As Grace City Denver continues to grow, we're looking to add a full-time Executive Pastor to our leadership team. This individual will work closely with the Lead Pastor in implementing our Christ-centered vision, values, and priorities. We're seeking someone with the heart of a pastor who understands organizational thinking and is skilled at building systems for volunteers to work within. The ideal candidate has a skill set, gifts, and areas of expertise that complement, rather than duplicate, our Lead Pastor's strengths. Someone with a strategic/systems mindset will be a better fit in this role than someone looking for a few years of experience before becoming a...
Text: Luke 9:7-9, 18-27 | Listen to Message The Death of Your Designer Jesus “Who is Jesus?” This is easily one of the most important questions you’ll ever consider at any point in your life. In Jesus’ day, people assumed they knew who he was. “He must be John the Baptist,” some thought, “because he’s talking about repentance, forgiveness, and good news – and he’s leading a populist movement outside of mainstream Judaism.” Others thought, “Certainly this is Elijah, who was taken up in the whirlwind, for he’s doing the same kinds of miracles that Elijah did.” Still others concluded that...
Show me a thriving church, and I’ll show you a number of volunteers whose faithful service goes virtually unnoticed.

We see you, we honor you, and we thank God for you! This month’s service...
Text: Luke 9:1-6, 10-17 | Listen to Message Your Hands, His Power Who would you serve – and how would you serve them – if you really believed Jesus would work through you, in real time, to give you everything you needed to help them (even in supernatural ways, if that’s what the situation required)? Let’s work our way back to this question. When Jesus first sent his disciples out on a Gospel mission of their own, this is what we read: “And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority…” – his power and authority. Then he...
Text: Luke 8:40-56 | Listen to Message Weak Faith In A Strong God The story in this text of Scripture intertwines the lives of two very different people who had one thing in common: they each had a desperate medical condition that only Jesus could heal. First, there was a Jewish man named Jairus who was the ruler of the local synagogue. He was wealthy, respected, and well-connected. But he had a twelve year-old daughter who was suddenly dying. Second, we meet an unnamed older woman living in abject poverty as an outcast. She’s an untouchable because, for twelve years, her...
