On Peachtree’s Heritage Sunday, guest preacher Rev. Danny Gulden reminds us that faith doesn’t need to be big to be powerful. In Luke 17, the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith—but Jesus tells them even faith the size of a mustard seed can move trees. God can do a lot with a little, turning small acts of generosity, courage, and curiosity into something far greater than we could ever imagine.

In this powerful reflection on Luke 16:19–31, we’re invited to confront the ways distraction and self-focus can dull our spiritual senses. With humor, honesty, and deep pastoral insight, this message challenges us to cultivate awareness—to see God’s grace at work in the world and to live intentionally in response. What if the greatest danger isn’t malice—but inattention?#Peachtree100 #TheCostOfInattention #Luke16 #RichManAndLazarus #ChristianLiving #PayAttention #GraceAwareness #SpiritualWakeUp #GospelReflection #TraditionedInnovation
What do we do with a parable where no one is clearly innocent, and even Jesus seems to praise a con artist? In this candid, humorous, and thought-provoking sermon, elder and attorney Beau Howard steps into the pulpit to unpack the baffling story of the “shrewd manager” in Luke 16. With lawyerly insight and heartfelt reflection, Bo leads us through a courtroom of questions—What is dishonest wealth? Who really owns what we possess? And how might God be asking us to use even compromised blessings for kingdom good? A challenging and inspiring message for stewards, skeptics, and saints alike.#PeachtreeChristianChurch #StewardshipSermon #DishonestWealth #Luke16 #BoHowardPreaches #HardParables #HolyStewardship #TraditionedInnovation #ParableOfTheShrewdManager #Peachtree100 #LayPreacherSunday #EverythingBelongsToGod
What if heaven is less like a courtroom and more like a party—and you’re the guest of honor? Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Jason Byassee delivers a brilliant, joyful, and deeply challenging message from Luke 15, where Jesus tells of a shepherd, a woman, and a God who won’t stop searching for the lost. Through wit, warmth, and prophetic wisdom, Dr. Byassee invites us to reimagine the church as a community of celebration, connection, and hope—where “even failure is something God can work with,” and where everyone is invited to the feast.#PeachtreeChristianChurch #JasonByassee #LostAndFound #Luke15 #ComeToTheFeast #HeavenRejoices #ChurchAsCelebration #TheGospelIsAGoodParty #JesusSeeksTheLost #TraditionedInnovation #Peachtree100
In this centennial guest sermon, Rev. Dr. Barry McCarty returns to Peachtree’s pulpit with a stirring message from Luke 14—the parable of the Great Banquet.

With reflections on God’s radical hospitality and stories of redemption that move the soul, this message offers an eternal invitation: The man on the middle cross said you could come.#PeachtreeChristianChurch #Peachtree100 #WelcomeToTheFeast #BarryMcCarty #Luke14 #GreatBanquet #EveryoneIsInvited #GraceNotRules #KingdomOfGod #EternalInvitation #ComeToTheTable #TraditionedInnovation #ChurchInAtlanta
What if the way we give could reveal the very heart of God? In this powerful conclusion to the Eternal Perspective series, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons reflects on Jesus’ teaching from Luke 14—where the banquet table becomes a lesson in humility, hospitality, and holy generosity. From etiquette to eternal truth, this message challenges us to give not for recognition, reward, or reciprocity—but to give ourselves, just as God gave us Christ.

What does it mean to keep the Sabbath holy? In this deeply moving message from Luke 13, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons explores the story of a bent and burdened woman healed by Jesus—and the outrage it sparked. But what if healing is the very heart of Sabbath?

What does it mean to flourish in the midst of adversity? As Peachtree Christian Church celebrates its 100th anniversary, guest preacher Rev. Dr. Denise Bell reminds us that God has called us not to live as victims, survivors, or even mere victors—but as flourishers.
Drawing on Psalm 52:8–9, she shows that true flourishing is rooted in God’s unfailing love, expressed through praise, grounded in hope, and shared in community. Flourishing is not about what we accumulate, but about who we become in Christ and how we bless others.
🙏 Join us for this centennial message in the Eternal Perspective series as we are called to trust, praise, hope, and give—living as people made to flourish.

Fear grips our world—fear of scarcity, fear for our children, fear of failure, even fear used by politics, media, and religion. Yet in Luke 12:32–40, Jesus speaks directly to our anxious hearts: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”In this sermon, Pastor Jarrod Longbons reminds us that the glory of God is a human being fully alive. Drawing on Scripture, church history, and personal testimony, he explores how fear paralyzes us, how it distracts us with possessions and performance, and how the eternal perspective frees us to live watchfully, faithfully, and abundantly in God’s presence.🙏 Join us for the second message in the Eternal Perspective series as we learn to let go of fear and awaken to a life filled with God’s peace, purpose, and Spirit.#EternalPerspective #Luke12 #DoNotBeAfraid #FaithOverFear #RichTowardGod #LifeInChrist #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SundaySermon
What do you really want in life? In Luke 12, Jesus warns us that life is not measured by the abundance of possessions but by being “rich toward God.” In this sermon, Pastor Jarrod Longbons explores how clinging to wealth, status, or even tradition leaves us empty—while giving ourselves away in love gives us true purpose.
From the parable of the rich fool to the legend of bluesman Robert Johnson at the crossroads, we’re reminded that our deepest desires can only be fulfilled in Christ. Discover how adopting an eternal perspective can transform your priorities and lead you to a life that truly flourishes.
Join us as we begin the series Eternal Perspective—soul work that calls us beyond accumulation into lives of generosity, service, and meaning.

In a world filled with skepticism, suspicion, and competing voices, the Apostle Paul’s warning to the Colossians still rings true: “See to it that no one takes you captive.” We often wrestle with doubts about our own worth, question the motives of others, and face philosophies that promise more than they deliver. Yet Paul reminds us of two timeless truths: Jesus is the door—and Jesus is enough. Join us as we explore how Christ frees us from deceptive ideas, quiets our harshest inner critic, and invites us all to his table of grace.

In a culture full of mixed messages and spiritual shortcuts, Paul’s letter to the Colossians reminds us where true hope is found. Christ is not just part of our faith—He is the foundation, the image of the invisible God, the one who holds all things together. This sermon invites us to resist the temptation to blend in and instead anchor our lives fully in Christ’s supremacy, sufficiency, and love. Wherever you are on your journey, you are seen, known, and loved by the one who created it all.#YouAreHere #ChristIsEnough #Colossians #SpiritualJourney #FirmFoundation #GospelNotAddOn #FaithNotFusion #PeachtreeChristianChurch #RootedInChrist #HopeOfGlory
We’ve heard the Good Samaritan story a thousand times—but what if it’s not just a tale of ethics, but a vision of the gospel? Jesus turns a legal question into a mercy movement, challenging us not simply to define who our neighbor is, but to become one. In a world full of justifications, Jesus offers justification that leads to love: grace that transforms us into those who stop, heal, and cross the road for others—especially for those we’d rather avoid.#GoodSamaritanGrace#JustifiedToLove#GoAndDoLikewise#MercyInMotion#CrossTheRoad#NeighborRedefined#ChristlikeCompassion#GraceNotJustEthics#ParableOfMercy#LoveWithoutLimits
When Jesus sends the 70, he sends them with no bags, no sandals, and no guarantees—only peace. This isn’t a setup for failure, but preparation for holy work. Vulnerability, far from weakness, becomes the doorway to deep faith and beloved community. In a world that prizes control, Christ reminds us that real power begins with trembling trust and the courage to show up empty-handed.#PowerInVulnerability#SentByJesus#BelovedCommunity#PeaceBeStill#HolyGroundFaith#HarvestIsPlentiful#JesusSends#KingdomMission#NoSandalsNoFear#FaithOverFear
When Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem, he chooses not wrath, but redemptive confrontation. In a world obsessed with power and payback, Christ models a love that enters into suffering and transforms it from within. This week, we explore what it means to follow Jesus with that same fierce mercy — not with fire from heaven, but with hearts fixed on healing.#ConfrontWithLove#FixYourEyes#JesusSetHisFace#TransformativeGrace#GospelConfrontation#MercyNotFire#RedemptiveLove#PowerOfForgiveness#SteelyGrace#FollowingJesus#PeachtreeChristianChurch#PeachtreeSermon#WorshipInAtlanta#TraditionedInnovation#TableCenteredFaith
