As we gear-up for another election year, but before we all lose our minds, Pastor Mark is offering a new two-week message series titled, "The Mission of the Church in Politically Divisive Times." In this message, we talk about how partisan politics can co-opt the church, pull it off course, and destroy its unique voice. Fortunately, the Bible offers us a solution. Check it out to receive wisdom that will help you maintain peace.

Disagreeing Politically, Loving Unconditionally

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Mark Reynolds • Galatians 6:2, John 13:34–35, Matthew 5:47

Jesus calls to love unconditionally even when we disagree politically, but this is too hard without some kind of strategy. After dispelling a few myths that perpetuate division, Pastor Mark points us to Galatians 6 where the Apostle Paul tells us what we need to do to love our political enemies the way that God has loved us in Christ. This is the second message in a series, "The Mission of the Church in Politically Divisive Times."
