Proverbs For Your Love Life
This world has a lot to say about your love life, with messages like “find your soulmate,” “follow your heart,” “love at first sight,” “it’s just between us,” and “variety is the spice of life” constantly bombarding us. These empty and dangerous clichés leave us feeling hopeless and unsatisfied, but God’s Word points us to our true fulfillment in Jesus and gives us timeless wisdom for our love lives—whether single, dating, or married. Join us for our new series, Proverbs for Your Love Life, as we learn to combat the unwise romantic advice around us with the truth and hope of Scripture.
