In the Darkroom, Part 3 – Danny’s Story
June 3, 2010
From time to time, life throws you a curve ball. The conversation you didn’t want to have. The news you didn’t want to hear. The phone call you didn’t want to receive. And when that happens, if feels like we’ve been locked in a darkroom with no answers to your questions. If God really loves us, why would he let this happen? Why doesn’t he answer our prayers? How will this ever turn out in any good way?
This week Danny Oertli, one of our worship leaders, shares his own personal experience in the darkroom through story and song.

The Good Life, Part 3 – The Way
May 3, 2010
The Good Life. Three simple words with very deep meaning. Just saying the words evokes complex thoughts, emotions, and desires. But what does it mean to really live the good life? How do you know how to get there? How do you know when you’re there? How do you stay there?
In the first two weeks of this series we looked at the book of Ecclesiastes and found out that just denying our desires doesn’t lead to the good life, and neither does just indulging our desires. This week we look at what Jesus had to say about the good life.

The Good Life, Part 2 – Some is Good; Is More Better?
April 25, 2010
The Good Life. Three simple words with very deep meaning. Just saying the words evokes complex thoughts, emotions, and desires. But what does it mean to really live the good life? How do you know how to get there? How do you know when you’re there? How do you stay there?
In week one we concluded that denying our desires wasn’t the way to find the good life. God created good things in life to enjoy, and that enjoyment is a gift from God. But if some is good, does that mean more is better? Should we indulge our desires and chase after all the things we want? This week we’ll continue looking at Solomon’s life through Ecclesiastes to find out what happened when he indulged himself in pursuit of the good life.

The Good Life, Part 1 – Don’t Deny It
April 19, 2010
The Good Life. Three simple words with very deep meaning. Just saying the words evokes complex thoughts, emotions, and desires. But what does it mean to really live the good life? How do you know how to get there? How do you know when you’re there? How do you stay there?
This week Stephen invites us to explore the desires of our heart that make up our picture of the Good Life. Are these desires an accurate guide to take us in the right direction or are they actually misleading us?

Easter
April 5, 2010
For some, the story of Easter is unbelievable, literally. Others think it really did happen, but celebrate it one day a year (with Easter eggs and chocolate to boot!) But if Jesus really rose from the grave, doesn’t that make it the defining event of the entire Christian faith? Is it enough to believe that Easter happened? Or does something change when we begin to believe in Easter?

Last Words, Part 5 – A New Deal
March 29, 2010
This is part five of our series, Last Words. It’s been said that when people are facing death, they get serious about life. They look back and reflect on the most important things. They look ahead and ponder the unknown future. And they take a moment to pass along their last words to those closest to them. In this series, we’re looking at Jesus’ last words.
This week at New Denver was a little different. Instead of a message, we watched Most, an Academy-Award-nominated short film. The film is a modern-day parable that beautifully depicts the themes of sacrificial love and redemption that we celebrate as we reflect on the last week of Jesus’ life. For those of you who were unable to attend this week, the film is available through the Most website or you can watch it here in these three video segments available on YouTube. After watching the video, we invite you to reflect on the Scripture passages listed below. Read more

They look ahead and ponder the unknown future. And they take a moment to pass along their last words to those closest to them. In this series, we’re looking at Jesus’ last words.
What makes a person great? Is greatness defined by your accomplishments? Your competence? Your success? Or is possible that greatness should be measured in a totally different way. Jesus thinks so.
