Ephesians 4:25-32–Relentless Forward Relationships
Introduction What would you do for your family? Let me flip the question around—what wouldn’t you do for your family? We all have people we care about. It could be a spouse—a husband or wife.

Hebrews 11:13-16: Relentlessly Forward Faith
Introduction I don’t know if you’ve ever gone on an adventure. We like to go on adventures in our home. Many adventures you go on require the ability to navigate where you are going. If you really want to navigate the way you are to go, you need a map. A map is going to […]
James 3:9-12–Set Aflame Sermon Manuscript
INTRODUCTION I’d like to talk about something that I would guess every single one of us did before coming to church this morning.
