Joining us for another message this Sunday, Pastor Grant Partrick teaches that it is God’s desire for His children to be conformed to the likeness of His Son. By taking our thoughts captive, actively fighting against sin, and offering ourselves to God we can live lives pleasing to Him.  VERSES // Leviticus 9:2, Leviticus 20:26, 1 Peter 1:15, Romans 8:29, Romans 8:1-13, Romans 7:21-25, Philippians...

Pastor Grant joins us for a message on saying goodbye to shame and condemnation and saying hello to confession and freedom in Christ. While we are all guilty of sin, God calls us to walk in the light and experience a deep sense of freedom because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. VERSES // Genesis 2:25, Genesis 3:7, Luke 15:18-19, Romans 8:1-4, Colossians 2:3-15 —  With Passion City...

As we move through the New Testament, several stories illuminate the weightiness of Jesus' resurrection and how that impacts our relationship with Him. Join us as Jonathan Pokluda teaches these stories and highlights the hope that follows resurrection.    VERSES // 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 1 Corinthians 15:17-18, Acts 2:29-32, Matthew 28:12, John 21  —  With Passion City Online, you can join us every...

Pastor Louie wraps up our current collection of talks, SHIFT, focusing on how you pray. When we pray, he encourages us to make it personal, lead with praise, ask for alignment, tell Him our needs, clear the air, acquaint ourselves with His word, embrace the silence, and have a heart of gratitude.  VERSES // John 5:19, John 8:38, 1 Thessalonians 5:18,24, Psalm 46 — With Passion City Online, you can...

“If God already knows everything, then why pray?” Pastor Louie answers this question by encouraging our House to take heart, teaching that it moves the heart of God when prayer is bold and faith-filled. Our prayers have the power to surround His throne like incense.  VERSES // Psalm 115:3; 139:4; Job 42:2; Matthew 17:20; Luke 7:1-10; John 12:23-28; Acts 4; Revelation 5  —  With Passion City Online...

Pastor Grant joins us from The Five, reminding us that only in the Christian life can pain not be purposeless and permanent. We can have confidence that though our lives may include suffering, the story will end with God getting all of the glory and all of the praise.  VERSES // Romans 8:28, 2 Corinthians 4:18-19, John 9:2-3, Matthew 14:22-24, Matthew 14:32, Psalm 119:71, 2 Corinthians 4:16-17, Jo...

In our current collection of talks titled, ‘SHIFT,’ Pastor Louie challenges the idea that so many people hold: “My prayers don’t work.” He responds to this thought by directing our House to try realigning our will with the will of God, praying through Scripture, knowing it is God’s will on a tangible page, and praying bold, offensive prayers.  VERSES // 1 John 4:14-15; Acts 1:8; 4:20-28; Ephesians...

Continuing in our current collection of talks, Shift, Pastor Louie challenges how we come before God in prayer. As he breaks down the many requests we put before God out of habit and religion, he instead encourages us to pray out of a desire to have a close relationship with the creator of the universe and remix our ritualistic prayers. VERSES // Matthew 5:4,6:5-8,10, Ephesians 1:3, Genesis 49:22-...

Pastor Louie launches our House into a new collection of talks, titled, “Shift.” God is giving us the opportunity to be shifters through the gift of Prayer, and we are prayerful because God wants us to possess a powerful, influential awareness of Him.  VERSES // Matthew 6:9-13, 2 Chronicles 20:5-12, Acts 4:23-29, Matthew 18:3-4, Revelation 19:11-16 —  With Passion City Online, you can join us ever...

Pastor Brad closes out our ‘Open House’ collection of talks by urging us to live our lives set apart and as a response to the goodness of God toward us.

VERSES // Romans 1:16-17,12:1-21 Discussion Questions // Pastor Brad begins the talk by sharing about the potential we...

Aynsley Younker teaches that Jesus is the only way because He did the work—by dying on the cross for everyone in the world for eternity. While we address this pivotal question in faith, we stand on the truths of who God is, believing that the Bible is true and that He is real.  VERSES // John 4:19-26,8,14:1-12, Philippians 2:8, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:8  Want to dive deeper into your theology...

This past Sunday, Pastor Louie was back with a message about the return that comes with kingdom investment. When we sow into the Kingdom of heaven, we invest in an initiative that reaps unquantifiable return. As we were able to bless numerous organizations through Above + Beyond, He reminds us that our gifts are now launched into the atmosphere and used for kingdom purposes.  VERSES // Matthew 5:1...

Pastor Grant brought our House back from Sabbath by introducing a new collection of talks, ‘Open House.’ Sharing from Matthew 5:13-16, Grant reiterates that we are here to be a preservative to the goodness that was modeled by Jesus and reflectors of the marvelous light of God. So, we seek reconciliation, not retaliation. We resist greed through generosity. And finally, we submit to authority rathe...

Ben Watson joins us this Sunday for a message around Isaiah 1—focusing on the difference between religion vs. relationship. Because we have been made clean by God through the blood of His Son, he stresses that our behavior should reflect that.  VERSES // Isaiah 1:1-20, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, James 1:27  —  With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a and 11:45a, and our gath...

This is Above + Beyond Sunday–a day where our House gives above our normal giving so that we can go beyond where we normally go. In this talk from Pastor Louie, the invitation–to step into the investment that reaps an exponential return–is extended. This is invitation is about more than what is monetary. It is about surrendering to Jesus and placing our everything in His hands.  VERSES // Romans 7...

Catherine shares how she got plugged in at Passion City Church D.C. through the power of an invitation, leading to her putting her faith in Jesus and pursuing an intimate relationship with Him. Through her story, we see how generosity and community can ignite a fire in people to seek answers to their questions about their own faith. This is Catherine's story.   Find out more about Above + Beyond b...

In this talk leading up to Above + Beyond Sunday, Pastor Louie sits down with financial expert, Allison Dukes, to have a conversation about the biblical view and understanding of finances. God wants us to simultaneously live wisely with the resources He has entrusted to us all the while being open-handed and entirely trusting of the One who oversees and allocates every resource.  —  With Passion C...

Picking back up from our talk last week, Pastor Louie dives deeper into what it means to live as a Christian. When we are generous, proclaim the Good News, make disciples, and love one another, we can invite others into our agape house. VERSES // John 3:15-16,13:34-35, Matthew 5:13-16, Romans 1:16, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 4:32 —  With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a...

Sadie Robertson Huff joins us for 5ALIVE, teaching the importance of putting God's truth ahead of our truth. When we stand firm in the Word of God rather than relying on our feelings, we find peace, joy, and fulfillment in Him.  VERSES // John 18:35-40, Jeremiah 44:17  —  With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a and 11:45a, and our gatherings are available on-demand sta...

“God is still calling us to a process and a lifestyle of becoming everything He has created us to become, and by grace, He extends mercy to us every single day.”  Continuing in our current collection of talks, Believer, Pastor Louie stresses that being a Christian is more about who you are than what you do. To be Christian, we are called to be Christ-like, love God, extend grace, shine light, and...

"Instead of getting caught up in the exclusivity of the claims of Christ, why don't we just live out the beauty of Christ?"  Pastor Louie launches a new collection of talks, Believer, with a powerful message about what it means to be Christian. Believing in Christ is inclusive to everyone, though he identifies how our lives should identify Christ when we choose to follow Him. As followers of the W...

“God is asking us to renew our trust in Him because He’s 100% faithful.”    Aaron Coe joins us this Sunday to encourage us to trust God because of His perfect track record. Through what He says, does, and the price He has paid, we can fully rest in the fact that He who promised is faithful.  VERSES // Hebrews 10:23, Philippians 2:6-8  —  With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live...

“God supersedes the failed and flawed climate.”  Heading into week three of God of the Impossible, Pastor Louie reminds us that our mindset should begin with possibility and end with the confidence of hope. God is accomplishing something in a flawed and failed world, and all we need to do is believe Him for it.  VERSES // Acts 2:22-28,27:21-26, Luke 22:42, John 14:11, 2 Timothy 1:12 —  With Passio...
