"Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 NKJV Whether it's with a friend, a neighbor, a family member, a coworker, etc., it can be difficult as Christians to navigate how to resolve conflict in a godly manner. Chad takes us into our new series "At Odds", to see what the Bible says on conflict and what unresolved conflict can do to our lives if left unsettled. It can tear us apart and prevent us from living a life that God intended for us. It's time for us to rethink conflict! https://www.bible.com/events/49346767 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

When life feels chaotic, remember: God is in control. From the smallest moments to the biggest struggles, He is sovereign. We may not have control, but we can trust that He does. When things don’t go as planned, instead of clinging to frustration or things of this world, turn to Him in faith. Everything we face—good or bad—is being worked out for our good. Rest in the assurance that Jesus is alive and there’s hope to come.

Elections are just around the corner and it can be difficult as Christians in a very polarized society to discuss politics with others. How do we engage in politics in a Godly way? Jon takes us into the book of Mark to see Jesus' reaction when He was challenged by the Pharisees and the Herodians, in order to answer that question!

Gospel-driven living starts with recognizing our sin and embracing the mercy of Jesus. It calls for being good citizens, avoiding unnecessary arguments, rejecting division, and committing to good works that reflect true faith. Do you have spiritual sight in your life? If so, are you using it to be a blessing and represent Jesus to the world? This week we challenge you to reflect on these things, and surrender whatever you may need to God.

Pastor Chad spoke on how grace is the driving force in our lives—it’s what we need every single day. It teaches us to reject what doesn’t align with God’s truth and reminds us that we’re never alone in our journey. Jesus saves us to reveal our identity and purpose. How has grace shaped your story?

“Only what is done for Christ will last.” –C.T. Studd Last night we got to hear so many stories of lives changed by Jesus, and the importance of missions and spreading the Gospel. This week we challenge you to live on mission, whether that’s in your workplace, school, your neighborhood, or taking a next step to go overseas! If you are interested in going on a mission trip, meeting with a mobilizer, or signing up for a multiply group, visit the link in our bio, then click “Live Sent - Missions.” “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 Missed last night’s message?

Last night, we got to hear from Chelsea Glover, who spoke on the ingredients of a woman of God. Titus 2:3-5 shows us that a woman of God embodies strength and grace, curbing her passions while nurturing deep love for her husband, children, and others. With discernment and self-control, she remains pure and set apart, guarding her home and being a blessing to those around her. In her obedience, she honors her husband. She reflects a beautiful life of faith and purpose in what God has called her to.

Being a man of God means embodying integrity, reverence, and a life changed by faith. As Paul instructs, we should be sound in faith, love, and patience. Are these things evident and increasing in your life? Last night, Pastor Chad spoke on what it looks like to be a man of God. Titus 2:1-8 tells us that for young men, sober-mindedness is key—it’s about curbing passions and showing power under control. Challenge yourself and other men of God to live exemplary lives, speaking with soundness and ensuring our behavior is above reproach. Are we truly reflecting Christ in our lives? Let’s rise up and lead with purpose.

What ladder are you climbing? Are you stewarding well the things God has given you? Tuesday, Jon Clark continued our Titus series on leadership by examining what the apostle Paul uses to describe a leader. Titus 1:5-16 is Paul’s description of what a leader (bishop) is and is not, as well as what a leader’s role is. God did not stay in heaven looking down on His people and abandon them, but God came down the ladder as the Savior to serve and save His people! Paul followed Jesus’ example, an example that we can follow as well.

Who’s leading you in your life? Is there someone you’re leading spiritually right now? How do we become Godly leaders in our daily lives? We look to those who are ahead of us in the race, follow them, and submit to where they may send us! Chad kick-started a new series last night diving into the book of Titus, where Titus learned to be a leader by following one of the greatest leaders in the Bible: Paul. We are all called to lead, and we are all capable of leadership. Paul called himself a servant of the Lord. That is what being a leader is: serving others. https://events.bible.com/en/event/edit/49316278 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

Are you living an abundant life? On Tuesday, Pastor Chad Glover taught on How to Have Abundant Life. John 10:10 shows us that the devil is a thief, and his plan is to kill, steal, and to destroy the life God calls us to live, but Jesus has come to bring us life and to have it abundantly. The enemy is out to steal our attention to corrupt our minds, our affection to God, our identity, and our purpose. What is the enemy trying to steal from you? How is he trying to do it? God’s purpose for each of us is to know him personally, to save us from us from our sin, and to use us to build his kingdom. Are you trying to uphold the appearance of living a good life, while spiritually dead on the inside? There is a difference between truly living and merely existing. So, how can you live the abundant life? Abundant life is the obedient life– to walk out your faith and trust in God through asking forgiveness of your sin, living in freedom of sin, cultivating a relationship with Jesus, and living on mission for Jesus.

Is your relationship more of a situationship?

Honoring Your Parents? This can be SO HARD as a young adult who is navigating making so many decisions. As followers of Christ, God calls us to honor our parents, and we don't want to be people who cherry pick what's easy to do in the Bible and leave the rest. This week we talked about 1. What is honor? 2. How do I honor my parents? and 3. Why does it matter? Though this may be hard, we want to remind you, "Things are better when you do things the Designer's way" - Chad Glover. https://events.bible.com/en/event/edit/49299296 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!

True friendship is more than companionship; it’s made up of selflessness, sacrifice, and security. Like Jonathan and David, true friends lay down their lives for each other, stand side by side in every season, and offer a seat at the table despite the challenges. Their bond reflects God’s love, blessing each other through thick and thin. Let’s seek out friendships that embody these qualities, walking together in faith and grace, while also striving become this type of friend. “Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭ Each week, the Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts as free resources

What are we going to do when we get to heaven? How will things we experience in life now compare to what we experience then? Last night, we looked at these things through the lens of Psalm 16:11, "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." We looked at how work and rest, relationships, emotions, entertainment, and worship will all be different in Heaven. These things occupy our time here on Earth, but each will be the most satisfying in the place that the Lord is preparing for us. We will never be able to fill any void with anything but the Lord's presence; there we will find true joy and pleasure. "But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him"- these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God." 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Each week, the Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTu

Hell is a topic many people have misconceptions about. What is it exactly? It is an eternal separation from God and Jesus made teaching about hell a priority. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). We are all filled with sin, but those who build their identities on anything other than Jesus Christ will only be disappointed with the result, here on earth and all of eternity. We encourage you all to invite the people in your life to surrender to the gospel, invite them to Paradigm tomorrow night, and share this sermon with them!

What cross are you on? Jonathan Clark continued our Paradise series last night, where we look at the two men who were crucified and the left and right of Jesus while Jesus was on the cross. The man on Jesus's left mocked Him alongside the crowd, but the man on the right saw that something was different about Jesus, so he asked, "Will you remember me?". Jesus responded, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:39-43) Are you on the cross of revolving sin and anguish? Where you try to solve your problems on your own, but you can't seem to change? Or are you on the cross of salvation, where you recognize your need of a Savior? Jesus IS that Savior. We can trust Him with our lives that His life and His works are what saves us and gets us into heaven. You can be on the cross of salvation today! You may think it's too late, or you're too far gone to be saved, but NO ONE is too far gone that can be redeemed by the blood of Jesus! http://bible.com/events/49286496 Paradigm is a week

What is heaven like? Are there pearly gates? What do we do in heaven? We've all asked these questions before and have had our own ideas about what heaven is like, but what is it REALLY like? Last night, Jonathan Clark kicked off our new series, "Paradise," to jump head-first into the book of Revelation to see what it has to say about what heaven is like. Here's 5 truths about heaven that will change your life: 1. Heaven is physically new (Rev 21:1) Heaven is a physical place, not clouds in the sky. 2. Heaven is prepared (Rev 21:2) God knows all of us better than we know ourselves, and the Lord has prepared heaven, especially for YOU. 3. Heaven is the place of God's presence (Rev 21:3) Heaven will NOT be boring. We will be in the very PRESENCE of God. 4. Heaven is a place of healing (Rev 21:4) In heaven, there's no heartache, no pain, no disease, no sin. God will be there to wipe the tears from our eyes because He loves us. 5. Heaven is our home (Rev 21:5-7) Heaven is not just God's home, it's OURS as well. We
