“Singleness is for devotion; dating is for evaluation.” Pastor Ben Stuart continues our series on relationships this week with a message about dating. It is not a status we sit in — it is a process we walk through! Dating exists for the purpose of evaluating whether or not you are supposed to run alongside a person for the rest of your life. In the process of evaluation, Pastor Ben challenges us to consider how we view dating: do we look at it with a consumer mentality or a companion mentality? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kicking off our new series, Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, Pastor Ben Stuart dives into what the Scriptures have to say about singleness. We see that there is a purpose in the season of singleness, and we have to get a relationship with God right before we can get a relationship with a guy or girl right. Pastor Ben reminds us not to miss the benefits of the season we are in because we are pining away for the benefits of another season. “God has ordained a season of singleness not for us to fill it with distractions or career ambitions, but to pursue an undistracted devotion to Him.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“You can’t hold anger and love in your heart at the same time” We live in a culture where un-forgiveness is common. This week, Pastor Ben Stuart closes out the Lord’s Prayer series by challenging us with the truth that we can’t grip the gospel of grace but hold on to resentment at the same time. When we understand Christ’s forgiveness of us, that allows us to forgive others. The cross comforts us in the justice of God, and compels us in His love! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
