Dive into weekly sermons and take time to reflect on what you're learning.
Healthy relationships begin with healthy INDIVID[U]ALS.
As we kick off our new collection of talks, Mature Us, Pastors Rich and DawnCheré Wilkerson collaborate on their message “Better Starts With [U].” Our greatest blessings come in the form of people, but if we don’t put work into our relationships, they won’t work. The best way to thrive in our relationships is to bring the best version of ourselves. Join us in this series as we begin to discover how to bring a healthy [u] in all the relationships of your life.
Maturing in relationships means asking ourselves if the way we live reflects love.
1 Corinthians 13 gives us a beautiful picture of who we should be and how we should love others as we are filled with the love that Jesus gives. The world often tries to define love as an emotion, but we know that love is only defined by the creator of love. Join us as we uncover what love is (and what it is not) according to the one who created it.
Love focuses on giving, lust focuses on receiving.
As we continue in week three of our sermon series “Mature US,” Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. addresses “Sex in Context.” While it may be a difficult conversation, sex affects 100% of people. Because sex is what God uses to seal marriages, the enemy wants to use sex to destroy them. Culture has a distorted view of sex — if we don't get an understanding of God's definition of sex, we will settle for the world's definition. While sex out of context leaves us with consequences, sex within context leads us to holiness.
What God has joined together, let no man separate.
As we wrap up week 4 of our sermon series “Mature [US],” Pastors Rich and DawnCheré Wilkerson challenge us with “Before We Call it [Quits].” In a world that is quick to throw in the towel, we are called to seek holiness through Christ in our relationships. We have been equipped with resources, mentors, and the word of God in seasons when relationships don’t go the way we thought they would. It is never about seeking happiness, but a continual development in becoming the new creation God has joined together. Join us as we get practical about the biblical things we are to consider before we call it quits.
Relationships are a gift, and with every gift comes the responsibility to steward it well. Great relationships are defined by what’s growing on the inside. Over the next several weeks, take some time to pause and reflect on the relationships in your life.
What’s working in your relationship?
Where can you grow?
Celebrate the wins in your relationship and develop a plan to change the patterns that are harming your relationship.
What is the overall health of your relationships?
Take inventory of the important relationships in your life, writing down the areas that need to improve.
Are you bringing the best version of you?
Relationships are a mirror, often showing us areas where we can mature individually. Evaluate the areas of your life where you can grow and bring your better self to your relationships.
Are you comfortable being vulnerable in your relationship?
Vulnerability is the birthplace of intimacy. Assess where you struggle to be vulnerable and choose to share with your significant other.
Is there an area where you are holding onto unforgiveness?
Bitterness and resentment grow when we hold onto past hurts. Determine where you need to release forgiveness and watch for the ways your heart softens.
Beyond your own discovery, we've compiled some key resources to help you on the journey. Contentment is found when realizing we're always a work in progress.
Talk it out in community. Whether you're on a mountaintop or in a valley, Crew is designed for you to have authentic relationships and meaningful conversations on faith.
