    When Mercy Gets Messy | Alex Gallien | "Red Letter Summer Pt. 10

    What does forgiveness really look like when the hurt is deep, the consequences are real, and reconciliation isn’t always possible? In this message, “When Mercy Gets Messy,” we continue through Jesus’ teachings in the Red Letter Summer series by looking at His powerful words in Matthew 18:21–35. Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Jesus challenges us to recognize that the mercy we have received from God is meant to flow through us to others. Forgiveness isn’t always easy or immediate. Sometimes it’s a long, painful process that requires us to repeatedly choose freedom over bitterness. But Jesus shows us that unresolved bitterness can become a self-inflicted prison—and that lasting freedom is found not only in receiving forgiveness, but also in extending it. This message also explores what forgiveness does not mean. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean forgetting what happened, removing consequences, or automatically restoring a relationship. Mercy and justice can coexist, and forgiveness doesn’t require reconciliation in every situation. Ultimately, we forgive because we have been forgiven. The cross of Jesus is the greatest picture of radical, undeserved mercy, and as we remember what Christ has forgiven us, we are empowered to extend that same mercy to others. Whether you’re carrying anger toward someone who hurt you, struggling to forgive yourself, or simply trying to understand what biblical forgiveness looks like, this message is an invitation to begin the journey toward freedom. “Father, forgive them. Father, I forgive them. In the same way You forgive me.” #WhenMercyGetsMessy #Forgiveness #Mercy #Jesus #RedLetterSummer #Matthew18 #TheBible #ChristianSermon #ChurchSermon #Faith #JesusChrist #GodsGrace #Grace #Healing #Freedom #BiblicalForgiveness #Christianity #Sermon #Church #FaithJourney

    Mercy People | Alex Gallien | "Red Letter Summer" Part 9

    What does it look like to become people who are truly full of mercy? In this message from Week 9 of our RLS series, we continue looking at the words and teachings of Jesus through the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. While the younger brother’s return home beautifully displays the Father’s mercy, Jesus also draws our attention to the older brother someone who struggled to celebrate the mercy being shown to someone he believed didn’t deserve it. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we willing to extend the same mercy we have received from God? What happens when we harbor grudges, keep score of other people’s failures, or allow our own sense of righteousness to become more important than compassion? Jesus calls His people to something deeper: we should be scandalously full of mercy. Not simply toward people who have earned it, apologized, or made everything right, but reflecting the kind of mercy God has shown us. And as a special celebration at the end of our gathering, we witnessed something beautiful: Jeff and Lynn were married! After years of walking with God, growing in their faith, and experiencing His transforming mercy, they chose to enter into a covenant marriage surrounded by the people who have walked alongside them. Their wedding served as a powerful picture of the very truths we had been talking about God's transforming grace, covenant faithfulness, sacrificial love, forgiveness, and the way our lives can become a reflection of God's character. As we follow Jesus, the question isn't only “Have I received God's mercy?” but also “Am I becoming a merciful person?” Scripture: Luke 15:22–32; Matthew 6:14–15; Matthew 23:25–28; Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:25 #MercyPeople #RLS #Jesus #JesusChrist #Mercy #Grace #Forgiveness #ChristianSermon #Sermon #Church #Bible #BiblicalTeaching #Luke15 #ProdigalSon #GodsMercy #FollowingJesus #Christianity #Faith #GraceAndMercy #ChristianWedding #ChristianMarriage #CovenantMarriage #SacrificialLove

    The Crucified King | Alex Gallien | "Apostles' Creed" Part 4

    In Week 4 of our Apostles’ Creed series, we step into one of the most sobering and central truths of the Christian faith: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.” From Palm Sunday to the cross, we walk through the final week of Jesus’ life where the crowds that once shouted “Hosanna” turned into voices calling for His death. But what looked like defeat was actually Jesus doing what no earthly king ever could: defeating sin, Satan, and death itself. And speaking of death, why did Jesus’ death have to be so brutal? Why couldn’t God just forgive sin without the cross? In this message, we unpack the weight of sin, the justice of God, and the beauty of the Gospel -- that Jesus became the perfect sacrifice in our place. Every lash, every nail, every moment of suffering wasn’t random… it was purposeful. He didn’t just die a death... He died your death so you could receive His life. This is the story at the center of everything: The Crucified King. Join us every Sunday at 8:00am, 9:45am, and 11:30am on 14800 Highland Drive in McKenzie.
