As we close out our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Tom McCormick teaches from 1 John 4:10,19. In this sermon, we focused on the relationship between parents and children and how God calls both to love each other biblically. Parents are to love their children as God loves them—sacrificially and unconditionally. Children are to love their parents by honoring, obeying, and listening to their wisdom. As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” How does God call parents to raise their children?

Singleness has become a norm in America, lasting longer than ever before—and this message explores what God's Word says about being single.

In Week 2 of our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Luke 10:25-37—the story of the Good Samaritan. God commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves.

We also discovered who our neighbor truly is and how we can love them. Check out this sermon to learn more!

We kicked off a new teaching series, Love Language: What God Says About Relationships. In Week 1, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Matthew 22:34–40. The most critical relationship in your life—other than your relationship with Jesus—is the one you have with yourself. This matters because if you're not in a healthy relationship with yourself, it's unlikely you'll be in a healthy relationship with anyone else. And God's primary way of expanding His kingdom is through relationships. So, what does God's Word say about how to truly have a healthy you? Check out this sermon to learn more!
