It's July, but Pastor Joshua Brown is asking a question: are you still living Advent? This week at Dream Church, he unpacks what it means to be a people perpetually preparing for the coming of Christ, living like watchmen who can see the morning while it's still night, and why the answer to the anxiety, restlessness, and emptiness of our age isn't a better program or a more entertaining Sunday, it's Jesus.

In this message from Dream Church, Pastor Joshua Brown explores the sacred gift of rest and its central importance in our lives. Drawing from Matthew 11, Genesis 2, and Exodus 20, we discover that rest is not optional—it's holy, essential, and a glimpse of eternity. Discover how practicing proper Sabbath rest restores your soul, realigns your identity, and enables you to live from God's love, rather than life's burdens.
In this message from Dream Church, Pastor Joshua unpacks Bernard of Clairvaux's “Four Degrees of Love” and how they reflect our journey of spiritual formation. From self-centered love to complete union with God, discover how your love for God can deepen and transform every part of your life. Where are you in this progression—and how can you grow?
In this Vision Sunday message, Joshua Brown reflects on Dream Church's journey and introduces a new season of clarity and formation. Drawing from the parable of the four soils in Matthew 13, he challenges the church to become “good soil” by removing distractions and intentionally embracing discipleship. The church's new vision centers on being deeply formed in the love of Jesus and the ways of His kingdom. With this, Dream Church is launching 21 days of prayer and a renewed discipleship pathway, shifting its focus from Sunday services to intentional spiritual formation.

In this episode, Cedric Lauchner of Dream Church in Jacksonville, FL shares his story of planting in an urban context during Covid, and what prayer has meant to his life and church as a church planter and pastor.

Pursuing Jesus
In this week's sermon, Rev. Terence Gray explores the concept of the "Dream Church" and how our fantasies of a perfect church can undermine the true beauty and value of the real church. Drawing from 1 Peter, he emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort and commitment in our relationships within the church community. Pastor Terence challenges us to move beyond consumerist mindsets and transactional relationships, calling us to a Christ-like mindset that values unity, diversity, and sacrificial love. He reminds us that lasting communities and relationships are built and sustained by people who don't put their self-interests first. Join us as we delve into what it means to be part of a true gospel community, committed to one another and to the ongoing work of the Spirit in this world.

Heaven Revelation 21:4 // ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Until Lakeland Looks Like Heaven Matthew 6:10 // Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 KJV // Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Kingdom: A country, state, or territory ruled by a king or queen Kingdom: Wherever the will of a king is carried out Mark 6:1-6 // Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What's this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. If we understand what restrains Jesus, we'll understand what restrains us. We are… 1. High Honor HONOR - Valuable, Precious, Weighty such as gold DISHONOR - Devalue to treat something valuable as common. We want to be know for what we're FOR not what we're AGAINST 2. Hope Dealing “A record 78% didn't think their children's generation will live better than their own, up from 67% in 2019.” - WSJ/UChicago 1 Thessalonians 4:13 // Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 3. Party Throwers Luke 15:7 // I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:10 // In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:22-24 // “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. We are High Honor, Hope Dealing, Party Throwers!

They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Luke 9:23 (ESV) // Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Deny themselves means total surrender.

You are the dwelling place of God (Ephesians 2:22). You are Zion. However, many of us live our lives attempting to control the weather around us instead of being who we really are and simply observing the weather for the providential beauty that it is. We must become Zion again. To support the ministry of Dream Church, please visit www.dreamcolumbia.com/give

Dream Church is a very unique expression of the church in a post-modern era. In this message, Pastor Joshua Brown teaches on why we are a church rebuilding the temple of Zion (metaphorically) rather than a duplicate of Babylon. What you allow in will ultimately rule over you.
If anyone knows what the Church could look like at its best, it's the apostle Paul. He spent his life planting churches, watering them with care, and watching God bring growth. So when he heard about a new church plant in Colossae, he sent a letter to encourage and teach them. The letter opens with a powerful prayer - a picture of what the dream church could look like. A place where our theology is grace and our ethic is gratitude. Join us at GraceLife this Sunday to see that the dream might be closer to reality than we think.
Canadian culture is a culture of comfort. It's being sold to us everywhere we look. We're encouraged to do what we want, when we want, with whomever we want. If something is uncomfortable, we want to avoid it at all costs. The Christian faith, though, is just that: uncomfortable. This week we begin a four-part series called Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community. We were built for community, but our desire for comfort often leads us to distance ourselves from one another. Could it be that your dream of church is the very thing that is keeping you from experiencing the joy and blessings of church?
In this message, Josiah wraps up the dream church series by discussing how the church is meant to be a battleship, not a cruise ship. The church is designed for a mission, not for entertainment. We hope that this message inspires you to be more involved in your church and to wage the spiritual battle against darkness everyday.

In this message, Josiah seeks to answer the question, what are the quality characteristics of the family of God? Each of us has a different family background, but we all need to base our idea of family, not from our experiences, but from the Bible.
Message from Phil Wayman on January 9, 2022
An essential aspect to our faith is to give God praise with thanksgiving and gratitude. In this message, Joy Gruits shows how Scripture commands again and again the need to declare our gratefulness to the Lord.
A church cannot be passionate about Jesus without also being passionate about helping the needy. In this message we focus on the missions efforts we are conducting around the world.
God's grace is the foundation of the kind of church we are dreaming of. In this message, Pastor Tony reminds us that it is only by God's power that we will see revival and fulfillment of his promises. There is a new day approaching, and we need to trust and lean on Him.
