Louie Giglio returns to Jeremiah 29:11 to remind us that even in difficult times, God knows the good plans He has for us—plans for hope and a future—and that’s why our future is truly bright, with God already there, holding it, fulfilling promises, [...]

In this Above and Beyond season, Louie Giglio teaches from the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17 that while all were healed, only one returned to worship Jesus, reminding us that there’s nothing better than Jesus Himself—and our generosity and [...]

Louie Giglio reminds us from Ephesians 3:20–21 that God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, and in this Above and Beyond season we’re called to give generously in faith so the church can be ready for the move of God that’s [...]

At Passion City Church we're in a season of simply wanting God Himself above all else, recognizing that our souls thirst for the living God like a deer pants for water (Psalm 42), and becoming a desperate people who seek Him in gathering, [...]

Jesus really existed as a historical person—this is backed by the reliable Gospel accounts and even non-Christian historians like Tacitus—and by calling himself the Son of Man most often, he showed he was both fully human and fully divine, the [...]

Louie Giglio preaches from 1 Kings 18 on Elijah's showdown with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, emphasizing that truly wanting God means choosing Him alone without wavering between idols, going all in with no plan B, and trusting that [...]

Louie Giglio introduces the "Desperate" series by sharing a personal story of desperation on a turbulent flight, contrasting reactive desperation with a deliberate spiritual posture of hunger for God. Drawing from Acts 2:42 and other [...]

Louie Giglio draws from the historical account in 2 Chronicles 20 where King Jehoshaphat, facing a vast invading army, felt alarmed and desperate but resolved to inquire of the Lord, fasted, fixed his eyes on God, and led the people in [...]

In this message, Louie Giglio reminds us from Matthew 27:45–46 that at the ninth hour Jesus cried out feeling forsaken by the Father, so that we would never have to be forsaken ourselves. The key point is that God offers us the blessing of a [...]

This collection is called «Astonishing,» and it is all rooted in the idea from Acts chapter 4 of Peter and John being filled with the Holy Spirit, going up to the temple, and, in the name of Jesus, speaking healing over a lame man. The man walks [...]

Just to take us to that moment of Palm Sunday, it’s something like what we were just experiencing, singing praise to Yahweh. The atmosphere was full of praise. Jesus had just come from Bethany; he was taking his short journey to Jerusalem, and in [...]

This collection is about relationships, and oh my goodness, was anybody here last Sunday for the kickoff of this collection? Oh my word, it was the best talk on parenting I’ve ever heard. Shel and I were both listening to it, and we were thinking, [...]

If the tomb is empty, everything is possible. Amen. That’s not just Easter hype. If the tomb is empty, everything is possible. When Jesus arrived in Bethany, a town He knew very well, Lazarus was already dead. The message had come to Jesus, where He [...]

We’re talking about marriage today. Any married people in the house? Is anybody excited about being married? That was way bigger than I was expecting! Maybe we can just turn the page and move on to our next talk in this relationship collection. Does [...]

This collection is called «Jesus Saves.» Can we say that together? Jesus saves! We’re talking about the doctrine of salvation, and it’s not just about theological information; it’s about life transformation. If I could just say it today, our prayer [...]

I love this collection we’re in. I don’t know if anybody else loves it, but I’m loving it. We’re talking about relationships, and Dr. Crawford kicked us off discussing kids and parents. Amazing talk! Last week, we talked about our relationship with [...]

I was doing a podcast with a friend of mine a few months back. He’s a pastor in New York City named John Tyson. I asked him, because I ask everyone on the Passion and Purpose podcast, «What is your passion and what is your purpose?» When he answered [...]

This collection is called «The One Thing,» and its subtitle is «Heading into an Uncertain Year with an Unshakable Hope.» The message Pastor Grant gave last week was brilliant and so inspiring, kicking off this collection. That subtitle has already [...]

Well, good afternoon Passion City, hello Cumberland, and everyone around the world. Today, we are coming to the close of this journey to the ends of the earth, but we’re not there yet, so it really is a beginning and not an ending today. The message [...]

For the next few weeks, we’re going to be discussing the idea of everybody. The reason why is that we’ve been praying, «Lord, how do you want us to shepherd the flock?» You know, that’s what 1 Peter says: those of us in leadership in the church that [...]

I don’t know about you, but now and then we find ourselves in dark seasons of life. Has anyone ever experienced a dark season? I don’t mean a half hour; I mean when you somehow sank into darkness and didn’t know which way was up. I remember when I [...]

Hello Passion City Church, it’s so good to be together. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving this little collection of talks we’re having at the table with Jesus. What an incredible thought that you and I are invited! This is what we talked about [...]

We asked the question, «What does it mean to be Christian?» and we answered that to be Christian is to wholeheartedly and exclusively trust in the person and claims of Jesus Christ, activating a new birth that results in a lifestyle that mirrors His [...]

The series, or the collection of talks, is called «Believer,» and last week we asked the question: What does it mean to be Christian? I can’t go back and pick that whole word up, but it’s foundational for us before we step into today. We ended last [...]

We’re celebrating today generosity, and likely above and beyond what we did a few weeks ago. Now we’re moving on into a whole new zone called open house. Grant, Brad, and Aaron started us down that journey last Sunday. One of the texts we were [...]

We are starting a new collection today at Passion City Church, and I’m so excited about it. We have come out of «Breath on a Page,» looking at the miracle of Scripture, and in that collection, we were particularly focused on 2 Timothy chapter 3, [...]

Maybe you’re joining from somewhere around the world. I’m pumped! Today, we are starting a new collection of talks called «Believer,» and if you will, I would like to invite you to shift into teaching mode rather than preaching mode. I want to build [...]

We’re in a series called «Imprint,» and really all we’re trying to say is you and I are going to leave a mark on the world. More specifically, we’re going to leave a mark on the lives of the people around us. As a church, as a family, as a house, we [...]

I was recently reading an article by the creators of the Bible app, who monitor its usage throughout the year. By the way, how many of you have the Bible app on your phone or tablet? There was a Bible app, and a lot of folks do use it, while many [...]

Shane Kimbrough is a friend of our house, and he has been in space multiple times. I didn’t think he would go to space again, but as it turns out, he is going to fly to space, Lord willing, this spring on the new Dragon rocket, which is very cool. I [...]

The subtitle of «The One Thing» is «Starting an Unpredictable Year with Unshakable Hope,» and I don’t know about you, but we’re barely through January, and I would say it’s already been an unpredictable year. Collectively, but I’m guessing for a lot [...]

Last week, when we kicked off this series, I told a story again about climbing the Matterhorn in Switzerland. The reason I tell this story periodically is that if you climb the Matterhorn, you don’t use it one time as a sermon illustration and then [...]

I could not be more excited about jumping into this collection of talks under the title «Epicenter.» We chose that title because many theologians believe that Romans is the best book in the Bible, the most important book, perhaps the most [...]

I love this gathering of talks that we have been in, the God of the impossible. Has anyone experienced a mindset shift in this series? I know I can’t stop thinking about last week’s talk and that one phrase from an architect that affirmed everything [...]

We’re in a collection of talks called Grace and Glory. These are big ideas in our church. We have three theological anchors at Passion City: the glory of God, radical grace, and extravagant worship. Grace and glory are not just words we picked out [...]

This message is called «The Thread of Glory,» and what we looked at a few weeks ago was «The Thread of Grace.» How that all through Scripture, not just in the Gospels, not just at the cross, and not just in the death, burial, and resurrection of [...]

Today, we’re shifting into a new collection of talks called «Certainty.» Can you say that word with me? Certainty. I would imagine I have said the word «uncertainty» hundreds of times in the last few months. We’re in uncertain times; we’re in a [...]

Today, I’m kind of shifting into teaching mode again, if that’s okay. I received some good feedback over the last few weeks; people said, «I like teaching Louie. That’s really a good version of Louie when we dig down into stuff.» Then someone [...]

God really loves us, Trilith Cumberland and all the folks in this gathering. God really loves us. To put it more personally, God really loves you. He’s not against you; he’s for you, and God really loves you. The message today is all about grammar: [...]

This message is called «The Power of a Transformed Mind.» Your mind is the most important thing about you. Your life is built by a series of things that you do and decisions that you make. However, the things that we do and the decisions we make are [...]

Anyone ready for the word of God? So, on Friday, I went to meet this guy. We were going to meet about an hour from my house; I live in the neighborhood, as you know. I’m driving outside the city, uh, north for an hour, and we were supposed to meet [...]

We’re closing out our series «Who’s on the Mic?» and we’ve talked about a lot of voices that get on the microphone in our lives. Just to say it one last time: the microphone isn’t the issue; microphones simply magnify sound. The issue is what voice [...]

I love the series «Um Anno Domini». It’s about B.C. and A.D., focusing on the one who split history. We will discuss this in terms of the calendar in our eve gatherings; I’m really pumped about that. However, these last few weeks, I don’t know about [...]

This collection is called «Breath on a Page,» and what we want to do over the next few weeks is combine our brains and our hearts to examine and study the Word of God. When I say «examine and study,» I don’t mean we’re going to bring our opinions [...]

I’m preaching today on the heart of our movement. I’m going to end today with a story that I’m pretty sure I have preached at Passion City Church a time or two. But I want every single one of us who walks out of the gathering today to know this is [...]

This is the last of our collection of talks for now, «Transformed Mind», and this message comes under the title «The Mindset That Leads to Life». We’ve emphasized this throughout the collection, but I’ll say it again today: you have the power to [...]

I’m pumped today! What an amazing way to introduce a message called «The Culture of Joy.» If you’re getting this later, you missed the baptisms we just did. We had some incredible stories right before our eyes of the miracle power of God, and that [...]

These talks are in a collection called «God of the Impossible,» and I want to ask again today that God would plant a seed in all of our hearts, our minds, and our souls that He is able. Can I get an amen? Maybe just to kind of get us going in the [...]

God’s word says that the wages of sin is death. So really, what this is all about today is not about being good or being bad; it’s about life and death. But the gift—can you say «gift»? —of God is eternal life. One option is death, and the other is [...]

Welcome to church! I know that has been said already, but what an amazing day to be in God’s house. I love this journey that we’re on through the book of Acts and just want to say a big shout-out to Grant and Aaron for kicking us off last week and [...]
