2/28/16 Series: It's Complicated: Love, Sex, and Relationships Distorted Images by Jordan Rice Our culture is saturated with pornography; as a result, there are unrealistic expectations of intimacy that lead people to captivity. How should we respond to such a culture? With the grace, clarity and hope of the gospel. Scripture: John 2:1-11 (NIV)

Carrying the weight of our relationship status is too much to carry by ourselves. Consequently, the Apostle Paul gives the church a prescription on how to manage the burden of being single, divorced, widowed or married. To carry one another's burdens.

Marriage is a good thing, but it's not the ultimate thing. And relationships get complicated when it gets elevated to a place it was never meant to hold. Nobody can bear the weight of being our ultimate joy. In this message, Jordan Rice explores 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 to redefine what a gift is, and to reorder what's ultimate in our lives.

But if my ultimate roots are grounded in eternity and my destiny is anchored in that same eternity, then I... am a creature of eternal significance." – R.C. Sproul We are no longer defined by our past but we are defined by what Jesus in the past has done for us. Jesus has rescued us from our past broken life and given us a new life and new way of living through and for Him.
