Unoffendable: What’s Your Response?

All of us have experienced offense and been offended. We’ve all felt the pull to respond in kind. How should the gospel shape the way we respond to being offended? Is it possible that we settle for a cheap knock off way of handling problems when God offers the best response possible? Proximity breeds empathy.

1 Samuel 25

Speaker: Bob Kadlecik

Mirror Images: One Flesh

Everyone has thoughts on singleness and marriage. The world, our families, our friends, and even churches have a lot to say about it. But what does God really have to say about it?

Genesis 1:18-25

Mirror Images: Sexual Identity

History has not always reflected well on people of faith and those who identify as transgender. But followers of Jesus must both seek to understand the dynamics of transgenderism while responding in Christlike love to those who are wrestling with issues of identity. This message will help us understand how we arrived at this cultural moment, what God’s Word has to say about it, and how to wisely and lovingly respond to all people.

Genesis 1:26-28

Mirror Images: In His Own Image

What if we aren’t just animals but something more – created in the image of God? It would mean that all human life is equally sacred no matter your color, sex, size, or how little of life is left.

Genesis 1:26-27

Speaker: Bob Kadlecik 

Mirror Images: In the Beginning God

'In the beginning God' are some of the most important words to understand the world we live in. In the beginning God spoke creation into existence with design, intention, and purpose. This reality has powerful implications for some of the most important conversations of our day. We are not left to culture, opinion, or our own thoughts to determine the answers to these questions. God, through His Word, has made available for us the answers to questions about life, sexuality, gender, marriage, and more.

Whatever is most important in your life will ultimately serve as the grid in which you make your decisions through. In order to understand the world we live in, we must see our world through the right lens. God, the Creator of everything, is the ultimate source of life and truth. That reality must filter how we answer every ethical and moral question we encounter.

Genesis 1:1-3

Exodus 16:2-27

Speaker: Aaron Patton

I Quit (being afraid): Confronting

He’s a terrible boss. Almost everything he says is a lie. He sucks the life out of you and anyone he’s around. He holds you back from so much joy and adventure. And yet so many continue to serve Him. Who is he? Fear. It’s time for you to turn in your resignation and quit fear.

Week 1: I quit fear by confronting lies and believing God's truth.

Matthew 6:23-24

Death, Defeated

This weekend is a weekend of celebration. It’s a weekend of celebration because what we celebrate at Easter changed everything for humanity. It brings hope to those that are hopeless. It speaks new life to those who are desperate for a brighter future. In times of difficulties we cling to hope that our worst days won’t be all of our days, & Easter provides that hope!
