Passion City Church Podcast

These 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 compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.Hebrews 10:32-36Endurance, we need endurance.Here’s the good news. You can have it.So how do we gain the endurance we are going to need in order not only to endure the days ahead but to excel in them?—With Passion City Online you can join us every Sunday for gatherings at 10a + 1p + 5p + 8p, as well as learn more about Passion City Church, our beliefs, leadership and culture by joining us for Welcome to Church!

Where 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 can join us every Sunday for gatherings at 10a + 1p + 5p + 8p, as well as learn more about Passion City Church, our beliefs, leadership and culture by joining us for Welcome to Church!

What 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 mighty God and admitting that you need help. Twenty inches to go from death to life. Twenty inches that change your story from, “I was a victim of circumstance,” to, “I found Jesus, and He stood me up victorious.” God is closer than you imagine today, and He’s calling you.

"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 we aren't strong enough to face what is right in front of us.But Christianity is not a crutch.—This week Pastor Louie Giglio continues our VICTORY series with a message that is timely to the days we are living in. Teaching out of Mark 2:1-12 Pastor Louie reminds us of a few critical things: 1. Our faith can move the heart of God and impact the eternal destiny of someone around us.2. The paralyzed man's problem was bigger than he thought.3. Jesus didn't offer a crutch. He healed him.—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1 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.

You 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 of sin and temptation! Join us next week as we dive into practical steps to defend ourselves against the enemy.⁣⁣To beat the enemy’s plan, it helps to know his thoughts. Look at the seven steps below that lead to the spiral of sin and temptation so that you can fight the enemy.⁣⁣1. A temptation from the enemy enters our minds.⁣2. We act on that temptation and we sin.⁣3. There is usually momentary pleasure.⁣4. We discover sin’s hook.⁣5. We are met by feelings of frustration guilt and shame.⁣6. The enemy shifts to a new tactic - condemnation.⁣7. We find ourselves vulnerable, weak, isolated, empty and longing.⁣—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1 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.

“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 glorious and victorious life both now and forever. When He did, he gave this life to anyone who will put their trust in Him. The battle in our minds is real; it's not something we can push away or ignore. We need to arm ourselves with Paul's reminder in 2 Corinthians 10:5, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." The week, Pastor Louie left us with a practical challenge. To exercise authority over our thoughts with these five steps: 1. Examine it. Question it. Where did it come from? Does it match up with God's Word?2. Bind that thought before it binds you. Negative, tempting, or fearful thoughts will capture us if we don't take ahold of them first, rooted in the Word to know what God says about them. Let the Scripture sink in your heart and head so that the enemy can't short-circuit your calling or steal your purpose.3. Change the narrative. Don't merely bind the bad but begin to think about whatever is pure and good and lovely and praiseworthy (Phil 4:8) and write a new story.4. Act on that truth.5. Repeat. What is the thought that is binding you today? Examine it, bind it, and speak the truth in its place and begin walking in victory, the νικος of Christ!—Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Passion City Church: https://www.youtube.com/passioncitychurch1At Passion City Church we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant.

“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 miracles, give life and heal our soul.⁣+ If you want God to use your life for the extraordinary, then posture yourself as a receiver.⁣+ Jesus is the bread of life.

It’s not enough just to be right all of the time if we are not shining with the love, the compassion, the grace, and the mercy of Jesus.—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 back to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song.

For those who have put their faith in Jesus the need to strive in order to stand out is over. Just as a lightbulb shines bright because the power running through it illuminates the filament, we are at our brightest when the power of God flows through us.

In this week's closing talk from our EXTRAVAGANT series, Pastor Louie Giglio shares a message that's for everyone. We have an invitation today—God is seeking worshippers! Love is what produces worship. The Church owes it to the world to present a decent representation of the person and finished work of Jesus as we gather to worship. Jesus' sacrifice of love for us in the form of radical grace, triggers our echo of extravagant worship to Him! Glory, grace, worship. Has the love and grace of God reached you? Worship is about the heart that has been captured by God. There is balance in the House. Grace has opened the way (this isn't law), but your response to the grace of God may unlock a door for you that takes you into a dimension with God that you haven't even imagined existed. — Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.

“We can move the heart of God.” — That is no small thought, that each of us can touch the heart of God through our sacrifice of worship.

This week, Pastor of McLean Bible Church, David Platt, gives us three critical questions for us to use to evaluate how we are following Jesus. Are you going to choose comfort or are you going to choose The Cross? Are you going to settle for maintenance, or are you going to sacrifice for the mission? Will your life be marked by an indecisive mind or an undivided heart? With as many as two billion people around the world having never heard the name of Jesus, Pastor David Platt asks us to think about what it is each of us is called to do to proclaim the Good News in our lives.

This week, Pastor of Fresh Life Church, Levi Lusko, gives us three crucial instructions when it comes to putting a line in the sand and deciding to fight for the person God intended us to be. — Whether you recognize it or not, you're at war with yourself. There's anxiety. Selfishness. Self-sabotaging tendencies. Narcissism. The black dog of depression. The inability to do the great things you long to do because you spend so many hours mindlessly drifting through the internet. It is war, but all is not lost. You can win—if you choose to engage. In I Declare War, Levi Lusko candidly shares about his struggles with moodiness, bullying, suicidal thoughts, night terrors, and difficulty managing himself. He identifies four weapons you have at your disposal—thoughts, words, behaviors, and power—and illustrates how to use them to achieve ongoing victory. These practical tools from God’s Word will help you learn to retaliate against your anxiety by filling your heart with truth and making it inhospitable to terror stop being victimized by your bad behaviors and become the victor you were born to be overcome self-imposed isolation by learning to think right so you can live right spare your family unnecessary heartache by confronting your dysfunction so they don’t have to It’s time to stop being your own worst enemy. Declare war and become the person, the spouse, the parent, and the leader God intended you to be. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For worship to take place there has to be a sacrifice. If we want the fire to fall on our lives, we have to ask ourselves if we have laid anything of value on our altar? This week Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the true meaning of worship, and what it looks like to live a life committed to bringing glory to Jesus: What are you trusting in more than God that needs to go onto the altar today? Which of the ways of the “people” have you gladly embraced? What relationship needs to go? What false hope needs to end? Are you willing to obey God in the step He is leading you to take right now?

"Sacrifice equals new ground." — In this kick-off message to our new series, EXTRAVAGANT, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us of the sacrifice that God made on our behalf through Jesus, and how our response to that says everything about how that sacrifice has influenced us. — Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16 Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington D.C.

There are words that change everything for us. Words that build us up, and words that tear us down. There are words we welcome, ones we invite into the deepest parts of our hearts, and there are words that no matter how we try to fight them they find their way in to hurt us. This week Pastor Louie Giglio wants to encourage you around which words are which so that you can know the words that Jesus wants to speak over you. — For more messages visit Passioncitychurch.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"To make Jesus a part of your life, but not the point of your life, is to waste your life." — This week, Breakaway Ministry leader, Timothy Ateek wants us to know that with Jesus there is always more than we can see.

But with Jesus, in Jesus, there is always more. — For more messages and information regarding Passion City Church, visit passioncitychurch.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Brad Jones wants to know what our mindset is like day in and day out as we navigate the external pressures of life. Are we acting like we have to take on every challenge on our own? The mindset we view the obstacles we come up against ultimately says everything about our view of God as well. Do we trust that God is for us? Do we live like we know the God of all grace has promised to restore us and make us strong?

“For many of you, your biggest problem is not your problems, it’s your anxiety about your problems.” — Jesus presents anxiety as one of the biggest impediments to seeking the Kingdom of God. For many of us, worries and anxiety in life keep us from all we are meant to be under God. This week, Pastor Ben Stuart reminds us that there is an invitation to cast our cares on Him. Our anxieties are not too heavy for God — He is there waiting for us to release them. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The power of genetics is happening right before your eyes. You can deny it or try and beat it all you want, but eventually, we all begin to look more and more like our parents. This is the normal outcome of growing older. Here's what is also true; You have the potential to grow up and look like your Heavenly Father. In appearance and attitude, we become what we model ourselves on, and in the same way, we can become versions of our Earthly parents, we can, by the power of the Holy Spirit, become more and more like Jesus.

Every one of us has a family tree. We may or may not love every branch, some may be more complicated than we care to admit, but as we walk through life the limbs of our tree can determine a lot about us. That is until we realize that through Jesus we have been adopted into a new family tree. One where our perfect Heavenly Father has brought us into His fold as a loved son or daughter. That’s the tree where we grow from, the source of our strength and life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In one way or another, each of us has experienced some brokeness in our Earthly Dads. Some have been Absent or Abusive, others saw love as a reward to give out based on our performance. There were passive dads and antagonistic dads. Each of these left us with flawed views of fatherhood in general, and therefore flawed truths about what our Heavenly Father must be like. In part two of our series, Not Forsaken, Pastor Louie Giglio walks us through three truths that God wants us to know about Himself as a father, and us as His children; That we are loved. That we are no longer slaves. That we are sons and daughters of God. Why are these things so important? God is interested in his sons and daughters living their lives to their fullest and finding freedom as children of a perfect father. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Fatherhood matters. It matters to God, and it matters to us. So many of us are growing up fatherless, whether it’s because of illness, absence, or attitude. We carry these wounds with us for the rest of our lives, and even if don’t mean to we attach those same feelings to our relationship with our Heavenly Father. But God is not a reflection of our Earthly father, He is the perfection of him. In this kick-off message to our new series, Not Forsaken, Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us of who we are; loved sons and daughters of a perfect father. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Friday night and Sunday morning. The account of all that happened that weekend adds up to one truth; that when Jesus died, was buried, and rose, people put their faith in Him. Jesus knew that we were both spirit and flesh, and just as our flesh will fade, sin will lead to the death of our spirit. This is why Jesus did what He did. It’s why He gave His life on a cross, why he gave up His last breath, and why early Sunday morning the stone was rolled away from His grave; not so that He could come out, but so that we could come in and see what God had done.

Leading into Holy Week, Grant Partrick reminds us of the ultimate “yes,” that Christ gave in the Garden of Gethsemane. Faced with death, and even worse, separation from His Father for the first time in history, Jesus looked at what was in front of Him and said, “Not my will, but Yours.” Our obedience is measured in the same way. How do we respond to God when our desires come to an intersection with His? What will our response be when faced with a circumstance where what we want isn’t God’s will for our lives? Will we make the same decision Jesus did, will we say to God, “Not my will, but Yours?” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the third portion of our series, "Yes," as we talk about the most important yes in your life. What are you going to decide the next time life places a decision in front of you? Will you say, “yes,” to the right things, and, “no,” to the wrong? How can you have the clarity and confidence to choose the right response? In this message, Pastor Louie brings us to a place where we can decide to let our “yes,” be our, yes, and our, “no,” be our no. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the second portion of our series, "Yes," as we focus on when and where our, "no," becomes critical; because while saying "yes," can open the opportunity for blessing in our lives, it can also open the opportunity for destruction if it's used in the wrong situation. In fact, in certain situations our best "yes," can actually be a, "no." So why is it so difficult to say, "no?" Why is it so difficult to shut down the things that are asking for our attention when they have no right to, and how can we learn to say "no," at the right moments and in the right situations? Pastor Louie Giglio looks into these questions and more! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
