Pastor Fran begins this new series about the Book of Revelation.  This introduction to the series exposes the wrong way modern preachers have taught Revelation (such as the Left Behind series) and begins to reveal the actual instructive and inspiring truths it contains.  Don't miss listening to this whole series over the next few weeks, because you'll never see Revelation the same again.

Using both Old and New Testament stories, Pastor Fran explores the different ways courage is needed if we are going to build loving and lasting relationships.  He emphasizes that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to move through and beyond our fear because people and the joy of relationship, are worth it!

Discussing Peter’s betrayal of Jesus, Pastor Fran talks about grace as the core reality of the new world Jesus has invited us into, and about how when God’s graciousness begins to captivate our hearts, we begin to get a vision for letting grace flow through us in our relationships with others—and in this there is freedom and joy! 

Proverbs 18:21 says "Words kill, words give life... you choose".  In this message, Pastor Fran talks about how words are the currency we spend in our relationships, and about how realizing the impact of our words can keep us from sabotaging our own desire and efforts to build joyful, lasting relationships.

The way we respond to the wounds we've received in life shapes how we approach our relationships with others.  Pastor Fran talks about naming our specific wounds, letting God come be with us in those inside places, and ultimately of being able to forgive those who inflicted them... so that we may be more free, so that we may know joy, so that we may be able to give our hearts to others.

The disciples want to call down fire on the Samaritans, but Jesus says he came to save people's lives, not destroy them.  Pastor Fran talks about how easily we either write people off approach relationships for only what we get out of them... and what it looks like to see people and dream God's dreams for them.

Jesus said that the good and evil we do first starts in the heart.  Pastor Fran talks our need to become aware of the things inside ourselves (longings, wounds, fears, etc.) that shape who we become and what we bring to our relationships.
