Images of Christ and the Second Commandment (Appendix): Iconoclasm in Church History
This episode is the supplemental material referenced in Part 2 of the "Images of Christ and the Second Commandment" series. In this Sunday school recording, Pastor Adam Parker traces the history of images in the church from the early fathers through the Iconoclast controversy of the 8th century. He examines how the church's original opposition to images gradually gave way as paganism entered the church, and walks through the theological arguments on both sides leading up to the Second Council of Nicaea in 787 AD.

Images of Christ and the Second Commandment (Part 2)
Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole continue a two-part series on making images of Jesus. In this second episode, they approach the topic theologically and historically. Drawing on Deuteronomy 4 and the 754 AD Council of Hieria, they argue that any depiction of Christ forces the artist into one of two ancient heresies: Nestorianism or monophysitism. They also address The Chosen and why the Reformed opposition to images is not a Reformation novelty, but a recovery of the position held by the early church fathers.

Images of Christ and the Second Commandment (Part 1)
Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole begin a two-part series on making images of Jesus. In this first episode, they approach the topic pastorally, sharing their own backgrounds with images of Christ in film, art, and church settings, and exploring why even well-intentioned depictions fall short. They discuss what the Westminster Larger Catechism teaches about the sins forbidden in the Second Commandment and make the case that images of Christ offer little practical benefit while training the mind on something invented rather than revealed. The next episode will take a deeper theological dive into why an image of Christ is an image of God and why making one leads inevitably into heresy.

Jacob's Family and God's Faithfulness
Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole discuss the complicated family dynamics of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah. They explore the rivalry between the sisters and their desperate attempts to earn Jacob's love through childbearing, drawing connections to Paul's teaching in Romans about works versus grace. They offer encouragement to parents who recognize dysfunction in their own homes, reminding listeners that God faithfully raises up covenant children even from imperfect families.

Passing the Baton: Immanuel PCA's Particularization (w/ Seth Miller)
In this episode, Adam Parker and Matthew Poole are joined by Seth Miller, church planter at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Post Falls, Idaho. They discuss the upcoming particularization service for Immanuel and what it looks like for a mission work to transition into a particular church within the PCA. The conversation covers the biblical and practical necessity of ruling elders, the providential growth of the congregation in Idaho, and the joy of "passing the baton" from a temporary session to local shepherds. Having supported this work for the last two years, Evergreen celebrates the Lord's faithfulness in this new milestone for Immanuel Presbyterian.

The Doctrine of Providence
Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole discuss the biblical doctrine of God's providence and why it matters for everyday life. They define providence as God both preserving and governing all of creation. Adam and Matthew explain how believing in God's sovereignty and goodness provides peace and comfort even when we can't understand His purposes. They discuss how providence differs from mere foreknowledge, address common objections, and emphasize that trusting God's character is essential for finding rest in difficult circumstances. This episode offers both theological grounding and pastoral encouragement for believers walking through trials. This podcast is a ministry of Evergreen Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Beaverton, Oregon.

Our "Strategic Faith Plan"
In this episode, Pastors Adam Parker and Matthew Poole discuss Evergreen's newly developed Strategic Faith Plan presented to the congregation in January 2026.

Adam and Matthew explain the five strategic priorities for the coming year. They also address common questions about the plan, including concerns about busyness vs. depth, Neighborly Nights participation, building expansion costs, and how the church can maintain its welcoming feel while growing toward future church planting.
