What if the thing you need most right now is not a fresh start, but some honest maintenance?

In this message, we kick off a “work on it” series at Forest Park Church, slowing down to sharpen our focus and remember who we are. We begin with our first cultural statement: Everyone Included. Here’s what that means at FPC: No matter your past, your present, or your questions, you belong here. You may belong here before you believe or before you behave, because all of us are on the road together, just at different mile markers.

To unpack why this matters, we walk through Acts 10, where Peter experiences a spiritual and theological earthquake that changes everything. The vision was not ultimately about food, it was about people. Peter learns that the gospel does not just call us to love. It gives us permission to love without “fine print,” conditions, or extra hoops.

If you’ve ever felt like church came with disclaimers, exclusions, or hidden requirements, this message is for you.

Key Scripture: Acts 10 Big Idea: The gospel changes the table. Everyone is invited.

Next steps: If you want to help build a church where people can truly belong, join a team, start serving, begin giving, and bring someone with you.
