Packinghouse’s Wednesday night worship service from June 24, 2026. Exodus 4 emphasizes that God does not call people because they are qualified, but because He is faithful. Pastor Greg explains how Moses repeatedly offers excuses, focusing on his failures, fears, insecurities, and perceived weaknesses, yet God continually reminds him that His presence is all that matters. Through the signs of the staff, the leprous hand, and the Nile water, God demonstrates His authority over Pharaoh, sin, and Egypt, assuring Moses that He will accomplish His purposes despite human weakness. The message encourages believers not to let past mistakes, personal struggles, or feelings of inadequacy keep them from obeying God's calling, since He often chooses broken people who rely on His strength. Ultimately, God calls His people to stop making excuses, trust His promises, and step forward in faith, knowing that He equips those He sends. Follow us: - Greg Opean - Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from June 21, 2026. Acts 8:26–40 focuses on Philip’s divine appointment with the Ethiopian eunuch. Pastor Rick emphasizes that God often redirects His people from places of visible success to seemingly insignificant opportunities because every individual matters to Him. Philip’s willingness to obey, listen, and engage one searching man leads to the eunuch discovering that Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy and removed every barrier that once kept him from God. The message highlights that believers are not called to force spiritual conversations but to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit, recognize divine appointments, and faithfully participate in what God is already doing in people’s lives.

The message challenges believers to move beyond superficial relationships, build genuine Christian community, and use their lives, gifts, encouragement, and time to help others grow in Christ.

Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from June 7, 2026. In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses two practical issues that were creating problems in the church: believers taking one another to court and the misuse of sexual freedom. He reminds Christians that God has called His people to live differently, resolving conflicts with wisdom and grace rather than bringing disputes before unbelievers. Paul also warns against lifestyles marked by unrepentant sin, while emphasizing the transforming power of the gospel: “such were some of you,” but through Christ believers have been washed, sanctified, and justified. Turning to the subject of sexual immorality, Paul teaches that our bodies belong to the Lord and are temples of the Holy Spirit. Because believers have been redeemed at the highest price—the blood of Jesus Christ—we are called to honor God with both our bodies and our lives. - Ed Rea - Sunday, June 7, 2026

Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from April 26, 2026. Revelation 18 presents a sobering picture of the collapse of Babylon—a world system built on wealth, power, and self-sufficiency apart from God—and calls believers to examine what they are truly building their lives upon. The chapter reveals how everything people trusted in—money, trade, influence, even human lives treated as commodities—will ultimately fall silent under God’s just judgment, exposing the emptiness of misplaced devotion. In contrast, God’s people are called to “come out” from that system, not by leaving the world, but by refusing to anchor their identity and hope in what is temporary. The message continually brings us back to a simple but weighty truth: build your life on what lasts—Jesus Christ—because everything else, no matter how secure it seems, will one day fade. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, April 26, 2026
