What is a tabernacle Talk? 

A Tabernacle Talk is a space we've created for conversations about Christ and culture. We'll bring in guest speakers who are well-informed on different topics that will help to equip our church family to better engage our culture!

We'll record the different talks and make them available (along with supplemental resources) right here!

"How To Love Our Neighbor in an Upside-Down World"

September 9, 2021  |  Dr. Bill Brown

 

We live in a culture that grows more complicated and confusing by the day. We are called by Jesus to love our neighbor. While that sounds simple enough, how do we practically fulfill this command, especially if those around us see the world from vastly different points of view? How are we to be salt and light in this divisive time?

Questions for reflection:

 1. What are the biggest areas of fear that keep me from pursuing my neighbor?

2. Who comes to mind and what can I do next to learn how to better interact with them?

3. Are there any conversations from the past that I need to repair or revisit with a different posture?
