What is this series about?
A Four Week Series
Philippians 2:5 (NIV) encourages us, “In your relationships, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.”
Our church family includes people in every season: single, married, widowed, divorced, those longing for children, estranged from family, or thriving in community.
That’s why this series isn’t about offering one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about anchoring our relationships in the truth of Scripture, which speaks to everyone. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and honest conversation, we’ll confront the brokenness that often surrounds relationships, while holding fast to the hope of Jesus our Great Reconciler.
Let’s keep growing together.
Series Overview
At the heart of the I Can Relate series is a call to approach every relationship in our lives; friendships, marriages, families, and parenting, with the mindset of Christ. God IS community.
Week 1: Friendships
God is relationship. As Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, He models perfect unity and He created us in His image to reflect that same relational nature.
Week 2: Marriage with Ps. Sanga & Kety Samways
Here, we explore God’s original and ongoing design for marriage, a sacred covenant rooted in love, sacrifice, and mutual submission. Marriage isn’t just a social contract or romantic pairing; it’s a spiritual picture of Christ and His Church.
Week 3: Parenting with Ps. Sanga & Kety Samways
What an honour to explore the sacred calling of parenting – not just as a role, but as a divine assignment that reflects the very heart of God. Whether you are a parent, desire to be one, are raising spiritual children, or were shaped by parents, Scripture offers wisdom, encouragement, and guidance for us all.
Week 4: Family
Here we’re exploring the beautiful and complex idea of family – not just the one we were born into, but the family of believers we’ve been born again into. Whether you come from a close-knit home or a fractured one, God’s Word speaks to the power and purpose of family in all its forms.
