Advent Series
The Preeminence of the Incarnation
In the first chapter of Colossians, Paul delivers to us one of the supreme expressions of the Incarnation. Carried along by the Holy Spirit, Paul reveals to us the fullness of Christ’s humanity and divinity. His language extols the glory of our Lord Jesus and leads the followers of Jesus into awe and wonder at His preeminence. For all who are in Christ, these living words offer us the ever-expanding reality of the incomprehensible nature and glory of the One True Savior. He truly is awesome! Join us Sunday as we fix our eyes upon the One Paul is describing to us. Come with the prayerful expectation of being overwhelmed by the glory of His incarnation. Expect to see new things as you are reminded of the old.
Invite friends and family to worship in-person with us on Sunday at 8:00 (Chapel), 9:30 or 11:00 a.m. or online at pcpc.org/live/, the PCPC App with an iOS or Android device, or YouTube.

Dallas Marathon Impacts Traffic
|
Leave for church a little earlier on Sunday, December 14. The 2025 Dallas Marathon route will be blocked off, so vehicular traffic will be re-routed. Please plan accordingly before heading to church on Sunday. Lakeside, Turtle Creek, Armstrong, Fitzhugh, and Wycliff will be closed to traffic. We have linked to a map on our website to help navigate around the marathon route. Please use Mockingbird, Preston, and Oak Lawn.
