Passion City Church Podcast

“You cannot be bright in a darkened world unless you have walked in the path of truth.” In week two of our new series, BE BRIGHT, Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to remember that what the World needs is for all of us to be transformed by the Word of God so that when God sends us into the World we shine brightly. It’s not enough just to be right all of the time if we are not shining with the love, the compassion, the grace, and the mercy of Jesus.—At Passion City Church we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant. It is our privilege, and our created purpose, to reflect God’s Glory back to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song. Follow @passioncity: https://www.instagram.com/passioncity/Follow @louiegiglio: https://www.instagram.com/louiegiglio/ Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington D.C.  More info on Passion: https://passioncitychurch.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“God is not designing you to blend in, God has designed you to shine bright.” Kicking off our new series, BE BRIGHT, Pastor Louie Giglio brings a powerful message of hope. For those who have put their faith in Jesus the need to strive in order to stand out is over. Just as a lightbulb shines bright because the power running through it illuminates the filament, we are at our brightest when the power of God flows through us. This is what the world is in need of now, Christians whose priority is to shine brightly in their workplaces, families, and communities. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“You will never be fully you without us and we will never be fully us without you.” Pastor Ben Stuart dives into the book of Philippians reminding us that no one unifies just for the sake of unity - we unite around a common purpose. We need community, and we are in a community, that has linked with the best of all causes; running with the best of all Kings! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this incredible message from Sunday, Jay and Katherine Wolf recount the journey they have walked through with God and show us that you can survive anything when you learn to redefine everything.

In this week's closing talk from our EXTRAVAGANT series, Pastor Louie Giglio shares a message that's for everyone. We have an invitation today—God is seeking worshippers! Love is what produces worship. The Church owes it to the world to present a decent representation of the person and finished work of Jesus as we gather to worship. Jesus' sacrifice of love for us in the form of radical grace, triggers our echo of extravagant worship to Him! Glory, grace, worship. Has the love and grace of God reached you? Worship is about the heart that has been captured by God. There is balance in the House. Grace has opened the way (this isn't law), but your response to the grace of God may unlock a door for you that takes you into a dimension with God that you haven't even imagined existed. — Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.

“We can move the heart of God.” — That is no small thought, that each of us can touch the heart of God through our sacrifice of worship. As Pastor Louie Giglio continues our EXTRAVAGANT series he reminds us of the true nature of worship; that as we lay things on the altar of praise, God is paying attention.

This week, Pastor of McLean Bible Church, David Platt, gives us three critical questions for us to use to evaluate how we are following Jesus. Are you going to choose comfort or are you going to choose The Cross? Are you going to settle for maintenance, or are you going to sacrifice for the mission? Will your life be marked by an indecisive mind or an undivided heart? With as many as two billion people around the world having never heard the name of Jesus, Pastor David Platt asks us to think about what it is each of us is called to do to proclaim the Good News in our lives.

This week, Pastor of Fresh Life Church, Levi Lusko, gives us three crucial instructions when it comes to putting a line in the sand and deciding to fight for the person God intended us to be. — Whether you recognize it or not, you're at war with yourself. There's anxiety. Selfishness. Self-sabotaging tendencies. Narcissism. The black dog of depression. The inability to do the great things you long to do because you spend so many hours mindlessly drifting through the internet. It is war, but all is not lost. You can win—if you choose to engage. In I Declare War, Levi Lusko candidly shares about his struggles with moodiness, bullying, suicidal thoughts, night terrors, and difficulty managing himself. He identifies four weapons you have at your disposal—thoughts, words, behaviors, and power—and illustrates how to use them to achieve ongoing victory. These practical tools from God’s Word will help you learn to retaliate against your anxiety by filling your heart with truth and making it inhospitable to terror stop being victimized by your bad behaviors and become the victor you were born to be  overcome self-imposed isolation by learning to think right so you can live right spare your family unnecessary heartache by confronting your dysfunction so they don’t have to It’s time to stop being your own worst enemy. Declare war and become the person, the spouse, the parent, and the leader God intended you to be. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For worship to take place there has to be a sacrifice. If we want the fire to fall on our lives, we have to ask ourselves if we have laid anything of value on our altar? This week Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the true meaning of worship, and what it looks like to live a life committed to bringing glory to Jesus: What are you trusting in more than God that needs to go onto the altar today? Which of the ways of the “people” have you gladly embraced? What relationship needs to go? What false hope needs to end? Are you willing to obey God in the step He is leading you to take right now?
