Sermon by Brandon Clements on January 5, 2025.“Known and loved.” That's a powerful phrase. At some level, all of us are looking for places in life where we feel known and loved. Some of us have that, and some of us don't. Others of us are looking for that in family, romance, friendships, or any number of things - and have felt hurt or betrayed in the process. And yet, the beauty of Scripture says this is what Jesus offers us when we follow Him.For this series, we'll spend three weeks looking at how Scripture calls us to be known and loved by God, known and loved by each other, and making Jesus' love known to our neighbors.

Sermon by Brandon Clements on October 20, 2024.This week, we look at some of the most foundational concepts in the Old Testament meant to help us understand the weight of our sin.
