We all carry names — our own, our family’s, even our reputations. But what happens when God gives us his name to carry? Join us as we explore one of the most misunderstood of the Ten Commandments and discover why this word is more relevant than ever.

We often crop God down to size — making him safer, smaller, more manageable. It’s easy to edit out the parts that feel uncomfortable, just like we edit a photo. But the result is always less than the real thing. This talk shows how to leave those lesser versions behind and encounter the God who is bigger, more beautiful, and more powerful than we imagined.

Paul paints a picture of what life together in the church is meant to look like, full of genuine love that embodies the heart and actions of Jesus’ covenant love. He calls us to serve each other with joy and perseverance, not out of duty but as worship to Jesus. We learn to celebrate each other’s joys, carry one another’s burdens, and even respond with kindness when it’s hard. This is the kind of community the gospel ought to create, one of radical love

What if God wants to bring more people into his family than you’ve ever imagined? What if he’s asking you to actually make room in your life—for faith to grow deeper, for joy to overflow, and for others to be welcomed in? Join us as we step into a new season with courage and discover what it means to stretch wider and dig deeper with God’s help.

We are pausing the Discussion Guide for the summer from June 29 - August 31, 2025. The Discussion Guide will resume for Sunday, September 15th.

And now, he invites us to trust him, not just with our minds, but with our lives. Faith is about more than mental ascent—it’s about surrender, and the transformed life that follows.
