Sometimes life smacks us with an unexpected challenge that leaves us reeling. In those moments, it’s natural to panic and we often do. But Jesus shows us that if we resist the urge to freak out, we’ll often discover that our unexpected challenges are full of divine opportunity. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore how that dynamic is playing out in real time at Kindred Church and what all of this means for each of us.

In our culture, we have a strong sense of personal possession, especially when it comes to our money. We like to think that our money belongs to us because we applied ourselves, worked hard, and earned it. And that may be true. But according to Scripture, that’s not the whole truth. In today’s sermon, we’ll see that Jesus challenges us with a counter-cultural perspective about Who our money really belongs to. And we’ll explore the life-giving difference that perspective makes for our earning, our spending, and our hearts. Join us as we continue our series, “Jesus on Money.”

As Christians, we strive to put our ultimate trust in God, who is our creator, provider, and redeemer. And yet, when push comes to shove, we often wind up putting our trust in money to provide us with the peace, affirmation, and fulfillment our hearts crave. That’s why Jesus warns us that money has a sneaky way of taking God’s place in our hearts. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore why putting too much trust in money is harmful to us and how we can guard ourselves against the false promises of more money. Join us as we continue our series, “Jesus on Money.”

Money can be an uncomfortable subject. It’s understandable. Money affects our decisions, relationships, emotions, and sometimes even our self-esteem…often in ways that stress us out. Research suggests that the mere thought of our personal finances causes most of us to experience some degree of anxiety. So no wonder we don’t love talking about money in church. And yet, even though Jesus knows it makes us uncomfortable, he talks about money a lot. Like, a whole lot. So in today’s sermon, we’re simply asking: Why did Jesus talk about money so much? The answer may surprise you. Bring your discomfort and join us as we kick off our new series creatively titled, “Jesus on Money.”

Feeling busy? The majority of Americans are right there with you. And in our effort to get it all done, we’re often looking for ways to save time. But while our focus on efficiency can be helpful, there are some areas of life where being efficient is a bad idea. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore a powerful lesson from Jesus about one such area and we’ll learn how Jesus teaches us to invest our time. Join us as we conclude our series, “I’m In.”

Most of us don’t consider ourselves to be particularly influential. After all, we’re not powerful political leaders, or celebrities with international platforms, or social media personalities with millions of followers. And yet the surprising truth is, every single day, we have more influence over the people around us than we can possibly imagine. In today’s sermon, we’ll see that our extraordinary influence is actually part of our God-given identity, and we’ll learn how God wants us to use it. Join us as we continue our series, “I’m In.”

We often think of church as a place we go: If we want to sing, or pray, or hear a sermon, or see our church friends, then we ‘go to church.’ And that’s true. But according to Jesus, church is not just a place we go…it’s who we are. In today’s sermon, we’ll see that Jesus has designed the church to function as a team on a mission, and YOU have a unique, God-given, invaluable role to play. If you’ve ever thought that your presence and participation at church don’t really matter, think again! Join us as we continue our series, “I’m In.”

Some of the worst feelings in life are being unwanted, rejected, or uninvited. And yet, in different ways, almost all of us have been there. And many of us have even been made to feel unwanted in a particular church, which is especially painful. So in today’s sermon, we’ll look at the story of a biblical woman who endured the exact same experience and we’ll watch how powerfully Jesus responds…to her and to each of us. If you’ve ever doubted your worth or your place in God’s family, this message is for you. Join us as we kick off our new series, “I’m In.”

As you may have discovered, there’s some strange stuff in the Bible. It can sometimes be difficult to make sense of biblical stories that seem bizarre, confusing, or just messed up. So in today’s sermon, we’ll explore one of the strangest stories in the Bible and wrestle with questions like: How might God be speaking to us through a story like this? Why might this kind of story be important for people like us? Can we really hear God’s voice in all parts of Scripture? Join us as we dig into the rich layers of meaning within the Bible.
