Paul begins to shift his focus here in Galatians chapter 3. Since it's only by grace through faith in Jesus that we are saved, Paul wants to address this important question: How then does a Christian grow? Tonight we discover what it might look like to be motivated by the Spirit instead of returning to the burden of the law. This message is from our Wednesday night service on February 2nd, 20...

Peter and Paul find themselves in Antioch, an important city in the Galatian region, where they encounter the messy part of belief systems merging and growing. When Peter allows fear to drive him away from the Good News of his faith, what can we learn from the manner in which Paul corrects him? This message is from our Wednesday night service on January 26th, 2022. We gather for weekly services on...

Paul is alarmed and concerned about what’s going on in Galatia as the truth of the gospel was being twisted by a group of teachers that had infiltrated these Jersusalem churches. Chapter two of the book of Galatians begins with a meeting between Paul, these teachers, and the leaders of the Jerusalem church. In this passage, we discover why Paul fought so fiercely to protect the freedom we have in...

We begin our study of Galatians by taking a look at why Paul wrote this letter, who he wrote it to, and why. In an environment of contention, with ideas as great commerce, Paul enters into a debate between several groups: what is salvation – how do humans attain it, and why does it sometimes seem like nothing has changed in the world? Paul writes with authority and sternness, but also with joy and...

We are celebrating what God has done in the last year through Kindred Church and in Kindred Church. We are so thankful for each and every person that has called this place home this year, if even for a week. As we start year two of this dream, we look forward to God showing up in ways that surprise us and inspire us again and again. This message is from our Wednesday night service on December 29th...

Tonight we celebrate that Jesus became human. In doing so he became vulnerable to the darkness of this world, too. Jesus enters the world able to be wounded, subject to even death. He put himself in the thick of lives that are difficult and painful, and often, inexplicable. Out of that darkness, comes what we are told is the “true light that gives light to everyone.” This message is from our Chris...

In this study of Advent, the season of waiting on the birth of the Savior Jesus, we have looked at how God is working while we wait even when it seems like He isn’t & we have explored how this waiting has a purpose, that God is working all things together for the good of those that love him in its midst. Tonight, we will talk about how we don’t wait alone. Emmanuel, God With Us, is at our side...

Waiting can often feel like wasted time. The longer we wait, the more we wonder if that opportunity, the shot at a relationship, or what was meant for us passed us by, leaving us feeling panicky, resigned, or discouraged. Tonight, we explore the Christmas story as told in the gospel of Luke, and what it has to teach us about our waiting never being wasted. This message is from our Wednesday night...

Tonight, we begin a small study of the season of Advent. Advent comes from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival”. It’s signified by waiting, as the world waited for the arrival of Jesus who would rescue us. We’ll be taking a look at the Christmas story from four different vantage points as it appears in the four gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. Each vantage point has somethi...

We celebrate the end of our Genesis study tonight and the things God taught us over these 14 weeks. We’ll get to hear from some of you as we reflect on all we’re taking away from Genesis as a community. This message is from our Wednesday night service on November 17, 2021. 

We finish our trek through Genesis tonight with the resolution of the Joseph narrative as he confronts the very people who harmed him - his brothers. We will explore Joseph's resolve to lean into the good God had worked out of the evil his brothers intended for him in their sin. We also take notice of an unlikely hero in the story: Judah, who, like Joseph, models an important part of the Good...

Joseph’s story continues after being sold into slavery by his brothers, we find him now in Egypt. But first, a tale of his older brother Judah where we discover Joseph’s character foil. What does character look like in crisis? What does it look like day-to-day? God was with Joseph through every trial and Joseph gave his all to honor him even when things turned towards the worst. We will look at ho...

Tonight we continue our study of Genesis with the story of Joseph. We’ll explore how Jacob’s favoritism of his son Joseph causes intense jealousy amongst his brothers leading to suffering and destruction. Thankfully, we are given the antidote to the poison of jealousy: the peace that comes with knowing who You are in Christ. This message is from our Wednesday night service on October 27, 2021.

Jacob’s story continues this week with a mysterious encounter with God, marking him for life. We’ll explore what this passage communicates about God’s expectations of his people, the permission he gives us to struggle, and how his grace always leaves us different than he found us. This message is from our Wednesday night service on October 20th, 2021.

As we continue to move through the book of Genesis, tonight’s chapters are all about family…the dysfunction and deception and sibling rivalry of one particular family - Isaac’s family. It’s the the tale of twin brothers who were far from perfect as they struggled with expectation and comparison, and a story of God bringing hope and blessing to the world through a messy family fraught with betrayal...

Abraham and Sarah finally have a son after waiting their entire lives. Decisions from the past and present now come into focus as Abraham’s faith and resolve meet their ultimate test: does he love anything more than God? What was God up to, and what is the story of Abraham and Isaac supposed to teach us in our modern world as followers of Jesus? This message is from our Wednesday night service on...

Our Genesis study continues with the famous story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.  It's a cautionary tale about the consequences for a city that abused its power and responded to the outsider with cruelty and violence. It reveals a lot about the nature of God and what he desires for his people, pointing us to the ultimate hope and grace we have in Jesus.   This message is from our W...

Tonight’s message is all about waiting, and waiting is always the worst part. As we follow the lives of Abram and Sarai, we discover how waiting can lead to wreckage and the faithful response of God to his people in their desperation. This message is from our Wednesday night service on September 22nd, 2021.

As we follow Abram’s journey through Genesis 12 & 13, we start to we ask how does he keep on believing God as more and more time passes…as reality and doubt and his circumstances begin to settle in, how does he remember God? The question for us becomes, how do we remember God in the in between places and in seasons of waiting? This is from our Wednesday night service on September 15th, 2021. 

Abram is a great hero of the Bible for many reasons and it all started with his decision to pursue God's call on his life. He, in faith, trusted God and changed the destiny of every generation to follow him. Tonight, we talk about this kind of trust in our own contexts and ask what it might look like to be willing to do literally anything to follow the call God places on our own lives. This m...

The tower of Babel is an epic tale of rebellion, pride, and fame. Our desire for recognition and significance apart from God is dangerous and it will lead to our demise every single time. Tonight, we explore this idea that  the way up is down and out . This message is from our Wednesday night service on September 1st, 2021. 

Following Adam and Eve's choice and the fall of human beings from God’s grace, the world descends into complete peril. Fast forward about 1,600 years, and we see God remains the wage of sin truly is death. He identifies a man, Noah, as his last hope for the human race and floods the world to wipe out life. What are we to learn from this thousands of years later as we inhabit the world God cre...

This message is from our Wednesday night service on August 18th, 2021. Adam and Eve are flourishing in the Garden of Eden, a perfect place where they are in constant contact with God. Tonight we look at what happens when human nature and sin enter the picture of God’s creation and what it means for the entire Biblical story that leads to Jesus and his work on our behalf.

This message is from our Wednesday service on August 11, 2021. We kick off a new study beginning in the book of Genesis tonight! The creation story captured in Genesis 1 & 2 is rich with meaning and has much to say about the kind of God we have and his dream for the world. The God of the Bible is involved in his creation and involves us in his plans to move the creation project forward. 

In anticipation of our baptism celebration at the Broomfield Bay on August 7th, tonight we are looking at what baptism is. Why get baptized? We are highlighting three reasons to get baptized from Scripture, but we know that the power of each of our individual stories is that there are so many reasons to get baptized! We hope you leave with a renewed sense of why you got baptized or perhaps even th...
