It’s Not Just a Backpack
Date: Sunday, August 16, 2026
Scripture: Matthew 25:34–40
Speaker: Pastor Kyle Horner
Message Summary:
A backpack may seem like a simple gift—but when it’s given with the love of Jesus, it can become a tangible reminder that someone is seen, valued, and not forgotten.
During this special Back-to-School Outreach packing moment, Pastor Kyle Horner shares the “why behind the what” from Matthew 25:34–40. Jesus teaches us that when we care for those who are hungry, hurting, overlooked, or in need, we are ultimately serving Him. As a church, we don’t want to simply recognize needs—we want to recognize people. Charity may see a need, but followers of Jesus are called to see the person.
It’s not just about what we can do through the church. It’s about what we can do by being the Church.
