Some pilgrimages take you exactly where you don't want to go. On the fifth Sunday of Lent, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons walks with Mary, Martha, and a grieving community to the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:1–45), reflecting on his own season of serious illness — when "fight" and "journey" couldn't carry the weight, but pilgrimage could. Jesus delays. Jesus weeps. Jesus calls the dead out by name. When the path leads through scary places, walk it anyway — because Christ is already ahead, and life waits on the far side of the stone.#pilgrimsofhope #Lazarus #Lent2026 #John11 #IAmTheResurrection #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #FifthSundayOfLent #FaithThroughGrief #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

What do you do when your eyes are opened and the world looks nothing like you expected? On the fourth Sunday of Lent, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons walks through John 9's story of the man born blind — a healing that costs him his community, his certainty, and everything familiar. Yet it places him, sight restored, on the ancient pilgrim pathway that leads to the Pool of Siloam and beyond. The sermon lands a quiet challenge: when Jesus opens your eyes, don't crawl back to the comfort of the gutter. Get up, get washed, and keep walking.

God shows up where you least expect it. On the third Sunday of Lent, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons follows Jesus into Samaria for his encounter with the woman at the well (John 4), exploring how the most transformative moments on any pilgrimage happen off the planned itinerary — in a pub in Glasgow, on a storm-tossed ship off Donegal, or at a well at noon with a stranger who knows everything you've ever done. No matter what shame you carry or how far you feel from God, living water is offered at the most unexpected stops along the way.#PilgrimsOfHope #WomanAtTheWell #LivingWater #Lent2026 #John4 #UnexpectedGrace #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #Transformation #AmazingGrace #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

You don't need to become a better person. You need to become a new one. On the second Sunday of Lent, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons continues the Pilgrims of Hope series with the story of Nicodemus — the religious insider who comes to Jesus under cover of night, and slowly, across three chapters of John's Gospel, is transformed in the open light of day. Drawing on John 3:1–17 and his own story of healing by firelight, Longbons makes the case that the Lenten pilgrimage isn't about self-improvement — it's about being born from above.#PilgrimsOfHope #BornFromAbove #Lent2026 #John3 #Nicodemus #BornAgain #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #Transformation #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

Lent is not a detour — it's a pilgrimage. On the first Sunday of Lent 2026, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons continues a four-week series by walking through Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1–11), exploring three tests: appetite, spectacle, and efficiency. Each one mirrors the shortcuts we're tempted to take in our own spiritual lives. The invitation is clear — don't be a tourist to your own transformation. Walk the pilgrim path with Jesus this season, and let the discipline lead to freedom.

What happens when we truly receive communion? In this fourth and final sermon in Peachtree Christian Church's strategic plan series, Rev. Katie Bond draws from John 6 to explore how the Lord's Supper isn't a destination — it's a commissioning. When Christ abides in us, he moves us outward: toward the hungry, the lonely, and the overlooked. The table isn't where we stay. It's where we're sent.

How should Christians engage a divided and distracted world?
Drawing from Paul’s sermon at the Areopagus, Jesus’ call to be light in the world, and the promise of good work in Ephesians, this sermon invites the church to engage the world not with fear or judgment, but with curiosity, humility, and hope. As Peachtree Christian Church looks toward its next century, we are reminded that flourishing faith shows up—listening deeply, shining gently, and doing good day after day for the sake of Christ and the city we love.

What does it mean for the church to grow in a changing world?
Drawing from Acts, Hebrews, and Ephesians, this sermon reflects on the early church’s devotion to worship, fellowship, and shared life—and what that vision means for Peachtree Christian Church as it begins its next century. Growth begins not with fear or scarcity, but with faithfulness: showing up for God and for one another, bringing our full selves, and trusting God to form us into a beloved community rooted in worship, humility, and transformation.

In a world marked by despair, desperation, and confusion about purpose, John the Baptist offers a different way forward. This sermon reflects on what it means to live for something worth giving our lives to—and how sharing the good news is less about winning arguments and more about pointing to hope. Through story, scripture, and the witness of faithful lives, we are invited to “behold and abide,” calling others out of the shadows and into the light of Christ.

On the Sunday of the Baptism of Jesus, we reflect on a surprising truth at the very beginning of Christ’s ministry: Jesus chooses obedience. This sermon explores why Jesus submitted to baptism, what it means to “fulfill all righteousness,” and how obedience can interrupt—even redeem—our carefully planned agendas. As a new year begins, this message invites us to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and discover a deeper, more faithful way of living.
