Finding Strength After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk Pastor Jeff on the Loss of Charlie Kirk
In the wake of tragedy, Pastor Jeff delivered a powerful message of hope and resilience, addressing the shocking assassination of his friend Charlie Kirk. Through tears and raw emotion, he painted a portrait of a brilliant 31-year-old Christian leader whose unwavering faith and bold witness for Christ defined his life until its untimely end.
Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Jeff reminded the congregation that while we grieve, we don't grieve as those without hope, anchoring his message in 1 Thessalonians 4. He challenged the church to respond not with vengeance but with the paradoxical power of Christ-like love, even toward enemies. While acknowledging the darkness of our times, referencing 2 Timothy 3's prophecy about the last days, Pastor Jeff called Brave Church to stand firm in truth and grace, announcing a special memorial service and prayer vigil for Sunday at 2 PM.
His passionate plea to fellow pastors to be "peer pressure for the culture" rather than conforming to it culminated in a powerful call to action: to be bold, resolute, authentic, virtuous, and engaged in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, believing that what the enemy intended for evil, God will use for good.
