Are you concerned about deep fakes?

Time to take off the masks.

Jesus did what he said and practiced what he preached. Live Radical Love, Make Peace with God.

Creative Conflict Series, Week 6

Formation Pastor Brian Faught

Relationship are difficult with dishonest people. Live with a radical commitment to honesty, integrity, and doing what you said you would do. Live Authentic.

We need to feel safe to have healthy relationships. Make your relationships safe.

Connection, intimacy, relationship. We all desire for closeness with people, to know and be known. But tragically, we often trade true, pure love for a form of lust. When we use and abuse people, it numbs us to real connection and intimacy. Jesus wants all of us to experience deep relationships, but if we treat people like objects, we won't be able to connect. 

“I hate conflict.” Most people would resonate with this comment. But relational conflicts are inevitable. As followers of Jesus, we have his teaching and example to show us how to do healthy conflict. Jesus not only modeled healthy conflict, but he also actually created relational conflict when needed. In this series, we will discover Jesus’ teaching in the sermon on the mount and consider the wisdom of this life. Follow Jesus as he transforms you into a good person from whom good things naturally flow!

This service is a lament. We will take time to lament personally and corporately.

As we enter into Lent. Let's draw close to Jesus, the suffering servant.

There are three metaphors for Lament: Ashes – Loss, Salt – Tears, and Wormwood (bitter root) – Bitterness. When we Lament, we enter a deep grief that expresses loss, pain, bitterness, and often regret. Grief is acknowledging what has been lost and what we had hoped for that we will not receive. The contrast between where we were and where we had hoped to be contrasted with where we find ourselves needs to be acknowledged before it can be accepted.
