For the One | Gone Fishing | Brent Parsley

Part 3 of For the One What comes to mind when you hear the word evangelism? Many people think about arguments, pressure, and awkward conversations. But when Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t say, “Follow me, and I’ll make you mean.” He said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” In this message from our For the One series, Pastor Brent teaches how Jesus forms His followers into people who can reach others with wisdom and love. Evangelism is about being wise in ordinary moments, caring about what people care about, adding value to their lives, showing love without conditions, and being ready to share the hope we have in Jesus. If sharing your faith has ever felt intimidating, this message will help you see it as a normal part of following Jesus.

For the One | More Workers Wanted | Brent Parsley

Part 2 of For the One What does it look like to share your faith in a way that feels like Jesus? In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two followers and tells them the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. But His approach is not pressure or arguments. Jesus teaches His people to pray, go together, move with gentleness, look for people of peace, build real relationships, serve real needs, and then tell people that the Kingdom of God has come near. In this episode of For the One, Pastor Brent talks about evangelism without pressure and discipleship without weirdness. You will learn why prayer comes first, why gentleness matters, why relationships are central, and how the simple rhythm of BLESS — Begin with prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, and Story — can help you live on mission in everyday life. The Gospel is not just “tell and show.” It is “show and tell.” And Jesus is still calling workers into His harvest.

For the One | Prepare the Party | Brent Parsley

Part 1 of For the One Most Christians believe sharing their faith matters, but many feel nervous or afraid they will say the wrong thing. In this message, Pastor Brent begins the series For the One by walking through Luke 15 and Jesus’ stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the two lost sons. These stories reveal the heart of a Father who searches, runs, restores, and celebrates when even one person comes home. Evangelism is not meant to be pressure, performance, or religious obligation. It is the overflow of God’s love in us for the people around us. This episode will encourage you to pray for one person, build real relationships, share your story, and live ready for the party Heaven throws when the lost are found.

How to Overcome a Negative Mindset - Pam Lina

What do you do when your thoughts feel loud, your emotions feel overwhelming, and your circumstances start shaping the way you see God, yourself, and your future? In this message, we look at Hebrews 4:12 and the powerful truth that the Word of God is alive and active, able to divide soul and spirit and reveal what is really happening in the heart. We’ll also look at how Scripture teaches us to fight spiritual battles, take thoughts captive, overcome negative mentalities, and fix our eyes on Jesus. This is a message about renewing your mind, trusting God with your past, putting your present in perspective, and holding on to the future God has promised.

Better | What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?

Part 7 of Better What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit? And what are we supposed to do with speaking in tongues? For some Christians, these questions are exciting. For others, they are confusing or connected to some bad experiences. But in Acts 1, Jesus called the Holy Spirit “the gift my Father promised,” and told His disciples to wait until they received power. In this message, Pastor Brent Parsley teaches through Acts 1–2, 1 Corinthians 12–14, and other key Scriptures to bring biblical clarity to Holy Spirit baptism, Pentecost, and the gift of tongues. This message explains that the Holy Spirit is involved in salvation, but also fills and empowers believers for mission, prayer, courage, and witness. You’ll also hear a practical and pastoral explanation of speaking in tongues, what it is, what it isn't, why Paul gives order for its use in worship, and why spiritual gifts should always build up the church in love. The Holy Spirit is not someone to be skeptical of and avoid. He is the presence and power of God given to the people of God. Promised Land Church is located in East Aurora, NY, and exists to help people follow Jesus together in Western New York.
