Why do you do what you do? There's a question driving your life and you might not even know it.This message unpacks the Seven Primal Questions model and the core need underneath your behaviors, choices, and relationships.

Some things you only have to do once to wreck your marriage. This message names them out loud, and hands you the guardrails so you never do that.In a culture that keeps redrawing the lines on sex, marriage, and conflict, this message goes back to what God actually said, that sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant, that temptation is universal but never an excuse, and that the words you use in a fight can wound deeper than you realize. The question underneath all of it: what do you need to stop doing today to protect the marriage and the people God gave you?Whether your marriage feels strong right now, feels like it's hanging by a thread, or you're single and want to get this right before you ever say "I do", this one is for you.In this message you'll discover:— Why sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant marriage, and why that boundary protects you rather than restricts you— How to run from temptation instead of negotiating with it, and why God always provides a way of escape— Why Jesus goes after the heart and not just the act, and what that means for lust and pornography— The guardrails that keep you out of the room where affairs actually start, and the "never do that" rules that keep a conflict from becoming a wound, including the forgiveness that cancels a debt they could never payKey Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Hebrews 13:4, Matthew 5:27-28, 1 Corinthians 13Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchJim BurgenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.BurgenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.burgenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimburgenBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.

Marriage was never meant to be a game, but so many of us treat it like one.What if the way you've been playing is what's actually breaking it?This is Week One of our series More Than a Game. Marriage isn't a contract you keep when it's convenient, it's a covenant that reveals who you really are. This message asks a challenging question: What if God designed marriage less to make you happy and more to make you holy?Whether you're single and want to prepare well, in a good marriage that needs attention before it drifts, or in a painful season wondering if it's too late, this message is for you.In this message you'll discover:— Why the real battle in your marriage isn't against your spouse— How God uses marriage as a refining tool to expose and grow your character— What it means to draw a circle around yourself and take ownership of your part—- Why finding your identity in Christ is the foundation for a healthy marriageKey Scriptures: James 4:13-14, Ephesians 6:12, Malachi 2:16, Psalm 139:23-24Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchJim BurgenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.BurgenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.burgenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimburgenBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.

Somebody is waiting for you to stop waiting.There's a name you keep putting off and God hasn't quit on them yet.The whole Christian life can feel like it's about the crowd: the service, the numbers, the movement. But when Philip heard one voice tell him to run, he left the crowd behind and chased down a single man on a desert road. This message is about the one, the one person God keeps putting in front of you, the one conversation you keep avoiding, and the one name you can't seem to write down. Whether you've convinced yourself they're too far gone, you're afraid of how the conversation will go, or you just stopped noticing them years ago, this is your nudge to stop inspecting the soil and start walking toward them.In this message you'll discover:— Why the one matters more to God than the crowd— What Philip's "run" reveals about how God actually reaches people— How to stop prejudging who's reachable and start the conversation— A practical way to pray for and pursue your one personKey Scriptures: Acts 8:26-40, John 3:16, Luke 15:4-7, 2 Peter 3:9Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.
