    Jun 23 2025

    In this sermon, Pastor Jason confronts the cultural lie of "us vs. them" and emphasizes the radically inclusive nature of the gospel.

The message challenges listeners to examine their own biases, urging them to embrace those they may see as outsiders and to become active carriers of the gospel. Through the story of Cornelius and Peter, we're reminded that God's Spirit moves in unexpected ways, and often calls us to uncomfortable, transformative obedience. You are invited to tear down walls, prefer the face of the other, and boldly say, “Send me, Lord.”
