Media, Sermons, Transformed: How Jesus Changes Lives | by Pastor Craig Sturm

We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. “Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. Today, from Ephesians 4:20-24, we will build on last week’s promise of hope for real change, anchored in the the redeeming love of God in Jesus Christ, by looking at a process of gospel change based on Paul’s exhortations to “put off your old self” and “put on the new self”.

Media, Sermons, Transformed: How Jesus Changes Lives | by Pastor Craig Sturm

We all know from our own lives and our experience of the world around us, that real, lasting change is elusive. “Transformed” is a 4-part series exploring the transforming power of God in our lives. Today we will set the tone and trajectory for the entire series. In 2 Cor. 5:17-21, we will see that hope for real change is anchored in the promise of the redeeming love of God in Jesus Christ.

Good Friday & Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Good Friday and Easter have been set apart for centuries to specifically remember and reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and all that these two events accomplished for those who embrace him by faith. This weekend we remember these two great events and their singular purpose: God reconciling sinners to himself.

Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor Justin Keogh

What comes to mind when you think of the church? Do you think of the church as a temple, a family, a priesthood, or a body? All of these metaphors are used in scripture to describe the new reality that is formed when we, by God’s grace, through faith in Christ, become believers. These metaphors describe the deeply interconnected nature of our new life together. Today we’ll look at how we’re made into a new body and what that means for us living and serving together.

Media, Other Sermons | by Ray Ortlund

“This morning we have the privilege of being served by Ray Ortlund. (His wife, Jani, was serving the women of DCC at the women’s retreat this weekend.) Ray is a pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville. He’s also the author of several books, including Preaching the Word Commentaries on Proverbs and Isaiah, a contributor to ESV Study Bible, and The Gospel: How the church portrays the beauty of Christ—which you should read. Ray serves on counsel of The Gospel Coalition and is a member of the Acts 29 church planting network, just like us. Though there is much to love about Ray, what I admire most is his humility and genuine love of Jesus. I hope you’ll join me in giving him a warm DCC welcome.” – Pastor Adam

Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

How does Jesus impact how we think about our jobs? What difference should it make if an employee is a follower of Jesus? Or, more personally, would anyone in your office be surprised if they discovered you were a Christian? That’s an important question. Most of us will spend well over 80,000 hours “working” in our lifetime; that breaks down to two-thirds of our waking hours during the work week. Do those hours matter to Jesus? Yes. They matter more than we realize.

Missions & Church Planting, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

What is the mission of Jesus’ church? Why does it exist? In a word, what is the church for? What is our role in that? Those are the kinds of questions we’ll explore today in light of Matthew 28:16-20. What we’ll discover is that, yes, Jesus’ church has a massive, far-reaching purpose. His church is central to God’s unfolding story of redemption, across continents and millennia, among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world, and every follower of Jesus is called to be a part of it.

Prolife, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Today we’re continuing to walk through a set of five standalone sermons which we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Again, this week, we wade into controversial waters. This time we discuss the nature of life, from the womb, and our cultural ‘high places’ that do not value it. This is an important word for us as we seek to be a people, in Jesus, who offer healing hope to a world in desperate need of it.

Ethnic Harmony, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we’re continuing to walk through a set of five standalone sermons which we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Today, we’ll wade into the rough waters of racial trauma in our country and our response to it, as followers of Jesus. This topic is messy, controversial, and filled with sorrow — which is exactly why we need to discuss it. My hope is that we would be equipped as a Jesus-saturated, bible centered, multi-ethnic people in a divided world in need of help and healing. Let’s dive in together…

Bible Reading, Media, New Year Essentials 2018, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we’re kicking off a fresh series of standalone sermons that we’re informally calling our ‘new year essentials.’ Today my simple, but profound, goal is to encourage us to read the Bible with an aim to see and savor God’s supreme value, in Jesus. My hope, and that of all the elders, is that we would treasure this book for the treasure it reveals even more deeply this year. The treasures it contains are unsearchable, which makes this book precious beyond value.
