Discipleship and the Demands of Safety
Sunday, March 9 | 10-10:45am | Parlor
We live in a world that is often obsessed with safety. But the pursuit of safety puts demands on our lives—what we should eat, how we should raise our children, where we should look for guidance in the face of danger. In a world where safety has such an elevated status, the words of Christ echo loudly, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mk 8:34). This class will explore what it means biblically and practically to subject the demands of safety to the lordship of Christ as we seek to follow him. Learn more here!
Love and Justice: Reimagining Hope in a Divided World
Saturday, March 22 | 9-10:30am | Gathering Place
In a time of deep political polarization and social fragmentation, Dr. Theon E. Hill will offer a lecture inspired by the prophetic voice of James Baldwin to illuminate a path of hope, justice, and radical love. Baldwin’s profound writings challenge us to confront the deep-rooted injustices that divide our communities while holding fast to a vision of human dignity and divine reconciliation.
Rooted in Baldwin’s nuanced understanding of American identity, social struggle, and spiritual transformation, this presentation explores how Christian faith calls us to be agents of both love and justice—a calling that refuses to be trapped by ideological echo chambers or passive acceptance of systemic wrongs. Participants will be challenged to see justice not as a political weapon, but as a sacred expression of God’s heart for human wholeness and dignity. Drawing from Baldwin’s powerful insight that “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced,” Dr. Hill will offer a compelling vision of hope—a hope that is active, courageous, and deeply rooted in both love and the pursuit of justice. Specifically, the presentation will challenge listeners to move beyond surface-level reconciliation, calling instead for a robust, faith-driven approach to justice. Register here today!
