Parkhurst Community Church

In this encounter with Jesus' and the blind beggar Bartimaeus, Doug highlights Jesus's power, compassion, and authority to bring both physical and spiritual restoration while calling us to approach Him with honest faith.

In this  sermon, Dave unpacks the encounter where Jesus intentionally seeks out a shamed, isolated Samaritan woman at a well to offer her living water, the Holy Spirit, who satisfies our deepest thirst where false fountains can’t, and he invites us to come to him as we are, with nothing to hide.

In this sermon, Dave takes us through Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler, and challenges us to abandon self-righteousness, idolatry and self-sufficiency, and to follow Christ above everything else, trusting that we can never give up more than He gives back.

Through Jesus’ encounter with a forgiven sinful woman at Simon the Pharisee’s dinner, the sermon shows that self-righteousness blinds us, while grace-forgiven debt produces costly love and the peace of knowing our sins are forgiven.

In this sermon, guest preacher, Rob Weddell, preaches from Jehoshaphat's crisis in 2 Chronicles 20 to show that genuine Christian conviction is tested—not determined—by suffering, and must rest firmly in the character and faithfulness of God rather than comfortable circumstances.

In this sermon, Doug opens the "Gospel Encounters" series with John 3, exploring Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus about the necessity of being born again by the Spirit.

In this sermon, Dave shows us how true rest is found only in Jesus, not in circumstances, achievements, or possessions.

In this final session, Roger unpacks Matthew 13:44-46 explaining that the kingdom of heaven is worth any sacrifice because Jesus himself — not what he asks you to give up — is the treasure, and living in awe of him puts every other pleasure, ambition, and loss in its rightful place.

In this second session, Roger digs into Luke 5:33-39 and Jesus' three pictures of the groom, the garment, and the wineskin to ask a simple but searching question: are you trying to patch Jesus onto your old life, or are you ready to let Him make you new?

In this first session of our  Getaway 2026, Guest preacher Roger Haynes takes us through Luke 15 and shows us how God is relentlessly, joyfully a finding God ("hound of heaven"). The three "lost" images map to three ways we get lost (no agency / drift / active choice), and the practical response is confession — facing the truth so you can enjoy being found
