If you missed the Coram Deo Church event: Building for Cultural Reformation with Dr. John West, you can now watch it here.

Is American culture in a death spiral? If so, what can the church do about it? Increasingly, the institutions we depend on for vibrant communities—churches, families, schools, businesses, and the media—appear to be failing. Less than two in ten Americans have a “great deal” of confidence in the church, public schools, banks, newspapers, the medical system, or the criminal justice system. More than 80% of Americans think the moral state of the nation is getting worse. We are told by some we live in a “negative world” where Christianity itself is now viewed as a threat rather than a help. In this situation, how can Christians respond constructively? Join Dr. John West as he draws on lessons from America’s past to explore how churches and Christians today can play a positive role in reforming our culture.

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Jon preaches on Luke 12:49-53. You are invited to watch our 9:30 service on Facebook Live.

Coram Deo is a nondenominational church that meets in Bremerton, WA. We exist to love God, connect people, and change the world. When we gather together on Sundays, we hear the preaching of God’s Word, and respond by worshipping & taking communion together.

In this follow-up episode of The Blitz, Pastor Jon explains why attending a wedding between two unbelievers is not the same as attending a same-sex wedding.

The Exodus isn't just about delivering the Hebrews from slavery to the tyrant Pharaoh; it's also about delivering God's people from the tyranny of sin. This is why the story doesn't end after the slaves are free from Egypt. They are then brought into the wilderness where God reveals their sinful grumbling through testing. In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten discuss how God uses trials to reveal areas where we are tempted to trust in something other than God, and how God's abundant provision teaches us to live in light of his care for us.

We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides—or anything else, email us at [email protected].
