I had the privilege of growing up in middle America. Those early days in Eastern Kansas with my family were the wonder years; playing sports and enjoying the fellowship of my family. I still remember those days with joy. Things began to change for my family during the late 70’s . My family began to experience division that eventually led to my mother and father divorcing. I can tell you how painful those days were for my entire family. We still carry those scars today! Jesus Christ’s church is a family. We love the song that says ‘I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God.’ The reality is that some-times even in the family of God we experience division and pain and hurt. I recognize that even at the great DFC there have been struggles that the DFC family has experienced. Because we are human, the family of God will experience the enemy’s attack. Today as we continue in our ‘Foundations of Faith’ series we will be speaking about how the church functioned in those early days. Do we expect it to be just like it was then? No, it can’t be the way it was. Our society is so different, but we can maintain God’s intention of what the church should look and act like! I am so glad you are here! Amazed by His Grace!

Christmas time is always a special time. Of course we Christians recognize Christmas as the time that God sent His Son into the world to save the world. It is also a time when most people exchange gifts. As a child I always looked forward with anticipation to Christmas Eve when those gifts would magically appear in the night. It was our tradition that my little brother and sister and I would wake up early and go out and see the tree lined with many new gifts. What a wonderful time of receiving those special gifts! When I ponder all the gifts I have received in my life, I must say I am a blessed man! I have received so much in my life it overwhelms me. But without hesitation the most incredible gift I have ever received was the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, God‟s Son! It is by far the gift that has made the most difference in my life. When I think of gifts that I have received, the free gift of Salvation through Jesus is the one I cherish the most. Any gift that is given must be received. Jesus said in John 1:12 „yet to all who received Him‟. A gift is not a gift until it is received. Today we will be speaking on this most incredible gift of His grace. The question is - will we receive this gift of all gifts?

The Immeasurably More God from Denver First Church on Vimeo.

He for me who caused His pain. Amazing love! How can it be that my God should die for me
!’

These are the words of Charles Wesley from the hymn And Can It Be
? They reflect my feelings toward the incredible gift of becoming DFC’s Lead Pastor. We have been wonderfully blessed by this amazing oppor-tunity. Isn’t it just like Jesus to overwhelm us with His blessing?

On this first official day of our ministry here, I want to thank the DFC family, as well as my own out-of-town family and friends, for sharing this day of blessing with us. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity, love, encouragement and support flooding us from our DFC family! God has been so good to us through you!

I believe in the ‘God of the Immeasurably More!’ I believe in the God who wants to bless us abundantly. We serve the God who desires to pour His grace to overflowing. As you arrive today I want you to anticipate His abundant grace! You are on the verge of a miracle of grace in your life. Allow God’s immeasurable grace to be poured into your life today!

I am thrilled you are here!

What Jonah Lost in Disobeying God [video]

What Jonah Lost in Disobeying God from Denver First Church on Vimeo.

IT PAYS TO OBEY
I remember growing up attending the little Nazarene Church in Grassland, Texas. One of our favorite songs to sing was “Trust and Obey.” The words still ring in my ear and heart. “Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.” As a pastor now for almost 50 years, I have found that to be true for a happy fulfilled life. It is the key! TRUST & OBEY! Jonah found out that it doesn’t pay to disobey. Our prisons are full of people who have learned that it doesn’t pay to disobey man’s laws. In fact, every day of our lives we are faced with the choices to either obey or disobey. You make the choice! And the choice you make will determine whether or not you will live “happily ever after.” Let’s learn from Jonah’s experiences and obey all of God’s laws. Trusting and obeying, Pastor Bob

In Revelation 21:5 God says, ‘I am making everything new’. A new beginning starts today for us as a Community of Christ! This will be my first time to preach here at DFC. My wife, Sherri and I are thrilled to be here with you this morning. We are excited about you and your family worshiping here at DFC. Whether you are a regular attender or a visitor, this is a new day. This can be a day when we can discover God’s power for our lives and our church.

This morning I will be sharing with you, what I believe, is the true passion of our Savior and the passion of my heart as your new pastor. The Jesus we serve, has a heart for people. I have learned that there is nothing more important to Him than lost people. We will see and hear that today through the illumination of Luke 15.

I am excited you are here! May this be a great new beginning for all of us!

Blessed to be here!
Pastor Shawn
