Kindred Church Podcast

Looking back over our lives, we can often recognize that God was doing more in certain moments than we could see at that time. In today’s sermon we’ll explore God’s invitation to trust that the same is true right now, and we’ll consider God’s encouragement to dream big and to get ready for a future we can’t fully see yet. Join us as we kick off our new series “Arise! Shine!”

Have you ever been told that you’re not welcome in church because of your demographic or your community? Have you ever been told that you’re outside of God’s love because of how you identify? Tragically, Christians have often been guilty of marginalizing and excluding entire social groups, sometimes citing certain verses of Scripture for justification. But as we’ll explore in today’s sermon, Jesus rejects this kind of exclusion and the weaponization of Scripture that empowers it. Instead, Jesus shows us a better way. Join us as we conclude our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

At Kindred, we fully include women not only in the life of our church, but also in the leadership of our church. While some of us may take that for granted, others may have questions. After all, the majority of churches still place some degree of restriction on the roles women can fill. So why are we different? Are we neglecting the teaching of Scripture? Are we just going along with the culture? In today’s sermon, we’ll consider why we fully include women, why it is biblical, and why we’re better for it. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

Sadly, churches have a reputation for excluding people with struggles, flaws, and failures (which breeds hypocrisy because we all have struggles, flaws, and failures). But in today’s sermon, we’re exploring how Jesus does the opposite: In shocking ways, Jesus includes people whose lives are messy, broken, and in need of healing….aka people like us. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’

We use the word ‘inclusive’ a lot at Kindred because it’s central to our mission. But we sometimes get questions and we often get assumptions about what that word means to us. So that’s what we’re exploring in our new series, ‘Inclusive Like Jesus.’ Over the weeks ahead, we’ll look at 4 specific ways Jesus is inclusive and we’ll consider how we can follow his lead. In today’s sermon, we’re talking about the way Jesus includes people who are questioning, doubting, and even those who are deeply skeptical.

When Jesus calls us to follow, he doesn’t just mean we should connect with him at church on Sundays (though, as we’ve discussed in recent weeks, that is important). But Jesus calls us to walk with him daily. So how can we stay connected to God between Sundays as we’re busy with work, school, and family life? In this week’s sermon, we’re talking about how to cultivate healthy rhythms of personal devotion that can keep us connected to God daily, even on our most hectic of days.

Whether online or in-person, it’s never been easier to do church solo–without meaningfully connecting to other people. For busy people like us, the efficiency of doing church on our own can be appealing. But when we primarily do church solo, we miss the fullness of God’s intent for church and set ourselves up for spiritual struggles. In today’s sermon, we’ll talk about how to do church relationally and why that matters for each of us.

We’re heading into a new season of busyness and stress, which can distract us from God if we’re not intentional. But one counterintuitive way that we can stay connected to God amid the ups and downs of life is by developing the habit of serving others. In today’s sermon, we’re exploring the power of service and why it’s such an important spiritual habit to establish in our lives.

As summer winds to an end and the new academic year looms,

most of us are about to begin a new season of busyness and stress. In the upcoming whirlwind of school, work, and life, it will be all too easy to get distracted from God…which will only make us feel even busier and more stressed. So how can we make sure we stay connected to God through all the things this new season will throw our way? In today’s sermon, we’ll find out.

Sadly, the church has often created excessive guilt and shame about sex. So we may be tempted to roll our eyes at the suggestion that lust is a problem, much less a ‘sin.’ Our culture certainly isn’t worried about it. And yet, Jesus felt the need to give us a surprisingly strong warning against lust within his most famous sermon. So this week in worship, we’re looking at what Jesus has to say about lust, why it still matters today, and how it helps us. Don’t miss this final installment in our series on the 7 Deadly Sins.
