In this series, we’ll discover three underrated character traits that can reshape how we live and love. Growing in these qualities will draw us closer to God’s presence, deepen our relationships, and help us reflect his love more clearly to the world around us.

What if God’s love wasn’t meant to stay the same? So many of us treat love like a one-time truth or an obligation to uphold. As we finish our BeLoved series, we’ll see how Jesus’ closest disciple John, envisioned God’s love as dynamic—growing in us as we grow in Him. We be reminded that a vibrant faith is one where Jesus keeps deepening, stretching, and transforming our lives.

There is a deep well of spiritual connection that is available to us, but we often overlook the chance to spend personal time with God.

This week we’ll explore several important ways that we can experience God beyond Sunday mornings, learning how to feel and rely more on the presence of God in our lives.
