We break down what it means to date with purpose, it's importance, and the pitfalls of dating without purpose.

In our third message on relationships we talk about sex and sexuality. God designed us to be united in heart and in body in marriage. It's a beautiful and amazing design. We also have the capacity to sidestep his design, and this can be a big challenge in today's culture. It's by the work of the spirit that we can live out God's design. And it's by Christ's work on the cross that he can redeem us when we fail to do so.

In order to live out a single life well, date well, and know what to do with our sexuality we must first understand God's ultimate plan for our partner relationships: Marriage. We discuss the target to aim for to prepare for the next several week that discuss the particulars of what it looks like to live a life that leads wisely and fruitfully towards marriage.

It can be so easy to keep things surface level with our friends, classmates, coworkers. God calls us to be the light in a dark world. Sin, shame, brokenness, pain, lives beneath the surface in the shadows. Jesus calls us to pray for others, ask tough questions, listen and engage with those around us beyond the surface level.

We kick off a series on relationships where we learn that God has a design for us in our relationships, particularly romantic relationships. We learn that our culture has a lot to say, and so does God.

Sometimes going to our heart's heat source doesn't have its intended effect. Sometimes God feels distant no matter how much we talk with him or read scripture. Sometimes we find ourselves far from live-giving community. Even then God wants to keep our hearts from turning cold.

We explore what it means to walk through trusting obedience through the deserts of our lives.

When we spend time in God's presence, he gives us a heart for what his heart is for. Our our hearts begin to burn for those same things. This message focuses on how our hearts can catch fire by engaging in relationship with God and others.

We look at how the word of God is the heat source of a burning heart, and that through saturating our mind in it and dwelling on God's goodness in our life we can stoke the fire in our hearts.

We diagnose the problem of our hearts, whose default is to cool and harden. We see how our hearts are forgetful, and we must actively seek to remind our hearts of God's goodness.

We finish our series on Asking Questions and tackle the topic of Hell and Punishment.
