Peachtree Christian Church Sermons

You don't arrive. You keep walking. On the third Sunday of Easter, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons follows two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35), where Jesus appears as a stranger, opens the scriptures, and is recognized only in the breaking of bread — then vanishes, sending them back the way they came with hearts still burning. Drawing on his own near-death experience and the fade-out that follows any spiritual high, Longbons makes the case that black belts are beginners and the Christian life is less arrival than savoring. Keep walking, pilgrims. Christ is still on the road.#PilgrimsOfHope #Emmaus #Luke24 #RoadToEmmaus #BreakingOfBread #HeartsBurning #EasterSeason #ThirdSundayOfEaster #SacredPilgrimage #Discipleship #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

What if the locked room where the disciples hid was the garden where God was breathing life back into the world? On the second Sunday of Easter, Rev. Brooks Gignilliat reads John 20:19–31 against the opening pages of Genesis — and finds Jesus, on the first day of the week, breathing on his disciples the way God once breathed on Adam. Thomas wants to grasp; he wants the facts in his own hands. But faith isn't grasping — it's letting go long enough to say, "My Lord and my God." The point was never the answers. The point is the relationship.#PilgrimsOfHope #DoubtingThomas #John20 #NewCreation #BreathOfLife #SecondSundayOfEaster #EasterSeason #FromFearToFaith #MyLordAndMyGod #SacredPilgrimage #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevBrooksGignilliat

The Roman soldiers had everything the world calls life — power, position, pay — and at the sight of resurrection, they fell over like dead men. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary had nothing the world counts — and they ran from the empty tomb fully alive, fear and joy pulsing through them. On Easter Sunday, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons preaches Matthew 28:1–10 alongside St. Irenaeus's old line: the glory of God is a human being fully alive. Christ is risen. The question is whether you are.#eastersunday #Easter2026 #Matthew28 #ChristIsRisen #ResurrectionDay #FullyAlive #GloryOfGod #StIrenaeus #EmptyTomb #TheTwoMarys #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

Jesus comes to Jerusalem to cause good trouble — the holy kind. On Palm Sunday, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons reads Matthew 21:1–11 against a Passover-swelled city the size of an Olympic host town, where every pilgrim hoped for a king to throw off Rome — and got, instead, a king on a donkey who refuses to give what we want so he can give what we need. The waving palms become a question: are we ready to follow a Lord whose triumph looks like trouble, and whose throne looks like a cross?Hashtags: #PilgrimsOfHope #PalmSunday #Matthew21 #TriumphalEntry #HolyWeek #GoodTrouble #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #Hosanna #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons

Some pilgrimages take you exactly where you don't want to go. On the fifth Sunday of Lent, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons walks with Mary, Martha, and a grieving community to the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:1–45), reflecting on his own season of serious illness — when "fight" and "journey" couldn't carry the weight, but pilgrimage could. Jesus delays. Jesus weeps. Jesus calls the dead out by name. When the path leads through scary places, walk it anyway — because Christ is already ahead, and life waits on the far side of the stone.#pilgrimsofhope #Lazarus #Lent2026 #John11 #IAmTheResurrection #LentenJourney #SacredPilgrimage #FifthSundayOfLent #FaithThroughGrief #PCCAtlanta #PeachtreeChristianChurch #SermonSeries #RevDrJarrodLongbons
