When Church Hurts: Invitation to Heal

Church should be a place of healing-but what is it's where you were hurt? Join us for "When Church Hurts," a series about finding hope, healing, and restoration when church wounds instead of welcomes.

When Church Hurts: When the Church Fights

Scripture:  John 10:11-13, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, John 17:20-23, Ephesians 4:1-6

Speaker:  Scott Meyer

Summary:  Scott's message emphasizes that unity in the church is essential for fulfilling God’s purpose and requires believers to live in harmony, love, and humility. He draws from Ephesians 4 to stress the importance of maintaining the unity of the Spirit through peace, acknowledging the one body and one Spirit that binds all believers. Unity is portrayed not as uniformity, but as a shared commitment to Christ and His mission, allowing for diversity within the body. From scripture he points to the warning that division and disunity hinder the church’s witness and effectiveness, and urges members to guard against pride, selfishness, and gossip. Ultimately, this message calls the church to reflect the unity of the Trinity and be a powerful testimony of God’s love to the world.

Chapter 31: Don't Be Afraid

Scott Meyer, Lead Minister, brings a message from Chapter 31 of The Story. The message begins by confronting the common fears and anxieties that grip people today—financial struggles, health worries, relationship pain—and reveals that underneath it all lies the fear of death. Drawing from Revelation, the sermon emphasizes that Jesus, who conquered death and now holds the keys to it, invites us to live without fear because He transforms whatever He passes through. John’s vision of Jesus in Revelation contrasts worldly power, like that of the Roman emperor, with the true authority of the Lamb who was slain and now reigns on the throne. The sermon celebrates Easter as the declaration that the tomb is empty, the Lamb reigns, and the story is far from over—it is the beginning of a new creation. Ultimately, the hope of Easter is that Jesus makes all things new, and no matter where we are in our personal story, He offers to rewrite it with grace, victory, and eternal life.
