In Week 2 of our Work in Progress series, Pastor Alex Graves delivers a clear, biblical, and hope-filled message: “Identity Precedes Intimacy.”

Our culture tells us relationships are the foundation—find the right person and you’ll finally feel whole. But Jesus teaches something different: what you build your life on determines what survives the storm. (Matthew 7:24–27)

✨ Big Idea: You can’t build healthy relationships on an unhealthy identity—identity in Christ must come before intimacy.

In this message, we talk about:
-Why relationships make terrible saviors (and great companions)
-How storms reveal the strength of your foundation
-Why intimacy is easier than identity—and how that order destroys stability
-God’s design for sexual integrity (not restriction, but protection)
-How identity in Christ brings freedom to dating, marriage, and singleness

📖 Main Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27 (NIRV)
📍 Key Passages: 1 Corinthians 3:11, Colossians 2:6–7, 1 Thessalonians 4:3–4
