Grace Downtown

It is often said that the story of the Bible is the story of humankind moving from a garden to a city, but that overlooks God's clear vision for a city-positive human community that brings out the best in our cities now, in the in-between part of the human story.

Our current sermon series kicked off with Glenn's opening remarks at this year's Day of Vision and Prayer. Whether you couldn't make it or just want a refresher, we hope that this helps you get an even better idea of what God is doing in our community this season.

The reality of Jesus' life, death, resurrection and eventual return changes the way we understand our obligations to one another.

Pastor Glenn discusses what goes into living a life marked by what the Bible calls "the fruit of the Spirit."

The good news of Jesus' life, death and resurrection changes every dimension of our lives—including our relationship to power and the way we wield it.

Pastor Glenn Hoburg continues last week's discussion of the reliability of scripture—and objections to it.

Pastor Glenn Hoburg looks at what we can learn about the reliability of the Bible from history, archaeology, 2 Peter 1:16–21 and 2 Timothy 3:14–17.

Glenn prepares us for this week's Day of Vision and Prayer with the first sermon in a new series.

Rev. Casey Bedell talks us though what it means to present ourselves—every dimension of ourselves—as "living sacrifices."

Pastor Russ Whitfield connects the ancient story of deception and insecurity amongst our faith's patriarchs with how Jesus can change our lives today.

We continue our trek through the messianic psalms—the poems, songs and prayers in the Old Testament that outline what we should expect of Jesus.

In Psalm 16, King David lays out a framework for understanding how to properly order our hearts' delight.

Rev. Scott Bridges shows us what the first entry in the Bible's songbook and prayer book can tell us about our savior.

Rev. Mike Park continues our short trek through the Messianic Psalms.

The poets sang about Jesus before we ever met him. This brief series looks for signs of Christ in the music of the Old Testament.

In commemoration of our Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration, we welcomed Dr. John Hutchinson to offer a sermon on memory, hope and the gospel. For more photos, videos and recordings from our Ten-Year Anniversary Celebrations, visit gracedc.net/downtown

This Sunday, Dr. John Hutchinson will visit Grace Downtown with a special message commemorating our Ten-Year Anniversary. Dr. Hutchinson has been a good friend to our congregation over the years, dating back to when he was senior pastor of McLean Presbyterian Church during the period when McLean helped our community get started. This week, we're bringing you the first sermon Dr. Hutchinson ever preached at Grace Downtown (then called Grace DC).

In preparation for our upcoming Ten-Year Anniversary Dinner, we are digging into the archives to bring you the sermon Glenn preached at our very first official worship service.

Rev. Mike Park continues our look at the life of Daniel, who lived faithfully in the face of a coordinated campaign of targeted marginalization and persecution. What does Daniel's life whisper to us about Jesus'?

In anticipation of Grace Downtown's upcoming Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration, we are going back to the beginning...Or at least as close to the beginning as we can get, bringing you the recording of pastor Glenn Hoburg's talk from one of Grace Downtown's earliest preview meetings. Don't forget to visit gracedc.net/downtown to RSVP for the Ten-Year Anniversary dinner. Registration closes July 12.
