It has been said, never discuss religion or politics at dinner – if you do, it will ruin the dinner and there will be a fight. Well, guess what? It is time to ruin the dinner!
Join us in the next rotation of CORE during Mid-Week @ 434 for this timely study designed for adults. This is a brutally honest, hard-hitting, light-hearted, and without a doubt a thought-provoking 4-week Bible study where we dive into the wild world of elections and how faith can keep us grounded when the political circus rolls into town. We’ll cover everything from praying for candidates (even the ones you can’t stand) to trusting God when the results leave you scratching your head. Expect plenty of laughs, moments of self-reflection, and a whole lot of faith-building as we explore how our trust in God should always be stronger than our trust in polls! You will come away with a clear understanding of how important your vote is, how you vote in a way that honors Jesus, and how do you navigate the world of politics in a way that honors God!

In this episode of The Code we keep trying to crack the code of The Great Commandment. Just like breaking a code takes focus and effort, understanding what it means to love God with all our strength requires us to decode what that looks like in our everyday lives. This study gives us some tools to help make that happen. Get ready – in The Strength Cipher we continue to unravel the code.

Together we are trying to Crack the Code. We are making some life changing, soul flexing, jaw dropping discoveries about The Great Commandment. Using the words of Jesus, we once again jump in trying to discover some fresh way of seeing what our lives can be. Today we see that – Loving God with all your mind is like being a code breaker. You’re called to unlock His truths, reprogram your thoughts, and approach life’s puzzles with His wisdom. When you do, you’ll not only crack the code but live with purpose, clarity, and divine insight.

In this thought-provoking study, Jeff explores the intersection of faith and politics, challenging Christians to engage in important conversations about truth, morality, and governance. He discusses the importance of being “salt and light” in society, the concept of American exceptionalism rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, and the responsibility of believers to make informed voting decisions. The pastor encourages listeners to “ruin dinner” by having honest, sometimes difficult discussions about crucial issues facing the nation.

Welcome to another codebreaking celebration worship service. Together, we are working to unravel and solve the mystery of The Great Commandment. Why? That is a great question and we answered it in episode one of this series (It is on-line streaming, so you can go back and check it out) – we are simply not so great at the Great Commandment. And because of that, we are robbing ourselves and others of knowing the best version of ourselves, the version God created us to be. The second code focuses on the soul—unlocking the depth of our spiritual connection with God. Today we explore how to align our innermost self with God’s presence, and lock down who we really are in Him.
Make sure you grab our weekly study guide to go just a little deeper in the study and make sure you pick up this week’s code breaker page – solve the code, unlock the helpful hint to crack the code.
