Listening is Loving (with Guest Speaker Sarah Rudd)

In a disconnected world, one of the most powerful ways we move from lonely to loved is learning to listen. In this message, Sarah Rudd explores why listening is wired into us from creation, how God listens to us, and how the Holy Spirit can help us become people of presence and connection. You’ll also hear three common listening pitfalls (self-importance, avoiding painful words, and contempt), a practical self-assessment for listening, and simple steps to grow: slow down, listen for feelings, reflect back, and make space for what God might be saying. If you want deeper relationships—with God and with others—this message is an invitation to become a better listener. What is your next step?

Repair-Rich Marriage

Great marriages aren’t conflict-free—they’re repair-rich. In this message from Ephesians 5:21–33, we explore God’s vision for marriage as a signpost pointing to Christ and the church. We look at why this passage begins with mutual submission, what it means for husbands to love with Jesus-shaped, self-giving sacrifice, and why healthy relationships are marked by repair instead of escalation. You’ll also learn what a “repair attempt” is, why it matters, and a practical 24-hour repair challenge you can apply right away. Most importantly, we see how the gospel fuels repair: God moved toward us first in Jesus—so we can learn to move toward one another. What is your next step?

Family Boundaries: Love God First, Love People Well

Family is hard—and boundaries can be hard too. In this message from Mark 12:28–31, we explore how Jesus’ Great Commandment brings clarity to messy relationships by putting love in the right order: love God first, then love people well. We look at how disordered loves distort family dynamics, why boundaries can feel painful but still be loving, and what’s in your control—and what isn’t—when conflict gets complicated. We also close with communion, remembering that Jesus loved us first, meets us with grace, and helps reorder our loves. What is your next step?

Unmarried, Not Alone (+ Baptism Sunday)

In a culture that treats being unmarried like a problem to fix, Jesus offers a completely different vision: unmarried isn’t second-class—and the church must offer thick belonging to everyone. In this message, we explore why marriage is good but not ultimate, how Jesus and Paul speak about being unmarried, and why the New Testament points to the church—not marriage—as God’s answer to loneliness. If you’ve ever felt left out, overlooked, or pressured to “find your person” to be whole, this message will help you see where real life is found: in Jesus, and in the family he forms.
