With election season upon us, emotions are high – excitement, anxiety, and even a desire to just have it all behind us. But what does our faith teach us about relating to authority? Romans 13 offers guidance on the role of government in our lives, reminding us of God’s sovereignty over all authority. In this message, we’ll explore:

- The challenging call to submit to governing authorities - Jesus' example of humble submission to God, family, and ultimately, death itself - Historical perspectives on God's people and government: from Pharaoh’s Egypt to Rome - Practical models of engagement, from prophetic resistance to faithful presence

Join us as we uncover what it means to respect, honor, and trust in God's plan, even in uncertain political times. And, most importantly, discover how to center your faith amidst the noise of today’s world.

In this episode of Life in Motion, Pastor Kyle and Phil dive into the themes of trust, transformation, and learning to "embrace the awkward." From humorous insights into Halloween costumes to meaningful reflections on overcoming life’s challenges, they explore what it means to navigate faith with authenticity. Join them for a candid conversation about facing trials, finding purpose, and trusting God, even when expectations aren’t met.

In this powerful message, we explore Romans 8:1-14 and the incredible truth that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Through Paul's words, we uncover the difference between conviction and condemnation and how the Spirit of God empowers us to live free from the burdens of sin and self-judgment.

We'll dive into: - The contrast between conviction and condemnation – what it means to be guided by the Spirit versus being weighed down by guilt. - Adoption into God’s family – our identity as God’s children, calling out "Abba, Father." - Life and peace through the Spirit – how the Spirit transforms our hearts and minds.

Join us as we learn how Paul’s message to a divided church can inspire us today to live in unity and purpose under the Spirit’s guidance. Perfect for small group discussion, especially as we explore what it means to be "governed by the Spirit" and freed from the realm of the flesh.

Let's celebrate the life and freedom found in Christ, who lifts us beyond the limitations of the law and sets us free to live with joy, purpose, and peace!
