Mark 8 finds Jesus HEALING one kind of blindness and WARNING to the disciples about another. "The physical healing of the blindman serves as a paradigm", for Jesus' teaching about the blindness of the pharisees. Join us today as we look to see if there are any blindspots in our own lives or places where we need Jesus to apply some "corrective lenses".

Today's discussion, looking through Mark chapters 5 & 6, leads us to a "tale of two cities"...one driven by fear, the other by faith. Pastor Rob teaches us to look at Scripture through the lenses of "What does it say?" (SPECIFIC text) "What does it mean?" (CONtext) and "What does it mean for me? (personal DISCOVERY)".

Join us as we begin our "Through The Bible" series, exploring the Gospel of Mark! Pastor Neil kicks off the series with "An Introduction" to do a bit of a deeper dive into why our value of 'Centrality of Scripture' is so important.

This week we continue our look through Mark. In chapter 4, Jesus asks, "How can I describe the Kingdom of God?" Pastor Raissa digs deep into the question AND Jesus own answer, the parable of the Mustard Seed. Join us for this in-depth look as well as our weekly reading plan!

Newsflash: The world wants you back! As a Believer, you were rescued out of the world and the world desperately wants to re-assimilate you into its ranks. But we can't avoid re-assimilation or simple regression just by wishing or believe it so. Instead, it's only because we prioritize, on purpose. Today we study the significance of prioritizing intentionality. "Look carefully, then, how you walk.....

We have an unfortunate tendency to put ourselves at the center of our story. Like pre-Copernicus astronomers, we bristle against any notion that suggests that our world isn't the center of the universe. This is not the way Jesus teaches us the sacredness of others. To grow in spiritual & emotional maturity, we must learn to see ourselves clearly & grasp our place in HIS story and the story of othe...

Our culture fable tells us that normal life is happy, peaceful, **good** and loss is a disruption to be minimized. But our study of the story of Joseph seems to tell a story that when we minimize the loss, we pass on the dysfunction. How can we fully embrace Jesus & our spiritual maturity if we can't accept the pain from our past? Join us today as we explore!

In our search for emotional spiritual health, it's important to recognize that our family history and patterns can play out in our present relationships & even the way we see God. Today we explore Joseph's "family legacy" and the impact that it had on his life. If we are to grow to be fully mature disciples, discipleship involves dismissing old family patterns and learning to do life God's way. Jo...

Today we begin a new series to define & develop emotionally healthy spirituality. How do we *feel* honestly yet biblically? How did Jesus respond to emotion in full humanity yet remain spiritually aligned with His full divinity?

Once Christ rose from the grave he gave the disciples a mission & a message...but first...the Holy Spirit. Today Pastor Rob teaches that the Holy Spirit is the relationship that God desires, and relationship is how we accomplish the mission and empower's the message.

As we turn our attention to Christ's intentional journey toward the Cross, Pastor Rob teaches us how we can best obey Jesus' words that we would continually gather "in remembrance". Join us for the teaching, stay for the discussion and... bon appetit!

On this very SPECIAL SUNDAY, we rekindle one of the ORIGINAL practices of the Church: BRUNCH! Taking our cues from the first church in Acts, we "devote ourselves to teaching, fellowship & the breaking of bread"...well at least the breaking of breakfast pastries & cheese danish. You get it. While we share a meal, Pastor Rob shares with us one of Jesus' last messages with his disciples as THEY share...

Today Pastor Raissa, United Students Pastor, challenges us to find our role in the YOUNG people around us.

When Jesus said "I was sick and you cared for me...I was in prison and you visited me", why didn't he just skip right to "healed" [sickness] and "got me out" [of prison]? Today we explore the parts of life that just don't seem to have a "fix". We hope you’ve been blessed + encouraged today. For all updates + news, head to www.denverunited.com.

In our modern age & city it isn't likely we'll ever see many naked folks walking our streets. Then how are we to understand Jesus' words, "you saw me naked & you clothed me". In today's message, Pastor Rob suggests that maybe it's not just about articles of clothing but something more entirely. We hope you’ve been blessed + encouraged today. For all updates + news, head to www.denverunited.com. Fo...

Continuing with our series "Truly I Tell You", Pastor Rob brings the need for our "insider" hospitality directly to the people we may least desire to extend it to: outsiders. Even from the time of the Exodus, when God was separating the people of Israel to Himself, He still made room for foreigners to be brought in. Today's message makes it clear that God expects us to welcome the outsider inside....

As Christians we have those seasons where God may feel distant. "God where are you? I don’t sense you or see you or hear you!" Our text today reminds us in one expression, where Jesus is, here his presence is: "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ " Matt 25:40 Craig Springer shares with us today the si...

Today we begin a new series called Truly I Tell You, studying from Matthew 25. Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, when you did it to one of the least of these...", and our question is: what if he actually meant it? Join us for this study into one of Jesus most important teachings. We hope you’ve been blessed + encouraged today. For all updates + news, head to www.denverunited.com. For more information...

During Awakening, we've been talking about the Father, Son & Holy Ghost as individuals but how do they relate as ONE and how can we reflect this relationship? Community. Join Pastor Anders today as we explore this vital truth to knowing "them" as One God, in community. We hope you’ve been blessed + encouraged today. For all updates + news, head to www.denverunited.com. For more information or to s...

How is it that we've found ourselves in a culture that too often sees the person of the Holy Ghost as either weird, unmentionable or merely an upgrade option? As fully one-third of the Godhead, scripture teaches us that we cannot know God without knowing the Holy Spirit! Today's message is an intellectually honest look at who the Holy Spirit is and his role in our Christian lives. Join us as we ex...

In today's insightful message, Pastor Rob teaches us the Awakening truth of what it means to be "In Christ." What does it mean practically to live in Christ? What does it look like? And how does OUR believing factor in to living in Christ? Join us today as we explore these questions and more! We hope you’ve been blessed + encouraged today.

A.W. Tozer wrote that, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us..." So when you think about God, in particular—God as Father, what comes to mind? We all have a list of FEELINGS He evokes, but what do we actually BELIEVE to be true about his nature, character in quiet of our hearts? During AWAKENING we pray your heart is enlightened to the true heart o...
