Love Handles

Teaching Series
Sundays, January 5–26

Listen on iTunes>>

There are conversations we don’t customarily talk about in the church. The thing is, everyone else around us does. What does it look like to join in on these conversations with grace and truth? Let us talk about a few of these topics and discuss how to do so without compromising our beliefs. Join us as we learn how Jesus’ love handles tough conversations.

Note: this series is PG-13; parents, please be advised to use your discretion.

WEEK 1

January 5
Brokenness

It’s a normal thing for things to break in our lives. Often, the hardest part is knowing it won’t ever be “as good as new.” If we’re honest, the same could apply to our relationships, jobs, beliefs, identity and more. Brokenness is a real part of our lives, but living with the mess doesn’t have to be as challenging as we think. In week one of Love Handles, we see how Jesus’ love handles the tough conversation of the brokenness of life.

WEEK 2

January 12
Sexuality

Caleb Kaltenbach is a pastor, author, and founder of The Messy Grace Group. In week 2 of Love Handles he shares about his life and his life's work as well as how loving others doesn't require shifting your beliefs.

WEEK 3

January 19
Race

On April 4th, 1968, the world lost one of the greatest men to walk this earth-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Reverend King lost his life as he boldly pushed back against the racial injustice of our country. His impact paved the way for monumental changes to racial relationships in our society, but the dream result is far from realized.
Would you describe yourself as a "half-full" or "half-empty" type of person? Either way, we all can agree that it's not completely full - and we are all seeking fulfillment from someone or something in this life. That's where addiction comes in.
