When tragedy and scandal shake us, what does Jesus say about His Church?

At the beginning of this message, Pastor Bryan began with seven biblical reminders in response to this week’s events and the assassination of Charlie Kirk (and other episodes of political violence). We covered seven important reminders for Christians in the wake.

Seven reminders:
1. Ready your soul. Hug your people.
2. Violence is never the answer.
3. Our core problem is lostness, not party lines.
4. Any movement that forgets the fear of the Lord drifts toward folly.
5. Words matter. The tongue can burn or bless.
6. God gives government a sword to pursue justice.
7. Speak freely, but speak Christianly.

After this, we moved back into our sermon series and addressed why church scandals are no reason to give up on what Jesus is doing through His church.

Matthew 16:13–18 — four anchors:
• A rock solid confession: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
• A sovereign Savior: “I will build my Church.”
• Bigger than any scandal: Jesus carries His people through failure.
• Certain victory: “The gates of Hades will not prevail.”
