"There Are So Many Teens Who Need a Person in Their Lives": A Conversation with Missy Bell on the Christian Call to Orphan Care

There are currently 1,400 kids in the San Diego foster system. What is life like for a child in the system? What happens to the kids who don't end up placed in a foster home? In this illuminating conversation, Missy Bell briefly describes "the state of the union" of foster care in our city, as well as practical ways the Church of Jesus can literally participate in saving young lives.

God's Chosen Fast: Embracing the Unfortunate Quartet

Today we kickoff of SEVEN 2025—a multi-church week of worship, prayer and fasting. According to Isaiah 58, the fast God chooses is not a fast that simply benefits the ones fasting. Instead, true fasting leads us to embrace the poor and vulnerable in the name of Christ Jesus. But what does this look like practically? Today, Evan Wickham presents the "what" and "why" of fasting, and then we get to hear from amazing representatives from the following four Park Hill Church's justice partners. Our true fasting will lead to kingdom action alongside partners such as these: 
Missy Bell, Olive Crest.
Ashley Guzik Murray, San Diego Rescue Mission.
Alex Huerta, Hope Leadership Academy.
Wheeler Fisher, GenerateHope.
 
 
 

Hope Heals: The Hidden Secret of Forgiveness

Matthew Pursley teaches from Genesis 45:1-7, exploring how challenging and frustrating forgiveness can be. Saying "I forgive you" is often easier than truly meaning it from the heart. Yet, God promises that when we lay our pain at the feet of Jesus, we can experience true healing.

Do What Jesus Did

This is part three of our vision series. When Jesus calls disciples to follow him, he invites them to become fishers of people. This means all followers of Jesus are to be agents of renewal by drawing people into the kingdom work God is already doing in the world. And Jesus doesn’t leave us alone in this work. He promises the empowering presence of his Holy Spirit to us.

Become Like Jesus

For Part 2 of our 2025 Vision series, we consider what it means (and requires) to become like Jesus. Could it be true that God offers us the power to change today? What would it look like to become a church that “strenuously contends” to see one another mature spiritually? Come and see.
