Romans 12:14-21 | Pastor Ed

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from November 9, 2025.

Paul calls believers to a Spirit-empowered life that’s humanly impossible without God: bless persecutors, rejoice with the joyful, and weep with the hurting. He contrasts knee-jerk reactions with thoughtful, Spirit-led responses. We’re to cultivate humility—“associate with the humble,” avoid being “wise in our own opinion,” and keep churches open to all sinners because grace is for everyone. Don’t repay evil for evil; as far as it depends on you, pursue peace. Leave vengeance to God; instead, do practical good to enemies (feeding, giving drink), which brings conviction (“coals on the head”), not harm. The refrain is grace over retaliation—“not by might… but by My Spirit” (Zech. 4:6). Illustrations reinforced empathy (rejoicing/weeping, ancient tear bottles), humility, and non-retaliation, and the message closed with an invitation to surrender to Christ. - Ed Rea - Sunday, November 9, 2025

Genesis 20 | Pastor Greg

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from November 5, 2025.

Abraham repeats an old failure: out of fear, he calls Sarah his “sister,” and King Abimelech takes her—until God intervenes in a dream, protecting Sarah and rebuking Abimelech. The pagan king shows more integrity than Abraham, returning Sarah, compensating them, and receiving Abraham’s prayer, after which God heals his household. The chapter spotlights a great man’s recurring flaw (fear-driven self-preservation), God’s faithfulness despite human failure, and a warning against idolizing leaders: everyone is flawed, only God is perfect—so put trust in Him, not people. When fear spikes, pause, pray, and wait—don’t make self-protective decisions that jeopardize others. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Revelation1:9-20 | Pastor Rick

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from November 6, 2025.

John writes from exile on Patmos, reminding the church that he is their brother in trials and that Jesus is Lord over every ruler; on the Lord’s Day he hears a trumpet like voice declaring, I am the Alpha and the Omega, and he is told to write to seven churches. Turning, he sees seven golden lampstands and the Son of Man walking among them, dressed as the true High Priest with hair white as snow, eyes like fire, feet like burnished bronze, and a voice like many waters; in his right hand are seven stars, a sharp two edged sword proceeds from his mouth, and his face shines like the sun. John falls as though dead, yet Jesus touches him and says, Do not be afraid, I am alive forever and I hold the keys of death; then he gives the outline of Revelation, the things seen, the things that are, and the things after this, explaining that the stars are the messengers of the churches and the lampstands are the churches themselves. - Greg Opean - Sunday, November 2, 2025

Acts 4:23-37 | Greg

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from November 2, 2025

In Acts 4 the church hears the threats and, instead of spiraling, lifts its voice to the Creator, remembers Psalm 2, and asks for courage, and God answers by shaking the place as the Spirit fills them again so they speak freely about Jesus while great grace rests on them and generous hearts meet every need, Barnabas included. The pattern is steady and simple: magnify who God is, recall what God has said, lay the problem before him, ask for boldness to keep witnessing, and then move forward in unity and love.
