To realign our hearts with God's, we need to start with the foundation...His calling.由Downtown Community Church

There’s nothing really new in the world. The moment progress is felt, the same pains, the same injustices, the same wickedness rear their smug faces. We take two steps forward and two steps back. Some want to say things are always getting worse while others are saying things are getting better, and then the weather changes and so does both of their…

You will choose pain. Pain now with Discipline or Pain later over regret, which will be much greater.由Downtown Community Church

Love is thrown around to describe all sorts of relationships, but there is a love the Bible condemns over and over: the love of money. We all have an off again, on again love affair with wealth. The questions most pressing are first, why is that so dangerous and second, where can we go looking for love instead? Join us as we continue to learn from …

Today, we will hear how the Teacher addresses the pursuit of pleasure and shows how that too is a dead end out of the maze of life. There is no satisfaction from pleasure under the sun. As we go through Ecclesiastes 2, we will see three things about pleasure: 1) pleasure promises much, but 2) pleasure produces pain when it’s pursued above all else,…

In the story of Jacob and Esau, we see one of deceit and manipulation. For Esau, he ends up giving away his birthright for a bowl of soup. As students leave for the summer and we look at our lives, will we look back and see that we gave up our faith for things of this world? Genesis 25:21-34 Watch on YouTube.…

Imagine you are accused of a crime, and despite the utter lack of evidence to convict, you are declared “guilty” by a jury of your peers. Imagine now you have a significant amount of evidence that proves your innocence, and still, the jury declares you “guilty.” It is this very miscarriage of justice that Jesus experienced by the religious leaders …

Across every major world religion and for anyone who has heard His name, everyone has a take on Jesus. The real question is “Who does Jesus say He is?” Join us as we walk through a unique moment in Jesus’ life, where Jesus unapologetically reveals who He is, and invites us to hear Him out. I’ll put it this way, if it’s not true, it’s absolutely cra…

What prevents us from responding properly to Jesus? In our passage, we see someone who gets what he has been waiting 38 years for, and seems totally unaffected by God’s gracious gift. Even the religious leaders observing the miracle care more about their religious traditions than a man being healed. We are going to look at three main ways that hind…

Jesus says that real, lasting change is both necessary and actually possible, though not in the way you might think. Join …
