Paul Karsten - October 8, 2023
Stand Firm
Since the advent of the Church, there have been people who have tried to spread false teachings about what it means to be the people of God. Paul considered these hollow and deceptive. He warned Christians to be careful what they believed to be true. Stand firm on the simple truths of the Gospel.

From Series: "Collide"
Since the beginning, the Christian faith has been on a collision course with the culture that it exists within. The values of the world do not align with the values of the Faith. The priorities of the world do not align with the priorities of the Faith. Therefore, we ought not be surprised when we experience conflict and tensions, but instead, we should see them as confirmation that we are doing the right thing. Stay true and live bold. God calls us to live out our faith in the culture around us.
