Modern culture says love should be effortless and immediate—but Scripture shows that alignment builds the pathway where love can deepen. And while feelings can be strong, they can still lead you off course; shared faith and aligned values create the foundation where love grows with strength and stability. In this message, we contrast contract dating (conditional, short-term, performance-based) with covenant dating (clarity, character, community, compatibility, commitment), inviting believers to pursue relationships marked by spiritual maturity, wise counsel, and a clear, intentional direction toward marriage.

Modern dating promises romance without responsibility and connection without covenant. Yet Scripture tells a very different story about love, commitment, and what marriage is actually for. In Ephesians 5:25–32, we see that marriage is not built on emotional compatibility but on sacrificial love that reflects Christ’s devotion to the Church. In Matthew 7:24–27, Jesus reminds us that only what is built on obedience to God can survive the storms of life.

This message explores how today’s dating culture trains people to protect themselves instead of giving themselves, to sample love instead of commit to it, and to chase feelings instead of building foundations. But marriage was never designed to serve our comfort. It was designed to shape our character. 

Marriage is where God trains your love by testing your self-centeredness.
Through covenant, sacrifice, forgiveness, and daily choosing one another, God uses marriage to make us more like Christ. If modern dating is forming people who avoid commitment, avoid sacrifice, and avoid accountability, then it is quietly sabotaging tomorrow’s marriages.

This message calls us back to God’s blueprint for love, a love that is built to last because it is built on Him. 🕊️

Today, we conclude the Message Series: FORESIGHT. In this message, we cover more aspects of our lives that the Lord has given us directions for, and we just need to follow. No one plans to wreck their lives; We just fail to plan against it. Your life will always move in the direction of your strongest focus. The path you are on determines where you end up. 

Before God gives us more to steward, He tests what we already know. Like a final exam in school, faith tests reveal how deeply we’ve studied God’s ways. In Genesis 22:1–17, Abraham is asked to do what seems impossible—and even contradictory. Drawing from Dr. Tony Evans, this message asks: will you trust God when His instructions don’t seem to align with His promises?

Ever feel stuck between two choices, afraid that one wrong move could mess up your future? In this message, Pastor Z explores why the most defining moments in life aren’t about how spiritual you sound, but how wisely you decide when the pressure is on. This talk unpacks how to slow down, see clearly, and move forward with confidence without giving away the key insights that make it all click.

This message, Dr. Conway Edwards teaches that divine wisdom helps you discern who is meant to stay, who is meant to grow with you, and who must be released with grace. As God edits your circle, He invites you to forgive freely, walk in maturity, and trust His hand even when the shifts feel uncomfortable. These relational adjustments are not losses, but divine alignments designed to protect your purpose. In the end, God surrounds you with people who strengthen your faith and support the calling on your life.

Faith that depends on circumstances will eventually collapse. In Foresight: Faith That Doesn’t Flinch, this message exposes the danger of situational faith—trusting God only when life feels cooperative—and shows why true faith must be anchored in God’s Word, not emotions or outcomes. Through Hebrews, Proverbs, and the life of Joseph, we learn how trials test faith, produce endurance, and reveal whether our trust is built on moments or on an unshakable foundation in Christ. 

If you don’t define the win for your life, you’ll end up chasing someone else’s version of success. In this message, we explore how foresight, discipline, and wisdom help you live by design instead of default. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9:21–27 and Proverbs 27:12, you’ll learn how intentional decisions and spiritual guardrails protect your future, your character, and the people closest to you

What if worship wasn’t just something you did, but something you became? In this sermon from the Echo series, Jada Edwards teaches how offering our bodies as living sacrifices and renewing our minds leads to a transformed life.

Grounded in Romans 12:1–2, this message explains how renewal affects daily habits, obedience, suffering, and spiritual maturity. Worship becomes visible through a disciplined, grateful, and faithful life shaped by God’s truth.

At the heart of the Christmas story is a Savior born in a manger. This Christmas sermon from Luke 2 shows how the setting of Jesus’ birth reveals His humanity, humility, and mission.

In The Miracle in the Mess, we learn that God often begins His greatest work in places we would never choose, that obscurity can be sacred, and that divine purpose does not require ideal conditions. This message offers hope to anyone navigating delay, rejection, or uncertainty during the Christmas season.
