Relationships

Feb 1, 2026    Pastor Jerry Varner

We are created for relationships! The Word of God teaches in 1 Corinthians 13 that love is patient and kind; it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. True love is not proven in times of comfort but in moments of testing. When life grows thick with trials—when misunderstandings arise, when tempers flare, when it feels easier to walk away—God’s grace calls us to remain steadfast in love. Christ did not abandon us when our sins made things “thin”; instead, He bore our burdens, carried the cross, and restored us with compassion. In the same way, we are called to love beyond convenience—to forgive freely, to choose humility over pride, and to stay faithful through every season. So, let us be steadfast and faithful, choosing reconciliation over resentment, prayer over pride, and commitment over convenience. For when we walk through the thick and thin together, rooted in God’s Word, our relationships become testimonies of His enduring love.
