Mar 1600:50:22Tap to summarizePastor Steve Lindenmeyer concludes our Song of Solomon series and preaches from Song of Solomon 8:5-14. How does a great love story end?

Join us this Sunday as we reach the crescendo of the Song of Solomon and discover what selfless and sacrificial love looks like in the golden years — strong, enduring, and priceless.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | Depth & Delight - Song of Solomon 7:1-8:4
Mar 900:56:05Tap to summarizePastor AJ Rankin preaches from Song of Solomon 7:1-8:4. Everything about today's culture says a commitment as serious as marriage kills passion. Close every other door, and you'll miss out. Keep your options open, and you'll find freedom. But what if the world has it exactly backward? In Song of Solomon 7:1–8:4, we find a husband and wife whose intimacy isn't diminished by exclusive covenant love—it's unleashed by it. Depth and delight aren't the enemies of commitment. They are what a longstanding commitment was designed to produce.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | Reconciliation - Song of Solomon 6:4-13
Mar 200:50:15Tap to summarizePastor Steve Heron preaches from Song of Solomon 6:4-13. Every marriage is going to face times when sin rears its head and threatens the unity between spouses. The issue isn't if we will deal with sin, but how we will deal with sin. Will we keep a list of our spouses' failures? Will we remain distant and cold until they earn our favor again? Will our desire for vindication control our marriage? This week, we see how our marriages can experience the power of forgiveness to restore unity and reaffirm love.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | The Anatomy of Conflict - Song of Solomon 5:2-6:3
Feb 2300:47:26Tap to summarizePastor Ben Miller preaches from Song of Solomon 5:2-6:3. On the heels of the honeymoon night, we now watch our couple experience a little trouble in paradise. This week, we encounter this couple in the midst of what every marriage knows all too well: conflict. It's a reality of relationships, particularly in marriage, that we would all avoid if possible. However, what if God has something different to say about this ‘less than attractive’ reality? What if there is a way that conflict can lead to greater intimacy in our marriages?
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | The Honeymoon - Song of Solomon 4:1-5:1
Feb 1600:55:05Tap to summarizePastor Steve Heron preaches from Song of Solomon 4:1-5:1. The wedding night has come, and it's filled with delight, fragrance, and most of all romance. Song of Solomon has been anticipating this night, and God gives us an inside look at the intimacy of this couple. While the honeymoon is certainly foremost in the minds of any couple entering into marriage, we also see that marital intimacy is built on a foundation of character. You can't build a marriage on sex. Rather, sexual fulfillment is an expression of a couple's commitment and servant-hearted love for one another.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | The Royal Wedding - Song of Solomon 3:6-11
Feb 900:47:40Tap to summarizePastor Jonathan Suggs preaches from Song of Solomon 3:6-11. It’s finally here. The moment this young couple has been longing for has now arrived. The preparations are complete, and the procession is beginning. It’s the wedding day! But instead of watching as an attendant, we get the unique privilege of hearing the bride’s own perspective on one of the most important days of her life. We will see what she sees and have an opportunity to appreciate what she appreciates, namely, the weight, joy, and extravagance of covenant love.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | The Pursuit - Song of Solomon 2:8-3:5
Feb 200:56:35Tap to summarizePastor Steve Heron preaches from Song of Solomon 2:8-3:5. The relationship between the Bride and her Beloved intensifies. With great interest and intentionality, he comes searching for her. He invites her come away with him, to develop and deepen their relationship. We see the pattern of a deepening relationship that includes pursuit, intentionality, and even dealing with obstacles that prevent a couple from growing deeper together.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | Attraction and Affection - Song of Solomon 1:5-2:7
Jan 2600:52:50Tap to summarizePastor Steve Lindenmeyer preaches from Song of Solomon 1:5-2:7. This week we continue our study in the Song of Solomon, exploring the powerful attraction and deepening affection between the Shulammite bride and her beloved. Through their intimate dialogue and poetic exchange, we'll discover that true attraction flows not merely from outward beauty, but from inward strength and proven character. Their tender words will challenge us to cultivate the art of detailed observation—truly seeing and knowing one another—and to harness the power of authentic expression in our relationships.
Transcribe →Song of Solomon | The Joy of Love - Song 1:1-4
Jan 2000:53:45Tap to summarizePastor Steve Heron begins our series in the Song of Solomon and preaches from Song of Solomon 1:1-4. The Song of Solomon stands as one of the most insightful looks at the world of dating, marriage, and intimacy. However, many of us have stumbled through the difficulties and heartache of romantic relationships. Thankfully, our God has not left us to navigate the waters of romance without instructions, wisdom, and warnings that give meaning and depth to these relationships. In the first few verses of the Song of Solomon, we are introduced to this world of love to learn just how much God cares for the most intimate parts of our lives.
Transcribe →Enamored by Love | Ephesians 3:14-21
Jan 1200:45:34Tap to summarizePastor Ben Miller preaches from Ephesians 3:14-21. As the apostle Paul approaches this section of his letter, we see his desire for the spiritual vibrancy of the church rise to the surface. What is it specifically that Paul believes the people of God need the most in order to take steps of maturity in their spiritual lives? What is it that will allow the Church to stand as a city on a hill, a light in the darkness, and provide strength to the weary throughout every generation? And what is it that we, the people of God in 2026, need to return to over and over in order to be the people that God longs for us to be?
