REALationships Finale: When Two Women Changed History 💫

We closed our REALationships series with the powerful story of Ruth and Naomi—two women whose unbreakable bond literally led to the birth of Jesus! Even through devastating loss and uncertain futures, their relationship demonstrates exactly what love in action looks like.

Relationship wisdom we’re carrying forward:
1) Stay loyal when walking away seems easier
2) Speak truth without being offensive
3) Listen without getting defensive
4) Don’t let life’s disruptions distract you from what matters

These women show us that commitment through chaos doesn’t just change your story—it can change history.

Missed this powerful message? Don’t worry! We’re saving you a spot this Saturday for the start of our new series. Same authentic community, fresh perspective!

⏰ 11AM God Discovery | 12PM Worship

"God didn't deliver you from that toxic situation

"God didn't deliver you from that toxic situation just for you to keep the door unlocked." 🔑
Ever catch yourself looking back at what you THOUGHT you wanted, trying to convince yourself "this time will be different"?

@adelinepiotrowski just called us ALL out.

Remember Lot? My man chose the "greener pastures" of Sodom based on what LOOKED good, ignoring the red flags. That choice didn't just cost him his peace—it nearly cost him everything.

Yet here we are, sometimes doing the same:
"I know they gaslit me, but I can change them"
"I know these friends lead me to sin, but I'm strong enough"
BeLOVE family, when God rescues you from toxicity, you don't have to stand at the edge looking back like Lot's wife did.

Because here's the beautiful truth: Christ CHOSE what didn't feel good—betrayal, rejection, and pain—so we could live FREE from the power of toxic patterns. He didn't die for you to keep circling back to what's killing your spirit.

This Saturday, we're continuing our REALationships series with more truth that sets us free!

"Sometimes God's plans look nothing like your wish

"Sometimes God's plans look nothing like your wishlist, but exactly like what you need." 🙌
Ever get caught in the gap between your expectations and your reality? @adelinepiotrowski dropped this truth bomb: Mary and Joseph never planned their lives to unfold this way, but God knew what they needed was greater than what they wanted.
That's the real relationship lesson—letting go of our "ideal" checklists to receive what God knows we truly need. It might not look 100% like what you envisioned, but it will be 100% what your life requires.
This Saturday, we're continuing our REALationships series with more wisdom that challenges our perspectives and transforms our connections!

💫 Swipe to see what went down at BeLOVE Saturday!

We had an energetic, Spirit-filled Saturday at BeLOVE Church! Here’s what went down:

1) The Worship Team brought the ENERGY! We appreciate all the hard work that goes into leading us in music week in and week out! 🎤

2) We welcomed @yvette.badu as a member of the BeLOVE church family! 🤗

3) @adelinepiotrowski delivered a powerful message reminding us to let go of our ideal lists in relationships and work with God so that we can receive what He freely gives, instead of settling for what is temporary. We journeyed through the stories of Lot, King Saul/David, and Jesus to see the difference between trusting God’s list vs. our own. 📝

4) BeLOVE NextGen and the Outreach Team performed a street clean-up in NE, doing our part to keep DC a clean and enjoyable place for residents and visitors alike! 🧹

Missed out? Don’t worry, we’ll share clips from the message throughout the week! But nothing beats the real thing—join us next Saturday at 11AM for God Discovery and 12PM for Worship Service at 907 Maryland Ave NE!

Baptism is the best part 🌊 Baptism isn’t jus

Baptism is the best part 🌊

Baptism isn’t just a church tradition—it’s the physical moment your REALationship with God becomes visible.

As Pastor Vic reminded our sister Mya, with Jesus you’re:
• Protected when life gets rocky
• Promoted by a God who elevates you instead of competing with you
• Present with a Father who never leaves

Congratulations to Mya on taking this powerful step of faith last Saturday! Her courage inspires us all.

Feeling that nudge to make your relationship with God official? You haven’t missed your chance! DM us to get set up for our next Baptism Saturday.

Tomorrow we continue our REALationships series! Join the BeLOVE family:

Competition or promotion? Your circle reveals the truth.

Last Saturday, Pastor Vic unpacked the powerful friendship between David and Jonathan, highlighting something we all need: friends who genuinely celebrate our success.

While Jonathan’s father (King Saul) was busy plotting against David out of jealousy, Jonathan was actively promoting his friend’s purpose. That’s the difference between surface connections and REALationships.

Ask yourself: Do your friends hype you up even when you’re outshining them? Or do they only celebrate you when you’re not threatening their spotlight?

Looking for authentic community in DC? Our doors are open! Join us at 907 Maryland Ave NE every Saturday at 12 Noon as we continue our REALationships series.

DM us with questions or just show up—either way, you’ll find real connections here.
