Our Current Teaching Series

Gospel Transformed Relationships

Does the gospel affect how you interact with your difficult coworker, talk to your spouse, or reconcile with a family member? Through this sermon series we will study how the Gospel and its relational applications of confession, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, grace, and encouragement are able to transform our relationships.
