Finding the Balance When Relationships Are Difficult

Speaker: Troy Phelps

Date: 5/30/26

In a culture quick to label relationships as "toxic" and walk away, this sermon asks a vital question: What does God expect us to do when relationships become difficult? By examining Scripture's teachings on forgiveness, reconciliation, honor, and healthy boundaries, it helps believers distinguish between ordinary relational struggles and truly destructive relationships, so they can respond in a Christlike way that reflects both grace and truth.

Troy serves as pastor for the congregations in Petaluma and San Francisco Bay Area, California.
