Rev. Tom Hathaway - June 22, 2025
The Church Is Open-Source
What do an ancient letter from Paul and a modern internet encyclopedia have in common? More than you might think. In this sermon, we explore how Galatians 3:28 isn’t a flattening of identity, but a radical invitation into a new kind of community—one where status doesn’t define you, and everyone has something to contribute. If you've ever wondered what it really means to belong, to be part of something bigger, or to help build a church that looks like Jesus’ vision of love and justice—this one’s for you.
Scripture References: Galatians 3:26-29
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.
