Pastor Aaron Pennington kicks off our new series, Tell Me More About…, with a message on singleness, dating, marriage, and what it means to be complete in Christ.In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul refers to singleness as a gift. For many, that may not be the first word that comes to mind. But this message challenges us to rethink singleness, not as second place, but as a season where God can shape identity, security, purpose, and devotion.Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, married, or walking with someone who is, this message offers biblical wisdom for relationships, boundaries, identity, and doing things God’s way.Marriage is good, but it is not God. Only Christ can complete us. When we understand who we are and whose we are, every relationship in our life becomes healthier because of it.Scripture References:1 Corinthians 7Colossians 2:6–10John 15:13Trace Church | Colorado Springs, CO

What kind of foundation are you building your life on?In this message, Pastor Aaron Pennington concludes our Sermon on the Mount series by teaching through Matthew 7:24–29. Jesus tells the story of two builders: one who built on rock and one who built on sand. Both heard the same words, but only one put them into practice.This sermon challenges us to move beyond spiritual complacency, good intentions, and consumer Christianity, and to become people who don’t just hear the words of Jesus but live them out.Pastor Aaron also speaks to Trace Church about unity, ownership, generosity, and what it means to build a stronger foundation as a church for the future.Scripture References:Matthew 7:24–29Psalm 1John 17Trace Church | Colorado Springs, CONew episodes every week.
