    “Help Has a Name” // Caleb Punt

    Sometimes when our souls are weary and we’re struggling to feel connected to God, God sends someone into our life who can speak the words we need to hear. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore the story of one biblical hero whose faith was revived through the timely companionship of a God-given friend. Along the way, we’ll consider how God may be speaking to us in similar ways through the friends in our life. Join us as we begin a new series, “Perfect Pairings.”  Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 19:19-21 NRSVue Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

    “Looking Back” // Daniel Childs

    Most of us live our lives at such a fast pace that we’re almost always looking ahead to the future, and we rarely slow down to reflect on the past. That’s a problem, because looking back is essential to growing in our relationship with God. So in today’s sermon, we’ll discover why looking back is so important for our faith, and we’ll explore several practical ways we can incorporate more prayerful retrospection into our busy lives.  Scripture Reading: Psalm 77:11-15 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now?

    “When Heaven Meets Earth” // Charlie Baber

    Sometimes God shows up in a powerful way that nobody saw coming. That’s what happened on the day of Pentecost. As a result, the church was launched into the world to share the inclusive love of Jesus, and the world was forever changed. In today’s sermon, we’ll explore the church’s origin story, why it matters, and what it means for our lives today.  Scripture Reading: Acts 2, selected verses Share: Know someone who needs this message right now?

    In today’s sermon, we’ll consider the urgent, vitally-important work God has called Kindred to do in our community.

    “Celebrating and Elevating Women” // Daniel Childs

    At Kindred, we fully include women in the life and leadership of our church. And while some of us may feel that that stance needs no explanation, others of us come from church backgrounds where the role of women was restricted. In fact, some of us have been personally harmed by a previous church’s restrictions on women. So in today’s sermon, we’ll look to the example of Jesus and his earliest followers, exploring several countercultural ways that Jesus empowered women in his ministry. And we’ll consider how we’re called to continue the work he started. Scripture Reading: Galatians 3:26-29 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!

    “The Inclusivity of God” // Minoka Yonts

    Sadly, the church in America has earned a reputation for being a pretty exclusive community. That’s because many churches have chosen to focus on judging and condemning people rather than embracing them. So it’s important to recognize that exclusive churches do not reflect what God is like! In today’s sermon, we’ll explore a powerful, biblical example of God’s radical commitment to inclusion and we’ll discover what it means for us.  Scripture Reading: Acts 11:1-17 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now?

    “Miracles” // Daniel Childs

    In today’s sermon, as we conclude our series on the relationship between Scripture and science, we’ll explore the topic of miracles. From the parting of the Red Sea to the resurrection of Jesus, the Bible is filled with lots of different miracle stories. But can we take those stories seriously while also taking science seriously? Is it possible to believe in miracles and trust science at the same time? Join us as we discover why the answer is: Yes!

    “Wonderfully Made” // Caleb Punt

    Science gives us extraordinary insights about our bodies, our minds, and our universe. And in today’s sermon, we’ll discover how those scientific insights can usher us into the worshipful practice of “wonder,” marveling at God’s handiwork and praising God for the beauty we find in creation. Join us as we continue our series, “Science and Scripture.”  Scripture Reading: Psalm 139:13-18 Share: Know someone who needs this message right now? Send them the link!
