Learning From Strangers

In a culture that makes it easier than ever to avoid real human interaction, followers of Jesus are called to live differently. In this message, Pastor Brad challenges us to resist isolation, practice intentional hospitality, and rediscover the sacredness of everyday encounters. Drawing from Hebrews 13 and the story of Jesus with the stranger on the road to Emmaus, we learn how God often shows up through unexpected people and unplanned moments. This sermon invites us to see the image of God in everyone we meet and to create “holy friction” by engaging with the world rather than hiding from it.
