Friends: The State of Our Unions Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

We all long for friends, but it can be a struggle to find them. As the world around us is becoming increasingly lonely, what can we do to build solid friendships?
This week, Pastor Ben Stuart is back with the first of two messages on the importance of friends! In our increasingly divisive and isolating culture, the state of friendships has only been getting worse in. Pastor Ben shows us that there's hope for all of us to forge solid friendships when we start by focusing on the true source of all friendships - God.

At Passion City Church, we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant. It is our privilege, and our created purpose, to reflect God’s Glory to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song.

Setting the Tone / Dr. Aaron Coe Feb 21, 2022

Show notes

Because we carry the light of Jesus, we want to control the atmosphere wherever we go.

This week we are excited to be joined by Dr. Aaron Coe, who alongside his wife Carmen serves as the launch team leader for Passion City at Trilith. Looking at the example of Paul in the book of Acts, Dr. Coe explains how we can each set the tone in our communities through the power of Jesus.

Rest & War: Counterfeit Spirituality Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Spirituality is not conformity to morality for the sake of acceptance. It's a pursuit of intimacy with the God who accepted us.
As we wrap up our life-changing Rest & War series, Pastor Ben Stuart brings a crucial message about what true spirituality looks like. Spirituality is not about doing a list of things to be good, it's about belonging to God. And the more we pursue God, the more we become like Him.
Key Verses // Philippians 3:1-16, Deuteronomy 30:6

Rest & War: Struggle Well Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Jesus' decisive victory against the enemy has freed us up for the fight against sin in our lives. So how can we struggle well?

This week we're continuing in our new series, a four-week journey through some of the principles that Pastor Ben explores in his brand new book, Rest & War! Because of what Jesus has done, we are able to be victors instead of victims. But first we have to shift our perspective on how to struggle against temptation. What does it look like for the followers of Jesus to have our beliefs shape our behaviors instead of chasing after the temptations and desires of the world?

Key Verses // James 1:14-18

Dr. Coe kicks off the new year by bringing us an encouraging reminder about why the gospel is good news in the first place, and how we can be better witnesses with our lives.

Kings & Kingdoms: Breaking the Pattern of Sin in Your Life Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

The poor choices of the aging king lead to catastrophic consequences within his family. How does the story of one of David's lowest moments shed light on the corrosive effects of sin in our lives?

As we continue in our series, Kings & Kingdoms, Pastor Ben takes us through the tragic story of King David and his son Absalom. Sin can often pass down and amplify through generations, but we have hope because God is in the business of bringing beauty from our ashes.

Key Verses // 2 Samuel 13-19
