Telling Our Story: Communal Faith and Acceptance | Shawnee Community Christian Church

We know the feeling of being overwhelmed and alone. This powerful sermon, “Telling Our Story,” with Pastor Tabatha, offers a vital truth: communal faith and acceptance mean you never have to navigate doubt or despair alone. Based on 1 Corinthians 11, the message shows how Jesus’ act of sharing communion was meant to be communal and counter-cultural, actively breaking down the divisions that try to separate us. We explore the powerful realization that when your own faith is running low, you absolutely can rely on the strength of our community. This message is a deep reminder that we belong together in the journey of life and faith here in the Shawnee/Lenexa area.

Our church’s story provides a strong contrast to the ancient Corinthian church—a “hot mess” that failed to practice acceptance. You will discover how our affirming church community intentionally created a new narrative of true love, acceptance, and generosity. We intentionally used past struggles to fuel growth. Watch the full sermon replay to witness the power of a faith community that asks, “Are we living into God’s dream for us?” Join us next week for our worship service and become part of a movement where you are fully seen, fully loved, and fully embraced by our communal faith.
