Garden City Sermons

Abundance or...

What do you think about when you think about the future? Jesus invites us to imagine the future from a place of abundance. How do you do that?

Disappointment, Wonder, and...Garden City Los Angeles?

God's bigness and nearness creates safety so we can go out into the world. Since Craig and Luke launched Garden City we had dreams that we would be part of a movement. Too many people believe church doesn't work. Instead of rearranging the furniture on a sinking ship we want to build something new. Garden City is that new thing. We reach out with hospitable orthodoxy. We worship Jesus as Lord and all are welcome. We're beginning to see how this one church is becoming a movement. Listen to find out how.

Let the Stranger be Strange

We all feel like outsiders from time to time. If Taylor Swift feels like an outsider, why would we think we wouldn't? How does God feel about outsiders? Psalm 87 makes a bold claim, God re-narrates outsiders' histories to make them insiders. What does that mean for us?

Psalm 131 - Letting go and holding on

What if our insecurity and anxiety come from trying to hold onto things that were never ours to carry? In Psalm 131, we see an invitation to let go of what isn’t ours so we can make room for what is, and discover what happens when we do.

Psalm 23 - security is a person not a place

When the world around us feels unstable, it often reveals how fragile the things we lean on really are. In Psalm 23, David points us toward a different kind of security, one not rooted in a place, a circumstance, or our ability to hold everything together, but in the presence of a Shepherd who sees what we cannot see and loves us with unfailing love.
