Dear Friends, Here is the link to today's sermon on YouTube, and the manuscript is attached. Hope you can join us on Zoom next Sunday! Sermon - November 29, 2020, "Light at the End of the Tunnel" Blessings, Pastor Chris Sermon – "Light at the End of the Tunnel" – Luke 1:67-79 November 29, 2020 Chris Coon, PBPC Our theme for this first Sunday of Advent is Hope. Hope is something that we could all do with more of right now. Many of us feel that we are in dark times, and it is tempting at times to give in to despair and even depression. Hope is the counterweight to this, the intangible force that can somehow keep us going even when things are at their lowest ebb.  I'm reminded of a time when I was going through a difficult period in my life. I was working on houses as a handyman, and at one point I was doing extensive work in someone's basement, which included a lot of crawling around one my hands and knees, and even on my belly, in the dust and dirt and da...

Dear Friends, Here is the link to today's sermon on YouTube, and the manuscript is attached. Hope you can join us on Zoom next Sunday! Sermon - November 22, 2020, "Forever Thankful" Blessings, Pastor Chris Sermon – "Forever Thankful" – Philippians 4:4-7 November 22, 2020 Chris Coon, PBPC I remember an evening several years ago when I was driving across town, lost in my thoughts, letting my own natural autopilot take me to my destination across familiar streets and intersections. At one traffic signal the light turned red as I approached and I stopped, the first car at the intersection. It was a long signal, and I became restless to get going, but for some reason, when the light changed to green, I hesitated for an extra moment. Then, just as I was about to press the accelerator, a large sedan came speeding into the intersection from the left, running through red light and careening from side to side. Clearly, anything that had been in its path would have been de...
