Welcome & Encouragement
Welcome to May, Sister!
Our relationships—whether in marriage, family, friendship, or church community—are the canvas where the beauty of Christ's love is visibly displayed to the world.
This May, we delve into God’s design for relational wisdom, sacred romance, covenant faithfulness, and sacrificial grace across four enriching themes:
Guard Your Heart & Cultivate Virtue (5/1 – 5/8): Hear the wisdom of Proverbs warning against subtle entanglements and contentious speech, while celebrating the noble strength, diligence, and dignified beauty of the Proverbs 31 woman.
Sacred Love & Redemptive Covenant (5/9 – 5/17): Delve into the holy passion and tender intimacy of the Song of Solomon, seeing love as a fierce, unquenchable flame. Then witness God’s relentless, redeeming covenant love in Hosea and His call for integrity in Malachi.
Grace, Forgiveness, and Christlike Covenant (5/18 – 5/22): Walk with Jesus from the joy of the wedding at Cana to His teachings on the sanctity of marriage, radical forgiveness, heart purity, and the supreme way of unconditional love in 1 Corinthians 13.
Mutual Honor, Partnership, and Kingdom Community (5/23 – 5/31): Explore practical apostolic guidance on marriage, mutual respect, and spiritual unity, concluding with the heartwarming partnership of Priscilla and the ultimate command to love one another as Christ loved us.
May the Word of God this month refine your character, heal your heart, and overflow through your relationships with Christlike grace, wisdom, and steadfast love!
