This week, we got to hear from some of Wyatt Park's couples and their experiences with being single, dating, engaged, married.

We want to share a huge 'thank you' to our couples:

Bryce & Rachel Szczepanik, Jeff & Kristen Parmer, and Ken & Robin Connell

We can't wait to see you next week for our next series!

In this message, Ryan covers what being engaged and married looks like in a Christian context. He covers three primary points.

1. How to know when to propose?
2. What is engagement for?
3. What is marriage for?

Questions to think about:

• In your opinion, how does the Song of Solomon weigh in on engagement?
• How does marriage model Jesus? If you are married, in what ways can you model Jesus in your relationship to your spouse?
• How might you encourage a Christian who desires to be in a relationship but has had trouble finding someone interested?

In this message, Preston covers what dating looks like in a Christian context. He covers three primary points.

1. Are you ready to date?
2. Who should you date?
3. How should you date?

Questions to think about:

• How can I best honor God during my dating relationship? Can dating be a way for me to grow closer to God? If so, how? If not., why?
• Why is it so important to date someone with the same faith as me? What are the pros of dating a believer and the cons of dating an unbeliever?
• Why is purity important in dating? How can I effectively set boundaries BEFORE I enter a relationship so I can best uphold them DURING the relationship?
• How can I know this person is someone worth marrying? What should I do once I know? What physical steps would you need to take in order to become married?

In this message, Van explains how singleness can be best used as a time of...

-Preparation

-Passion

-Prayer

He explains that when we use our singleness as a time to grow closer to God, we will be best equipped to serve God whatever the season we find ourselves in.

Some of the questions we can ask ourselves from this message:

-Am I leveraging my singleness as a time of growth or am I being idle and waiting for a spouse?'

-Am I doing good so that God will bless me, or am I doing good because I am already blessed by God in His Son Jesus?

-Could I be content in Christ if I were single forever?

We are in the second and final week of our mini-series: Praiseworthy? Where we are looking at modern worship songs and comparing their lyrics to Scripture. We believe that the words that we offer Jesus matter. This week, we are looking at "Reckless Love" by Corey Asbury.

We are so excited to start our mini-series: Praiseworthy? Where we are looking at modern worship songs and comparing their lyrics to Scripture. We believe that the words that we offer Jesus matter. This week, we are looking at "Praise" by Elevation Worship & Brandon Lake.

We are finishing up our Connections series in Revelation this week. Preston is walking us through how we can see Jesus in Revelation 19, where He will return soon, gathering together all believers and defeating death!

We are nearing the end of our Connections: From Eden to Eternity message series. Ryan is taking us through the book of Matthew, talking about the historical evidence sprawled throughout the text and how Jews at that time and how we today should find Jesus in this text.

Join us next week as we close out our series in Revelation!
