God's Acre On the Go: Plaid Prophets

Sunday Feb 09, 2025
What does it mean to be a prophetic witness in a divided world? In this episode, we explore the calling of the prophet Jeremiah and how his ministry speaks to us today. Jeremiah’s words in Jeremiah 1:4-19 were both challenging and hopeful, reminding God’s people of both impending consequences and future restoration.
But prophecy isn’t just an individual calling—it’s a communal one. How does our church, a gathering of people with vastly different backgrounds, perspectives, and politics, serve as a living testimony to God's desire for unity? Can we be a prophetic community not by erasing differences, but by weaving them together in love?
We’ll reflect on what it means to be a “Plaid Church”—distinct threads of red and blue, woven together to create something stronger, warmer, and more beautiful. In a world eager to pull people apart, could choosing to stay together in love and commitment be the most prophetic act of all?
Join us as we consider how our faith calls us to resist division, embrace one another, and be the kind of church—and nation—that bears witness to God's unifying love.
