Sunday Morning Worship

In this bold and heartfelt sermon, Rev. Tom takes us back to page one of the Bible—Genesis 1—to confront how this ancient text is being used in today’s culture wars. With clarity, humor, and deep theological insight, he challenges weaponized readings of “male and female he created them” and instead lifts up the breathtaking truth that every human being—regardless of gender identity or expression—bears the image of God. This isn’t just a theological point. It’s a moral imperative. Because lives are on the line.

Scripture References: Genesis 1:26-31

From Series: "Wonderfully Made"

This Pride Month, we’re diving into a sermon series that celebrates the full beauty and complexity of how we’re made. Wonderfully Made is a declaration against shame, silence, and exclusion—a bold reclaiming of the truth that every body and every identity bears God’s image. Whether you’ve been embraced by faith or wounded by it, this series is for you. Together, we’ll explore scripture’s deep affirmation of queer lives, challenge the Church’s complicity in harm, and name the sacred worth that’s already in you. Because you’re not just welcome here—you’re a reflection of divine creativity.
