Kingdom Priorities

Aug 2, 2026    Pastor Duke Edwards

What if the relationships in our lives are not random at all, but carefully assigned by God? This message digs into the profound truth that we were created for connection, and that the people around us are not accidents but opportunities. We explore four defining characteristics of someone who stewards relationships the way God intended: giving, seeing others through God's eyes, forgiving, and preferring others above ourselves. Drawing from Luke 6:31, the golden rule is reframed not as a passive suggestion but as an active, kingdom-driven call to flip the world's mindset of 'what can I get' into 'what can I give.' The result is a vision of community where marriages strengthen, families heal, and even the most broken people find hope because someone chose to love them well.
