We begin the series by introducing the often neglected book of Philemon, a simple book of the Bible that portrays both the beauty and difficulty of relationships. This week we will see how God has uniquely designed relationships to bless our lives.

Guest speaker, Pastor Damian Boyd of Vertical Church ATL, speaks to us about God's heart for our neighbors.

Lead Pastor Rob McDowell teaches on God's heart for the nations.

Parenting is one of God’s major tools for sanctification. God uses two imperfect people to guide, protect and sacrifice for small people who will never fully appreciate them or what they’ve done until they are parents themselves. The cost is great, but the reward for both parents and children is priceless.

One of the great struggles in all marriages is conflict. No matter who you are or where you’re from, it is impossible to always agree with someone. Especially when you live and are raising a family together. So how do we respectfully disagree with our spouse, while not destroying or humiliating them? This week, with Scripture as the primary guide, adults and couples will be encouraged to fight fair.

Week 3 in the series Team Us. Once the team has come together, a shift takes place. For some, this shift happens over night. For others, it takes many years. This is the shift from ME to WE. This week, we will explore the key ingredient of humility and submission to one another in order to properly move from ME to WE.

God created marriage to be a team venture. But how does, and more importantly, how should the team come together. This week, we will explore the progression from, “Nice to meet you” to “I Do!” with specific emphasis on how God has called us to prepare our people for marriage.

As we begin the Team Us teaching series, we will discuss the end goal of marriage: Eternity. Having a picture of where you are going greatly helps you get there.

Next Sunday is Easter. In the Christian world, this time of year brings with it great anticipation, excitement, and worship. As we prepare to celebrate the gospel together, two things will grow and enhance our ability to do this collectively: Prayer and Fasting. Both of these things are forms of worship. Fasting is how we worship God through dependence upon Him rather than earthly materials or sustenance. Prayer is how we connect and communicate with this loving God and express our heart and worship to Him.

Worship is revelation and response. The goodness of God is revealed in all of life, but the Word of God is the primary place of revelation. One of the best ways we can worship God beyond a song is setting aside time to read and study His Word each day. Every time we do this, worship takes place. We receive God’s revelation and respond according to what’s been revealed. The Word renews our mind and transforms the way we live. The desire for this week is that adults leave and desire to spend time in God’s Word, growing in their love and worship of Him.
