Downtown Church family,

This coming Lord’s day is shaping up to be a special one! As we’re coming into Father’s Day weekend, we’ll take time in our service to honor the dads and father figures in our faith family. We’re incredibly grateful for the men the Lord has brought into our church, and we look forward to giving them the honor they’re due.

We’ll also spend time unpacking an incredibly important thought as we seek to answer a Big Question: “Can you explain the Trinity?” For years, pastors and preachers have attempted to come up with analogies to illustrate the nature of the Trinity. The problem with these analogies is they all fall short — because what we ‘know’ in this world can’t compare with the beauty of the reality of this blessed doctrine.

We hope you’ll join us as we seek to understand the greatness of God our Father, the hope found in Jesus Christ, and the reality of His Spirit who is in and with His children today.

We look forward to worshiping and celebrating with you this coming Lord’s day! Enjoy your weekend. See you soon, DTC!

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David Cagle

Downtown Church family,

For the month of June, we’re in a Sunday series called “Big Questions”. We’re not just asking questions; we’re submitting ourselves to the authority of God’s Word to answer these questions for us.

The big question we’ll see answered in God’s Word this week is, “Is hell real?” While it’s not a fun topic to consider, it is an important one. Jesus actually spoke quite a bit on this topic. As we’ll see, hell has a way of showing us the severity of sin and the magnitude of God’s grace.

A prayer of our leadership is that this study will prompt us to be burdened for those who do not know Christ, while also appreciating the very real implications His gospel avails to us. If you know someone who might benefit from this study, we would love for you to invite them. Even now, let’s pray that the Lord prepares our hearts for our corporate gathering.

We look forward to worshipping the Lord with you and yours this coming Lord’s day. See you soon, church fam.

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David

Downtown Church family,

We’re officially in “Summer mode” at DTC! For us, that involves things like mission trips, Summer Jam, and Student Camp. We’re also kicking off a new sermon series for the month of June that we’re calling “Big Questions”.

There’s some big questions that are being asked in our world today. This Sunday, we’ll tackle a core, doctrinal question that is important for us to know the answer to:
“Is Jesus the only way to God?”

There are some of you reading that who think, “Of course He’s the only way to God!” But statistics show there are actually ’several’ in the church today who find themselves questioning this belief. Our hope and prayer for you, is that you leave this week’s corporate gathering reminded of the steady and firm foundation we have in Christ Jesus our Lord. He is truly a cornerstone to His people.

Also, please keep our students in your prayers as they attend our all-campus Student Camp beginning tomorrow. There are many stories of God moving in the hearts of the next generation at these camps. We’re praying this one is no exception.

I hope you all have a great weekend! We look forward to worshipping the Lord with you and yours this coming Lord’s day. Much love, DTC!

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David Cagle

Psalm 96:3–4a (ESV)
3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

The word “declare” here can also be translated “announce.” The psalmist is urging God’s people to announce His marvelous works. And who are we to proclaim those works to? — “the nations.”

Right now, we have a team in Costa Rica serving alongside one of our international ministry partners, 6:8 Ministries. For more than 20 years, they have faithfully been declaring the glory of God and making disciples here. Even after all these years of Kingdom work, there are still many people to reach and much work to be done.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to come alongside them and play a small part in making Christ known in this part of the world.

Whether or not you ever go on a mission trip, every believer can play a role in taking/sending the gospel to the nations. Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your faithful support of the work God is calling our church to.

And let’s not forget — we have the same mission back home. May we continue working together to take this message of hope to the nations, including our own.

See you soon, DTC! Much love.

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David Cagle

If God brought us through the river, He can bring us through what comes next.

The Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan during flood season with no way forward. But God made a way. Before the water stopped, they had to step out in faith first.

Sometimes obedience comes before understanding.

The same God who was faithful then is faithful now.

“The Lord is the strength of His people.”
Psalm 28:8

Greetings Downtown Church,

There’s an old adage many of us grew up hearing: “If you aim for nothing, you’ll hit it every time.” That is so true, and it’s also true with the words we use. Here’s how the Apostle Paul explained that thought:

Ephesians 4:29 (ESV)
29Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

In recent days, I've enjoyed hearing of several in our faith family who have offered or received encouragements from others in our church. And let’s be clear—none of those happened by accident. Choices were made to intentionally ‘aim for’ building someone up.

But what happens when we “aim for nothing” with our words? What we see in this text is if we don’t willfully choose words that “build up, as fits the occasion,” then it won’t “give grace to those who hear”. Instead, we’re just filling up conversations with noise, or worse...

My hope in this regard is that this trend continues in our church… Let’s choose words that build one another up. Let’s speak to others in our faith family in a way that prompts them to become more like Christ. The Lord just may desire to use the words of your mouth for His purposes.

I hope you all have a great weekend! We look forward to worshipping the Lord with you and yours this coming Lord’s day. See you soon, DTC!

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David Cagle

It’s possible to look religious on the outside while giving God very little of our hearts.

In Malachi 1, God rebuked His people because they honored Him with empty sacrifice instead of wholehearted devotion. They gave Him what was leftover instead of what was best.

God is not looking for casual worship or surface-level faith.

He is worthy of our honor, surrender, and lives.

May Christ not simply be part of our lives, may He be our ALL.

Greetings Downtown Church,

In our current series, “Honor”, we’ve been acknowledging specific people within our faith family who are worthy of honor.

When we think about those worthy of honor in this world, we often think of selfless service, sacrifice, and faithful accomplishments. With that in mind, who in all the universe is more deserving of honor than the Lord Himself?

This week, we’ll learn what God’s Word teaches when it comes to honoring the Lord with our lives. As we’ll see, honoring God doesn’t simply involve words; it compels a lifestyle of action.

We hope you’ll make plans to join us this coming Lord’s day. Enjoy your weekend. See you soon, DTC!

Your brother in Christ,
Pastor David Cagle
