Christians should care about others and about the state of our culture and nation. In this week of "What's the Point?" Rev. Tom looks at the call to care for others - including those who may seem to be different or think differently than we do. How can we be more of an example of still loving other people when we disagree?

Bumping into Jesus

One of the things Christians should care about: our spiritual health and salvation / getting right with God. But do we understand salvation? Many people "bumped into Jesus," or had contact with him when he was in a crowd. Yet not all of them were changed nor saved just from this casual or accidental contact.

Ending Alone
July 10, 2022 • Rev. Tom Shinkle • Luke 6:37–42, Ruth 1:14–18

And, for those who are searching for this, how are you putting yourself out there to make new friends that share your faith?
