Uptown Church Dallas

Week after week, we've been singing and praying the words of the song The Blessing. But where did these words come from, and why have they mattered to us the last three years, and what do they mean for our lives moving forward?

Whether we realize it or not, the legacies of other people's lives continue to impact our lives and faith daily. Each year, Christians across the globe celebrate All Saint's Day to honor those legacies. What can the saints of our past teach us about today and the legacies we will leave behind in the future for others?

We know now that God is FOR God's people. God took it a step further, though, demonstrating through Jesus that God is also WITH us. What impact has this truth had on our community to not only be FOR each other but also WITH each other?

For the last three years, Uptown Church has been a place that is For people. Yes, all people. But where does that value come from? How do we know God is really for all people? Let's look at a Bible story that demonstrates just what, or who, Jesus is really for.

Most of us have dreamed big dreams. At times, we may even feel like God gave us that dream. What do you do, though, when the dream that God allowed you to dream doesn't end the way you thought it would? What might Paul teach us from the book of Romans about disappointment and unmet expectations?

The Book of Romans is an incredible letter written about unity in the church, but some of its language can seem harsh, perhaps even downright scary. Can the God of love Paul writes about be the same God whom he describes as having wrath?

We live in an ever-changing world with an ever-changing Church. This can lead to differences that threaten to divide us. In the book of Romans, Paul paints a portrait of unity that urges us to see past our differences and look toward what really unites us.

Change can be exciting but also challenging. Change is inevitable, whether it's your first weekend at college or that quiet Monday following retirement. Learn what Paul the Apostle Paul has to teach us about our changing lives, church, and world in the Book of Romans.

As a kid could be difficult. Sometimes, you couldn't make any sense of the letters given to you. Life can be like that too. Luckily, we can trust God to have a plan to make sense of our lives when what we're given doesn't make sense.

Remember the games you played as a kid? Favorites like Twister and Sorry? The games we played as kids can sometimes feel like those we still play as adults.

All of us want to win in life. Often, we play games in our relationships with God and others to gain an advantage or take the lead, but ultimately find ourselves losing out. One way we lose big is when we play games with the words we say.

Have you ever felt frustrated in a game because the other players seem to be playing by a different set of rules than you, and you can't win? I have felt this way playing games, but I have also felt like this in my life. There are moments when we look at others' lives and think they must be doing something different than us because they seem to be succeeding in life, and we aren't sure...

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do to stack everything in your life just right, something’s fallen out of place? Life can sometimes feel like a game of Jenga! Here’s the good news: Your falls and failures don’t throw God off.

Did you ever hear about the party at Matthew’s house? It was an amazing affair, and Jesus was the guest of honor. We have a party at our church every Sunday, and Jesus is the guest of honor.

The world is obsessed with the future but oftentimes misses out on the present. The Book of James is one of the early Christian church's most practical and challenging writings. Written by Jesus' brother and disciple, James, this letter has inspired Christians for centuries in what it means to live and love like Jesus. God is sad when we create a future that doesn’t include God. Living a v...

When you have a big ego but lack compassion, it often becomes evident in how you treat others. This is what we call the sin of snobbery. It occurs when we start making distinctions and evaluating people based on shallow criteria like their wealth, status, race, or age. James challenges us to reconsider this behavior. But here's the twist: his challenge isn't to completely stop favoring cer...

Is there a cure for our restlessness? With everything happening in our lives, is there a rhythm of rest that produces a deep peace? Scripture offers us a key insight into our physical, emotional, and spiritual insomnia. Listen to Pastor Joy as she closes out our Insomnia series.

“Mama said there'd be days like this. There'd be days like this, mama said." It turns out Jesus and moms everywhere know something about life that we are often prone to forget -- life brings its share of hard days along with the good.
