    How to be Patient in a Relationship | Living Your Love Story (Part 4)

    Everything about marriage, including the sexual relationship, pictures some aspects of our relationship with Christ. The Bible describes Christ as the Bridegroom, and we, the Church, are the bride of Christ. Song of Solomon shows us how to be patient in a relationship to receive God’s best and not awaken love before it’s time. Song of Solomon 2 shows how Solomon and the Shulamite chose patience over passion in their dating relationship. They decided it was better to be patient in a relationship and reaped the benefits of this God-honoring decision. Any sexual activity outside of a marriage between a man and a woman is a sin. God commands sex only within marriage because it goes much deeper than merely the physical—it touches the soul of the individual. Dysfunction in marriage is often related to disobedience while dating. God created sex as a way of finding intimacy on the soul level with another human being. Sexual intercourse is more than the joining together of two bodies—it’s the joining together of two souls. Sex outside of marriage can be full of intensity, but that is not the same as intimacy! We are created for intimacy, and learning how to be patient in a relationship allows us to build intimacy rather than being controlled by feelings. How to be patient in a relationship to receive God’s best and not settle for less: 1.) Repent of any sin in your life. 2.) Surrender your sexuality to God. 3.) Put “guardrails” in your life to protect you from temptation. 4.) If you are in a romantic relationship, limit physical affection. God is not trying to keep something from you—He wants to give you something better. Join Pastor Phil as he unpacks these principles for how to be patient in a relationship.

  2. The Gift of Singleness | Living Your Love Story (Part 3)

    JAN 26

    The Gift of Singleness | Living Your Love Story (Part 3)

    The phrase “gift of singleness” is heard commonly throughout churches. But is singleness really a gift? What should Christian singles do while waiting and wanting to get married? Five things Christian singles should do with the gift of singleness: 1.) Grow in character qualities that are godly. Real beauty is in character qualities like integrity, fidelity, purity, and serving others selflessly. Godly character is forged from our contentment in Christ! Contentment is Christ is the building block of any successful relationship, and the gift of singleness allows people to pursue and practice it. 2.) Take care of your appearance outwardly. It’s true that God looks on the heart, but man looks on the outer appearance. You have a responsibility to take care of both! 3.) Prepare for your future financially. If you want to get married, you need to plan how you’ll provide materially for your family. 4.) Pursue marriage with integrity. While dating, you establish patterns that will either lead to dysfunction in your marriage or increase joy and intimacy. 5.) Put on a heart of humility. Apart from humility, you’re not ready to marry. People who lack humble hearts always have hard heads. Hardheaded people always have unhappy marriages. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how the Song of Solomon teaches Christians to use the gift of singleness.

    It’s Time to Define the Relationship | Living Your Love Story (Part 1)

    Historically, the Song of Solomon is a love song composed by Solomon to tell the story of the love between him and his gentile bride. Theologically, the book is a picture of the love relationship between Christ and his gentile bride, the Church. The first chapter is an example of how Solomon defines the relationship between him and his bride. The book is known as the “song of songs” because Solomon believes it’s the greatest love song ever written. The song tells the story of this couple’s love and how it developed step by step from the moment they met. Within the song, we find the story of Christ’s love for His bride and how He defines the relationship with us. Solomon represents Jesus. Both Solomon and Jesus are said to be “Shepherd Kings.” Solomon’s Shulamite bride represents us. The Church is the bride of Christ! Solomon is a picture of our Jewish bridegroom, while the Shulamite represents the Church—the gentile bride of Christ. The book uses several word pictures to illustrate God’s design for sex and sexuality: Vineyard The Shulamite woman admitted to not guarding her own “vineyard,” meaning she had not kept her sexual purity. Sun-darkened skin The Shulamite carried the stigma of her sin on her skin, which was darkened from her work in the sun. As a picture of Christ, Solomon redeemed his bride from her sin, her shame, and her pain. In Christ, we are cleansed completely of our sins. It’s time to define the relationship! Jesus isn’t looking for a casual “dating” relationship—He’s looking for a bride! As the Bridegroom, Jesus has said “I DO” to you. It’s time for you to say “I DO” too!

  5. The Abundant Life Journey | The A-Life (Part 1)

    JAN 5

    The Abundant Life Journey | The A-Life (Part 1)

    God has a plan for your life, and Satan does too! Satan wants to give you death and destruction. Jesus wants to give you life and salvation. The word “abundantly” comes from the Greek “permission,” which means “exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more, superfluous, a quantity so great as to be considerably more than what one would expect or anticipate.” What the abundant life is NOT: It’s not the prosperity theology. It’s not easy. What the abundant life IS: A life of eternal value. A life lived with supernatural power, purpose, meaning, and mission. Through Jesus, you can have more than an average life. You can have an abundant life! He is the doorway to eternal and abundant life. Your life will be the summation of your decisions and the doors you decide to walk through. The Jesus way is the only way to an abundant life. He is the only gate and the only way because He alone died for our sins and rose again. Jesus is worth following because He gave His life so we could live. The abundant life is the obedient life. Obedience comes with a cost. It demands a cross, but it leads to life. If you do whatever Jesus says to do, you will live! Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how to live the abundant life that Jesus offers as we kick off 2025!

  6. Hope in Jesus Beyond Bethlehem

    12/29/2024

    Hope in Jesus Beyond Bethlehem

    Hope in Jesus Beyond Bethlehem Description Hope is a confident expectation of what God has promised in the future. Three things to do to carry hope beyond Bethlehem: 1.) We need to trust God. You will often lose hope when you place your trust in what you see rather than what God has said. 2.) We need to obey. Just as Israel was delivered from slavery in Egypt, Jesus’ mission was to redeem humanity from sin. 3.) We need to be faithful and patient. We must be faithful to what God has called us to do and patient to wait for Him to fulfill His promises. As we look to a new year, we can confidently expect God to fulfill His promises to us. Our hope is found in Him!

  7. The Gift of Christmas is Found in the Cross | Before Bethlehem (Part 5)

    The Gift of Christmas is Found in the Cross | Before Bethlehem (Part 5)

    God gave the gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ. We celebrate receiving that gift at Christmas! Our world is cursed by sin and full of sadness and suffering. But Jesus came to bring hope, comfort, and peace. Jesus was God with us who came to save us! Mary is remembered for the virgin birth. She teaches us that no matter how religious or righteous we might be, EVERYONE needs a Savior! The Bible never tells us that Mary was sinless. She was still a sinner in need of a Savior, even though she was the mother of the sinless Son of God. Lessons we can learn from Mary: • Mary confessed she needed a Savior. • Mary confessed she was a sinner. Why must God’s promised Savior be born of a virgin? By bypassing man’s seed, God was bypassing man’s sin so that Jesus was born sinless. Jesus was fully human, so He could bleed and die for our sins, but He was also fully God, so His sacrifice completely atoned for all our sins. The gift of Christmas is really more about the cross than it is about the cradle. Jesus was born to die. It was on the cross that Jesus became our sin offering. The world is full of suffering, sin, sadness, and destruction because the wages of sin are death. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The nature of any gift is that it is freely given. Have you received the gift of eternal life? Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares where the gift of Christmas is truly found.

  8. David and Bathsheba | Before Bethlehem (Part 4)

    12/22/2024

    David and Bathsheba | Before Bethlehem (Part 4)

    The women in Jesus’ genealogy represent specific stories. Matthew’s account of this genealogy is like a family history for the Hebrews. The story of David and Bathsheba is one of the darkest and saddest stories in the Bible. King David committed adultery with Bathsheba, she conceived, and David murdered her husband Uriah to cover up his sin. Satan was at work before Bethlehem to stop the promised Seed of Genesis 3:15! From the moment God promised the “seed of the woman” would one day bruise the head of the serpent, Satan had been trying to stop the “Seed” before He could even be born. In the Davidic Covenant, God had promised King David that one day, one of his “seed” would establish his kingdom and his throne forever. Twelve generations after King David, King Jeconiah was so wicked that God cursed him, promising none of his sons would ever sit on David’s throne. Because God cursed Jeconiah’s line, (Jesus’ legal lineage) David and Bathsheba were both direct ancestors of both Mary and Joseph! Joseph through David’s son Solomon and Mary through David’s son Nathan. Because Jesus was virgin born, He was not David’s seed through His earthly father, but rather His mother! Why doesn’t Matthew mention Bathsheba by name in the genealogy of Jesus? In Christ, God no longer sees our sins and will one day give us a brand-new name! Bathsheba’s name isn’t written because God has given her a new name. God has a new name for you if you will repent of your sin and turn to Him. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares how David and Bathsheba’s story gives us the hope of a new name.
