The Fine Print: Covenant vs. Consumerism | Why You're Connected But Still Lonely (Ephesians 5:21, Proverbs 18:24)
"Amazon Prime has discipled us more than Sunday school ever did."
We swipe, scroll, ghost, and keep our options open — with friends, with church, even with God. We're the most connected generation in history and the most lonely. Something's broken.
The Bible has an ancient word for the fix: covenant. In this message we explore the difference between consumer relationships and covenant relationships — and why God's radical, no-fine-print love changes how we stay, commit, and show up for each other.
