February 16, 2020 • Brian Gerard

In the final message in our series exploring how we can cross the theological, ideological, and political divides that we face, we are reminded of something very important - hope matters.

During his message, Brian mentioned a radio segment about people from a conservative eastern Kentucky town forming a relationship with people from a progressive town in Massachusetts. That segment can be found using the link provided.

The original version of today's musical special, "See the Love" performed by The Brilliance is also available via link.

Who Is My Neighbor?

Our theological, ideological, and political differences are becoming a primary source of brokenness in the world and if we are serious about bringing healing and hope into this particular time and place we have to address these issues head-on. The question is, How do we do that? As part of his message, Brian referred to the summary document created after the church-wide conversations that took place in September 2019. That document can be found at the link provided.

Diverse by Design

January 12, 2020 • Brian Gerard

In a society torn apart by theological, ideological, and political divides, the church is meant to be a reconciling presence. At the core of that ministry is the call of Jesus to build church that is diverse by design. In this message, Brian mentioned a previous sermon that details the concept of bonded and centered communities and why it is so important to First Christian Church of Louisville. You can find that sermon at the link provided.

Relationships Matter

The first step in crossing the theological, ideological, and political divides that we face is to follow the example of Jesus and forming relationships with other people - especially those who are not like us. As part of his sermon, Brian mentioned the book, "I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening)" and the podcast "Pantsuit Politics". You can find both at the links provided.
