Episode 4 of Preaching from the Pavement, “When Politics Starts Discipling the Church,” invites us to examine our loyalties, return to Scripture, and keep Christ at the center of discipleship.

How do you keep Jesus at the center when political convictions run strong? Let’s have that conversation with honesty and grace.

Episode 3 of Preaching from the Pavement, “Truth and Grace,” looks at Jesus, who was full of both. Pastor Richard Brown explores what happens when we separate grace from truth, and why faithful discipleship calls us to examine ourselves as well as care for others.

What helps you hold conviction and compassion together in a difficult conversation?

A church can be located in a neighborhood without being present in people’s lives.

Episode 2 of Preaching from the Pavement, “When the Church Becomes a Spectator,” challenges us to move from awareness to obedience. We look at the Good Samaritan, small acts of faithfulness, healthy boundaries, and what it means to stay close enough to serve.

What is one way your church can show up for its neighbors this week?

What happened to us?

It is easy to name what is wrong around us. Are we willing to examine our own faithfulness?

Where does your faith need to show up in your neighborhood this week?

Faith isn't meant to be confined to the sanctuary. It belongs everywhere: in our neighborhoods, homes, hospitals, prisons, classrooms, and workplaces. It's for connecting with others in a broken world.
