Pack Light: Family of Origin

In our journeys into freedom, God leads us to discover our true selves, fight for justice, and dream of a better world. So what do we do when our family of origin doesn't want to come with us - or worse, when they try to keep us in captivity and oppression?

 

Join us for a special sermon from Pastor Cameron Malakai, including an open letter to the family he must leave behind as he embraces the freedom of the Gospel.

Pack Light: Unpacking Our Idols

False idols erase our history and obscure the love of God which sustains us. How can we unpack our idols so that they don't steal the future God has promised us?

Pack Light: Unpacking Empire

Empire and other violent systems of domination are sneaky - they end up as stowaways in our baggage (and even our bodies!). We need to intentionally unpack empire and break the generational systems of violence as we we move into true freedom.

Pack Light: Leaving (and Grieving) the Plagues

Even as we move into freedom, we still have to contend with the pain of the past. Come learn how to move through your emotions so you don't end up dragging with you a suitcase full of the locusts, frogs, and other plagues you've survived.

 

This season, the story of the Exodus has a lot to teach us about leaving behind what doesn't serve us as we prepare for what God has in store. Come prepare for the journey of 2021 by packing light - and by leaving behind the baggage of the past.
