Welcome to The Collective Table, where we celebrate the intersections of Jesus, justice, and joy. In this special Pride Sunday teaching, Co-Lead Pastor Jason Coker continues The Spirit of Action series by diving into Acts 10:44-48.

Jason challenges listeners to examine how they read Scripture—whether as a "child" demanding strict obedience, a "geek" lost in ancient contexts, or a "prophet" who sees the broader picture of God's radically inclusive love. Through the story of Peter and Cornelius, he illustrates how the Holy Spirit constantly crosses human boundaries to include those marginalized by society.

Reminding us that rules exist for human good, Jason calls the church to act with prophetic urgency—like an ambulance rushing to save a life—to fully affirm, protect, and celebrate our queer siblings.
