Soul City Church - Chicago, IL Soul City Church

This week, we are challenged with the reality that Biblical hope goes beyond a feeling. Biblical hope means trusting in God’s character, and choosing hope despite our circumstances.

Soul City Celebrates its 13th Anniversary with a HUGE announcement and message on "Greater Things" from founding pastors Jeanne and Jarrett Stevens.

People love to live in duality. In this or that. In or Out. Us or Them. But what if the greatest way for us to love this world is to learn to love those who don’t believe what we believe? While there are distinct differences with people of other faiths…there is significantly more that we share. And when we learn to be for those who believe differently, we can begin to be about something greater in this world.

Round table discussion with guests:
Eboo Patel, Founder & President of Interfaith America
Rabbi Reni Dickman, Executive VP of Chicago Board of Rabbis
Father Peter Wojcik, Pastor of Saint Clement Church

As hard as it can be to love other Christians…that’s actually the easy part! The real work is to love those who we don’t like or don’t like us. So…how do you bless those you want to put on blast? How can you be for those who aren’t for you? How do you care for those who could care less about you? That is the REAL test of God’s love at work in our lives.

Sometimes the hardest people to love…are your own people. And yet Jesus said that the way the world will know that “Christians” belong to Him…is by how we love other “Christians”. If we cannot love each other…how can possibly ever love this world?!?
