Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022

Christianity is a call to be selfless. To think of others needs more highly than yourself. In Christian marriage we are called to think of our spouses needs before our own needs.

We all know how easy it is to tear down. You could spend one hour building a sandcastle. It can be destroyed with one swift kick. It is easy to see the dust in someone else’s eye and overlook the plank in your own. In this message on Christian marriage I really just want you to look at half of it. ...read more

Maybe You Need To Grow Up

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014

The end of the world is coming. Even if the end doesn't come in our lifetime, everyone dies at some point. This fact serves as a constant and urgent reminder that our goal as followers of Jesus is to go to heaven and we want to take as many others with us as we can.

As a church we talk a lot about spiritual growth. This is our mission statement "we exist to increase and mature God's people." This process of increasing and maturing is called Discipleship. It's a big Bible Word but it has a simple meaning. A disciple of Jesus is a follower or even more ...read more
