     | 5,236 views

    Since the Church has too long tolerated the teaching of our culture on sexuality and sexuaol relationships, it's time to speak up about building quality relationships.

    “Building Quality Relationships: With Jesus – Develop Healthy Partners” Eph. 5:3-8; 1 Cor. 6:9-20 Sometimes the words of Scripture hit me in the gut. In preparation for today’s message I was directed to such words, from Jesus Himself. In Rev. 2:19 Jesus commends the Church ...read more

    A great mistake when we talk about money in the church is that we often do it in the context of a special appeal or a crisis situation.
