Today’s cultural landscape is overcome with polarization that forces people into opposing camps and pits them against each other. In this contentious time, the Church has a moral obligation to resist this trap of antagonism by showing the world what it looks like to truly love your neighbor—and your enemy—in the midst of your differences. Pulling from Dan White, Jr.’s Love Over Fear and other resources we will challenge our community to be light and love in the world around us.

Us vs. Them (06-13-2020)

Building on our previous series, we want to examine how the Church can live in such a way to bring light and love into the world. In order to do this, we must resist the cultural trap of the enemy-making machine that puts us into camps of “Us” vs. “Them.”

I Disagree Pt I (06-20-2020)

We are all created uniquely. So often we find ourselves in conversations with people who we don’t agree with and view things differently. Understanding the powerful tools we have as believers to bring light and love in the midst of those conversations is a critical piece to moving forward. As followers of Jesus we can help set the stage for change by using the power of love.

Speaker: Pastor Philip

I Disagree Pt II (07-04-2020)

As we continue to unpack how we engage those we disagree with, we take a look at some values to guide those conversations. Join us as we look at some practical ways to move forward in the difficult work of moving towards those people in affection avoiding the trap of antagonism.

Inward Work (07-11-2020)

We are called to carry light and love to a world guided by fear. Before we can begin we must address the fear in our own lives that keep us from pursuing relationship and restoration.

Rich Love (07-18-2020)

In order for us to show the world how powerful love can be, we must start by being honest with ourselves. How we begin to shed our natural defaults and instead “put on” grace and compassion will often times be the catalyst to others discovered the rich love of Jesus.

Speaker: Pastor Philip

Choose Unity (07-25-2020)

Everything seems to be out of sorts these days. Between COVID-19, politics, racial divides, and our daily routines there isn’t much that seems “normal” in our world. What we decide proactively to do pertaining to our perspectives and relationships will often either unify or divide us even before we open our mouths. Making that choice ahead of time will often lead to people closer to Jesus than we might realize.
