Less Is More

Ever heard the quote “you can’t take it with you?” This can have two meanings and presents us with two options: consume and accumulate as much as possible now while you can OR consume and accumulate no more than you need because abundant, eternal life isn’t found in the abundance of stuff. How do we live in a way where our money and possessions don’t own us? How do we overcome anxiety and find contentment as we’re constantly bombarded by advertisements from algorithms? Jesus offers us a more life-giving way - an invitation to freedom and contentment. Realizing that less is actually more in the Kingdom of God. When this becomes our reality, our lives are turned inside out and it’s an adventure of a lifetime!

Your Kingdom Come

The center of the Sermon on the Mount is The Lord’s Prayer - a prayer still prayed daily by Christians all over the world. It’s more than a few familiar stanzas to hurriedly rehearse. In fact - it summarizes and empowers Jesus’s teaching. It has shaped Christian hearts and minds for 2000 years - and it has the power to do the same for us today. Join us this weekend as we sing and pray and study the prayer that Jesus taught us.

Secret But Seen

Does your life make for great theater? “All the world’s a stage” according to Jaques in Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a “performer,” you don’t have to put on “an act” to earn the applause of Christ. No matter what “stage” of life you are in, Jesus wants to be your secret “Audience of One.” Join us this Sunday for part 3 in our series on the Sermon on the Mount entitled “Inside Out” as we discover how diving into greater intimacy with our Lord and Savior will reap relational rewards with God and everybody else!

Not What You Think

In Jesus' most iconic sermon, he drops a truth bomb on his audience, declaring, “You’ve heard it said… but I say to you…” What’s Jesus saying? Today he might have said it like this, "You think you know, but let me tell you the real deal.” Life in His Kingdom is a game-changer. It's not just surface-level, it's a deep dive into the core of our being. This is where true life begins; coming into a right relationship with God, which leads us into right relationships with others. Get ready to explore the teachings that shook the world and inspired great leaders like Ghandi, MLK Jr, and the civil rights movement. Join us as we continue this message series at wwww.damascus.com/inside-out.

Jesus People

Jesus has this way of turning our culture inside out and society upside down. He has this way of doing and saying things, and even blessing people, that is counter-cultural and revolutionary. It doesn’t always make sense to us. This Sunday kicks off our Inside-Out, Sermon On The Mount, 7-week Fall series, along with our new LifeGroups launch. Together we will explore some of the best-known verses in the Bible that still echo throughout our culture - “The Golden Rule”, “love your enemies”, “kingdom come”. This week as we tee-up the series, we will answer the question: “Who is Jesus’ sermon for?" And we will take a look at His opener, “The Beatitudes” – you know, the “‘Blessed are…” statements of Jesus. That word ‘blessed’, well, it can be a blessed problem. In fact, all the Beatitudes seem to be totally out of step with our culture, and pointing in the wrong direction, especially for those of us looking to climb the cultural ladder. What’s up with that, Jesus? Come. Listen. Learn. Apply. From the Master Preacher, Jesus.

Beyond Mountains

Come join us as we wrap up the Chosen series with a focus on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:13-16. As followers of Christ, we are called to be “salt” and “light” in this world. What exactly does this mean and is it possible? Together, let’s explore what Jesus meant when He first issued this challenge to His disciples and the vision that He is holding out for in our lives today.

Reckoning

Imagine you are one of the disciples who did life with Jesus each and every day. You saw Him turn water into wine and feed thousands. You were there when He healed the woman with the issue of blood. You witnessed Him eat with sinners, inviting them into new life and relationship with Him. You were there with a front row seat to the raising from the dead of the widow’s son and Jairus’s daughter. Hearing His teaching, you were radically changed by His call to love our enemies and live non-judgmental lives filled with compassion. Seeing all of this, when given the opportunity to ask for more insight on one subject, what would you ask? In their one request, the disciples asked Jesus to teach them and tell them more about only one thing. Their request was, “Teach Us How To Pray!” The disciples saw a direct connection between who Jesus was, how He lived and how He addressed life’s circumstances and His prayer life. Join me as we go to Jesus’ school of prayer and learn how we too can draw from our time of prayer to face life’s greatest challenges today!

Unlawful

Most of us have a funny relationship with freedom and control, don’t we? We love the idea of freedom for ourselves and wouldn’t hesitate to say: “I don’t need anyone telling me how to live my life!” But we’re also very quick to fight against what we believe is wrong. We often try to control the behavior of others, especially when we think it will affect us in some way and are ready to shout: “Not In My Backyard!” Nowhere is this freedom/control dynamic more vividly played out than in the arena of faith and religion. We are told that Christ came for our freedom yet many of our experiences with Christianity feel completely opposite; it can sometimes feel more like behavior control than freedom. Join us this week for Season 2 Episode 6 of the Chosen, titled Unlawful; we are going to ask what it looks like to have a freedom that truly feels like being free!
