Jesus is locked in! (Luke 14:25-33). As he turns toward Jerusalem, where he will be crucified, he is no longer interested in drawing crowds, but his interested in making disciples. To winnow out those not focused, he challenges his disciples to pick up their cross. Pastor Rob reflects on what it means to pick up our cross. This does not mean to die for the sins of the world like Jesus.Rather, carrying our cross means doing challenging things, even sacrificial things, for others. But with this command also comes the pitfall of thinking that every person's suffering and challenge is ours to redeem. It is not. Following Jesus also means entrusting others and situations to his cross, not ours.This is a hard thing to figure out - when to carry the burden and when to entrust it to God. For this reason, we must follow Jesus, because working through this decision involves time with Jesus, in prayer, holding to the promise that in the cross of Christ, there is finally redemption.

Forgiveness is a difficult thing. Many have been deeply wounded by the action of others in a life altering way and the idea of forgiveness can be crippling. Joseph gives us an Old Testament example of how to forgive when someone seeks it and is a foreshadow of the forgiveness we receive from Jesus.

In the second week of our sermon series, "Rhythms of a First-Love Church," we focused on the theme of Life-on-Life Discipleship. Life-on-Life Discipleship involves intentional relationships aimed at helping individuals grow into lifelong, obedient followers of Jesus, who in turn assist others in their spiritual journeys. The mission of the church is centered on discipleship, and we are all called to both be disciples and to make disciples. Pastor Rob discussed practical ways and essential truths about our hearts to effectively disciple the generations within our church.

This week, Pastor Rob continues our series on Progressive Christianity by asking: What do we do with the Bible in this space? Together, we explore traditional views of Scripture—its authority, clarity, and truthfulness—while also naming the ways those interpretations have too often been weaponized. Rob invites us to unlearn harmful readings and discover healthier ways to approach the Bible as a diverse, ancient witness to God's love. At the heart of it all is the simple truth: God is love, and the invitation of Jesus is to live that love out in tangible ways for our neighborsKindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada.

Pastor Rob McCoy delivered a heartfelt sermon from Romans 16, emphasizing the critical need for unity and vigilance in the church. Drawing from his recent experience at a pastors' summit, Rob shared a candid anecdote about a disruptive individual who monopolized time with confusing ideas, illustrating the dangers of division within the body of Christ. He unpacked Romans 16:17–20, urging the congregation to “mark” those who cause division and offenses, not to shun them hastily but to address issues with humility and biblical wisdom, as outlined in Matthew 18. Rob's message, rooted in Godspeak's anchored reading program, highlighted the church's unique strength in fostering unity amidst cultural challenges, including rising tensions over issues like Islam. He closed with a prayer for humility and peace, reinforcing the church's mission to serve with love and resolve conflicts biblically, ensuring a fellowship that stands firm against the enemy's schemes.Reference VersesEcclesiastes 11 verse 5, Romans 16 verses 1–27, Ezekiel 37, Matthew 18 verses 15–17, Ephesians 4 verses 3–6, Acts 20 verses 28–31, Titus 3 verses 8–11, Philippians 2 verses 3–8Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
