"We feel this desire to be well thought of by doing right in other people's eyes- whatever community it is we care about receiving acceptance from. Jesus frees us from that need, and gives us a new way to live, by enjoying his acceptance".

We're by nature forgetful people, constantly misremembering the goodness of God. Memorial stones are visible reminders of God's faithfulness in our lives. God calls his people to set up monuments of God's faithfulness.

Our country and city are groaning under the weight of our collective brokenness: racially, physically and spiritually. The Good News of Jesus is that He’s come to heal our central relationships. Jesus has come to make his enemies into friends and to welcome them to join Him as he makes all things new. The gospel gives us courage to confess our own sins, strength to renew our relationships and hope that all will be made right.

We live in a time where there’s so much uncertainty and unrest. 1 Corinthians 15 gives us a glimpse of a final resolution, God’s final act in the drama of redemption.
