Christianity and Guns | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

What does the Bible actually say about guns, and is there common ground in America's gun debate? In this final message of the Issues That Divide series, Pastor Adam Hamilton digs into survey data from nearly 5,200 Resurrection members, conversations with gun shop owners and gun control advocates, and the stories of families in our own community who've lost loved ones to gun violence. Rather than picking a side, Adam looks for where gun owners and non-owners actually agree, on training, safe storage, and closing loopholes that let guns end up in the wrong hands. Then he turns to scripture, from Psalm 20 to Jesus telling Peter to put away his sword, to ask a deeper question: where do we actually place our trust for safety and peace? It's an honest, data-driven, and ultimately hopeful look at one of the most divisive issues in America today.
