Get Started (January 1, 2017)
Do you spend so much time thinking about how to start something
and then end up never actually starting it? In this sermon, we
looked at the life of Moses and how he had excuses when God told
him to go back to Egypt and free the Israelites. For every excuse
we have, God will always be with us and equip us if we just step
out in faith. Let's get 2017 started off right.
Free - A Study of Galatians (January 8 - February 26, 2017)
When we think of freedom, it normally moves us in two
directions. There is freedom from the things we long to be
delivered from, and there is freedom to live the way that we want
to live. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at the
book of Galatians in the Bible to see how we can truly do both.
Communion (March 5, 2017)

Christ.

Holy Spirit (November 2017)
The Unexpected Gift (December 2017)
During the month of December we will take a closer look at the
very first Christmas.
Sometimes we receive a gift that we really need but is not what
we were hoping for. This is true of the first Christmas, because
Jesus is the gift that everyone needs, but He wasn't the gift that
everyone was expecting.

100 Years in Ministry Celebration Message (June 26, 2016)
In 2016, Pleasantview celebrated 100 years in ministry! Our
big celebration Sunday was June 26, 2016.
Among those present that day were Pleasantview Pastors (and
wives) Bob & Diane Wido, Mark & Cheryl Grossoehme, Walt
& Linda Frankenberry, Russell & Margaret Huizing, Joseph
& Marnie Pjecha and Keith & Jamie Draa.
Each former pastor present gave a brief greeting to the
congregation. Former Pastor Bill & Doris Murphy were unable to
attend but sent a greeting, as did the President of the C&MA in
the US, Rev. Dr. John Stumbo.
The District Superintendent of the Western PA District of the
Christian & Missionary Alliance, Rev. Dr. Jeff Norris,
brought a message of encouragement from God's Word.
At the conclusion of the service, we shared a wonderful picnic
meal and many games and activities. It was a delight to see many
"old" faces and reminisce.
Thank you to all who took time to be with us on that special
day.

I know my family? Is hell real? Can Satan ever become

these questions along with others in our new series "Heaven &
Hell - separating fact from fiction."
Easter 2016 (March 13, 20, 27, 2016)
Leading up to Easter we will be taking a different approach to
how we look at Jesus. We usually look to him for all the
answers, but as you look through Scripture, Jesus asked us a lot of
questions - over 300 - questions that force us to decide
what we belive. Join us over the next three weeks as we look
at 3 questions Jesus asked, "Why are you so afraid?", "Do You
believe I can do this?", and "Why do you doubt?"
Colossians: Complete in Christ (January 10 - March 6, 2016)
Do you feel like a piece of the puzzle of your life is

The Cast of Christmas (November 29 - December 13, 2015)
The Cast of Christmas
Most of us have been to a Christmas Pageant. Children are
dressed up as various characters and placed in a nativity
scene. Some are sheep or cows; others are shepherds or
wisemen. One boy will be Joseph, a girl will be Mary, and
usually, a baby doll is cast in the coveted role of baby Jesus.
Have you ever looked at the characters in these pageants or your
own nativity set and asked, "Who were these people? What were
their stories? What brought them to this spectific incredible
event?" Over the next few weeks we will be looking at "The
Cast of Christmas" and discovering life lessons from those who came
to "see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us
about." (Luke 2:15)
The Prayer Series (November 1 - 22, 2015)

How Do You Respond? (July 26, 2015)
Greater Than (May 31 - July 12, 2015)
With all the disappointments and struggles we face, it's easy to
get discouraged and get to the point where we don't even want to
try at all, and that's just the way the enemy wants it. But
it doesn't have to be that way. Come find out how God's truth
> the enemy's lies, how Jesus' peace > my problems, and God's
calling > my comfort.
What It Means to be an Authentic Man (1) (June 21, 2015)
Mother's Day (May 10, 2015)
The Book of James (February 15 - May 24, 2015)
The Book of James paints a clear picture of what a true
relationship with Jesus should look like. Do you have
confidence in God? Do you believe that God tests but never
tempts? What is the only proper response to God's Word?
Join us Sundays at 10:15 for this series.
Easter: Everything Changed. (April 5, 2015)
By His Wounds We are Healed (March 22, March 29, 2015)
"Every wrong we have done and every wrong that has been done to
us has been swallowed up in every right that Jesus has done and in
every wrong that has been done to him."
-- Louie Giglio
Come out this Sunday at 10:15 and discover that through Jesus'
wounds we are healed!
The State of the Church (March 15, 2015)
Yes, LORD. Walking in the way of your truth, we wait eagerly for
you, for your name and your renown are the desire of our
souls. Isaiah 26:8
Baptism (February 8, 2015)
Baptism - Raised to New Life!
Baptism is the public expression of a believer's faith. At
Pleasantview, we like to say that baptism is a way of "going
public" with a new life in Christ.
On Sunday, February 8, several people are making a public
declaration of their choice to follow Christ. Join us for this
special baptism service, which begins at 10:15 AM (our usual
time). We will also be celebrating communion.

Is it OK for Christians to drink? Can Christians celebrate
Halloween? How do you know if you are saved?
You've got questions; the Bible has answers! This sermon series
is called Q&A and will answer questions that have recently been
submitted by the congregation.
The Joy of Access (Missions Conference) (October 26 - 28, 2014)
All In (September 28 - October 19, 2014)
"It (the Gospel) doesn't cost anything, but it demands
everything. It demands that we go 'all in,' a term that
simply means placing all that you have into God's hands.
Pushing it all in. And that's where we get stuck -- spiritual
no man's land. We're afraid that if we go all in that we miss
out on what this life has to offer. And the good news is
this: if you don't hold out on God, God won't hold out on
you." (Mark Batterson)
Over the next four weeks we will be looking at what it means to
go "all in" in these four areas of our lives: living,
telling, serving, and giving.
A Pastor's Farewell (September 21, 2014)
Pleasantview Alliance Church was privileged to have Pastor
Joseph Pjecha serve as Associate Pastor for more than eleven years.
This sermon was his final message to us prior to moving to Roanoke,
VA, where he accepted the position of Senior Pastor at Faith
Alliance Church.
Pastor Joseph will be very missed at Pleasantview.
Reaching Out (September 14, 2014)
No More Excuses (August 24, 2014 - September 7, 2014)
A 3-part sermon series taken from the book of Judges.
Somebody Bigger Than You and I (August 17, 2014)
Jonah (July 20 - August 10, 2014)
God works in miracles through those who obey, though we often
choose to rebel against Him. Whether we choose a path of
obedience or rebellion, our God is the God of second chances.
Few stories illustrate this principle more clearly than the story
of Jonah.
Church: A Study in the Book of Acts (cont.) (January 12 - July 13, 2014)
The book of Acts provides a unique opportunity to see the birth,
growth, and maturing of the early church. God has graciously
recorded that for us so that through our highs and lows, joys and
concerns, we might learn from those who have traveled those paths
before us. Join us each week as we listen to not only what
God says about the church 2,000 years ago but for our church
today.
This sermon series began Sept. 1, 2013, and continues into this
new year of 2014.
Foundational Truth (April 27, 2014 - May 25, 2014)
A solid foundation is necessary for any structure or building to
stand the test of time. The same principle is true for the
Chrsitian Life and Faith. God gives us Foundational Truth
taught throughout His Word, which He intends for us to know,
understand, believe and put into practice. They remain
constant, do not need repair, and always weather the storms when
they occur. Take note of Jesus' words in Matthew
8:24-27. Do you hear and heed?
Lent (March 9 - April 20, 2014)
During this season of Lent, we are considering the seven
sayings that were spoken by Jesus as He hung on the cross in the
very act of bearing the sins of the world.
The Resurrection Sunday sermon is included here with the Lent
sermons.
The Coming of Messiah (December 1, 2013 - December 29, 2013)
This sermon series begins with "The Prophecy of Messiah"
(Isaiah 9:6-7), followed by "Mary, the mother of Messiah"
(Luke 1:26-38), "Joseph the Guardian of Messiah" (Matt.
1:18-25), "Christ, the Savior is Born" (Luke 2:1-20), and concludes
on Christmas Eve (7:00 service) with "Since Christ Has
Come, Now What?"

Jesus is the Answer (June 2 - August 25, 2013)
You've got questions...we've got an answer. Jesus! While that
may seem somewhat chliche and simplistic, we really do believe that
Jesus is the key that interprets not only Scripture but all of life
and creation. This summer, our sermon series will focus on
questions, topics, and Bible passages submitted to the pastors from
our congregation. For more information on our church
service, click here.
I Now Pronounce You... (April 7 - May 26, 2013)
So often we think that our marriages are vehicles for our
happiness. But what if the purpose of marriage was much more? What
if they are designed to produce holiness and become a picture for
all - children, couples, singles, widow(er)s - of our relationship
with Christ? What if marriages were designed to reflect the
character of God? Our sermon series for April and May will study
the characteristics of biblical couples to see how they reveal the
character of God. For more information on our church
service, click here.
Meeting the Living God (February 10 - March 31, 2013)
Our sermon series throughout the Lent season will focus upon the
individuals who met the living, resurrected Jesus to prepare our
own hearts to meet with the Living God, Jesus, Our Savior.
Throughout the series we will see that the risen Jesus met people
in their grief, fear, complexity, doubt, surrender, and guilt with
comfort, peace, simplicity, assurance, confidence, and confession.

Fulfilling Our Commission (January 6 - February 3, 2013)
Faith is only the beginning. Once we trust in Jesus, there is a
life that He has called us to that has been summarized by the Great
Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). This sermon series studies the
various elements of this commission, challenging us to live these
elements out in practical ways each day of our life.

Christ Alone: The Scarlet Thread (December 2 - December 30, 2012)
Talk about God and people will allow you to go on and on. Talk
about Jesus and suddenly a line in the sand has been drawn. We are
not only God-believers, we are Christ-followers - but who is this
Jesus that we worship? Our sermon series for this year will focus
upon Jesus and His ministry throughout time. We will listen to what
God tells us through Scripture about who Jesus is, his sacrifice
for us, how He is revealed as our Priest, how He is the focus of
the Gospel, how He is in us and we are in Him, and His promised
return. As we come to a true picture of who Jesus is, we will find
that through faith in Him, we are being transformed into His
likeness and becoming a reflection of Him to others.

Prayer and the Presence of God ()
"A life without prayer is a boast against God." - Owen Carr
Too often as Christians, we live boastful lives. Our weekends

in our lives so that we learn to bask in the presence of God
through prayer.

The Year of the Harvest: Resting (November 11-December 25, 2011)
Our sermon series this coming year will be focused on the
harvest - harvesting the fruit in our spiritual lives, in our
families, in our finances, in our work, and in our church. None of
these aspects of our life belong to us - they have been graciously
furnished to us by God - but He does expect a harvest from them and
for us to offer to Him the fruits of our labor. We are spending an
entire year on it because none of us - apart from a miraculous work
of God - can bring about a harvest in one season. It takes
planning, preparing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and even a
time of fallow ground or rest. Each is a different season of our
spiritual lives. We skip a season at the risk of damaging the
harvest. Spiritual formation - in your life and in our church -
takes time. We are going to spend the time this year learning how
to take care of the vineyard that God has put us in charge of.

How Will You Respond? (November 28-January 2)
During this season of Advent leading up to the celebration of
the birth of Jesus, our theme is the question, "How will you
respond?" The baby in the manger demands a response. You can ignore
Him, you can hate Him, you can worship Him, you can tell others
about Him.there are many responses, but His very presence demands a
response from you. How will you respond?
Grabbing the Wind (October 10, 2010 - November 21, 2010)
How does one describe blue to a blind person? Often teachers
will use experiences that we often designate with that color: cold,
wind, sadness, blueberries. How does one describe the Holy Spirit?
In much the same way, it is impossible to 'grab Him.' But Scripture
uses many images of the Holy Spirit throughout its pages. This
series will attempt to help us know the Holy Spirit more intimately
by focusing on these images provided for us by God.
Open Doors (September 5 - October 3, 2010)
As we prepare for our annual Missions Conference, we are looking
at the phrases in Isaiah 61:1-2 quoted by Jesus as a summary of His
ministry. Each week, we will look at how Jesus accomplishes those
characteristics of His ministry through his church and how they
will be culminated in Him.
The Promise-Maker & Promise-Keeper (6/6/10-8/29/10)
The Bible contains literally thousands of promises that God has
made to humanity as well as His people. This summer we will study a
sampling of those promises to see what they tell us about the
character of God the Father, how they are fulfilled through Jesus,
and how they are obtained through the Holy Spirit. Be challenged
through this series to not only know the promises of God,
but to believe that they can be true in your life.
God Sightings (April 11, 2010 - May 30, 2010)
There are memorable moments of our life where we have
unmistakably seen God - maybe in nature, maybe in another person,
maybe in a passage of Scripture. Is there any reason why we can't
see God every day? This series studies the appearances of Jesus
after His resurrection to learn where to look for Jesus in our own
lives.
Why Such Little Faith? (Lent 2010)
