Flatirons Community Church Audio Podcast

What do you feel when you imagine standing face to face with God? Fear? Doubt? Hope? This message dives deep into the scandal of God’s Kingdom—a Kingdom not built on being "good enough" but on Jesus’ grace, available to everyone, right here, right now. From Mary’s fear to Peter’s doubt, we’ll see how Jesus flips the script, offering life and purpose to those who think they’re too broken to belong. The Kingdom of the Heavens is closer than you think—come on, get in.

Have you ever felt helpless—like you couldn’t take another step on your own? Imagine willingly choosing that. Jesus, the King of Kings, did just that when He left the glory of heaven to be with us. He didn’t just sympathize; He got in the battle with us—scars, pain, rejection, and all. This week, we dive into Matthew 1 and Philippians 2 to explore why Jesus’ story begins with humility and what it means for our battles, our families, and our scars. The King is here, fighting for you.

What’s stopping you from living out your faith boldly? In this powerful message, Jim Burgen unpacks what it means to engage in the Great Commission.

Are you ready to take the next step?

Do you feel like you’re living life with the faith of Jesus or just trying to get by?

Learn what it means to be Led by the Spirit—beyond mere belief and into true transformation. Discover how your faith can grow from trusting Jesus to embodying His faith, reshaping how you face every challenge. Are you ready to move from “playing not to lose” to living as more than a conqueror? Join Jim on this life-changing journey.

Ever wonder why a good God would let bad things happen? In this message, Jesse tackles this question head-on, sharing insights from Romans 8 and real-life examples of faith through adversity. We’ve all faced moments of pain, loss, or brokenness where trusting Jesus feels almost impossible. But what if God is using these trials to grow our faith? Join us as Jesse dives deep into what it truly means to rest in Jesus, not by avoiding struggles, but by letting Him transform us through them. This message is for anyone wrestling with life’s hardest questions.

How can trusting Jesus change your life from the inside out? This week, we dive into the second pillar of faith at Flatirons: Trusting Jesus. Building on knowing God through His Word, we discover why trusting Jesus isn’t just a one-time decision but a daily journey that reshapes everything—especially when life feels uncertain. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will help you articulate why you believe and find hope in Christ’s unwavering promise. Ready to build your life on a rock-solid foundation?

What happens when your values drift from what's most important? In part two of Know God Through His Word, we explore how our values shape every part of our lives—our choices, relationships, and even our politics. When we drift from God’s truth, we often replace it with lies that lead to pain and confusion. The Bible isn’t just a guide for private beliefs; it’s the foundation for how we live publicly. Are you ready to let God's Word lead, even when it's tough?

What's the most important thing that drives your life? In this message, Jim unpacks the foundational values that shape everything we do as individuals and as a church. He emphasizes that while many things may seem important, not all carry equal weight. Through the lens of Romans, we explore how knowing God through His Word is the first pillar—an essential truth that informs every part of our lives. It’s not about rules; it’s about a relationship, a life built on values that will still stand when the storms come.
