Queen City Church

The kingdom of God is about making room. It is an open invitation to everyone, and all of us have a role to play in welcoming others and expanding the kingdom. As Queen City Church celebrates our third birthday today, we hear a special message from Church of the Highlands’ Pastor Dino Rizzo about what we can, and are called to do as a church: make room.

This week is vision Sunday. It is a day that is set aside for Pastor Brian to clearly share what God is doing in our church, and the new things that are soon to come. There are three major announcements this week, including small groups, the dream team, and the brand new "Queen City HQ".

Over the past year and a half, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s likely we’ve all felt stuck at some point. This series has showed us God’s plan for how we can get unstuck: by getting on mission. During our final week, Pastor Brian shows us one more way we can practically get on mission, serve others, worship God, and become unstuck.

The greatest way to get unstuck is to get on mission. As Christians, we have a specific mission to reach people who are far from God, and lead them to a relationship with Him. During the third week of our series, Pastor Brian teaches us that it’s easier than we think to share our faith, and how it’s one of the greatest experiences we can have as a Christian.

We all have a God-given mission to make an eternal difference in the lives of other people, and leaning into that mission is the best way to free yourself when you feel stuck. During this series, we will be talking about practical ways that we can get on-mission. This week, Pastor Brian tells us why one of the greatest ways to get unstuck is by serving.

Everyone gets stuck from time to time, but if you’re still breathing, there is still hope. God has the power, wisdom, and vision to help you get unstuck. In the first week of our new “Unstuck” series, Pastor Brian outlines the topic we’ll be discussing over the next several weeks.

God loves you. And no matter what you do, or how far you wander away, nothing can separate you from God’s love. During our final week of the Summer Voices series, we are joined by Pastor Josh Turner as he shares an encouraging message of how much God loves us, through the story of the prodigal son.

The book of Proverbs says wisdom is more precious than gold. Wisdom is not just intellectual knowledge, it is the body of knowledge gained through experience. Since everyone has been through different experiences, everyone has their own wisdom to share. This week, we will be hearing from five different people serving on the leadership team within our church, and their answers to the question: What...

Prayer - talking to God - is a privilege and a blessing that we have the ability to communicate with the creator of the universe. And while the act of praying is simple, the obedience associated with praying is a more complicated task. This week, we are joined by Pastor Brandon Woodward to learn more about a fundamental principle of Christianity - how we should pray.

Detours disrupt our plans, distract us, and delay us from getting to our destination. But detours can turn out for our good, even though for the moment, they may feel bad. This week we are joined by Pastor Quovadis Mashall of Hope City Church in Iowa. Pastor Q shows us why we experience detours in life, and what to do when we find ourselves on one.

Being called out is usually an uncomfortable situation, but when Jesus calls us out, it is always done out of love. Jesus never calls us out to tell us what we’ve done wrong. During our first week of the Summer Voices series, Neville “Paco” Pancham of Crossroads Church shows us that when Jesus calls us out, it is to reveal something for us, and in us, that we can’t get from anyone but Him.

When the unexpected happens, it can leave us feeling broken and discouraged. But discouragement is not where we have to stay, and not what God calls for our lives. This week, we are joined by Pastor Steve Blair of Church of the Highlands to learn how to respond when the unexpected happens.

God created everyone in a unique way, which means everyone has a unique way they need to be loved. Knowing someone's love language is key to having the best possible relationship with them, and according to author Gary Chapman, there are five different love languages. In our fifth and final week of the 1 John series, Pastor Brian explores the idea of God’s own love language, and what it would be....

Love is at the very foundation of Christianity. It’s not just part of the teaching; it IS the teaching. As Pastor Brian continues from the book of 1 John, we hear John continue to talk about love, but in a new way. John tells us to look closer at what love is, and more importantly, who love is.

Jesus was the perfect example of what real love is: something that isn’t just said, but shown. During our third week of the series, Pastor Brian teaches about the type of love God has for us - agape love - and what it takes for us to love people the way Jesus does.

Life is beautiful, and every day is an absolute gift from God with so much to be grateful for. But there are some things of the world we need to be conscious of, and not waste love on. During week two of our series on the book of 1 John, Queen City Church’s own Nat Miller shares on this topic, and shows how we can avoid wasting our love.

We are starting a new series focusing on the book of 1 John. During week one, Pastor Brian takes a closer look at what John has to say on the topic of sin, and the steps we must take in order to find healing and forgiveness for our sins.

To all the Moms, biological or not, happy Mother’s Day from Queen City Church! This week, Pastor Brian and his wife Heather invite us into a conversation around how biblical motherhood looks - gleaning from Heather’s experience. From pre-motherhood to pouring into husbands and kids, Moms are a gift from God, and we celebrate you!

Jesus said we can prove to the world that we are His disciples by the way we love others. And Jesus was the ultimate example of using the ‘Stand Firm Love Well’ principle to build bridges, not walls. During our final week of the series, Pastor Brian shares the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector, and the things Jesus did to love him well.

When we stand up and stand firm against world opinion, Jesus will stand up for us to His father in heaven. In week 3 of the series, Pastor Brian uses the story of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego to show what it takes to stand firm, and how it will impact your influence on others.

If we refuse to acknowledge and correct pride, it will take control of our lives. But God has shown us in the Bible how to humble ourselves, overcome pride, and avoid a difficult lesson. As we continue this series focusing on the Book of Daniel, we see how pride can stop progress, and cause us to learn the hard way.

We live in a culture that believes you have to choose between standing firm and loving well. In this series, we will discover that God calls us to do both. During week one, Pastor Brian shows how we can stand firm, while loving well, in “The Uncomfortable Middle”.

Jesus died so that we could have life, eternal and abundant life, with Him. This Easter Sunday, Pastor Brian shares the great news of the Gospel, and how through Jesus’ resurrection, it is impossible for anything to keep its hold on you.

The Bible tells us that loving God includes loving people. Regardless of how unequipped you may feel, God wants to, and will, use you in order to make a difference and eternal impact in the lives of others. This week, Pastor Brian shares the parable of The Good Samaritan to show why we need to live under the belief that the other side is no longer an option.

Jesus is clear in His teachings that forgiveness is absolutely necessary. But forgiveness can seem nearly impossible when you don’t fully understand what it means. Visiting this week from Gateway Church, guest speaker Jelani Lewis uses one of Jesus’ parables to show what forgiveness is, why forgiveness matters, and how we forgive.
