Church Hurt
We Follow Christ, Not Christians
March 2, 2025
| John 6:60-69
| Hadley Baker
As believers, we are called to follow Christ, not other Christians. If our faith is built solely on people, disappointment is inevitable. However, when we fix our eyes on Jesus - the perfect Savior - our faith will remain strong, and our will be satisfied. Not all Christians are hypocrites, but even the most faithful will fall short. Christ alone is our ultimate example, our source of hope, and the One who never fails.
When Christians Clash

| Acts 15:36-41

Conflict and division can arise even among believers. Whether it's personal preferences, theological interpretations, or cultural differences, Christians often see things from a different perspective. Despite our differences, the Bible calls us to pursue peace and harmony. In this message we will explore what this looks like pragmatically.
You Don't Want A Perfect Church
March 16, 2025
| Luke 19:1-10
| Hadley Baker
If we expect the church to be a place without flaws, we miss the very heart of the gospel. The church is a family of imperfect people saved by grace, a hospital for the wounded, not a showcase for the flawless. Instead of striving for perfection, we should strive for authenticity, welcoming all who need God’s love and redemption.
