Hard Hats Required

Pastors Alex and Brooke Graves kick off our brand-new series Work in Progress with a real, honest, and hope-filled conversation titled “Hard Hats Required.” Relationships are complicated—dating can be confusing, marriage can be hard, and singleness can feel lonely. But we believe this: healthy relationships don’t accidentally work… they’re built. And in every season, God is still building something good. ✨ Big Idea: Relationships don’t create what’s inside you—they reveal it so God can rebuild it. In this message, we talk about: -Why relationships expose what’s already there (and why that’s good news) -How love is something you choose to put on, not something you wait to feel -Why making allowance, practicing forgiveness, and extending grace are construction tools -How honoring each other strengthens what you’re building -Why holiness matters more than comfort in every relationship season 📖 Main Scripture: Colossians 3:12–14 (NLT) If you feel like your relationship is under pressure, unfinished, or messy—welcome home. This is a construction zone, and hard hats are required. ⛪ Join us in person: Anchor Church 3140 Clinton Parkway Lawrence, KS 66047 🕙 Sundays at 10:00 AM 🌐 Website: https://weareanchor.church 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/weareanchor.church 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/weareanchor.church 🙏 Prayer & connection: https://weareanchor.church/connect 📥 Subscribe for more messages that help you find and follow Jesus—and build relationships that last.
