“Are We Called to Be Political?” // Daniel Childs

In case you haven’t heard, there’s an election coming up. Some of us are super passionate about it…and others of us are super not. Some of us feel deeply invested…others of us just feel cynical. But as followers of Jesus, it’s important to ask the question, What does our faith have to say about all of this? Is political engagement part of our calling? Whether you love politics, hate politics, or anything in between, join us for today’s sermon as we start a new series exploring what our faith can teach us in this election season.

“Out of Control” // Jamison Doehring

Is there anything we want more than control? We think that if we could just get things under control, all our problems would be solved and we would finally be satisfied with our lives. But what if the control we long for isn’t even possible? What if it’s actually a good thing that so much of our life is out of our control? What if we can get what our heart most deeply desires without being in control? That’s what we’ll explore in today’s sermon. Join us as we wrap up our series, “Counterfeit Gods.”

“Bad Sex” // Daniel Childs

Our culture teaches us that sex has the power to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. But while sex can be good (!), it cannot ultimately give us what our hearts most deeply crave. And when we put too much hope in sex, we find constant disappointment and we leave a trail of destruction in our wake. So in today’s sermon, we’ll talk about why sex is good, when sex becomes bad, and how to do sexuality the way God intended.

“Child, You Are Fully Invited” // Asya Coles

Jesus tells us that in order to discover his Kingdom, we must humble ourselves like little children. So what does it mean for us to have “child-like faith”? And how can we develop a “child-like” faith that doesn’t become a “child-ish” faith? These are some of the questions we’ll consider in today’s sermon.

“What Needs to Stop?” // Daniel Childs

Despite our best intentions, we often struggle to implement lasting changes in our lives. Whether we want to get more organized, exercise more, or spend more time on things we enjoy, our attempts to change have a frustrating tendency to fall short. The same is sometimes true in our relationship with God: we want to pray more, worship more, trust more, or learn more. And yet, we struggle to follow through on those changes we want to make. So in today’s sermon, we’ll explore one big reason that implementing change is so hard for us, and we’ll learn a simple-but-powerful solution. Join us as we continue our series, “Reset.”

“Starting Over” // Daniel Childs

August tends to be a month full of transitions and new beginnings. Even as we savor the dwindling days of summer, we also start preparing for fall. Because, for most of us–in one way or another, fall brings new schedules, new routines, new challenges, and new opportunities. So this month at Kindred, we’ll consider what our Christian faith can teach us about “new beginnings” in life (spoiler alert: it can teach us a lot!), and we’ll explore some practical ways to lean on our faith as we move from one season into the next. Join us as we kick off our new series, “Reset.”
