In the final week of our core values series, Co-Lead Pastor Jason Coker unpacks what it means to put "Faith in Action." Exploring the familiar parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25, Jason tackles an ancient religious debate: Which is more righteous, spiritual devotion or good deeds?

Through a highly relatable (and slightly exhausting) metaphor about the never-ending reality of home repair, Jason illustrates the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world. He challenges the modern Christian tendency to focus on signaling the "right" religious identity rather than doing the actual work of the Gospel. Ultimately, Jesus makes it clear: God identifies with the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the imprisoned.

Join us for a grounded, practical message about stepping past performative faith and committing to the everyday acts of loving-kindness and justice that keep our shared "house" from falling apart.
