Engaging Your Athens - 05/03/2026
In Acts 17:16–31, Paul walks into a city full of idols—and instead of withdrawing or attacking, he pays attention, builds a bridge, and points people to the one true God. This follow-up sermon explores how God calls us not only to the people we’d never choose (Acts 9), but also into cultures, conversations, and spaces that feel far from faith. We’ll see how Paul models a posture of deep concern, careful listening, and courageous clarity, and we’ll ask: What does it look like for us to engage our modern “Athens”—our workplaces, online spaces, and everyday relationships—so that unknown gods become known in Jesus Christ?

Living Like Jesus in a Grasping World - 05/17/2026
In a world that teaches us to hold tightly to power, status, and control, Jesus shows us another way. In Philippians 2, Paul shares one of the earliest hymns of the church. We receive a vision of Christ who did not cling to privilege, but emptied himself in love, taking the form of a servant. Through humility, compassion, and self-giving love, Jesus reveals the very heart of God.This week, we’ll explore what it means to have “the mind of Christ” in our relationships, our communities, and our everyday lives. What would change if we stopped grasping for greatness and instead embraced the way of humble love?
