Descripción

In Acts 15, the early church faced its first major crisis: faithful believers deeply disagreed about what it meant to follow Jesus. Instead of dividing, they gathered, listened to testimony, searched the Scriptures, and discerned together until they could say, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.” In this message, Pastor Ryan explores how the Jerusalem Council teaches the church today how to navigate disagreement without losing unity. As we prepare for communion, we reflect on three questions about inviting others into discernment, staying at the table when we disagree, and pursuing God’s kingdom rather than personal validation.

The relationships in your life | Sunday Livestream | Jun 14, 2026

This week’s message explores what it means to steward our relationships as something entrusted to us by God. Using the story of Jonah, we see a man who resisted God not out of disbelief, but because he did not want to engage with people he found difficult or undeserving. The sermon challenges the assumption that we get to decide who we care about, confronts the ways we either “steal” relationships by handling them according to our own desires or “neglect” them by avoiding responsibility, and invites us into faithful stewardship—intentionally taking responsibility for our role in people’s lives under Christ’s lordship. The goal is to help the church reflect on whether they are acting as owners, victims, or stewards in their relationships, and to take one step toward engaging others with the compassion and purpose of God.
