The Light Has Come
Signs and Wonders
Signs and wonders are an integral part of Jesus’ ministry in the Gospel of John. As we have already seen with the first sign done at a wedding in Cana, the miracles of Jesus validate His identity as the Messiah, bear witness to the truth of His message, and give us a glimpse of His Kingdom come to earth as it is in Heaven. But at the end of His Gospel, John also tells us that there is another reason why he recorded the signs and wonders of Jesus: that we may believe. Join us this Sunday as we look at the second sign done by Jesus in Galilee and find out what it means to truly believe.
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, Facebook, or YouTube.

PCPC Principles of Stewardship
|
As stewards who are to be held accountable, we must prayerfully seek to exercise our stewardship in a manner that is consistent with and obedient to God’s Word. Each week, we are going to share from our Principles of Stewardship.
Principle 8: Tithing has been a great blessing to many Christians. In both the Old and New Testaments, giving according to one’s prosperity is in view when considering stewardship. Giving is not limited to the tithe but is defined by grace and a response to the love of Christ. Stewardship recognizes not only a tenth; instead, everything belongs to God. Man merely acts as a trustee of God’s resources. Man should not seek to serve both God and money.
Please take advantage of this act of worship as the Lord provides and as He leads.
