Worshiping God in spirit and in truth requires the involvement of spirit, soul and body. One essential aspect is the verbalization of praise. Regardless of personality types or liturgical forms: praising God requires the mouthing of adoration and glory. Saying it does it. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100830_1cc99/SpiritualParticipaction.m4a Praise, SInging, Speaking, Worship, Pentecostal, Participate, Speaking, Action, Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) I Know Where I'm Going: There's only one thing worse than not knowing where you going, and that's not knowing that you don't know where you're going. So let's talk about it: do you know where you're going? This message isn't meant to make you comfortable. So if you don't want to know where you're going, better skip this. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100823_3dc35/IKnowWhereI\'mGoing.m4a Eternity, Death, Life, Jesus Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) In every realm of relationships, career and undertakings, there are basic requirements and boundaries which must be observed. Finding and following God is no different. We just can't cut our own pattern and choose our own pathway. Take it or leave it: God acts like God and sets the way to find him. Here is a basic "must." But it's actually very positive in intent, though it sounds very negative in nature. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100816_2b6bf/GodSaysYouMust.m4a repent, god, repentance, Sun, 15 Aug 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: Eric Versluis Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) As a disciple of Jesus we are to live our lives as Jesus would live them. This means it's helpful for us to regularly ask the question 'What Would Jesus Do'. But how can we know what Jesus would do if we don't know what He did? Today we take a look at a day in the life of Jesus to see what He did so that we can know what to do. And once we know what to do...what happens then? http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100802_ebefb/WWJD-HowCanWeKnowWhatHe'dDoIfWeDon'tKnowWhatHeDid.m4a WWJD, Discipleship, Jesus, Samaritan, Lesson, Well, Love, Follow, Obey Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: Eric Versluis Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) If we've spent anytime in church at all, we're probably familiar with the imagery of 'inviting Jesus to live in our heart'. This can be a scary metaphor because Jesus is pretty spiritual (He is the Son of God after all) and most of the stuff in our lives (work, education, family, friends, tv, hobby's, facebook, bills, sleep) doesn't seem very spiritual at all. Does truly following Jesus mean we have to get rid of all the unspiritual furniture in our lives? Does more of Jesus mean less of me? Is there room for the two of us in the house of my heart? This morning we wrestle with these questions and offer some different imagery that may help to encourage us to invite Jesus into every room of our lives. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100726_47c33/ExtremeHomeMakeover_WhenJesusMovesIntoOurLives...WhatHappensToAllOfOurStuff.m4a surrender, discipleship, everyday, life, spiritual, music, house, heart, space, Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Spiritual Therapy. Sermon #10 This concluding message points out that spiritual growth and overcoming spiritual disorders is an ongoing process, a journey. Using Abraham as our model, we see four significant and increasingly intensive steps we are called to take on this trip. We must move on or we will go back. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100712_8c2bc/MoveOn.m4a Sun, 11 Jul 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: Spiritual Therapy Series: David Slauenwhite. Sermon #8 When life has hit you hard and now you hide in your hurts, it's easy to just sit and watch time go by. Spiritually, you may not be doing anything bad, but neither are you necessary doing much good. Responding to God's call and purpose for us requires that we step out of our comfort and safety zone to where we take risks in trusting God. Opening up our lives to what he wills may not be where we want to go, but if you start the journey, the joy of intimate fellowship with God makes it well worth while. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100705_d9eb2/OpenUp.m4a Sun, 04 Jul 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Spiritual Therapy.

Sermon #6 If we take an honest look at ourselves, we come to realize that we all have a spiritual dysfunction. The question is, now that we've realized we have flaws and weaknesses, what are we going to do about it? In our culture, (including the church), we tend to hide our weakness by misdirecting people's attention away from our flaws. Is this healthy? Is there a better way of dealing with this? http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100621_3fd24/UseYourIllusion.m4a dysfunction, confess, misdirection, health, mask, love, flaws, weakness, Sun, 20 Jun 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Spiritual Therapy. Sermon #5 Sometimes we get obsessed with fixing our world. We try to make people better, change our spouse, improve our kids, revive our church and change others. We feel better when we make them better; and we feel bad when they aren't good. We end up trying to control everyone, while out of control of ourselves. Jesus shows us that this way is spiritually disastrous. Are you so busy making everybody better that you're just about burnt out with it all?

Sermon #4 Addictions have become the current culture's condition. But it's more than just drugs and alcohol. Anything just to excess to fill your emptiness can become an addiction, even religion. . . yes, even prayer. When have you crossed the line spiritually into using spiritual things to fill the spot God is suppose to have in your life? ****We were having technical problems with our Mic's throughout the service so we apologize if the audio cuts in and out a bit during the podcast!**** http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100607_f50cf/SpiritualTherapy4_TooMuchofaGoodThing.m4a Empty, Addiction, Culture, Religion Sun, 06 Jun 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Spiritual Therapy. Sermon #3 Sometimes we hide hurts and spiritual struggles deep within. We are screaming at the same time: hold me in your love, but don't smother me with it. The parable of the prodigal son reveals two ways in which we hide our pain.

Sermon #2 Spiritual Abuse is any action in any religious context or otherwise, that distorts a victim's view of God as lacking love and grace, or that makes a person feel that one must earn or deserve the love and grace of God. The consequences are devastating, producing fear and shame. Jesus shows us a true view of God, others and self that liberates from this bondage. Instead of what I must do and what you must do, we discover what God has done. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100525_ae112/SpiritualTherapy2_IMustYouMust.m4a Abuse, Prayer, Fear, Shame, Masks, Love, Jesus, Religion Sun, 23 May 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Spiritual Therapy. Sermon #1 We are made as integrated beings: body, soul, spirit. We live with an interconnectedness in these three aspects of our life.

Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that "the heart is deceitful above all else". Which is it? The tendency is to create a set of rules telling us what we should and shouldn't do in any situation so our hearts don't have the opportunity to lead us astray. But rules don't really solve the root problem: the broken, fallen nature of our hearts. In this teaching we discuss all of this and discover the solution that the prophet Jeremiah promises and that the apostle Paul explains. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100419_8d224/ItWhispersSoftly.m4a Heart, Freedom, The Batchelor, American Idol, Jeremiah, Paul, Law, Rules, Spirit Sun, 18 Apr 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) Just because you're a believer in Christ and filled with the Spirit does not mean you won't have bad days, depressing times and stressful situations.

The resurrection declares his victory as Lord. Is it credible, defendable, realistic to believe that he actually rose? The evidence says yes; the critics say no. The verdict has significant ramifications.

This week we look at what God is doing about the problem of evil in our world? Why does He not seem to be doing more?

Why does God allow bad things to happen? These are the sorts of questions that we as Christians should be wrestling with. In this message we begin dealing with the question of how we reconcile the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God with what appears to be genuine evil? Maybe if we have a better understanding of what evil is it'll help us get a better perspective on these questions. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100315_fe083/DayandNight.m4a Good, Evil, Satan, God, Andrew Potter, Pat Robertson, Dominion, Surrender Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:30:00 EDT 0: David Slauenwhite Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) The big thing about Jesus coming again is not a catalog of signs, a chart of events, or a theory of times. It's simply to be ready and to live accordingly. The conditions of the world leading up to His coming aren't anyway near as significant as the condition of your life at His coming. The bottom line: are you ready? http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100222_3b85d/BeReady.m4a Second coming, Jesus, Love, Signs, Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:30:00 EST 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Joseph. Sermon #15 Reconciliation is not just about saying 'I'm sorry.' It's taking steps to restore a relationship. This involves facing the facts, forgiving the offense and opening our hearts. Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, not as an Egyptian potentate, but as their brother. He invites to enter into his life by calling them to come closer. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100208_3ce5f/ComeCloser.m4a Joseph, Emotions, Love Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:30:00 EST 0: Kurtis Felsman Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) To help keep things simple and assist in uniting our church in worship, we have decided to try something that we are calling the PSPT Song of the Month. Instead of semi-randomly adding in a new song to our roster of worship songs and then playing it sporadically over a period of a couple months, we've decided that we will simply introduce one new song each month and make that song a part of EVERY worship service for the entire month. Hopefully, this will give everyone a chance to grow comfortable with a new song and we trust the regular repetition should make these songs much easier to learn and love! The Song Of The Month also allows us all to focus our energies on one song. Instead of trying to learn several new songs at one time, we just have to learn one. In addition, we hope that by focusing in on one particular song, we will be able to share some of the stories behind each song with you, allowing you to get to know the songwriters intent a little better so that we all have a better understanding of where each song came from and what it's trying to say. For the very first song of the month we are pleased to be able to choose a song from a member of our very own congregation. Kurt Felsman has been an integral part of our worship team for well over a decade and is not only a talented musician, worship leader and vocalist but an excellent songwriter as well. We've chosen his song 'All Of My Life' as our Song Of The Month because we feel that it's lyric's of surrender to God and it's invitation for more of God's presence in our lives are wonderful expressions of what the heart's cry of a disciple of Jesus should be. Take a listen, sing along and we hope that over the next month you, as you come to know and love this song, it will become a cry of your heart and a new way of expressing worship to our Heavenly Father! http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20100203_4a855/AllOfMyLife-FinishedCopy.mp3 Worship, Song, Surrender, Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:30:00 EST 0: David Slauenwhite Series: Joseph. Sermon #14 God frequently steps into our lives to bring us to a stop. Here we have to face reality and do something about ourselves. The Brothers of Joseph, as they stand before him, are brought back to where they sinned. Now it's their move: to continue a life of deception or turn towards the truth. ****Apologies for any "missing" sections in the podcast.

Sermon #12 So your life has reached a turning point? Now everything is going to change, everything is going to be different, everything is going to be better! Or is it? Most times the turning points in our lives are just the beginning. Often times they are followed by long periods of waiting.

Sermon #11 Most of us try to avoid feeling pain whenever possible because pain is not a pleasant experience. But is it possible that how we respond to our pain, the attitude we choose when faced with suffering, is actually what defines what type of person we are? Today we look at Joseph's 'luggage' and how he responded to the pain and adversity in his life and compare it to how his father, Jacob, dealt with his pain.

Sermon #9 So just what is the good life? Joseph finally gets fair play. He is promoted to national leadership, granted authority and power, entitled to riches and fame, and even given a high society lady as wife. Not bad for the kid who used to tend sheep. But he never forgot God, even when loaded with the blessings of life. It is possible to be godly and have the good things of life too. Just as long as it is in that order. Jesus didn't say you had to choose between riches and righteousness. He warned that you have to put righteousness over riches. God is good. That means you can enjoy the good things he gives to you.

Sermon #8 God places into each person a 'dream' of what He intends to do in and through him or her. As in Joseph's case, it sometimes takes years and many struggles to realize its fulfilment. What is the dream God has given you? Is it still alive or dead? What are you doing with it? Wherever you're at in life, the dream still exists for God's purposes are eternal. Discern what the dream is all about and you'll see things God is doing in your life which you might never have recognized otherwise. http://www.pspt.ca/uploadify/uploads/audio/20091027_87615/Joseph_GodHasADreamForYou.m4a vision, dreams, God's will, your life Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:30:00 EDT 55:05 Eric Versluis Stand-alone sermon (not part of a series) Ever wonder why we eat thanksgiving dinner and then most of us just want to curl up in a ball and have a nap? Maybe it's because we've eaten so much that our bodies are worn out from working so hard to digest it all? Maybe it's some sort of chemical in the Turkey that makes us tired? Maybe it's because we're working so hard without ever stopping to rest that when we do stop, all of our tiredness catches up with us. Maybe we're out of rhythm with the way God created us to live?

Sermon #5 When a church is just going through the routines, it needs to be shaken up and straightened out. We're not doing the Great Commission when we don't know where we're going or what we're doing. After you develop a Mission Statement (with purpose and process), then comes a Vision of what that will look like. However, without a Strategy, nothing happens. This message concludes a five part series on the Church: Something Worth Bothering About. It is a chat about the strategy of implementing our mission and vision in this local church.

Sermon #4 What makes a church 'alive'? Maybe the difference between an ineffective church and an effective church is not the number of programs it runs or the style of service it offers. Maybe the difference is simply focus; what is the purpose driving all of these programs and services? Are they helping the church achieve it's mission or are they getting in the way?
