Godly Relationships: The Unmarried
This week we continue our look at Godly relationships and what God expects from us in our families.

Let’s find out all about it together.

Godly Relationships: A Father’s Love
This week was Father’s Day. Richard takes the opportunity to talk about the role God has for all the Dad’s out there. (Now might be a good time to say that Richard is my Dad and I couldn’t be prouder). The role of the father in the Christian family is a special one. Let’s find out what that is.
Godly Relationships: Slaves and Masters
We continue our sermon series on Godly relationships, taken from Ephesians chapters 5 and 6. This time, we’ll discuss a household relationship that isn’t so common anymore: the relationship between slaves and their masters. Obviously, it’s a wonderful thing that in the Western World, slavery has been abolished, but we can still learn from what Paul says about this relationship and apply it to our own lives.
The Mountain of God
It’s a place that people travel from all over the world to just to get a glimpse. It’s the place that God revealed Himself to a lone shepherd, an emancipated people, and a terrified prophet. It’s been given many names: Horeb, and more famously, Sinai. In Scripture, it’s also called the Mountain of God. What’s so special about this mysterious place? What can we learn from it?
Godly Relationships: Husbands
Last week, Richard began a series in Ephesians about relationships and the household of God. We spoke on Mothers last week. Now, let’s turn our attention to marriage and speak about husbands. Husbands have a specific role they are called to fulfill by God. Let’s talk about that role and the consequences of turning away from His design.
A Mother’s Love
On a day set aside to honor our mothers, we thank God for all the Christian women in our lives who have encouraged us by their faithful example. We are reminded that in the church, we truly are family. We all are blessed with mothers, sisters, and daughters. As the Paul wrote to the young evangelist Timothy, “Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father. Treat younger men like brothers, older women like mothers, younger women like sisters, in all purity.” Today as we thank the Lord for our mother’s love, above all we praise God for His abounding love that welcomes us into His eternal family.
The Greatest Commands
In our culture, the word, “love” is used a lot, seemingly by people who don’t know what it truly means. Love is not a feeling. It’s not something that you fall into. True love, “Agape love” is a choice to consider the needs of someone else as more important than your own. God is the one who shows us what true love is. Romans 5:8 says this: “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Called to Salvation by Grace through Faith
Bridges span vast distances that, without them, we would have no hope of crossing. This week Richard, in this lesson, speaks to the similar nature of God’s grace and how, with His grace and our faith, we can span the vast chasm of death and sin in order to cross over to salvation.
