As Pastor Daniel Brown leads in a time of reflection on the modern church. He recognizes that we have begun to approach critique of the church with a jaded and cynical spirit. Pointing back through scripture in Paul's letters to the many churches of the world, we can see that although the church struggles and fails at times, Paul rejoices with God that these churches exist. Even while correcting them.

As we continue in this series, Pastor Lucy Hulme reads from John 15. Particularly looking at God's commandment for us to LOVE one other. That to be the global church in Denver, Colorado, means to love one another and to create lasting fruit. As it has become easy to forget, we must repent and apologize for where we have forgotten to love as the church. Join us in this time, as we may share love and aim to create lasting fruit together. By remaining in Christ.

As we are in a new series called "Church Is _____", Pastor Rob Brendle continues in Matthew 16 by focusing on particular Peter's role in the global church. By looking at scripture, we can learn that the church is HUMAN, and made to be so. Join us as we look into why this is so.

We start a new series today: Church Is _____. In Matthew 16, Jesus says, "I will build MY church...", making it clear that the Church, the global assembly of "called out ones", is PLAN A. The Church is not perfect and you can't get a clear picture of the Church by looking at one snapshot, pastor, local body or single denomination. But the Church is still Plan A.

So often in life, in order to use our relationships for credibility or validation, we prop up our own insecurity with the names of heroes and celebrities. The questions that the Pharisees asked Jesus to name drop for himself, "by whose authority are you doing these things?!" In typical Jesus fashion, He responds by simply holding a mirror up to their selfish agenda--recognition, power & wealth--the desire for credibility & validation. Jesus teaches an AUTHENTIC FAITH that relies completely on God sacrificially.

In today’s message we find Jesus radically redirecting discipleship. In just one sentence, He goes after the core issue of our human brokenness: our self-will and grasp for CONTROL. “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.”

Mark 8 finds Jesus HEALING one kind of blindness and WARNING to the disciples about another. "The physical healing of the blindman serves as a paradigm", for Jesus' teaching about the blindness of the pharisees. Join us today as we look to see if there are any blindspots in our own lives or places where we need Jesus to apply some "corrective lenses".

Today's discussion, looking through Mark chapters 5 & 6, leads us to a "tale of two cities"...one driven by fear, the other by faith. Pastor Rob teaches us to look at Scripture through the lenses of "What does it say?" (SPECIFIC text) "What does it mean?" (CONtext) and "What does it mean for me? (personal DISCOVERY)".

Join us as we begin our "Through The Bible" series, exploring the Gospel of Mark! Pastor Neil kicks off the series with "An Introduction" to do a bit of a deeper dive into why our value of 'Centrality of Scripture' is so important.

This week we continue our look through Mark. In chapter 4, Jesus asks, "How can I describe the Kingdom of God?" Pastor Raissa digs deep into the question AND Jesus own answer, the parable of the Mustard Seed. Join us for this in-depth look as well as our weekly reading plan!
