01/20/25 • 34 min

We are designed for connection—with God and with others. Yet, our sinfulness often disrupts the loving community we were created to enjoy. Thankfully, God calls us back into that community through the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus.

In this message, Pastor Derrick explores Genesis 1 and 2, reminding us that we were never meant to navigate life alone. He identifies seven common barriers that hinder our relationships with others:

Pride

Selfishness

Unforgiveness

Fear & Insecurity

Sinful Nature & Fleshly Desires

Prejudice & Judgment

Lack of Love

Which of these challenges resonate most with you? How can you invite God to heal and transform those areas in your life?

Image Bearers: Created to Reflect Light

"As children of God, we are reflecting something to the world... is it the light of Jesus? What kind of light are you reflecting?"

Pastor Derrick preached a powerful message from John 1:1-8 and encouraged us to reflect on what it means to live as image-bearers of Christ, strategically placed in our homes, workplaces, and communities to reflect His light.

We were reminded that “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Let’s continue to reflect Christ’s light wherever we go!
