Often forgiveness can feel like a daunting task or a choice to minimize the severity of our wound. But what if forgiveness has more to do with our relationship and trust with God than our relationship with the offender. There is space to create boundaries and speak honestly about the offense while also releasing the offender from our judgment. There is room to use wise judgment, discernment, while also not casting our judgment sinfully. Through this message Kalli discusses a framework of forgiveness that involves embracing both authority and humility as we hand over the gavel to a loving and just judge.

In this message, T.D. Davis (Co-Lead Pastor) explores how the Church (specifically in America) might better steward its resources to support the mission of God in the world. Highlighting Media City Church's unique mission of healing and wholeness, there is need for new economic strategies, especially in times of dynamic financial realities. As part of the church’s economic vision, we learn about five “resource pools”, showing how diverse funding approaches can sustain ministry without relying solely on the church’s internal generosity. Even so, we are encouraged to embrace sacrificial and faithful giving as an essential part of faith journey, reinforcing that abundance is found not in wealth but in aligning with God’s healing mission in us, through us, and beyond us.

In this final week of the “Harmony” message series, T.D. Davis (Co-Lead Pastor) emphasizes the importance of unity and acceptance within a divided culture, drawing from Romans 15:7-13. Paul’s practical guidance to “accept one another” reflects a call for followers of Jesus to embrace others as Christ has accepted them, fostering a community of grace rather than mere tolerance. Through key biblical themes we are challenged to embody a new way of living, where acceptance is active worship, hope extends outward rather than clinging to tradition, and love and character are prioritized over competencies. In this unity, the church is empowered to live out God’s mission of grace and acceptance in a divided world.

In this message, T.D. Davis (Co-Lead Pastor) walks us through Romans 15:1-6. Harmony is challenging because everyone is at different points on life’s journey, yet we should resist judging each other’s progress. Using Christ as the model, Paul emphasizes that the spiritually “strong” should support the “weak,” not because they are better but because it reflects Christ's humility and love. By following Christ’s example, the church can focus on unity through love, service, and mutual respect, rather than allowing differences to create divisions.
