Exposed: Family

Family can be both a blessing and a challenge, but God calls us to love them—even when it’s hard. In this message, Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers explores how patience, perseverance, and humility (the opposite of pride, if you are a fan of alliteration) can transform our relationships, reflecting the unconditional love God shows us. Whether you’re struggling with a difficult family member or simply seeking to strengthen your bonds, this message will encourage and equip you to love like Jesus....

Exposed: The Right Perspective Of Dating

The concept of dating only began in the early 1900s. But as author Jonathan Pokluda said in his book, Outdated: “Just because modern dating wasn’t really around when the Bible was written doesn’t mean the Bible doesn’t have anything relevant to say about the subject.” And if you are not in that part of life where you are interested in dating, this message can still apply to you if you are: A parent raising kids who will experience dating.A friend or family of a single person that may need wis...

Exposed: The Purpose of Sex

Genesis 1:28a says, "Then God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and multiply.'" Now God could have thought up a million different ways to procreate—but He blessed us with the gift of sex, a gift designed not only to reproduce, but to bring pleasure. And these are pretty much the only two things we ever think about when it comes to sex, making babies and feeling good. But there is a far greater purpose to sex than just those two things. God did not create sex just for pleasure and procreatio...

Exposed: The Commitment to Oneness

Movies, TV shows, and books on romance all seem to teach that "chemistry" is one of the key factors that lead toward success in a relationship. It's how you know you've found “the one", right? Chemistry is a powerful thing. It can make a relationship feel right—and when a relationship feels right—we often believe it is right. And it might be—but chemistry is not the litmus test to determine that. If God calls you to the incredibly difficult gift of marriage—passion and chemistry are gre...

Exposed: The Power of Marriage

The teaching of Jesus on marriage in Matthew 19 was so clear, so controversial, and so countercultural—His standard for marriage was so high—that even His own disciples, upon hearing Jesus’ teaching and expectations on marriage responded, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry!” (Matthew 19:10) In this message, we address one of the most sensitive subjects in the Church—marriage, divorce, and remarriage. But Jesus wasn't focused on the problem of divorce—He was focused on the ...

Exposed: The Purpose of Marriage

The primary purpose of marriage—according to God through the Apostle Paul—is not to solve our loneliness. It’s not to fulfill some romantic need or desire. It’s not to complete me, and it's not to “find the one". None of those things are bad. Marriage can provide companionship. There is and can definitely be romance and sexual fulfillment. But while those things might be by-products of a good and healthy marriage, they all fall woefully short of fulfilling the purpose of marriage. The practic...

Exposed: Celebrating Singleness

Singleness is not a season to endure. It’s not something to simply wait out until something better comes along. Singleness can actually be that “something better.” It’s a status to celebrate. What is there to celebrate about singleness? Watch/listen to this message by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness to find out.

Exposed: A Single Focus

Most of us grew up being taught that somewhere out there in the world is one person—we actually call them “the one”—just waiting for me to find them, to “be mine,” love me, kiss me, and be my soul mate. Until I do—until I find “the one”—I will be incomplete. Unfulfilled. I won’t be whole. But have we been focusing on the wrong thing? Watch/listen to the first message of the series, Exposed: Revealing God's Purpose for Relationship to find out what our true focus should be. Message Notes: http...
