Relationship Goals

We are currently on a message series on relationships!

 

Week 2 – Have future-oriented relationships

Scriptures: Matthew 6:33

Themes we will cover:

Think about what is the purpose of your relationship?

God is not about ruining fun, but he is about redeeming your brokenness. God has set important boundaries for healthy relationships.

Real love is covenantal rather than convenient. 

 

Week 3 – Allow God to be our redeemer.  

Scripture: John 8:2-11

Themes we will cover:

Healthy Dating Honors God and the other person. 

Have mentors who love God to speak into your relationship.

Godly relationships invite help, not secrecy.

A relationship centered in Christ moves in the right direction.

There’s no brokenness that God cannot redeem. 

  

Through this series, we aim to equip our students with the tools and understanding they need to enter into dating relationships with a godly perspective. We believe it's crucial to prepare them for the future, helping them understand what it looks like to have relationships that are rooted in Christ's love and teachings.

 

We will have tailored talks that will speak specifically to SPARK students (The 5th & 6th grade students)
