In this final message (and everyone said “amen” to that) of this “Relational Repair” series, we circle back to this idea of trying to do Christianity without other Christians… of trying to access all the spiritual benefits of a relationship with God without a relationship with His people; His BODY!

I’ll concede that doing life as independently and autonomously as you can might be easier a lot of the time, and this era of A.I. and internet has perpetuated that, but could we be missing out on one of the most significant gifts by keeping God’s people at a safe distance?

There is risk… there is vulnerability AND there is spiritual blessing awaiting those who lean into the fact that we are better together

What if the single most important change you could make in your relationships isn’t a new rule or a list of dos and don’ts, but an intentional mindset you choose each day?

How would your marriage, friendships, workplace, or family look if you stepped back from scorekeeping and practiced one simple, countercultural move, especially when it felt difficult?

Can a small shift in how we respond actually heal long-standing wounds and model a different way of living together?

Join us as we explore just ONE practical step for relational repair and invite you to try one quiet experiment this week.

Who decided that taking the last slice of pizza counts as a moral failing?

Can prayer double as a passive-aggressive announcement to your spouse?

Sunday we’ll ask awkward questions, smile at our own hypocrisy, and maybe stumble onto a clue or two about why we bicker.

The Bible has some answers. I’m a little worried you might not like the answers though. It requires some serious self-reflection more than it requires you “fixing” the other person.

Whether you were previously married, currently married, or want to be married one day, this message is for YOU as special guest Brett Ullman leads us into a conversation on crucial areas like resolving conflicts, enhancing communication, and fostering intimacy.

Gain practical tips on managing household tasks and finances and ensuring a balanced partnership. Understand the significance of building a strong family bond, having fun together, and having a shared purpose in life.

Join us for an engaging session filled with insights to strengthen your marriage.

How is our constant connection to screens shaping the quality of our face-to-face relationships… our “assignment” to authentically love one another?

We spend hours a day on phones and devices, yet feel increasingly disconnected—are we trading presence for convenience, interruptions for attention, and real listening for curated content?

What happens to compassion, relational depth, and even friendship-making when our eyes and minds are elsewhere?

While historically speaking this may be a relatively NEW topic, I suspect it’s one that’s affecting us all on some level. I think we’d all agree that technology is affecting our ability to truly be with one another.

This Sunday, let’s look at the real cost of taking offence:

What do we lose when a small (or big) slight becomes a long-term wound?

How do we tell the difference between a boundary that needs protecting and a habit of staying hurt?

What happens to our friendships, families and churches when we default to assuming the worst?

Come ready to consider practical ways to notice the trap before it snaps shut, and to ask different questions next time someone rubs us the wrong way.

Relational Repairs - Part 4: “Where Do You Draw the Line”

What does it look like to guard your heart without shutting others out?

When does kindness stray into setting yourself up to be harmed, and how would Jesus have set limits?

Are forgiveness and reconciliation the same as restoring a relationship to its previous status?

Does grace mean allowing someone to repeatedly harm us?

When is withdrawal a faithful witness, and when is it avoidance?

After three messages in this series on proactively seeking relational reconciliation, it’s time to talk about the exceptions … those who won’t or can’t be fully reconciled.

Join us as we wrestle with questions more than quick fixes, seeking wisdom from Scripture and one another.

There is one word - one of the most wonderful words in the English language - a word that we so long for in our lives and yet find it so difficult to give or apply to others.

It’s a word that looks to assume the best of the person you’re in conflict with. A word that forces one to reckon with our own shortcomings.

It’s a word that the apostle Paul came to a bit later in his ministry, and then it dominated his writings and much of the New Testament.

It’s a word that songwriters call “amazing” and that Pastor Kris triple-downs on.

It’s a word that is extremely challenging at times to offer up in relationships but a word that works!

I’ll bet some of you have sussed it out.

Wherever two or three are gathered… there’s eventually gonna be a spat

Aren’t you glad the Bible doesn’t just point out the problems… the sin… but also offers a way out. Sometimes it’s a big-picture-theological solution, and sometimes it’s a down-to-earth practical wisdom that (as it turns out) even works in 2026.

We talked last week about our typical and even timeless ways that humans respond to relational differences (avoiding, exploding, passive-aggressive, etc.), but the Bible actually provides a sequential process for addressing conflict with each other - especially (but not necessarily limited to) your Christian brother and sister.

Is it easy? Uh… not at all.

But it works!

Let’s be real— relationships are both the source of our greatest joys and probably our greatest pains, wounds and frustrations.

Relationships are messy. Whether yours feels broken, strained, or just a little neglected, we all want healing, peace, and a fresh start. For the Christ follower, we especially want to approach relationships “the Jesus way”, which really raises the bar.

This series looks at how to build healthier connections: how to live at peace with others, handle conflict with wisdom, set and respect boundaries, and practice forgiveness and grace, all from a Biblical perspective.
