Part 2: Peace in a Chaotic Season

May 19, 2024 • Ryan Oddo • Philippians 3:17—4:9

Has it ever felt like the world was swirling around you? Or that it was moving way too fast to keep up? The world can feel chaotic, and in fact, it is one of the Enemy's greatest weapons that he uses to divide and conquer. If he can use chaos to divide a church, marriage, friendship and then destroy that community, he will. And yet we have a God who gives peace. He even IS our peace. Do you need Peace in a Chaotic Season? Look to Jesus and the Holy Spirit to form you into a person of peace, capable of holding community together and maintaining an Indivisible spirit.

Part 9: Quick to Listen in a Belligerent Time

July 21, 2024 • Ryan Oddo • James 1:19–20, Daniel 4:34–37

There's no question that leadership has great impact on our society. So we ought to pray for every leader who is in authority over us. Because the decisions they make affect our everyday lives. Whether they are godly, ungodly, righteous, unrighteous, fair, unfair, strong, or week; we pray. We never look to them as our hope or savior, but we pray for them. Today, Pastor Ryan reminds us through scripture how God revealed himself to leaders, and to pray for them. Listening also plays an important role in prayer. Listening to what God has for us, how to live, where to go, what to do... God calls us to be slow to speak and quick to listen. How quick are you?

Part 8: Blessing in a Cursing Culture

July 14, 2024 • Matt Kladnik • James 3:1–12

Have you ever felt crushed by someone's words? Or maybe you've done the crushing. Perhaps someone has encouraged you on to greatness with their words? Pastor Matt continues our series on the Indivisible Church as he looks at the power of our words. And make no mistake, words really do have power. So who guides the things that you say? Is your speech from hurt and pain within your heart, or from the wellspring of life that is Jesus and the Holy Spirit?

Part 7: Gentleness in a Hostile Environment

July 7, 2024 • Ryan Oddo • James 3:13–18

How do people experience you when they don't agree with you? According to James' letter to the Early Church, it should be as a gentle servant, slow to speak and quick to listen. Is that you? It certainly is not the way of most people. Pastor Ryan takes us through what it means to live a life of Gentleness in a Hostile Environment as we learn to trust in God above being right or winning an argument and ultimate, become Indivisible.
