Jesus said, "You are the light of the world." But how seriously do we take that call? In our new series, Student Pastor Matt Gardner asks us if the next generation really matters. And if it does, are we willing to be the bright lights of Jesus to them?

Today, we want you to know you can stay positive even when it comes to tough conversations. Our desire to be anti-racist and have loving dialogue can bear fruit if we stay positive!

Staying positive during the season is hard. That's why were doing this series. But there is a first step to staying positive. You first have to get positive!

As humans, we often fight to stay in control. But the reality of this world is that we rarely are. Fortunately, we know who is in control. But Paul gives us a step-by-step process to help us fully recognize God's control, his goodness, and His faithfulness in our lives.

You CAN do ALL things through Christ. But do you believe it? Part of believing it's possible is having the right mindset. And part of that mindset is living a life that expresses the fruits of the Spirit. Today, we tie these two parts of Paul's message together to create a fuller picture of "I Can."

In a season of life in which we are experiencing trauma and crisis, we actually believe that it is a time for us to grow. But in order for us to take that step into growth, we have to decide to put Jesus over Everything.

We are striving to develop a culture of honor at The Church at Severn Run. And right now, that means going against the grain of the culture we see around us; what is often a culture of contempt. How do we do that? First, accept that God has already honored you through his love. And second, give honor by choosing grace.

Honor others above yourself. It's the groundwork for how we at The Church at Severn Run are going to approach the sin of racism in the coming days, weeks, and months. Today, we began the conversation by sitting down with fellow Severn Runner and Diversity and Inclusion Consultant Rev. Charles Belo.

Gathering is essential to faith. The church of the first century knew it, and we should follow their lead even in this time of being apart. Lead Pastor Drew Shofner walks us through how we, as a community, will attempt to follow their model.

It's our second week talking about growing through prayer. And this time it's a believing prayer. A prayer that leads to a growing grace. A prayer that takes away our excuses and opens us up to the promise that God will give us the true desires of our hearts: Himself!
