Denver United Church

This week, Pastor Lucy Hulme delivers a message looking through Isaiah Chapters 40-55. Looking particularly at how there is a shift in what the Israelites are given for Hope. She continues by sharing how God's promise of a savior is not something that is to be earned, yet an invitation for something greater. Join us in this study, to understand more of what that invitation means.

Now being fully in the 'Advent' season, Pastor Rob begins leading us in a teaching through Isaiah. Looking to the message of HOPE it gives to those waiting for a savior, and to us waiting for His return. How it assures believers that the promise of his arrival will be fulfilled.

As we close out 2022, Pastor Rob Brendle speaks on what the vision has been, and what more it will become into the next year. We then conclude the service by having a Q&A panel with our pastoral leadership.

As we reach the beginning of the Legacy offering, Pastor Rob Brendle leads us in a teaching about what it means to leave a legacy.

Join us in this time to learn how we can build a Legacy.

Continuing in our Legacy series, Pastor Raissa Kubandi continues our teaching from Genesis 16 but highlights on the relationship between Sarai (Abram’s wife) and Hagar (Sarai’s slave). Looking at how their familial story was challenging yet took part in the Legacy that God had promised Abram.

As we enter the annual Legacy season, Pastor Rob Brendle looks to how God used Abraham to fulfill His will in Genesis.

By looking at how Jesus responded to conflict, we learn how to best respond in love and without creating further tension.

This week, guest speaker, Pastor Aaron Stern leads us in a time of personal reflection. Looking inward at our Emotional Health so that we can better understand where our Spiritual Maturity is.

As we explore what it means to live in true-authentic relationship with one another, Pastor Rob Brendle asks the question of how did Jesus live in the tension of being both fully God and yet fully man. How we can take from that in order to love and care for our neighbor? Join us in learning how we can listen and love those around us intentionally and like Christ.

Continuing in the series, Group Chat, Pastor Rob Brendle leads us in looking through community dynamics. How we, as humans, are quick to judge others and slow to recognize our own faults. The ways we subtly judge one another and; rather than listen and understand each other, seek to fix and resolve one's issues. And finally, what Christ teaches for how we should look inward to better serve our bro...

In our new series, Group Chat, Pastor Rob Brendle teaches what it looks like to live in community with one another. As we live within social groups, difficulties rise between these relationships.

We have spent this series looking back at the early and modern church. Comparing them and making note where we can improve, while holding to the president set by Paul's letters in scripture. This week, Pastor Rob Brendle looks forward at what it means to represent Christ in our day-to-day life despite those truths of the church. How we can evangelize in love and with honesty. To be ambassadors of...

As we study the 1st century church from the New Testament, we see that it points to the church is to rely on one another to flourish. That we ultimately need one another to experience God's love. Join us as we dive into scripture to see why.

As we study the 1st century church from the New Testament, we see that it looks much more like DIVERSITY than HOMOGENY. Why is this so hard for our 21st century sensibilities? Modern religion somehow tends to value sameness, follow-the-rules, "be like us" than recognizing the part that "different" has to play in Christ's Church. Join us today as we find out why.

As Pastor Daniel Brown leads in a time of reflection on the modern church. He recognizes that we have begun to approach critique of the church with a jaded and cynical spirit. Pointing back through scripture in Paul's letters to the many churches of the world, we can see that although the church struggles and fails at times, Paul rejoices with God that these churches exist. Even while correcting t...

As we continue in this series, Pastor Lucy Hulme reads from John 15. Particularly looking at God's commandment for us to LOVE one other. That to be the global church in Denver, Colorado, means to love one another and to create lasting fruit.

As we are in a new series called "Church Is _____", Pastor Rob Brendle continues in Matthew 16 by focusing on particular Peter's role in the global church. By looking at scripture, we can learn that the church is HUMAN, and made to be so. Join us as we look into why this is so.

We start a new series today: Church Is _____. In Matthew 16, Jesus says, "I will build MY church...", making it clear that the Church, the global assembly of "called out ones", is PLAN A. The Church is not perfect and you can't get a clear picture of the Church by looking at one snapshot, pastor, local body or single denomination. But the Church is still Plan A.

So often in life, in order to use our relationships for credibility or validation, we prop up our own insecurity with the names of heroes and celebrities. The questions that the Pharisees asked Jesus to name drop for himself, "by whose authority are you doing these things?!" In typical Jesus fashion, He responds by simply holding a mirror up to their selfish agenda--recognition, power & wealth--th...

In today’s message we find Jesus radically redirecting discipleship. In just one sentence, He goes after the core issue of our human brokenness: our self-will and grasp for CONTROL. “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.”
