What is Truth?

The sermon this last week addressed what Gen Z means as they talk about truth and the inevitable conflict there is when each person has their own truth.

We can take steps to be heard-

We walk with them into Scripture. We help them learn context. We explore their questions together. We listen before we speak. We witness.

The closing statement included:  ...trust is earned through humility, patience, and authentic presence. And truth is best received when it is lived, not just

Good news for Gen Z

This month sermons will equip us to share the Jesus story in the context our Gen Z children and grandchildren live in.

Gen Z — born between 1997 and 2012 — is the first generation raised in a culturally post‑Christian United States. They’ve always had technology in their lives. They’ve seen terrible things through constant global news access, and some of the worst things have been done by church leaders.

Even before COVID‑19, Gen Z faced a growing mental‑health crisis linked

Christmas Giving

America's big spending weekend is here and many people are thinking of the gifts they need for various Christmas/holiday celebrations in December.
