Guest Pastor Léonce champions the radical truth of the Incarnation, proclaiming God's infinite, unconditional value for all people, especially those overlooked and marginalized by society, contrasting this divine priority with the Bay Area's obsession with status and worldly hierarchy. He uses the narrative of the low-status shepherds receiving the Christmas news first to call listeners to dismantle societal hierarchies, choose God's "upside-down kingdom," and live as witnesses who actively prioritize and include the outsider.

This sermon uses the early church's conflict in Acts 6 to highlight four commitments for a flourishing church: celebrating growth, caring for the vulnerable, prioritizing the ministry of the Word, and cultivating a "priesthood of all believers." By addressing internal conflict through delegation and maintaining a focus on these principles, the church ensures the continued increase of God's Word and the multiplication of disciples.

In light of current events surrounding George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, Pastor Ryan Kwon was invited into the home of Pastor Léonce Crump from Renovation Church in Atlanta, GA to discuss the events that have led up to this season of protests and unrest, and what are some steps that the Church can take towards racial reconciliation.

This sermon redefines biblical hospitality as a radical, non-reciprocal act of welcoming the marginalized and strangers, motivated by the costly grace and hospitality Jesus extended to us. It challenges believers to move beyond social circles and offer true, life-giving refreshment to other Christians, non-believers, and the needy, mirroring Christ's own self-sacrificial love that brought us into God's family.

This sermon explores how the prophet Amos condemns exploitation and the absence of shalom, which is brokenness and injustice caused by human sin. It presents Jesus Christ as the ultimate restorer of shalom, who absorbs God's righteous wrath for our brokenness on the cross, enabling believers to become agents of peace and reconciliation in the world.
