Our culture is full of hard questions—about truth, identity, justice, and faith. In Deconstructing Together sermon series, we won’t avoid these questions. We’ll face them head-on, examining the assumptions behind them and gently dismantling ideas that don’t align with the gospel. Then, each week, we’ll look to God’s Word to rebuild a better, more beautiful vision shaped by the truth of Jesus. Whether you’re wrestling with doubts or walking with someone who is, this series invites us all to rethink, reframe, and rediscover the solid hope we have in Christ.
