In this message from the "Known and Unashamed" series, we dive into 1 Corinthians 13 to explore the qualities of love. Pastor Jon unpacks how patience, kindness, and other attributes shape our relationships and reflect God's love. Discover how love protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres, offering a "most excellent way" to build intimacy. The message also touches on how striving to love one another is a "dim reflection" of the love that God has for us.

Pastor Jon Ewton dives into the critical role of forgiveness in maintaining healthy relationships, in his sermon titled "Festering Wounds." Drawing from Matthew 18:21-35, he unpacks the parable of the unforgiving servant. Ewton highlights that forgiveness isn't a singular act, but a continuous practice, and emphasizes the high cost of true forgiveness, mirroring the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

The sermon unpacks the idea that forgiveness is not an action, but the cessation of action, stopping the demand for repayment or retribution. Listen as Pastor Ewton challenges us to recognize the vast debt we've been forgiven and to extend that same mercy to those who have wronged us. He reminds us that while reconciliation can be a lengthy process, the act of forgiveness is at the heart of the Gospel. This message offers hope for healing and restoration in all of our relationships

Pastor Dave Bondeson continues the "Known and Unashamed" series, diving into the impact of sin on our relationships and the promise of restoration through Christ. Using Genesis 2:25, 4:1-16, and Judges 6:25-27, he explores how sin leads to brokenness, deflection of responsibility, and the perpetuation of harmful cycles across generations. The sermon challenges listeners to identify unhealthy patterns learned from their families, tear down those "altars," and seek support in community.
