We live in a cultural moment where people are longing for wisdom, yet increasingly uncertain where to find it. James’ letter speaks to this longing—not with vague spiritual sentiment, but with direct, practical wisdom for forming resilient lives of faith grounded in Jesus, the embodiment of God’s wisdom.

In this second episode of our relaunched podcast, we visit realism and hope, childlike faith and adult realities, hearing and speaking, and even the Easter Bunny. Join us as Bailey T. Hurley interviews Gary McQuinn on Eastertide and the second half of James chapter one.

Welcome to the Park Church Podcast, where Sunday’s teaching doesn’t stop at the church doors. We’re here to take the big ideas of faith and walk them right into the heart of everyday discipleship. Each episode digs deeper into Scripture with clarity, engages the world we actually live in, and offers practical wisdom for following Jesus in real life: work and family, relationships and anxiety, suffering; the questions you’re already wrestling with. Think of it as the place where our sermon series keeps the conversation going, where our pastoral team engages the questions you are already asking, and where formation grows legs for the week ahead. This is the Park Church podcast, helping you walk in the way of Jesus every day.

Before returning to the book of James, we wanted to take a “halfway point” look at our Two-Year Vision for Park Church. Before we begin construction on our building (which is only one part of the vision!), we want to celebrate the stories of our building and set some expectations for our experience here over the next year, all within the bigger picture of God’s faithfulness.

What does it mean to be Easter people living in an Easter world? Easter people can face the brokenness of the world with honesty and hope, enjoy the beauty of the world as a foretaste of the world to come, and live with sacrificial love and missional purpose. We rebuild and remake everything around the “masterpiece gift” that is Christ’s death and resurrection.

Doubt is part of the journey of faith. After His resurrection, Jesus’ meeting with Thomas teaches us about His heart for the doubting: compassion and invitation into deeper trust and surrender. He offers joy and life to those who trust Him and follow His way of life.

In a culture marked by spiritual apathy, social injustice, political polarization, and self-absorbed living, Jonah and Amos speak with timely relevance for our lives in Denver today.

Jonah is a story-driven prophetic book centered around a reluctant prophet who is called to preach repentance to Israel’s enemies in Nineveh. Jonah refuses, not out of fear, but because he knows God is merciful—and he doesn’t want Nineveh to receive that mercy. God relentlessly pursues both Jonah and the Ninevites, extending His compassion to rebels—insiders and outsiders alike.

This fall marks our sixth installation of “Be with Jesus and Follow His Way of Life,” a semiannual preaching series where we revisit our vision for discipleship to Jesus (with a focus on a particular practice).

But first, what is that vision for discipleship? Park Church exists to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people. What’s a disciple? A disciple is someone who has been reconciled to God by grace through faith in Christ and is learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life.

This particular installation of the series is simply called “Rest” and is aimed at helping disciples of Jesus learn more about what it means to “be with Jesus” by helping us grow in our practices of rest and Sabbath. This mini-series precedes its sibling, “Work,” which we’ll visit in January 2026.

In a culture that constantly demands more—more productivity, more entertainment, more commitments, more distractions—many people feel stretched thin, exhausted, and unsure whether their time is being spent on what truly matters. The way we use our time reveals our deepest values, yet many of us are caught in patterns that leave us anxious, hurried, and spiritually malnourished. In this third portion of our Seek First the Kingdoms series, we will explore what it means to “redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16) by centering our lives around God’s Kingdom. Rather than being ruled by cultural expectations, we are called to wisely and intentionally steward our time in light of God’s Kingdom.

The culture of our city has the power to shape us in more ways than we might know. When Christians conform to the desires, values, and practices of their city, it creates real problems in the church. In 1 Corinthians, Paul is writing to a messy church experiencing all sorts of city-shaped problems. To confront these problems, Paul reminds the church of who they are in Christ, and he calls them to live with a Christ-shaped vision for life.https://parkchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Sermon_2024.05.26.m4a

As humans, our foundational formation takes place within some sort of family system. We are discipled, whether with intentionality or not, into a way of life. Then at some point along the way we meet Jesus. When we put our faith in Him, we are reconciled to God and brought into His family. But how do we relate to His other children, and why do relationships remain so difficult? In this series, we’ll look to Jesus to learn how we can grow in love for one another as brothers and sisters in the family of God.https://parkchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sermon_2024.01.21.m4a

A semiannual rhythm at Park Church is a revisiting of our vision for discipleship to Jesus with a focus on a particular practice to that end. Over four Sundays this fall, we’ll focus on the “Be with Jesus” aspect of discipleship through the practice of prayer. Prayer is perhaps the most fundamental characteristic of a disciple of Jesus. The core of Jesus’ mission was to reconcile us to God so that we might enjoy Him and be empowered and transformed by His daily presence in our lives. At the heart of our relationship with Him is the privilege of being able to relate with God as our Father.

We routinely take a few Sundays in a row to focus on our mission as a church: we exist to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people. Though many of Park Church’s people may know those words, discussing their “why” in detail helps us know where we’re going together.

This year, we want to focus on five practical areas where the mission of God propels us to live in particular ways:

  1. The Global Mission of God (January 8)
  2. Hospitality and Neighboring (January 15)
  3. Restorative Justice (January 22)
  4. Faith and Work (January 29)
  5. Sharing the Good News (February 5)

While no one is called to simultaneously grow and serve equally in every area of the Christian life, there are likely one or two areas that God may invite you into throughout the series. We invite you to pray through and consider the areas of focus above and what that might mean for you.

https://parkchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Sermon_2022.12.18.m4aThe Second Coming of Christ is a fundamental Christian conviction, promised by Scripture and professed by followers of Christ throughout history. Though now often neglected or misunderstood, the promise of Jesus’ return remains vital.

Culturally, we can be horrible at waiting. Quick “fixes” are everywhere and easily-accessible comforts can dilute our felt need for all things to be made new. But there is brokenness that will go unfixed and pain that will go unhealed until Christ comes again.

The Second Coming was never meant to be a sidebar or peripheral doctrine, but a central one that we uphold, rehearse and celebrate. Scripture reflects this truth:

“Baptism is mentioned 19 times in seven Epistles, and in 14 out of 21 it is not alluded to. The Lord’s Supper is only referred to three or four times in the entire New Testament… The Lord’s Coming is referred to in one verse out of every 13 in the New Testament, and in the Epistles alone in one verse out of 10. This proportion is surely of importance, for if frequency of mention is any criterion there is scarcely any other truth of equal interest and value.”
(W. H. Griffith-Thomas in “The Principles of Theology”)

This Advent, we’re excited to focus together on Jesus’ return and why it matters to our lives as Christians.
