who you are walking with to better understand HIS story for your life.

Solely Sermons | The Rival
January 25, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Sermon Series: Revival
Scripture: I Kings 18
Sermon: The Rival
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Watch the full worship service: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.http://subspla.sh/rbygbws
The dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel between Elijah and the prophets of Baal is more than ancient history; it is a confrontation between two opposing ways of life. King Ahab abandoned Yahweh for Baal, the god of power, wealth, and fertility. Today, we face similar rivals that demand allegiance and promise prosperity but deliver emptiness. True revival requires recognizing these modern idols and making a definitive choice to follow the God of sacrificial love rather than the empty promises of power and greed.
"Faithwork" Assignment:
Take time to reflect on the conflict between the values of the world and the character of God. Consider if there are areas in life where you are wavering, trying to serve both God and modern idols like wealth, power, or status. Look at the life of Jesus to see the true nature of God—one of sacrificial love rather than domination—and determine one specific way to turn away from a rival influence and recommit fully to Him.
"Revival" Sermon Series:
The story of our faith is one of revival: of God breathing new life into dead places, awakening the dormant, and bringing flourishing to the languishing. The Bible is full of powerful stories of new life and new beginnings. This New Year, join us as we hear of Revival and watch for the new work that God is doing in our midst today.

Snow Day Worship Service Replay | The Rival
January 25, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson, Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck • 1 Kings 18:36–39, 1 Kings 18:17, 1 Kings 21:20, 1 Kings 16:31–33, 1 Kings 18:19–21
Sermon Series: Revival
Scripture: I Kings 18: 36-39
Sermon: The Rival
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Revival often requires confrontation with the rivals vying for control of our hearts. The dramatic showdown on Mount Carmel between Elijah and the prophets of Baal illustrates the fierce battle for spiritual allegiance. Discover how the ancient struggle between serving Yahweh and chasing after idols like wealth and power mirrors our modern spiritual conflicts. Will you choose to stop limping between two opinions and fully commit to the one true God who answers with fire?
Faithwork Assignment:
Revival requires confronting the rivals in our lives that compete for our devotion to God. We cannot limp between two opinions; we must choose who is truly God. God proves His power and reality when we step out in faith and trust Him over false idols. Take time to identify what competes for your attention and make a conscious choice to put God first.

Solely Sermons | Revival of the Son
January 18, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson • 1 Kings 17:17–24, John 9:1–3, John 11:21, Mark 9:18–19, 1 Corinthians 13:12
Sermon Series: Revival
Scripture: I Kings 17: 17-24
Sermon: Revival of the Son
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Watch the full worship service: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.http://subspla.sh/k22mwxg
Life is filled with predictable moments and unexpected mysteries that shake our foundations. Explore the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, where sudden tragedy leads to a desperate search for answers. Discover how the instinct to blame often clouds our view of God's greater plan. Ultimately, encounter the God of revival who breathes new life into the darkest places and works through the messy, unpredictable events of our journey to bring about restoration.
#GodOfRevival #FaithInHardTimes #TrustGod #1Kings17
Faithwork Assignment: When tragedy or difficulty strikes, it is a natural human reaction to look for someone to blame. We often point fingers at God, others, or ourselves because we cannot see the full picture. Take time to reflect on a difficult situation where you felt the need to assign blame. Instead of focusing on the cause, ask God to help you trust that He is at work even in the pain. God specializes in bringing new life out of hopeless situations. Consider where you need to see His reviving power and be willing to believe that He sees a bigger picture of redemption for your life than you can currently perceive.

Live Worship Replay | Refreshing
January 11, 2026 • J.C. Fowler • Acts 3:17–20, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Matthew 3:2, Acts 4:4
Sermon Series: Revival
Scripture: Acts 3:17-20
Sermon: Refreshing
Preacher: J.C. Fowler
Deep down, everyone hungers for a fresh start and spiritual revival. Discover how the path to true refreshing isn't found in simple resolutions, but through the transformative power of repentance. By exploring Acts 3, we learn that acknowledging our need for God and turning away from draining habits opens the door to His presence. Experience the freedom of knowing that no matter the past, it is never too late for a new beginning with Jesus.
#Acts3 #Revival #SpiritualGrowth #AllentownNJ #ChristianLiving
Faithwork Assignment: Take time to honestly identify the habits or "false refreshments" in life that promise relief but leave you feeling drained. Confess these specific areas to God, trusting fully in His grace and forgiveness. Make a concrete decision to "turn from" these behaviors by removing the temptation and "turn toward" God through prayer or Scripture. Remember that true spiritual revival begins with this deliberate choice to course-correct and seek Him.

January 4, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson, Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck • Matthew 25:31–46, James 2:14–26, Luke 4:14–21, Luke 10:25–37, 1 John 3:16–18
Adult Education Series: Serving our Neighbors in Peril
Week 1: APC Biblical-Theological Overview
Leaders: APC Pastors
When a man asks Jesus about the way to attain eternal life, Jesus turns the question back to him. The man answers, quoting the scriptures, to love God and love your neighbor. “You have given the right answer,” says Jesus, “Do this, and you will live" (Luke 10:28). We at APC seek to follow Jesus' command to "do this" by ministering in creative ways to neighbors struggling with life’s most basic needs: food, housing, and health. Join us for a seven week adult education course to learn about some of our missions and ministries that serve these neighbors. We will meet Sundays 9:45-10:45 am in Schulte Hall, beginning January 4 with a biblical-theological overview by our pastors, followed each week with opportunities to learn about our APC food pantry, HomeFront, and the immigrant ministries of Interfaith-Rise.

Scripture: Colossians 1:11-13
Sermon: Crowned
Preacher: J.C. Fowler
As the New Year begins, it is time to reflect on where we have been and where we are going. The ancient battle between light and darkness is not just a story, but a reality that demands a choice. Discover the freedom found in belonging to the Kingdom of Light, where identity is based on being chosen by God rather than worldly performance. Jesus invites everyone to claim their status as chosen royalty and join Him in His work.
#KingdomOfLight #NewYearNewFocus #ChosenRoyalty #FaithWalk
Faithwork Assignment: Take time to reflect on the truth that you are chosen royalty, not because of what you achieve, but because God has selected you for His family. Consider the areas of your life where you might be letting other rulers like approval, control, or fear sit on the throne of your heart. Meditate on the sacrifice Jesus made by trading a crown of gold for a crown of thorns, and ask Him to show you how to actively participate in the battle for light.

Solely Sermons | When You Find What You’re Looking For
December 28, 2025 • James Wilson Jr. • Matthew 2:1–12
Allentown Presbyterian Church, Allentown NJ
Scripture: Matthew 2:1–12
Sermon: When You Find What You’re Looking For
Preacher: James Wilson Jr.
The search for meaning is a universal human experience that often leaves us feeling restless. Using the journey of the Magi in Matthew 2, this message explores how God meets us in our uncertainty and guides us through trouble. Discover how to start your spiritual journey right where you are, the importance of traveling in community, and the transformative power of re-centering your life and worship solely on Jesus Christ.
#Epiphany #SpiritualJourney #SeekingGod #Matthew2 #WiseMen #Faith
Faithwork Assignment: Start your journey exactly where you are today, understanding that you do not need to be perfect to seek God. Recognize that facing trouble does not mean God is absent; instead, trust that He is guiding you even through difficult seasons. Finally, examine your heart to ensure you are not worshiping the blessings in your life more than the Giver. Make a conscious effort to recenter your life on Jesus, allowing Him to be the true Lord of your story. Remember S.T.A.R.:
Start Where You Are
Take the Risk
Arrive Together
Re-center on Jesus

Solely Sermons | His Marvelous Light
December 24, 2025 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson • Isaiah 9:6, 1 Peter 2:9, Genesis 1:1–3, Isaiah 9:2
Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3, Isaiah 9:2, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, I Peter 2:9
Sermon: His Marvelous Light
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Watch the Full Worship Service Here: https://allentownpresbyterianchu.http://subspla.sh/9jx54kz
When life feels dark and chaotic, it is easy to respond with fear or anger. But the Christmas story reminds us that God steps directly into the darkness to bring Light. We are invited to make a brave choice: to turn away from despair and instead offer love, kindness, and hope to those around us. Just one small light can break the darkness.
#LightOfTheWorld #Hope #Courage #Faith #ChooseLove
Faithwork Assignment:
When we find ourselves in dark places, we face a choice between responding with fear and hate or responding with courage and love. What choice will you make the next time you feel overwhelmed by the shadows of life? Just as one candle lit in defiance of darkness sparked a revolution in Romania, our small acts of courage and kindness can drive out despair. Who is one person in your life that needs you to be a light for them right now?

Live Worship Replay | Watching and Waiting
December 21, 2025 • Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck • Luke 2:25–35
Sermon Series: What Are You Waiting For?
Scripture: Luke 2:25-35
Sermon: Watching and Waiting
Preacher: Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck
Waiting is often viewed as an inconvenience, yet it is an inescapable part of the human experience. This message explores the life of Simeon, a man who faithfully waited for the Messiah, to reveal how "in-between" seasons shape the soul. Rather than just a delay, waiting becomes a transformative ground where character is forged. Discover how to find purpose in the pause and experience God’s sustaining presence.
Faithwork Assignment: Consider the season of waiting you are currently in. Instead of viewing it as wasted time, recognize it as an active season where God is shaping your character. Reflect on whether this time is causing bitterness or if it is an opportunity to grow in patience and love. Remember that God is often more interested in who you are becoming during the wait than the destination itself. Ask yourself how your heart is being transformed while you stand in the "in-between." Finally, find comfort in knowing you do not wait alone. The Holy Spirit is present to sustain you, so seek to find rest in God's presence even if your deepest longings remain unfulfilled.

Advent Sermon Series - What Are You Waiting For:
The hymn, "O Come O Come Emmanuel" captures the spirit of advent. It tells of the deep longing for God to break into the world; a longing that was met with the birth of Jesus. This longing continues, as we wait with expectation for Jesus to come again, and again. Join us this advent as, along with the prophets of old, we await the coming of the Messiah.

Solely Sermons | Waiting for the Vision
December 14, 2025 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson • Habakkuk 2:1–3
Sermon Series: What Are You Waiting For?
Scripture: Habakkuk 2:1-3
Sermon: Waiting for the Vision
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Advent is a season of waiting, often lived in the "in-between" of promises made and promises kept. Exploring the ancient wisdom of the prophet Habakkuk reveals how to find hope when life feels broken. Discover the difference between human time and God's perfect timing. Learn how a clear vision from God provides the strength to live by faith, rather than pride, while anticipating the coming King who makes all things right.
Faithwork Assignment:
Take time to reflect on the "in-between" moments of your life where God is active, even if His promises are not yet fully visible. Consider what vision or hope provides you with the energy to persevere through difficulties. Finally, examine areas where you might be relying solely on your own control and identify one specific way you can lean more on God's plan instead of your own strength.
