Welcome to Damascus Road Community Church, located in Mount Airy, MD and serving the Baltimore/Washington DC metro area. The twenty-third Psalm is perhaps the most-loved, best-known, and most-quoted of all the psalms. There are few passages in all of Scripture that can match its beloved status. It is an invitation to anyone to enter into a distinct and particular way of living, with the Lord as th...

As we will see, Romans 8:28 is not the “pillow passage” of living in comfort, but rather the comfort of living in the reality that God, through His Son, Jesus, who has redeemed all of creation, including YOU! With that, I hope that you will worship with me this weekend as we celebrate God’s work and your response to His calling.

What is the bogeyman’s name and what is his game? This weekend we will unpack Isaiah 41:10 together by asking a few questions... What are you believing to be true about the shadows in your life that are a lie? What life would be available to each of us if we believed God’s promises more than we believe the shadows? So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will st...

If you could have any one superpower-just one, what would you choose? Pastor Rajendra brings a message of unity as he outlines Pauls call to the church. Suit up Church!

The 6th and final message in Pastor Richard's Revelation series takes us first to the DE-creation judging work of God, as He withdraws His protecting hand and allows the full consequences of human rebellion to come to fruition; followed then by His gracious RE-creating work, bringing back to their original beauty and potential His entire creation along with all who will turn to Him in trust as the...

How much does God care about freedom? Enough to go to the Cross to preserve yours. So much that the apostle Paul could say: “Wherever the Spirit of the LORD is—there is freedom.” And: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand fast in your freedom…” The great question in judgment is not whether God wants us to be free, but what we do with our freedom—our genuine ability to choose, to go...

Over the past two weeks Pastor Richard Fredericks has unpacked how Revelation (like the 65 books that proceed it) speaks to the issue of injustice and to God’s judgment in favor of the oppressed. And equally: to our call to be God’s hands and feet in that process. In our relatively safe, comfortable lives we often miss or forget those messages. In this message we will explore more major keys for u...

Last week we took a long look at Revelation’s picture of the all-too-attractive pervasiveness of Babylon as Satan’s counterfeit kingdom. In this week’s message, we’ll dive deeper to discover God’s true Kingdom. Together we will use these as our framework for how to live now, and how to bring God’s vision of justice and grace to a hurting, divided world.

Read Revelation carefully and you will be struck by how much is devoted to detailing God's description of, and retributive judgement on, Babylon. Revelation has seven major sections, and two of the seven (4 of 22 chapters) are dedicated to describing what Babylon is, why it must come down, and how it will come down in order for the Kingdom of God to fully rise up!

Pastor Paul Foss starts the conversation that needs to happen...a start on a long road to racial unity and reconciliation that is needed in this country.

It is so good to be back, even if we are all living in this new, strange reality of a COVID world. But this pandemic makes what we are about to do together as a congregation even more important. We are going to dive into Revelation, the last book of the Bible, the capstone of Scripture where all that came before in the Bible comes together and concludes in a new beginning: a wedding and an eternal...

Most people seem to have a plan on how life ought to go—from point A to point B. We hope and expect it will be a gradual, mostly comfortable, fairly rewarding journey with no major side trips. Then the unthinkable happens. An unexpected detour leads us to live life the other way. We've been on a six-week journey as a church to love God more faithfully, follow God more trustfully, and listen to God...
