Passion City Church Podcast

Friday night and Sunday morning. The account of all that happened that weekend adds up to one truth; that when Jesus died, was buried, and rose, people put their faith in Him. Jesus knew that we were both spirit and flesh, and just as our flesh will fade, sin will lead to the death of our spirit. This is why Jesus did what He did. It’s why He gave His life on a cross, why he gave up His last breath, and why early Sunday morning the stone was rolled away from His grave; not so that He could come out, but so that we could come in and see what God had done.

Leading into Holy Week, Grant Partrick reminds us of the ultimate “yes,” that Christ gave in the Garden of Gethsemane. Faced with death, and even worse, separation from His Father for the first time in history, Jesus looked at what was in front of Him and said, “Not my will, but Yours.” Our obedience is measured in the same way. How do we respond to God when our desires come to an intersection with His? What will our response be when faced with a circumstance where what we want isn’t God’s will for our lives? Will we make the same decision Jesus did, will we say to God, “Not my will, but Yours?” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the third portion of our series, "Yes," as we talk about the most important yes in your life. What are you going to decide the next time life places a decision in front of you? Will you say, “yes,” to the right things, and, “no,” to the wrong? How can you have the clarity and confidence to choose the right response? In this message, Pastor Louie brings us to a place where we can decide to let our “yes,” be our, yes, and our, “no,” be our no. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio dives into the second portion of our series, "Yes," as we focus on when and where our, "no," becomes critical; because while saying "yes," can open the opportunity for blessing in our lives, it can also open the opportunity for destruction if it's used in the wrong situation. In fact, in certain situations our best "yes," can actually be a, "no." So why is it so difficult to say, "no?" Why is it so difficult to shut down the things that are asking for our attention when they have no right to, and how can we learn to say "no," at the right moments and in the right situations? Pastor Louie Giglio looks into these questions and more! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio kicks off a new series, Yes, with the truth that our most valuable possession is our Yes to God. How are you posturing your heart before God? Are you open and free with your future, or are you looking for a fool-proof plan before you’ll even take a step? Our willingness to be open to the plans and purposes of God in our lives is crucial to not just our own happiness and ability to thrive, but the future of everyone in whose life God wants to work through us. God is ready to use you, are you willing to say yes to Him? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Before you were looking for Jesus, He was looking out for you. This week, Pastor Brad Jones reminds us of the story of Zacchaeus, who climbed a tree amongst a crowd just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. As a corrupt tax collector, Zacchaeus was an outsider, someone the people of his town believed would be the absolute last person Jesus would address. Yet, because of his faith and desire to see Jesus, his faith and perseverance were rewarded. We have this same opportunity today, to focus our energy on seeing and knowing Jesus. No matter how far on the outside we may feel, Jesus is looking to bring us into His family if we just open our eyes to who He really is. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to focus in on God’s Wrath and His Mercy. It’s only by fully realizing the one, that we can appreciate in earnest the other. God’s Mercy only makes the impact on our lives that it should when we have a full grasp of His Wrath that was due us until it was poured upon Jesus that day on Calvary answering the prayers of God’s people : LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, Pastor Louie Giglio wants us to broaden the lens through which we see our God. After all, in order to have a right view of our lives, we have to have a right view of God. To know that there is a deeper level of spirituality that we have access to because our God is calling us into. His name is Elohim, El Olam, the everlasting and eternal God. He is before all and after all and yet He is in the details of your life, there for every moment. The God you can know knows you, and He loves you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that we aren’t dealing with a god who is on our level. Our God is seated on a throne high and exalted with all rule and all authority. He is Sovereign. What does this mean for you? This mean He is able; able to do whatever He wants to do, and He can. This means your God is more powerful than the mess you find yourself in; than the circumstances around you; than anything and everything you will encounter. In a chaotic world, your God is sitting high and exalted, able and willing to do what is best for your life because He desires you to be with Him. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

God wants to be known by you, and you can know as much about Him as you have the appetite and desire to know. — There is never going to be a moment in your pursuit of God where there's a sign that says, "authorized personnel only beyond this point. You can go as high up on the mountain as you want to go." Our God is The God You Can Know. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
