Everyone is talking a lot about change these days. But what it takes to actually cultivate change in our lives and in those around us might be harder to pin down. With these messages, Mike is continuing a series that we started at Easter called “Cultivate Change.” We hope you enjoy this look inside the vision of our church as we turn our attention to what God is doing with this body.

Moments are the building blocks of our lives in the here and now. They equalize and simplify. Each has its own unique contribution to the story that our lives become. Yet each moment has an outcome that moves us in a direction, carrying with it some element of the unpredictable. In the midst of these instances we have a choice. We can choose to trust, to learn, to give. These moments are where faith is found! We invite you to join us as we explore the way that God uses the moments in our lives to help us in our walk with Him.

For many of us the phrase "the fear of the Lord" is a pretty confusing, if not intimidating idea. For the next three weeks, we’ll be exploring how our "theophobia" has steered us in the wrong direction and given us a false view of who God is. We tend to fear God because we see Him as fickle, changing His mind about us based on our actions; however, our God is righteous and unchanging, worthy of our attention and respect. We hope that you’ll join us as we attempt to separate our short-sighted "theophobia" from an awe-inspired fear of the Lord.

In this message, Brian Few explores how the Bible tells us to "Taste and see that the Lord is good." But is the Bible really like a good meal? Join us as Brian shares how the word of God can be "sweeter than honey" in a message titled "Taste."

In Proverbs, King Solomon encourages us to embrace wisdom, to pursue it as treasure because in it lies the key to understanding--if we know this, how do we get so sidetracked?
The answer is easy--we take our eyes off the prize! To find the life that God desires for us, we have to be persistent and avoid the things that lure our attention and pull us off the path. God tells us that those who find wisdom find life--and that life is worth the PURSUIT!

This is a very special Easter this year, as it is our last Easter together at Roland-Grise. In just 4 short months we'll be moving to our new home at Cardinal Drive, so you can be sure that things around here are changing. If you're new to Port City, you can come to expect change as a regular part of life. Everyone is talking about change these days, but today Mike will be talking about what it takes to cultivate real change--both in our hearts and in the world we live in.

In our culture, we're obsessed with changing our outward appearance to make ourselves feel better--but does an outward makeover have lasting effects? In this message, hear from Mark Foland (Director of Tsunami, our middle school ministry) about God's definition of attractiveness and learn about His plan for an extreme makeover that changes us from the inside out.

The Human brain is remarkable. It's the ultimate multi-tasker, handling tons of information, sorting it, acting on it, and managing multiple life-giving and life-sustaining systems--all at the same time. The Brain helps us walk, speak, and act. The trouble is that sometimes each of our brains seems to have a mind of its own. Our thoughts run wild and peace of mind seems nowhere to be found. We may try capture our thoughts, but our heads turn into a war zone. We can be scatter-brained, mixed-up, and detached--just struggling to keep it together.
The Bible teaches us that the mind of Christ is available to His followers, but how do we find it when we are bombarded with so many things at the same time? How do all the pieces fit together? We'll take a look at this miraculous idea in our series, CONNECTED.

The world is overwhelming. There are so many things that cry for out attention. There are thrills to be experienced, things to be bought, children that need food, nations that need freedom, and the world needs to be changed. But what can I do?
You can’t do anything about everything, but you can do something about one thing - and that is where we are going to start. We invite you to join us for the next four weeks as we take advantage of the New Year and make a resolution that sticks. Once again, we are gong to sum up our resolutions in one word as we talk through the series “My One Word”

With no services at Mayfaire, we all gathered together for five services over two days at Roland Grise Middle School. What took place was an unforgetable experiece in the history of PC3. If you were unable to join us on Sunday or would love to experience it once again, we have made the entire service available below. Both music and Mike's message leading us into communion together is viewable.

Merry Christmas! You will be hearing this a whole lot over the next few weeks. Lots of symbols and colors herald the arrival of the most wonderful time of the year. Red and green, wreaths and trees... the apple and an ornament?
Didn't you know that the apple is the whole reason for "the reason for the season?" It began thousands of years ago in a garden. In this series we are going to examine the events that made the birth of Christ necessary in the first place. What would cause God to intervene in humanity in such a personal way? We invite you to join us as we celebrate Christmas and take a closer look at the apple and an ornament!

As we pause and take a look around Port City, what we see is really quite amazing. None of this was here just a few years ago and now the impact of God's work in this place reaches around the world - literally. All this happened by asking and answering one simple question - what's next? God is writing a story and has entrusted us with a part of that story. The end of the story has been assured, but the way we get there is by asking and answering that one simple question. We are glad you are here as we talk about "What's Next?"

There has been an assault--one that has left enormous damage in its wake. The family, designed by God to be a critical part of His plan, has been undermined, and it is time to revolt. This series is not simply an outline of how the family is supposed to work, but a call to a revolution. It is time to take back the future that God has promised to His people. This five-week series tackles some of the tough issues and leaves us with hope that reaches beyond our circumstances to help us hold onto the future that God has promised!

Welcome to PC3! With this series we’re going to explore what it would look like for us to live as stewards. The constant quest to get ahead in life leads to huge amounts of stress and frustration. But, what if everything you have belonged to someone else, someone with a plan and a purpose for what He has entrusted to you? We’ve been invited to live a different way. In this series, we want to remind you of a truth that can free us from the “rat race.” Everything we have has been given to us, so join us as we explore why we have what we have in our series “God’s Too.”

Join us as we are take a look at two of the key ceremonies in Christianity and why they are so connected to your walk with Christ. Baptism is something that Jesus has invited us into as a way to mark a significant moment in our relationship with Him. We hope to get a clearer understanding of what Baptism is about and, more importantly, celebrate with those who are taking their first steps with Christ. The Communion ceremony was established by Jesus the night before He would be crucified. The whole point of this sacrament was for us to remember – to be reminded that we are not left on our own to live this life, but a way has been made. We hope that this message will be a special time for you to be reminded of God’s love towards you, and that you will be able to mark a moment to remember in your walk with Him.

"Satisfied" - Many of our biggest questions hinge on our ability to be content. Can I be satisfied with my finances, in my relationships, with my spouse and in my life? There seems to be a longing, a space inside of us all, that never seems to be filled. We have so many passions and desires that seem to go unmet – can they be satisfied at all?
"Crisis" - As the drama of life unfolds it seems that a crisis can be found in every crease. These times of crisis can unleash emotions in us such as anger, fear, guilt, as well as a sense of helplessness. Many times we try to run from or avoid crisis at any cost. But what if we could see crisis as an opportunity to join with God in an act of faith that honors Him as He shapes us more into the image of His Son and helps us better share His story with someone in need?

Imagine being able to talk to someone who walked alongside Jesus—being able to see how they would encourage those with doubts and answer their questions. What would they say to regular people about what Jesus really meant? We have this opportunity through a letter that John the Apostle wrote to those who were beginning to walk with God. We are going to spend some time taking a closer look at this letter in the hope that it will help us understand and process what happened 2,000 years ago.

"What If?" This question holds so much potential—or it can bring with it so much regret. Depending upon the direction we are looking, we are compelled to move forward or be paralyzed by our past. When it comes to the deep matters of the heart, the question has massive implications. What if God is really who He says that He is? What if Jesus is the Messiah? What if He really rose from the dead? The answer to that question goes way beyond getting dressed up and going to church. But it drives to the center of who we are and what we believe… and everyone believes something.
