Unity Presbyterian - Denver, NC

This week in worship, we conclude this series as Daniel faces the lion's den. He has faced some challenging circumstances, yet throughout it all, Daniel has remained faithful to God. This week, Daniel's greatest challenge becomes his greatest testimony. Daniel still speaks to us today, as he encourages us to be brave and remain unwaveringly committed to God. 

This week in worship, a hand writes a mysterious message on the wall that terrifies the king, and Daniel is there to interpret the dire warning. Don't you wish God was that obvious with his messages to us? Or does God send us messages that we fail to pay attention to? How can we tune in to God while liivng in a world filled with distractions?

This week in worship, Pastor David continues in the book of Daniel as we find Daniel interpreting dreams, not because he had the ability to do so, but because he asked God to give him the knowledge. He believed in God's ability to do the seemingly impossible. When we are faced with something that seems like it can't be done, do we turn to God in prayer or try to rely on our own abilities? Let's see what we can learn from Daniel this week about the supernatural power of God.

David is back from sabbatical this week as he begins a series on the life of Daniel. As we begin in the first chapter of Daniel, we find Daniel as a hostage, taken from his own country and brought to Babylon to be taught their customs. Daniel asks to eat his customary food instead of the king's food, remaining steadfast to God's ways. 

This week, we continue our series on joy as we explore the story of Mary and Martha. How can we find fulfilment in our lives by doing less? That sounds very counterintuitive to what the world would have us believe, but Jesus tells us that Mary, who chose to sit and listen to Jesus, chose the very best over Martha, who was working in the kitchen. Do we stop to listen and make time for Jesus in our day, or are we so busy that we forget to pause and listen?

This is the final week in our sermon series on the book of James, and Pastor Dana tackles the challenging topic of submitting yourself to God. What does it mean to submit? How do you surrender what you want to what God wants? What happens when we give up our wants and wishes and go with God? We discuss the choices between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God.

This week, we back up to chapter 1 in the book of James, where Pastor Dana talks about faith in action. We can't just sit still and hear about the word of God, but our faith requires us to move and act. Where are you living out your faith? What does being a servant of God mean you have to do? Where does the Spirit move you to work in the kingdom?

This week, Pastor Dana begins a new series from the book of James, taking a look at the power of our words. The world was created from a word. Our words have the power to heal or to hurt. How do you use your words? Do you think about it, or carelessly say things you don't mean?

This week, we celebrate our fathers, and the father of us all, our Father God. The word father has different meanings for us all, depending on our own family experiences, so it is important to see what the bible has to say about God and the qualities of a good father. We will dig into Psalm 103 as we explore the themes of love and compassion. Thanks to Pastor Reed Conley of Artisan Church for being our guest pastor this week.
