Before You Say "I Do"

Welcome to our February Relationship Series: Mixed Signals. In a world full of confusion about dating, sex, and marriage, God brings clarity. If we don't have a proper understanding of marriage, we won't take the right approach to dating. In this message, Pastor Filmore helps us explore what it means to date with wisdom, purpose, and biblical guidance — because dating well leads to marrying well. From Jesus' words in Matthew 19 to practical insights on character, chemistry, and community, we unpack the essential elements of Godly relationships. Are we dating to evaluate or just passing time? Are we looking for a person to love or a product to consume? And how do we avoid the trap of unrealistic expectations? Whether you're single, dating, or already married, this conversation will equip you with biblical principles to navigate relationships with clarity, purity, and wisdom. Because the second most important decision you'll ever make — after choosing to follow Jesus — is who you'll spend the rest of your life with.
