Here’s a question we’ve gotten in various forms in response to our Questioning Christianity sermon series: Question: Why are we taking time to discuss other beliefs and worldviews rather than just focusing on what the Bible says? Great question! If God’s Word is “our final authority in all areas of our faith and practice,” as one of our core values states, then why does it matter what other people believe about life’s origin, nature, purpose, etc.? There’s a popular illustration along these lines that goes like this: Agents and bankers don’t learn to spot counterfeit money by studying counterfeits; they…

This duration reminds us of and reflects the 40-day fast and temptation of Jesus in the wilderness (see Matthew 4:1-2; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-2).  Lent is to Good Friday and Easter what Advent is to Christmas. Just as Advent prepares us for the birth/arrival of our…

  Let’s talk about this amazing sermon series graphic, created by our friend Bruce Butler [check out his work at @wearewisebison]. We are posting this explanation with his permission. The Psalms are often called “The Songbook of God’s People.” Written over the span of 900 years, most of them around the time of King David, the Psalms are the world’s most famous collection of sacred songs, hymns, and poems. But instead of the rhyme and meter of modern poetry, Hebrew poetry was characterized by symmetry, contrast, and parallelism. The mirror image of a chiastic structure is subtly represented in the…

We praise God for prospering Grace City Church at the corner of Park Avenue and Broadway over the past five months. Though construction delays, COVID shutdowns, and collaborative efforts with another church all impacted our plans and timeline, we’re now thriving, by God’s providence, in the heart of downtown Denver. As we head into a new fiscal year beginning July 1, we want to highlight some key elements of a Strategic Plan the leadership team has been developing. A Strategic Plan is a way to focus our energy and resources around a set of shared priorities and goals. Out of…
