Relationships Are Hard

Why Parables?

Why do some people hear Jesus' words and never change, while others are transformed from the inside out?  Join us as we begin a summer journey through the parables that reveal the quiet power and surprising nature of the Kingdom of Jesus.

Forgiveness & Reconciliation

Most relationships don't fall apart all at once. Hurt accumulates. Trust erodes. Resentment takes root. So how do we move forward when we've been wounded—or when we've wounded someone else? This Sunday we'll conclude our series on relationships by exploring forgiveness, reconciliation, and the hope that God can create a future that seems impossible today.

Conflict is Hard, part II

Our culture teaches us to avoid discomfort, ghost difficult people, and cut ties when relationships get messy. Jesus calls us to a different way. In this sermon, Pastor Bill explores practical, biblical wisdom for resolving conflict and fulfilling our call to be ministers of reconciliation.

Conflict is Hard, part I

Conflict is a normal part of life. People see the world differently, want different things, and sometimes clash. But why do disagreements so often become division, resentment, and broken relationships? This week we'll explore Jesus' surprising diagnosis of what really drives conflict—and the inner work that must happen before we can move toward resolution.

Boundaries are Hard, part II

Relationships are hard — and boundaries can make them even harder. What do you do when people push back against your “no”? In this sermon, we’ll look at how Jesus responded to anger, manipulation, and resistance without losing His peace or compromising His love. Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re gates. Come discover how truth, grace, and healthy limits can transform our relationships.
