Water isn’t always benign and benevolent. Sometimes it’s the very opposite. Water can be as dramatic and dangerous as it can be refreshing and relaxing. God works through water in all of those ways. In this message from Teaching Pastor, Angie Frame, we look at one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible about water—the Exodus. The event itself is dramatic, and it becomes a milestone for the people of God—forever defining both who they are and who God is. In this message, we explore how it can be a story that shapes us and our understanding of who God is, too.

Living Water
September 4, 2022 • Tanner Iglio • John 7:10–14, John 7:37–38, John 7:46–47
After the past couple of years, many of us are exhausted. We’ve lost loved ones, lost important relationships as we’ve struggled to find unity, witnessed national tragedies, and survived an international pandemic. As we’ve progressed through this “On the Water” series, the thought of water cleansing, sustaining, and refreshing us may fall completely flat. What if you have nothing left to give? What if you still need to be restored? The truth is, the world needs to be restored. Join Teaching Pastor, Tanner Iglio, for his first-ever message at PCC, as he demonstrates that the spirit—the river of living water—is still flowing and available to restore every one of us.
Bitter Waters
August 28, 2022 • Angie Frame • Exodus 1:12–14, Exodus 15:22–27, Psalm 81:10, Psalm 81:16, Matthew 7:24
The Israelites’ water is bitter. The truth is that they are bitter, too. And it’s no wonder. After all they’ve been through, bitterness is an understandable response. The Bible shows us that bitterness is a natural result of suffering loss and trauma. Many of us have suffered losses and circumstances that have led to our own bitterness. But bitterness doesn’t have to define you. In this message from the On the Water series, Teaching Pastor Angie Frame shows us that God can take what is bitter and turn it into something helpful, something needed—even something essential.
Still Waters
August 21, 2022 • Elijah Schiarelli • Psalm 23, Exodus 20:8–11
Psalm 23. One could easily make the case that these 6 verses in the Bible make up the most impactful, enduring piece of literature of all time. We really can’t talk about all of Psalm 23 because we just don’t have the time. Which, ironically enough, is what Pastor Elijah Schiarelli discusses in this message. Because many of us feel like that, don’t we? We just don’t have any time. In this installment from the “On the Water” series, discover what it means to be led beside “still waters,” no matter your current situation and pace of life.
