Series Overview
Sermon Series: Family Ties "Can you hear me now?" We've all asked this question when we go through an area with spotty coverage. In today’s world, we’re accustomed to being constantly connected—whether to our loved ones or our work. But long before cell phones and social media, God hardwired us for connection. From the beginning, you were created not just to be in community with others, but to have a deep, personal connection with God. Our "longing for belonging" is central to the human experience, and relationships are both the source of our greatest joy and, at times, our deepest heartache. This series, Family Ties, will explore God's design for the relationships that shape our lives—whether our biological family or spiritual family. We’ll uncover how God is actively at work to connect us for good.
