Dead End?

Dead End?

Relationships can be such a double-edged sword. Some might even say, "Relationships…can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em." Yet, as humans created in God's image, we were designed to live in relationship with others – after all, God Himself lives in relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, as humans living in a fallen and sinful world, we constantly experience unmet expectations and painful interactions, which can lead to broken and failed relationships. But the good news is, God's design has so much more in store for us! His power actually allows us to thrive – even as sinful people – in the context of relationships. Join us for Relational Realities, where we'll spend three weeks exploring truths to help us practice healthy relationships in general and applying these truths to marriages specifically.

Creating Spaces – 2K22

We believe that by 2022, through God's grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.

How can you play a part? Pray for those who don’t yet know Jesus, and share your life with them so they can experience good news through your words and actions.

Next Week's Text

A college professor of mine (John) repeatedly told us, "Satan hates godly marriage!" As I've grown older I'm convinced he hates all marriage and as we conclude our Relational Realities series, we'll be exploring three enemies who continually attack every relationship. Knowing the true enemy helps us know how (and who) to battle correctly.
