Sunday, October 4, 2026 We’re Not Wrong , We’re Not Right Scripture: Luke 15: 1-25 Pastor Brad Whitaker Have you ever been so sure you were right that you forgot to ask what Jesus would want you to do? In this message, Pastor Brad Whitaker takes us into the tension of disagreement, conviction, and relationships—and challenges us to consider whether winning an argument is really the same thing as faithfully following Jesus. Sometimes the most Christlike response isn't about proving we're right or admitting we're wrong, but about choosing humility, grace, unity, and love. Listen now and consider how Jesus calls us to respond when we find ourselves on opposite sides of an issue. You may discover that following Christ means caring less about winning the argument and more about reflecting His character.

Sunday, August 23, 2026 Invitation to the Table Winning the Food Fight Scripture: Luke 7:34, Romans 12:13 and Revelation 3:20 What if the people we eat with can shape the conversations we have, the relationships we build, and the opportunities we have to share Jesus?
