Toxic Waste - Trinity UMC (21622)

Toxic Religion

November 26, 2023 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • Galatians 6:1–10

Go on YouTube and you’ll find no shortage of pastors who seemingly proclaim a very different type of faith or religion than you grew up with. And sometimes their behaviors raise a few eyebrows for those of us who are more stayed in our faith. When does religion become toxic or perverted? We’ll seek to identify toxic religion and how we can best live out a Gospel of truth.

Toxic Families

November 19, 2023 • Rev. Melissa Madara • Genesis 27:41–45

As we approach Thanksgiving and the holiday season, many of us will find ourselves eating around the table with people with whom we may have a…well…complicated relationship. The Bible is no stranger to complicated people with complicated family dynamics. As we look at the messy story of Jacob and his family, we’ll explore ways to engage with our most challenging loved ones with grace and compassion.

Toxic Thoughts

November 13, 2023 • Pastor Rob Kazinski • 2 Corinthians 10:3–5

How often do you have thoughts you wish you didn’t have? Maybe they’re born of hatred, discrimination, envy, or lust. These toxic thoughts have the power to lead us into areas we wish we didn’t go. We’ll look at some of the wisdom from our scripture as to how to guard our thoughts and live in a more Christ-like way.
