What if following Jesus doesn’t make us smaller, but whole?

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Ryan reflects on Jesus calling the first disciples and Isaiah’s promise of light in places pushed to the margins. He shares how faith is not about shrinking who we are, but stepping into the fullness God already sees in us.

This message speaks to queer and trans siblings, chosen family, working people, and anyone who has been told they must hide parts of themselves to belong. At Oak Lawn UMC, scripture doesn’t stay on the page. It becomes story in real bodies, real communities, and real acts of love. 
Where light replaces fear, belonging comes before behaving, and healing restores dignity instead of erasing difference.

Come listen. Come be reminded. Come be whole.
