Distorted Images

Our culture is saturated with pornography; as a result, there are unrealistic expectations of intimacy that lead people to captivity. How should we respond to such a culture? With the grace, clarity and hope of the gospel.

Scripture: John 2:1-11 (NIV)

It's Complicated: The burden of relationships

Carrying the weight of our relationship status is too much to carry by ourselves. Consequently, the Apostle Paul gives the church a prescription on how to manage the burden of being single, divorced, widowed or married. To carry one another's burdens.

It's Complicated: "The Right Person"

Marriage is a good thing, but it's not the ultimate thing. And relationships get complicated when it gets elevated to a place it was never meant to hold. Nobody can bear the weight of being our ultimate joy. In this message, Jordan Rice explores 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 to redefine what a gift is, and to reorder what's ultimate in our lives.
