Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from August 23, 2026. Paul corrects the Corinthians for the careless way they were approaching the Lord’s Supper and brings their attention back to what communion is meant to remember: Jesus’ body given for us and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sin. Pastor Ed explains that churches may practice communion differently, but the important thing is not allowing it to become an empty ritual or losing sight of the sacrifice it represents. Communion points us to the New Covenant, the forgiveness Jesus purchased for us, and the work of the Holy Spirit in changing our hearts. The message encourages believers to examine themselves, receive God’s forgiveness, and approach the Lord’s Table with gratitude and a renewed focus on Jesus. - Ed Rea - Sunday, August 23, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from August 23, 2026. Pastor Rick finishes the Beatitudes by showing how God’s work within us begins to shape the way we live toward others. As we receive God’s mercy, we learn to show mercy; as He cleanses our hearts, we see Him more clearly; and because Jesus has made peace between us and God, we can carry His peace to others. Following Jesus will also bring opposition, but rejection and suffering do not remove God’s blessing or the hope believers have in eternity. The Beatitudes ultimately picture a journey with Jesus that begins with recognizing our desperate need for Him and ends with faithfully following Him all the way home. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, August 23, 2026

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from August 19, 2026. David desires to honor God by building Him a temple, but God has a different plan, reminding David that even a good desire for the Lord is not necessarily an assignment from the Lord. Rather than simply rejecting David’s plan, God reminds him of His faithfulness and promises to build David a house, establishing a kingdom that would ultimately lead to Jesus, the eternal King. The message encourages us to trust God when doors close, recognizing that His “no” may be His direction toward something we cannot yet see. Like David, we can surrender our plans, faithfully serve where God has placed us, and even help prepare the way for someone else to accomplish the work. - Rick Cornejo - Thursday, August 20, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from August 16, 2026. Jeff looks at what it means to “pray without ceasing,” showing that prayer is more than a posture or a moment set aside with God. A praying life should shape our character and the way we treat others, producing humility, patience, joy, thankfulness, love, and a willingness to pursue what is good. Walking closely with Jesus means depending on Him throughout everyday life, supporting the weak, responding to evil with good, listening to the Holy Spirit, and testing everything against what is true. The message encourages us to stay connected to Jesus in prayer so that our relationship with Him increasingly changes the way we live. - Jeff Harry - Sunday, August 16, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from August 16, 2026. Saul’s encounter with Jesus completely changes the direction of his life, turning the man who persecuted Christians into someone boldly proclaiming that Jesus is the Son of God. As others struggle to trust that his transformation is real, the message distinguishes forgiveness from trust and shows how trust can be rebuilt over time through consistent actions. Barnabas eventually steps in to encourage Saul and help bring him into fellowship with the apostles, while Saul himself is humbled and learns to surrender his plans to God. The teaching closes by looking at Saul’s coming years of obscurity as a reminder that seasons of waiting and struggle can be seasons God uses to prepare His people for what He has ahead. - Greg Opean - Sunday, August 16, 2026

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from August 12, 2026 Exodus 6:6–7 — The Four Cups This study looks at the four cups of Passover and the four promises God gave Israel: “I will bring you out, I will deliver you, I will redeem you, and I will take you as My people.” Each promise points beyond Israel’s deliverance from Egypt to the greater redemption fulfilled in Jesus, our Passover Lamb. The teaching connects the cup of redemption to communion and Christ’s blood of the New Covenant, while looking ahead to the final celebration of God’s redeemed people with Christ. It closes with Jesus in Gethsemane, willingly taking the cup of judgment we deserved so that we could receive the blessing of forgiveness, redemption, and belonging to God. - Bob Probert - Sunday, August 16, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from August 9, 2026. Paul addresses a difficult passage about head coverings, men and women, and authority by looking at the cultural setting of first-century Corinth and pointing to the larger principle of voluntary submission. The teaching emphasizes that husbands and wives are equal in value before God while having different roles within marriage, with Christ ultimately being the head of every believer. Pastor Ed explains that many of the specific practices surrounding hair and head coverings reflected Corinthian culture rather than a dress code Christians must follow today. He closes by pointing to the way Jesus valued women and reminding us that the greater question is whether we have willingly surrendered our lives to Christ. - Ed Rea - Sunday, August 9, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from August 9, 2026. Pastor Rick begins the Sermon on the Mount by looking at the first four Beatitudes and what they reveal about a life lived under the rule of Jesus. Being poor in spirit means recognizing our need for God, mourning means grieving over sin, meekness means surrendering our will to the Lord, and hungering and thirsting for righteousness means desiring what God desires. Together, these Beatitudes show a progression of drawing closer to Jesus as we recognize our need, confess our sin, surrender our plans, and allow Him to change our hearts. The message encourages us to keep looking to Jesus and let our hearts and lives increasingly line up with Him. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, August 9, 2026

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from August 5, 2026. This study looks back at Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and the four compromises Pharaoh offered Moses as a picture of the subtle compromises believers still face today. Pharaoh tells Israel to worship without leaving Egypt, not to go too far, to leave their families behind, and finally to leave their possessions, but Moses refuses each offer and remains committed to what God commanded. The message encourages believers not to settle for a halfway commitment to the Lord, but to surrender every area of life to Him, resist the pull of the world, and rely on the Holy Spirit to walk in obedience. Even when we have compromised, we can repent, receive God’s forgiveness, and continue forward by staying close - Bob Probert - Wednesday, August 5, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from August 2, 2026. Pastor Rick teaches through the beginning of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, where Jesus fulfills prophecy, calls people to repentance, and invites ordinary fishermen to leave their nets and follow Him. Using the picture of following a guide through an unfamiliar place, Rick emphasizes staying close to Jesus, trusting His direction through unexpected changes, and remembering that God is still working even when life seems interrupted or delayed. As Peter, Andrew, James, and John respond to Jesus’ call, the message challenges believers to keep Christ above their routines, comforts, and distractions and to learn to recognize His leading through a growing relationship with Him. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, August 2, 2026

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from July 29, 2026. Pastor Greg teaches through Exodus 13, showing how God established lasting reminders so Israel would never forget His mighty work of redemption. The message explains the significance of consecrating the firstborn, observing the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and carrying Joseph's bones as continual reminders of God's faithfulness and deliverance from Egypt. Drawing parallels to the Lord's Supper, the study encourages believers to remember that their identity is found not in slavery to sin but in God's redeeming grace through Christ, trusting His guidance even when He leads them by the longer path. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 29, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from August 2, 2026. Paul warns believers to flee idolatry, explaining that anything given greater importance than God can become an idol. The teaching moves from communion and our fellowship with Christ to Christian liberty, emphasizing that just because something is permissible does not mean it is helpful or beneficial to others. Believers are called to live for the good of others rather than themselves, with the ultimate goal that their lives would display God and help lead others toward salvation. Pastor Ed closes by challenging us to consider what we are living for and whether we are investing our lives in things that have eternal value. - Ed Rea - Sunday, August 2, 2026

Teaching from Matthew 22:34–40, the message explores Jesus' command to love God and love others, emphasizing that biblical love is far more than a feeling or affection. Looking to Christ's sacrifice as the ultimate definition of love, the study explains that true love is choosing the greatest good of another according to God's will, even when it requires sacrifice or self-denial. Through passages such as 1 John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13, believers are challenged to move beyond self-centered thinking and become people who actively serve, encourage, and care for others. Ultimately, the message reminds us that as we receive God's love through Christ, He empowers us to love Him, love our neighbors, and live lives that reflect His heart. - Jeff Harry - Sunday, July 26, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from July 26, 2026. In 1 Corinthians 10:1–13, Pastor Ed points to Israel's journey through the wilderness as a warning against becoming complacent in the Christian life. Although Israel experienced God's miraculous provision and protection, many fell because of idolatry, immorality, complaining, and overconfidence, reminding believers that spiritual privileges must be matched by faithful obedience. The message emphasizes that every temptation is common to humanity, that God is faithful in every trial, and that He always provides a way of escape for those who trust Him. Ultimately, Pastor Ed encourages believers to rely on God's grace rather than their own strength, keeping their eyes on Christ and walking in daily dependence on His faithfulness. - Ed Rea - Sunday, July 26, 2026

Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from July 22, 2026. In Exodus 11–12, Pastor Greg explains how the final plague and the first Passover reveal God's justice, mercy, and plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. He highlights Moses' growth from a fearful, reluctant servant into a faithful leader who simply obeyed God, reminding believers that success comes from showing up in obedience and leaving the results to the Lord. The message emphasizes that the Passover lamb, its spotless sacrifice, and the blood applied to the doorposts all point directly to Christ, whose death provides salvation for everyone who places their faith in Him. Ultimately, Pastor Greg encourages believers to find their identity not in their past or circumstances but in God's redeeming work, resting in the finished work of Jesus and walking forward as people who have been set free. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, July 22, 2026
