This isn’t your typical 4th of July sermon. This one might make you a bit angry.

In a week that exposed the deep cracks in our country’s soul — from cruel immigration policies to brutal budget cuts masked as reform — we’re asking: why do we claim to be a “Christian nation” when our actions scream the opposite?

This episode wrestles with the grief, anger, and betrayal many of us feel in these times, and offers a fierce reminder: faith doesn’t look away from injustice. It speaks up. It shows up. It resists.

If your heart is heavy and your hope feels shaky, you’re not alone. Let’s stand in the truth together — and remember that the work still matters. The dream still lives. And the light? It’s ours to carry. 

Welcome to Sunday Sermons with Pastor Mike.
