Love & Marriage

Marriage is a sacred and meaningful relationship between husbands, wives and God. It’s meaning comes from the way God has designed it to reflect Jesus and his Church. When husbands and wives commit to one another in the Gospel, they are on the path to flourishing in Christ together.

Life in the 21st century comes with a lot of noise. With so many distractions it can be easy to find ourselves caught up in idle activity. Sometimes we all need a little reminder to get back to the meaningful work God has called us to.
Relationships & Dating
Trevor Nashleanas
This is the fourth sermon in a four part sermon series entitled “Sex, Singleness, & Marriage.” When it comes to relationships and dating, most of us are confused at best or downright destructive at worst.

Passion or Purpose?
Trevor Nashleanas

Singles desiring a relationship should be looking for a godly spouse who can help them grow in holiness and happiness, not someone to simply pass the time with. Godly relationships should lead to […]
