Love Language Week 7: The Parent/Child Relationship

Hope Creative — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 01:30:30 +0000

As we close out our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Tom McCormick teaches from 1 John 4:10,19.

In this sermon, we focused on the relationship between parents and children and how God calls both to love each other biblically. Parents are to love their children as God loves them—sacrificially and unconditionally. Children are to love their parents by honoring, obeying, and listening to their wisdom.

As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” How does God call parents to raise their children? Check out this sermon to find out!

In week 6 of our series, Love Language: What God Says About Relationship, we were honored to hear from Pastor Patrick Detkin, our Lead Pastor of Care and Community. He preached from John 13:34–35.

The church is not an event you attend, it’s a family to which you belong. And when you belong to a family, it’s not just about you; it’s about others. God calls us to love one another, and this sermon explores what it means to belong to His family and how we can love His family.

In Week 5 of Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington teaches from 1 Corinthians 7:6–8.

Singleness has become a norm in America, lasting longer than ever before—and this message explores what God’s Word says about being single. We learn that singleness is a gift—the one season of life where you can give undivided attention to Jesus and His mission.

We also discuss dating. While the Bible doesn’t provide a step-by-step dating manual, it does offer clear wisdom about relationships, character, and purity.

In Week 2 of our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Luke 10:25-37—the story of the Good Samaritan.

God commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves. From this story, we learned that before we can love our neighbor like the Good Samaritan did, we must first see that Jesus is the true Good Samaritan—and we are the wounded man who was cared for.

We also discovered who our neighbor truly is and how we can love them.

Love Language Week 1: Love Thyself?

Hope Creative — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 01:30:26 +0000

We kicked off a new teaching series, Love Language: What God Says About Relationships. In Week 1, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Matthew 22:34–40.
The most critical relationship in your life—other than your relationship with Jesus—is the one you have with yourself. This matters because if you’re not in a healthy relationship with yourself, it’s unlikely you’ll be in a healthy relationship with anyone else. And God’s primary way of expanding His kingdom is through relationships.
So, what does God’s Word say about how to truly have a healthy you? Check out this sermon to learn more!
