Park Church: Recent Episodes
Park Church
We live in a world that is increasingly defined by distraction. The devices we carry, the media we consume, and the rhythms we inhabit continually compete for our attention, shaping our desires and influencing who we become. Without intending to, many of us find ourselves swept along by a culture of constant connectivity, hurriedness, and digital saturation. Rather than leading to a life of peace and wholeness, this cultural current often leads to increasing anxiety and dividedness. Jesus describes such a path as the broad and easy way—a way that feels natural and effortless, yet ultimately leads away from the life we were created to enjoy and ultimately toward unraveling.
Yet Jesus does not merely warn us about the broad way; He invites us into something better. Through the narrow gate and along the hard way, He offers a life of genuine freedom, wholeness, and communion with God. Following Jesus in a digital and distracted age will require intentionality, courage, and a willingness to resist powerful cultural currents. It will cost us something. But what we gain is far greater: a life rooted in God’s presence and shaped by His love. This series is an invitation to walk that path together.

Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process.

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.
Amos is a shepherd from the south (Judah) sent to confront the elite in the northern kingdom of Israel. He denounces empty religious rituals, economic injustice, and societal complacency. Amos reveals how deeply God cares about righteousness, justice, and covenant faithfulness—and how His people can no longer separate worship from daily ethics.

This fall, we’re spending time in the minor prophets of Jonah and Amos. On Sunday, September 28, we finished Jonah, and next Sunday, October 12, we’ll begin Amos. In between, we had the privilege of hearing from Michael Goldstein on key themes throughout Jonah and Amos—justice and mercy—through the lens of a story from the Gospel of Luke.
Michael is the lead pastor of the Denver church plant, Fellow Citizens, launching in the spring of next year. Learn more at fellowcitizens.church.

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.

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.

Every summer at Park Church, we spend several weeks in the Psalms. The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. We’re in our thirteenth summer of “Christ in the Psalms.” This year will take us from Psalm 140 to Psalm 150.

This morning, we hosted pastor Leonel Pacheco from Fuente de Redención, our partner church in the Iztapalapa borough of Mexico City.
Leonel, his wife Myrna, and their two sons planted Fuente de Redención six years ago. They are “A church centered on the Gospel, growing in our love for Christ, His church, and Iztapalapa.”
With 1.8 million residents, Iztapalapa is the most populous borough of Mexico City. It is also one of the most socioeconomically depressed. Park Church was connected with the Pacheco family about three years ago through the Redeemer City to City network. Learn more at fuentecdmx.com.

By confronting us with sobering truths, Ecclesiastes helps deconstruct common ways that humans pursue pleasure and purpose and teaches us to surrender to God in the midst of the complex realities of life. It lays a foundation for a more mature and more reliable path to lasting joy.

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.

At the heart of our relationship with Him is the privilege of being able to relate with God as our Father.

Every summer at Park Church, we spend several weeks in the Psalms. The Psalms give us a vocabulary and a “hymnal” for relating to God through the full range of human experience and emotion, ultimately pointing us to Jesus. This summer, we'll continue with Psalms 130–139.

What does it mean to be United with Jesus in His death and resurrection? The call to be an Easter people is a call to put off the old self, reckon yourself dead to sin and alive to God, and to put on the new self to walk in the Spirit of the risen Christ.

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:
- The Global Mission of God (January 8)
- Hospitality and Neighboring (January 15)
- Restorative Justice (January 22)
- Faith and Work (January 29)
- 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.

Each year at Park Church, we take several Sundays at the end of summer to rehearse and renew vision for our mission as a church: to make disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and the joy of all people.
This year, we want to clarify what we believe it means to be a "disciple of Jesus"—someone who is learning to be with Jesus and follow His way of life. Over three weeks of Sunday worship and teaching, we'll discuss what it means to be human, to bear the image of God, to be in union with Jesus and communion with the Father, and to follow Jesus' way of life in the most practical sense. https://parkchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Sermon_2022.08.28.m4a
