Episode Details

This Sunday, Pastor John continues our “Painful Love” series with a sobering and powerful message from 2 Samuel 13–18 titled “Toxic Affection.” Through the story of David and Absalom, we’ll see what happens when love avoids what is hard—when sin goes unaddressed, conflict remains unresolved, and the consequences grow more devastating over time. This message will challenge us to step into difficult conversations, lead with both truth and love, and trust that godly correction brings healing, not harm. Don’t miss this important message that reminds us: avoiding what’s painful today often leads to greater pain tomorrow—but courageous, Christ-centered love leads to restoration.
