Pastor Greg blessed us with a Special Edition of our People Series. This is part 3.5, and you dont want to miss it!

People can be complicated, relationships can be messy, and sometimes the people around us reveal the areas where we still need to grow. In this message from the PEOPLE series, we explore how God uses relationships to develop our spiritual maturity, challenge our filters, and help us work through our baggage. Just because you've experienced pain from PEOPLE doesn't mean you can experience God's full plan for your life without PEOPLE! 📖 Core Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 (NKJV) PEOPLE ARE PROVISION! 🧡 #PeopleBePeopling #ThriveCityChurch #PeopleSeries #SpiritualGrowth

Galatians 6 reminds us to bear one another’s burdens while also recognizing that each person has a responsibility to carry their own load. Even Jesus modeled compassion without compromising His purpose. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is establish a boundary, create distance, and allow God to work in someone’s life. In this sermon, we discuss the five types of people you cannot help and how to recognize when your efforts to support others have become unhealthy. Through Scripture, we learn when to have a conversation, recognize our limitations, separate ourselves, and, when necessary, eliminate unhealthy connections. Scriptures: Galatians 6:2, 5 | Psalm 54:4 | Psalm 121:2 | Deuteronomy 7:9 | 2 Timothy 2:13 | Proverbs 17:17 | Exodus 8:10 (NKJV) #YoureDoingTooMuch #ToxicLoyalty #ChristianSermon #BiblicalBoundaries #Galatians6

In this Sunday message, “There’s Levels To This,” we explore how Jesus modeled intentional relationships and why not everyone should have the same level of access to our lives. Through the life of Jesus, we see that relationships require wisdom, discernment, and healthy boundaries. Proverbs 13:20 reminds us that the people we walk with influence who we become, while Proverbs 4:23 calls us to guard our hearts. Jesus’ relationships reveal different levels of connection: the Crowd, the Followers, the Disciples, and the Inner Circle. Each level represents a different degree of closeness, commitment, and trust. Not everyone who follows you is called to walk closely with you, and relationships should move at the pace of trust. As we grow, we must learn to discern who belongs in each season and protect the relationships God has entrusted to us. As we look toward the vision God has for our lives and our church, we must be intentional about who we allow to influence us, who we invite into our inner circle, and how we establish healthy relational boundaries—even with family. Everybody can have love, but not everybody gets the same level of access. 🧡 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 26:36–38, Genesis 7:16, Proverbs 13:20, Proverbs 4:23, John 2:23–24, John 6:60, 66, Mark 3:14, Luke 6:12–13. #ThriveCityChurch #VisionSunday #TheresLevelsToThis #HealthyBoundaries #SpiritualGrowth
