Students graduate unable to read past a fifth-grade level because someone decided that showing up was good enough. Pastor Trevón Gross uses that picture to ask what happens when believers settle for the same standard with God. In part six of The Beloved Community, he shows from Ephesians 4 and the letter to Philemon how God places us in a loving church that receives us as we are and then calls us higher. Love never leaves a person where it found them. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a faith that stopped growing, this message is for you.

The father in Luke 15 saw his son while he was still a long way off, which means he had been watching the road every day. In part five of Becoming the Beloved Community, Pastor Trevón Gross shows how God receives the broken and calls His church to do the same. He challenges us to throw away the ledger we keep on other people and to walk closely with those who are trying to find their way back. If you have ever wondered whether you have gone too far for God to restore you, this message is for you.

Zacchaeus climbed a tree because the crowd would not let him see Jesus, and Jesus stopped in that same crowd to call him by name. In Part 4 of Becoming the Beloved Community, Pastor Trevón Gross preaches "Love Sees You" from John 1:42 and reminds us that God sees us when the mask comes off and the tears fall. He challenges the church to give people full attention and to value them before asking anything of them. A community shaped by this kind of love can minister to what people struggle to put into words. If you have ever felt overlooked or used by the people around you, this message is for you.

As a young seminary student, Pastor Trevón was greeted every Sunday by a kind, generous church member who never learned his name and only ever saw his complexion. In part three of Becoming the Beloved Community, he shows how quickly all of us sort people into categories, and how the love of Jesus calls us past every one of them. Drawing on Galatians 3:28, Ephesians 2:14, and Peter’s encounter with Cornelius in Acts 10, this message reminds us that comfort is not the same as community. The beloved community is built on agape. If you have ever kept someone at a distance because they were not like you, this message is for you.

You know your friend’s breath is bad, and you hold your breath every time they talk instead of telling them. Pastor Trevón uses that small, familiar moment to ask a bigger question about how many people we fail by staying silent. In part two of Becoming the Beloved Community, he shows from Ephesians 4:15 that we only grow up into Christ when truth is spoken in love. He also explains why a friend’s honest word can be trusted more than an enemy’s kiss. If you’ve ever kept quiet to avoid a hard conversation, this message is for you.Short version: Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is permissiveness.
