Sunday April 26, 2026 In a world that promotes judgment, division and isolation, Dan Kent looks at Paul's command to "bear with each other."

In this way, we reflect the love of the cross.  More Resources: https://whchurch.org/sermon/disarming-the-algorithm/ BOOKS: https://bit.ly/3KSJAnp YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@AuthorDanKent SURPRISING GOD PODCAST: https://spoti.fi/3LVxImd WEBSITE: https://thatdankent.com FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/393PwwD INSTAGRAM: https://bit.ly/3PikL8b  HAIKU: https://bit.ly/3yn0dFq

Sunday, March 22, 2026 Dan Kent draws our attention to the words "my people" in Revelation 18:4. When we enter relationship with the Father through Jesus, we are also entering into a collective which is traditionally called the Church. Dan identifies two obstacles to loving the church. The first is hypocrisy. The second obstacle to loving the church is diversity that results in division. Dan provides some ways to address these two obstacles in a direct way. However, there is more going on beneath the surface. Dan then guides us to think deeper about what is driving these obstacles.
