XO: Love, Relationships, and the Church

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week relationship sermon series covers the different kinds of love we experience as Christians, whether it’s the romantic love we have for our spouse (or significant other) or loving our enemies when we can’t muster up the strength to do so. The Bible has much to say about love and displays an array of ways we can experience and offer it without solely focusing on emotion and feeling.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
