At DaySpring, Sunday mornings are more than a routine—they’re a gift. Each week, our worship leaders guide us into the presence of God, not simply through song, but through the heart and spirit they bring to every moment. It’s easy to take this for granted, but it is a reminder that worship is a communal experience, rooted in intention and grace. This week, we explored a profound theme from the…

This past Sunday, we continued our journey through the book of James, and we came to a passage that speaks directly to the heart of what it means to live out genuine faith: “My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.” (James 2:1) The Problem of Partiality Pastor [Name] began with a story from Pastor Fred Craddock about a little church in East…

   This Sunday, we were reminded of the incredible strength and peace that comes from putting our faith first. Pastor [Name] shared a message that really hit home: even when life gets messy and overwhelming, God is with us—and He wants us to lean on Him, not just in the big moments, but every single day. One of the key points was about trusting God, even when we don’t…

  Last Sunday, Pastor Joe continued our series through the book of James, reminding us that the Christian life isn’t sustained by enthusiasm, preference, or personality—it’s sustained by the living Word of God. As he opened James chapter 1, verses 19–27, we were challenged to move beyond simply hearing God’s Word to doing it—to allow Scripture to be deeply implanted in our hearts so that it transforms every part of…

Today we’re beginning a new series in the book of James, a letter focused on what it means for Christians to truly grow up in their faith. A bold author, Juan Carlos Ortiz, once argued that the greatest problem facing the church today is the “perpetual childhood of the believer”—sanctuaries full of people who have grown old but never grown up, remaining in spiritual kindergarten. This immaturity creates problems in…

Don’t Let the Fire Go Out: Guarding Against Spiritual Drift (Nehemiah 13)   Good morning, church! As we conclude our series, we turn to Nehemiah chapter 13, a sobering reminder that spiritual life is a fire that needs to be stirred and fed. General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, once told his officers: “I want you young men always to bear in mind that it is the nature…

  In Nehemiah chapter 12, we witness one of the most extraordinary celebrations in biblical history—a parade unlike any other, filled with music, singing, and heartfelt worship. Yet, as Pastor Joe highlighted in this week’s message, this wasn’t just a one-day spectacle. It was a parade rooted in faithfulness, joy, and gratitude to God—a celebration that echoes far beyond the walls of Jerusalem. A Parade Fueled by Faithfulness Imagine a…

This past Sunday, we dove into a seemingly “dry” section of Scripture—Nehemiah chapter 11, a chapter full of names and census data. Yet, even in this list, we discovered profound, timeless truths about what it means to live a life submitted to God’s mission. Nehemiah 11 isn’t just a historical footnote; it’s a powerful invitation for us to re-examine our lives, specifically one area we often overlook: our geography.  …

Explore how the Israelites in Nehemiah 10 renewed their covenant with God, providing timeless lessons for a modern Christian church non-denominational. Discover the importance of shared conviction, holiness, and collective commitment in following Christ. Confronted through this series with a couple pieces, but the one that lingers at the center of it all is WHAT IS THE DEEP SEED OF CONVICTION? What are your convictions, even know? Illustrate it a…

In this Bible lesson on Nehemiah 9, we explore how God’s Word leads to confession, worship, and revival. Discover how the story of Israel’s faithfulness and God’s patience can transform a youth ministry in Fort Collins today.   Introduction There’s a reason people cry at weddings, laugh at reunions, and avoid high school yearbooks… because memory is powerful. It stirs us. It sobers us. And sometimes, it surprises us. But…

I’m still feeling a bit fresh off of NYR, the youth retreat for high school students. There’s a lot I’d like to share about that, but we have a lot of ground to cover today, so I’ll save it for another time. While at NYR, one of the preachers shared the story of a man named Rick Rescorla. Rick was a brave soldier who served in Vietnam, fighting at the…
