What does Jesus mean by turning the other cheek? Is this a call to continue to submit to harm at the hands of another? In this sermon Pastor Kalli creates a framework for another way. A way in which we do not retaliate but we also do not allow our souls to take a beating. We are deeply loved and valued by God and, therefore, we must handle our souls with care.

Two Sides Of The Same Soul
August 27, 2023 • T.D. Davis
We believe in a bodily resurrection. At first glance this statement seems obvious in regards to the Christian faith, yet the work of the church in the world can often evoke a sense of non-physical emphasis through "spiritual work” and the “saving of souls”. It’s easy to imagine the repercussions of a body without a soul, but what about a soul without a body? In this message, T.D. Davis (co-lead pastor) walks us through God’s relationship to the human body and the practical implications this has for an ongoing journey of Soul Care.
Compassion or Contempt
August 20, 2023 • Kalli Davis
Cynicism is a reality we all encounter as we live in this world. This too was shared by those in scriptures, as we see in Ecclesiastes. However, we can allow this to grow our compassion for the world or lead us towards contempt for the other. In this message we discuss ways in which we can live with eyes wide open and still remain soft hearted towards the brokenness we see.
God Loves A Hot Mess
August 13, 2023 • T.D. Davis
In spiritual terms, people have often used the language that we have a “true self” as well as an “adapted self”, or what the early church leader Paul describes in Ephesians 4 as the “new man” and the “old man". As we often chaotically flow between the old and the new in our lives we can collectively admit — We’re all a hot mess! In this message, we explore the freedom to be who we truly are at a soul-deep level, while being embraced by God’s love in the midst of our complexity and shortcomings.
