Marriages, like knots, face tension. When difficulties arise, the natural response is often to loosen the bond, but Jesus teaches us that tension can actually make the bond stronger if we lean into it by pursuing our spouses and keeping our marriages strong—even when it's tough.
THE BIG IDEA: When tension is applied, pursue one another to keep the knot tied.
Knot Average

As Jesus followers, we are called to have relationships that are not average. God’s design for marriage is His reflection of His relationship with us. But we have an enemy who will do everything he can to keep us divided. How do we not fall victim to the enemy’s strategy when it comes to relationships and marriage?
THE BIG IDEA: What starts in the heart doesn't stay in the heart.
Keeping the Knot Tied
September 22, 2024 • Chris Edmondson • Ephesians 5:21, Philippians 2:3–8
While it is easier than ever to fall in love, it is harder than ever to stay in love. No one wants to fall in love and just exist or endure. We want our love to become deeper and deeper. We want our marriage to experience more intimacy. We want to stay in love. Today, we’re going to look at what kills intimacy in relationships.
THE BIG IDEA: When ME wins, WE lose.
