Credo – Week 3 | For Us

When the people around us seem defined by power, comfort, money, or approval, it’s easy to treat others as means to an end — and to look to leaders, systems, or status as our saviors. This sermon tackles that exact tension: we live among competing “mediators” that promise security and identity, yet leave us small, anxious, and divided. It names how cultures prop up idols and why that makes everyday life and civic life fragile. The message presses a different claim: there’s one true mediator who gave himself for everyone, and that reality reshapes how we see friends, enemies, and leaders. Expect a clear, compassionate case for praying for all people, honoring authority without deifying it, and recognizing the dignity of the person you find most frustrating. Listen for the practical shift that helps you stop guarding your little god and start seeing the world the way this mediator sees it.
