The Bible dedicates significant space describing how God’s people should respond to antagonists. Philippians 1:27-30 provides a concise outline of the big ideas: know who you are; walk worthy of Jesus; stand firm; be harmonious; contend for gospel truth; reject fear; remember the promise of suffering.

Loving through Household Rhythms
June 9, 2024 • Wayne Braudrick • 1 John 3:4–6, John 15:9–11, Proverbs 16:32, Matthew 23:28, Proverbs 3:11–12
Our households are intended to be schools of love (to borrow a monastic phrase). Like any school, our homes cannot function without rules and habits – those regular practices that comprise rhythm. In this message, Pastor Wayne, demonstrates how important these rhythms are and gives incredibly helpful applications for every family!
Joy in Loving Through Marital Conflict
June 2, 2024 • Wayne Braudrick • 1 Peter 3:7, Numbers 30:1–2, Genesis 3:12–17, Ephesians 5:25–26, Ephesians 4:15
Conflict is part of life outside Eden, and the closer the relationship, the more explosive and painful the conflict can become. Thus, marital conflict is one of the most critical areas for a Christian to apply love. In this message, Pastor Wayne reveals how we can recognize the reality and inevitability of marital conflict, assess the arena, and work the problem to truly love one another well.
Joy in Loving the Brethren
May 26, 2024 • Jared Coe • 1 Corinthians 13
Followers of Jesus are called to love one another well, but it is more than that. Agape, self-sacrificial, love is only given to us by God, who saved us and enables us to love one another from the heart so that we might be a fully-functioning body and represent Him well. In this message, we look at how Paul instructed the church in Corinth to love one another and what that really looks like for all of us.
