We’ve packaged 6 weeks of values into neat hopefully challenging sermons.
We’ve pointed out our DNA
Truth of the matter is that relationships will not look like this…NEAT! Truth is that relationships are messy. You have to be either mature or ready to mature to do authentic relationship.
Mature - b/c you understand growth. You won’t flake when something goes wrong. You’ll give the benefit of the doubt

Be Quick to Give Grace
Be Quick to Give Grace
The best way to hear grace is with your words. Tip: I learned to ask queitsons becuase people hear questions vs. statements
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
