    Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022
     | 3,023 views

    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

Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

     | 5,360 views

    What people want is a key to purposeful life. They want answers to where they are. They want to grasp something higher and bigger than themselves. They reach for a deeper connection beyond the boring routine of where they live and what they do.

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 15, 2025
     | 178 views

    Nothing like a plague of Biblical proportions to give a nation a bit of a hurry up about returning to God. In Joel's day it was locusts, they had eaten all there was and it was a heads up that; The Day of The Lord was coming. That, and you can't eat what doesn't exist.

    Joel. God wants to give his mercy and grace, and to pour out his love on all people. The book of Joel, the third of our minor prophets is a short read. This book of three chapters, is about God confronting and defeating evil. The name Joel while being a short name contains a lot of meaning; ...read more
