Join us this Sunday for a powerful message in our series, "The Elephant in the Room," where we delve into "A Christian Politic." In a world where the realms of faith and politics often seem at odds, we explore the indispensable role of Christian values in political engagement. Michael Wear reminds us that no aspect of life, including politics, should be exempt from God's influence, challenging the notion that God is either too pure or too inept to be involved in political affairs. This Sunday's message will guide us through the importance of Christians interacting with systems of power to champion the common good, while also recognizing that what often passes for politics falls short of this meaningful engagement. We'll discuss the necessity for Christians to approach politics with calm rationality, understanding that political outcomes are not the end-all. Our journey will take us through a Christian approach to politics that emphasizes: 1. More Local: Encouraging Christians to focus their political efforts where they can make the most impact: at the local level. A reminder that significant change starts with the smallest ripples in our immediate communities. 2. More Vocal: The call to speak truth to power boldly and with conviction, using our voices to advocate for righteousness, even in the face of opposition. 3. More Loving: Shifting the focus from self to others, asking how political issues and decisions affect both ourselves and our neighbors, fostering a less self-centered, fearful, and angry approach to political discourse. We'll close with a contemplative reflection on what it means to truly live out Jesus's commandment to love one another (John 13:34-35).

"The Way I See It" series offers an exploration of how our various perspectives shape our thoughts, values, and choices. In this series, listeners will dive into three fundamental questions about their worldview: Where did we come from? What's wrong with the world? and How do we fix it? Through 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, the series emphasizes the importance of recognizing and challenging false conceptions about reality, highlighting that even Christians must stay vigilant against deceptive systems of thinking. Ultimately, we want to see the world from the viewpoint of the cross, acknowledging the beauty and brokenness in the world, breaking down the divide between the sacred and secular, and emphasizing that Christianity is a truth with global significance, not just a private belief.
