“The Purpose of Lament” // Caleb Punt
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
The good news of Jesus is certainly a source of abundant joy. But in our desire to emphasize the joy of our faith, we Christians sometimes neglect the important role of lament in our relationship with God. The result is a kind of “toxic positivity,” where real suffering is unintentionally minimized and inauthenticity is inadvertently encouraged. So in today’s sermon, we’ll consider the vital practice of honest lament, how lament is modeled for us in Scripture, and how we can embrace lament for our spiritual health. Join us as we conclude a summer series full of cinematic references called, “Now Playing.”

“Wonderfully Made” // Jamison Doehring
Sunday Jul 21, 2024
Sunday Jul 21, 2024
It's easy to fixate on the things about ourselves that we don't like, or that we wish were different, or that make us feel insecure. But those fixations can blind us to a powerful and important truth: God created each of us--not to be someone else, but to be ourselves, in all of our unique and God-given particularity. In today's sermon, we'll explore the divine gift of our particularity. And we'll learn how growing closer to God allows us to discover and become our true selves. Join us as we continue a summer series full of cinematic references called, “Now Playing.”

“Belonging to God” // Tobi Nguyen
Sunday Jul 14, 2024
Sunday Jul 14, 2024
At Kindred, we believe that faith, like life, is a journey. And throughout our journey of life, our faith may ebb and flow, decrease and increase, contract and expand. And yet, while our faith may be ever-changing, one truth remains constant. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore the gift of Baptism and we’ll consider the unchanging truth that, no matter what, we belong to God. Join us as we begin a summer series full of cinematic references called, “Now Playing.”

“When You Need to Change” // Daniel Childs
Sunday Jun 23, 2024
Sunday Jun 23, 2024
None of us like being told that we need to change. And God knows we don’t like it. But God tells us anyway. In today’s sermon, we’ll discover why an unconditionally-loving God would confront us with a call to change, and then we’ll see how God helps us make the changes we need to make. Join us as we continue our series, ‘Unbridled.’

Sunday Jun 09, 2024
Sunday Jun 09, 2024
We all have fears because fear is an unavoidable part of life. But if left unchecked, our fears can become deeply destructive. In more ways than we usually recognize, our fear has the power to shape our thoughts, dictate our actions, and hold us back from the life we were created for. So in today’s sermon, we’ll learn how God helps us to find confidence and freedom in the face of our fears. Join us as we continue our series, “Unbridled.”

“Diamonds in the Rough” // Caleb Punt
Sunday May 26, 2024
Sunday May 26, 2024
Sometimes Scripture presents us with passages that are challenging, unsettling, or even downright offensive. But while it can be tempting for us to simply ignore or avoid those kinds of passages, a closer look can often yield beautiful and important insights about the heart of God. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore one such passage in which a message about God’s judgment offers an extraordinary glimpse of the depth of God’s love.

“Inviting Matters” // Daniel Childs
Sunday May 19, 2024
Sunday May 19, 2024
At Kindred, we’re proud to be an inclusive church. But if we’re not careful, the way we do inclusivity can start to fall short of the way Jesus does inclusivity. So in today’s sermon, we’ll explore one particular way Jesus is inclusive and we’ll consider how we can follow his example. Because people around us don’t just need us to be inclusive, they need us to be inclusive like Jesus.
