Russel preaches a short message on the importance of Jesus as the foundation of covenant community. A panel of Reunion CG leaders (Rachel, Katie, & Alejandro) provide insight into the challenges and practices of healthy church community.
Russel highlights the characteristics of the early church described in Acts, and points us to a vision of community emulating a God who keeps His covenants to His people.
Pastor Russel takes a look at God's heart for true fasting, as revealed in Isaiah 58. He challenges the church to cultivate an inner desire for true justice and mercy.
Guest preacher Peter Ong leads us through the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler in Matthew 19. He shows us that rather than simply good deeds, we are called to love God and know his heart for all people, desiring proximity and right relationships with our neighbors.
Emily teaches from Romans, describing the new life available to us through Jesus. She illustrates the "dark cloud" that was life before Jesus, and walks us through the meaning of becoming children of God with power to live a changed life through the working of the Holy Spirit.
Guest preacher Benjamin Lee contrasts the common cultural view of hospitality against the biblical description in Matthew 25. He then provides a summary of the essential traits found in a church community marked by hospitality.
Russel begins the Cultivating series that will explore the five primary values of Reunion Church. This sermon describes what true hospitality looks like, and how the church can cultivate a safe and welcoming space.
