Who We Are: Truth. Not Trends.

In a culture where feelings often outrank facts and relevance is mistaken for faithfulness, how do we stay grounded in what is true?In this message, we explore why truth must anchor the church and shape discipleship. Drawing from Hebrews 4, we see that God’s Word is not meant to harm us, but to heal us; like a scalpel that exposes what is deadly so restoration can begin.We address the dangers of untethered empathy, the influence of therapeutic and cultural trends on the modern church, and the quiet drift that often feels like compassion or relevance rather than rebellion. We’re reminded that trends are temporary, but God’s truth is timeless, and that when the church loses truth, it also loses its witness.Finally, we look at what can change and what must never change, and how living out Truth. Not Trends. shapes us as a church; not just in what we believe, but in how we live, love, and engage the world.This message challenges us to remain clear in conviction, deep in compassion, and anchored in the enduring truth of God’s Word.1.18.2026 - Message 2
