One of the things most endearing to me about Pittsburgh is its unique language of Pittsburghese. By merely hearing it, you are part of Pittsburgh’s family of shared secrets, and a bond is formed. The love of God isn’t bound by the language you speak, even Pittsburghese!

Senior Pastor Dr. Kurt Bjorklund teaches on John 3:16-18 explaining how great it is to both receive and give the hope of the world.

Leaders at the top of their field are easy targets for criticism, just ask President Trump or Biden. That is not to say that the criticism is invalid or unwarranted, but it is all too easy to blame the leaders for all that ails the country.

Christmas, according to scripture, is not just a story about snow, mistletoe, or presents under a tree as Bing Crosby describes it in his #10 most performed holiday song. John 1:14 describes Christmas as “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” The Word is Jesus and John 1:4 tells us, that in Jesus is life and that life was the light of all mankind.

The season of Advent is a season in which followers of Jesus prepare for the celebration of His birth by remembering those who first awaited his arrival and identifying with them as we wait on Christ to bring grace and restoration in our own days.

Dr. Kurt Bjorklund looks at the second part of John 3 and how 3 of the hardest concepts for us to wrap our heads around in the bible should not be looked at as "fine print", but important to how we view what God has to offer in a relationship with us.

Josiah Leuenberger, Member of the Life Stage Ministry & Director of Young Adult Ministry, looks at the first half of John chapter 3 and thinks about the question "What does God want from us?"

What is it about these movies that have captured the attention and heart of so many people? I believe that the fantasy world of superheroes Marvel has created, is acting as a window to the soul of humanity.

Yesterday I told my wife, Lisa, I can’t stand our Christmas tree. Technically there is nothing wrong with it, I just think it looks like a messy Christmas ornament yard sale. As I looked upon the mess of ornaments hanging all over our tree, like a badly organized garage sale, it hit me - this looks a lot like God’s love for us.

If we can’t trust technology, big tech companies, or even ourselves, who can we trust!? The only trustworthy person is Jesus. He proved His unconditional love for us by dying on the cross for our sin and rising from the grave to conquer death on our behalf.
