Unity Presbyterian - Denver, NC

Who is Jesus? Is he a teacher, a prophet... or something more? This week in worship, we see Jesus' identity revealed as he continues to heal and serve. Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. Who do you say Jesus is? 

In worship this week, we continue our series based on our New Testament readings with a dive into the Sermon on the Mount. You'll read these three chapters this week, where Jesus focuses on the heart. We'll talk about doing the bare minimum vs. living deeply for God.

Pastor David begins our walk through the New Testament on Sunday as Jesus begins his ministry, proclaiming the good news of God. This was Jesus' main purpose and the theme of his entire ministry. Join us as we begin our journey.

Worship this week is filled with JOY! Scripture reminds us that there are always those who have gone before who would wish to see what we now see. This was true in Peter’s time, and it is true in ours. Who has come before us to give us the vision we are now living? And what vision do we leave for others? We take time to honor those who have been faithful to this vision of Unity over the past 20 years as we celebrate paying off our mortgage.

This week in worship it is the first week of Advent, the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. We read echoes of "Fear Not" throughout the Bible. The Israelites faced an enormous task before them: years of rebuilding homes, replanting fields, and restoring community after years of exile. And yet, amid all that hard work, Isaiah offers them something far greater — a vision of hope. A hope for a brighter future.  A hope of genuine peace, lasting joy, and contentment found only in God. We dig into why, instead of fear, we should live as people of Hope.

This week in worship, we are reminded that we should be living in a state of gratitude. It is so easy to see the struggles and the burdens, which make it very hard to see the blessings. But Paul reminds us to live with gratitude, because when we give thanks, we are choosing to see the world as a place filled with God’s generosity. Come to worship this week as we build a new wardrobe out of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness.

What course are you on? Are you running a race of self-preservation or do you run the race of kindness and generosity? This week in worship, Pastor David takes a look at the Apostle Paul as he returns to prison in Rome. We will learn that the outcome of our lives matters much less than the purpose for which we live. Join us as we dive deeper into this topic on Sunday.

This week in worship, Pastor David begins a series on blessings, those we give and those we get. It is All Saints Day, and we explore the ways that we are called to be saints of the Lord, living our lives in a way that sets us apart from others.

Our Compassion, Peace, and Justice Team has worked with Pastor David to bring you services of peace this week. We all need more peace in our world, and that starts with peace in our own lives. Together we will explore the world through the eyes of those who are most vulnerable - the poor, the widow, the immigrant, and the orphan. 

This week in worship, we begin our season of Stewardship. Pastor David talks about our investment in God's kingdom, how what we give of not only our resources but also our time can shape the future of the world. There is nothing wrong with wanting a nice house or a new car, but we must recognize them for what they are…temporary. We have an opportunity to invest in things that will never end.
