A Godly Response to Charlie Kirk’s Death - The Elephant in the Room

Have you ever been at a family gathering where someone brings up politics at the dinner table? Suddenly the room goes quiet, and everyone braces for conflict. That’s how many of us feel when certain names or cultural voices come up in conversation.

This Sunday at Real Life, we’re continuing our series The Elephant in the Room by asking:

• How should Jesus followers respond when culture is loud and divided?
• How do we stand for truth without being consumed by anger or hate?
• How do we keep Jesus at the center when politics and personalities threaten to pull us apart?

This isn’t a political message. It’s not about left or right. It’s about the deeper question: Do people see Jesus in us?

Together, we’ll look at what Scripture says about anger, forgiveness, and unity, and how we can live as citizens of a kingdom “not of this world” (John 18:36). Don’t miss this timely and powerful word — come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and reminded that Jesus is still on the throne.
