Unity Presbyterian - Denver, NC

This week in worship, Pastor David explores what it means to admonish one another with wisdom, humility, and love. Colossians 3:16 reminds us that Christian community is about more than encouragement; we are also called to help one another grow. Speaking truth requires compassion, while receiving truth requires humility and an open heart. When truth and grace live together, we become a community that helps one another become more l...

This week in worship, we continue our "One Another" series with the command to "Encourage One Another." Paul reminds us that faith isn't meant to be lived alone. In a world where criticism and discouragement often come easily, followers of Christ are called to build one another up with kindness, hope, and grace. As we gather, we'll discover how even simple words and small acts of encouragement can reflect God's love and strengthen ...

This week in worship, Pastor David is back with a new series on the "one another" commands of Jesus beginning with "Love One Another." Jesus didn't tell his disciples that the world would recognize them by their buildings, their programs, or even their knowledge. He said they would be known by their love. That's both a beautiful invitation and a challenging calling. As we worship this week, may God shape us into a community where C...

This week in worship, Pastor Reed Conley from Artisan Church visits us with a message and some great music! We know that life is full of uncertainty, and we often wish God would give us a detailed plan for every step ahead. In John 14:1–14, Jesus offers something even greater than directions: His presence. As we trust the One who is the Way, we discover that peace comes not from having all the answers, but from being in the p...

This week in worship, we look at Ezekiel's vision of dry bones. Ezekiel reminds us that God is not intimidated by places that seem beyond hope. The same Spirit that breathed life into dry bones continues to renew hearts, congregations, and communities today. Our calling is not to dwell on what has been lost but to trust the God who is always creating new life. When God's breath fills His people, what once seemed impossible becomes ...

As we celebrate Independence Day weekend, we give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy as a nation while remembering that our deepest and most lasting freedom comes through Jesus Christ. Scripture reminds us that Christ has set us free from sin, fear, and death so that we might live with purpose. True freedom is not simply the ability to do what we want, but the opportunity to become who God created us to be. May we live as grateful ci...

This week in worship, we encounter Boaz at the city gate, where his character is revealed as much by what he refuses to do as by what he accomplishes. Though he desires to marry Ruth, Boaz chooses integrity over self-interest, giving the nearer guardian-redeemer the opportunity that rightfully belongs to him. His example reminds us that faithfulness often means trusting God enough to do what is right, even when the outcome is uncer...

This week in worship, we are in chapter 2 of the Book of Ruth, where God begins a story of redemption through seemingly ordinary events. Ruth faithfully goes to glean in the fields, Boaz responds with generosity and kindness, and what appears to be chance becomes evidence of God's providence. This passage reminds us that God often accomplishes extraordinary purposes through everyday acts of faithfulness. When we trust God and serve...

This week in worship, Pastor David begins a new series on the Book of Ruth. The story of Ruth reminds us that God remains faithful even in seasons of grief, loss, and uncertainty. Naomi’s bitterness and sorrow reveal the deep pain that hardship can bring, yet Ruth’s steadfast loyalty becomes a sign of hope and grace. Long before anyone can see restoration coming, God is already at work through ordinary acts of fait...

This week, the prophet Joel speaks to a people who have experienced devastation, loss, and uncertainty, yet God’s message is ultimately one of hope and restoration. Through Joel, God calls the people to return with open and repentant hearts, trusting that renewal is possible even after difficult seasons. Joel also points to the promise of God’s Spirit being poured out on all people, bringing new life, courage, and visio...

This week in worship, Pastor David studies the minor prophet Amos, who reminds us that true worship is inseparable from justice, compassion, and integrity. God calls us not only to remember the legacy of faith passed down through generations, but to live that faith in ways that love our neighbors and seek the good of our community. As we gather for Homecoming, we celebrate both God’s faithfulness in the past and God&rsqu...

This week in worship, Pastor David studies the minor prophet Hosea. Hosea's story tells us about a God whose love is relentless and steady, even when we are not. Through the image of a broken relationship, we see that God does not walk away when we wander, but continues to pursue, restore, and call us home. This is not a love based on our faithfulness, but on God’s unchanging character. Even when we fall short, God’s lo...

This week in worship, Pastor David takes a look at the minor prophet Haggai. In the Book of Haggai, God asks His people to recognize how their priorities have drifted, leaving God’s work neglected. The invitation is not about doing more, but about putting God first in everything. When the people respond, God meets them with a powerful promise, “I am with you,” and their work has renewed purpose. This same cal...

This week in worship, Pastor David begins a series on the minor prophets, beginning with the Book of Habakkuk. The prophet boldly brings his confusion and frustration to God, questioning injustice and the silence he perceives. Rather than being dismissed, his honesty becomes the pathway to deeper faith as he learns to wait and trust in God’s timing. Habakkuk ultimately discovers that faith is not the absence of doubt, bu...

While we enjoy a Palm Sunday cantata, here's an Easter sermon that can take you into this Holy Week. 

How can you understand the resurrection? The journey of faith begins with one step. Keep trying to learn more. Week by week you will be amazed what God will do through these times of worship and exploration. Find time to go open your Bibles. Read the Gospels— Matthew, Mark, Luke and John— to immerse yourself in Jes...
