The Beloved Community - Dan Cathy, Lecrae, Louie Giglio
June 15, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 67.1 MB"Injustice is about the system. Racism is about the heart.

Radical Grace
June 01, 2020 15:12 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB“Humility is birthed at the foot of the cross." — In the second week of our series ANCHOR, Pastor Ben Stuart brings a timely and important message about the radical grace of God. We are not only reconciled with God through the cross; the cross also restores relationships with each other. The gospel is not worth preaching if it does not have the power to break down the wall dividing ethnic groups. The grace of God is so radical that it makes enemies not just into friends but into a family. ...
What Matters Most to God
May 25, 2020 12:54 - 44 minutes - 40.6 MB“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 This is a powerful statement from someone who understood what mattered most to God, and therefore what should matter most to us. But it’s hard, it’s difficult to wrap our minds why we have to decrease, and what that really means. Pastor Brad Jones kicks off a new series, ANCHOR, with a look at the life of John the Baptist, and what we can learn from this famous exchange between him and his followers to help us see not only what mat...

Life is Hard — God is Good
May 18, 2020 16:09 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBAlmost nothing is guaranteed, except for two things: Life is Hard. God is Good. That’s it; those are the two guarantees we’re walking away with today. The first one, life is hard, no one ever really had to teach us. The second one is a whole different story. God is good… all the time. So what happens when that truth faces off against real life? What happens when we are confronted with the truth that the story of Jesus-followers is a story of hardship? How do we reconcile the mountain of ...

Pain + Possibility
May 04, 2020 17:29 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBHow we handle hardship could be the heroic thing inside of all of us. Just look at the life of King David: David was anointed by God as a teenager, told he would be king in time. He played the harp for the king, killed the giant Goliath, became the head of the military and married the king’s daughter. David was the most famous person in the whole kingdom and beloved by everyone around him. Everyone except the king. Join Pastor Ben Stuart as he breaks down how each of us can learn...
What Now?
April 27, 2020 16:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBThis probably isn't how you imagined your year would look. Chances are you didn't anticipate a global pandemic, a shelter-in-place order or having to spend each day wondering when things would return to the way they were. There was no plan for postponing your dream wedding, celebrating your grandson's birthday through a video call or mourning the loss of a loved one with far fewer people than they deserved. You didn't ask for your situation, but you can turn the page on it. With Passion C...

April 20, 2020 16:00 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBDavid knew what it felt like to experience moments of desperation.

How Will We Make It?
April 06, 2020 18:29 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBThese days are hard. They aren’t what we planned, and there’s no end in sight. So how are we supposed to not only live through these days but to live well in the midst of them? The answer can be found in the book of Hebrews. But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, (you came out of the blocks strong!) sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had c...
Where is God?
March 30, 2020 16:24 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBWhere is God? It's a valid question and one that no one should feel shame about asking. One of the wonderful attributes of God is that He isn't afraid of our questions. Our searching for God gives Him another chance to put His Glory and His overarching story on display. Besides, this is hardly a new question. Overwhelming? Yes. Original? No. It's the very same question that has bounced around the minds of believers and skeptics for thousands of years. — With Passion City Online you ca...
20 Inches to Mercy
March 23, 2020 16:21 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBWhat the world needs most today, what our cities and communities need most today, what we all need most today is a spiritual awakening. Here’s the good news. It’s possible. Right now, God is closer to you than you think. How close? Twenty inches. Twenty inches is all that separates you from, “then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” It’s the twenty inches between your knees and the ground. It’s assuming a position of kneeling before the ...
Why Christianity is Not a Crutch
March 16, 2020 16:00 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MB"We have never seen anything like this." How many times have you heard that this week? We're living in unprecedented times to be sure, but are we on our own? Whenever faced with times of uncertainty, doesn't it feel like we hear people taking one of two stances? Either we believe that our hope and confidence is in a sovereign God who always has and will always have a plan for our good and His Glory, or we can believe that in one way or another faith in God is simply a crutch to lean on when...
The Spiral of Sin and Temptation - part 2
March 09, 2020 19:16 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBDo we have to sin? What a question. Here's another one: are we sinners trying to act like saints, or is it possible that we are saints who have the ability to choose sin? — God. Is. Faithful. Three words that change everything reminding us that sin is not the end of our story. God has provided a way out so we can endure and escape the temptation to chose anything other than Him. So, do we have to sin? No. Do we need the grace of God? Yes. Do we need the mercy of God? Yes. Do we nee...
The Spiral of Sin and Temptation - part 1
March 02, 2020 19:51 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBYou can live in freedom. — Thoughts that go unchecked long enough in our minds cause us to stumble and sin against God. It’s the enemy’s plan to let these thoughts fester and grow. However, we must remember that the work of Jesus is FINISHED. Not only has Jesus established a beachhead for us to launch into #Victory—he has provided us with blueprints of the enemy’s plans. In the power of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge of how the enemy operates, we defend our thoughts and break the cycle ...
Winning the Battle of the Mind
February 24, 2020 21:56 - 46 minutes - 43 MB“I’m going to win the battle of my mind because I have the power of the finished work of Jesus. I’m standing on victory and I’m going to move from that victory.” - Louie Giglio — We can all relate to the feeling of having to contend for our thoughts, that's why this truth was so encouraging: Jesus has given us victory at The Cross, and through the power of the Holy Spirit the ability take every thought captive for his glory! Remember, when Jesus died and rose on the third day, he rose to...
We Deliver
February 17, 2020 20:00 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB“Comfort is not a fruit of the Spirit. Neither is convenience. Neither is easy. The gospel is about moving out. So let’s not put limits on where the gospel is going to take us.” - Pastor Brad Jones — Jesus has wired us with a mindset of reach so that others can receive the Good News of Jesus. The gospel is moving and the light of Jesus is spreading. Are you willing to move with it? Are you willing to deliver? — Key takeaways: — + Jesus alone has the power to perform m...

January 20, 2020 16:18 - 42 minutes - 39 MB“Our boldness has a root, but our boldness also has a result.” -Ben Stuart — Our belief in God prompts action, and boldness leads to activity. This week Pastor Ben Stuart reminds us that our confidence comes from the change Jesus has made in our lives, and when we speak out of that confidence, people will notice.

The Root of our Roar
January 13, 2020 18:33 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MB“What is your hope in? That will inform and become the root of your roar.” — Too often, we treasure and find security in the materials we accumulate.

As we continue our series, Roar, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that we discover true boldness when we plant our roots in God’s stream of living water. When we live a life planted in God’s word, his plans for our life cannot be thwarted. — At Passion City Church we believe that...

I'm not okay... but Jesus is.
October 14, 2019 02:05 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MBAs the church, it can feel like we have to have it all together all of the time, to avoid talking about where we are, where we’ve been, or what we’ve walked through.
