Christ reigns over all things.
Current Series: Christ and Culture (Jan 10 - Mar 6)
Are you a Democrat or Republican? Is abortion wrong in every circumstance? Do you side with "Black Lives Matter" or "All Lives Matter?" Is same sex marriage okay? How does following Jesus impact our thoughts on any of this? Should it? How can one Christian think this and another think that? Is one wrong and the other right? Does disagreement invalidate gospel truth? How do we talk about these things with coworkers, neighbors, and friends?
Why does the church avoid what everyone else is talking about? Over the next two months, we won't. We will engage in the conversations everyone else is having. We will consider cultural issues with Christ centered thinking, asking the Spirit to illuminate the scriptures that we could walk as individuals and as a church into a world that desperately needs the gospel. Christ was no monastic ostrich. Christ was no bullhorn fundamentalist. Nor was He a happy medium.
We will hear from the scriptures, be equipped as individuals, and dialogue together as we seek Christ in these things. Topical sermons will be followed with question and answer sessions. Resources will be provided for personal development. Open forums will create space for corporate dialogue.
Christ reigns over all things. Christ purchased every part of each of us. Our faith in Him must influence every thought and every action, in every area of our lives.
