Open Arms Church

For us to live in obedience to God we need a proper understanding of this grace that he so generously pours out for us. As Matthew Henry says - Grace in the soul is new life. As death locks up the senses and seals up all the powers, the faculties, and anything that is good. Grace unlocks, opens all and enlarges the soul!

Easter Sunday: Light has the power to drive out darkness and we are called to be the "light of the world". God can use us to be light in dark places.

 

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." - John 1:5

GRACE is unmerited favour... it's getting what we don't deserve & God is God of grace - we cannot earn his love or salvation we just accept the free gift... but we know, getting to that place of acceptance can be challenging!

The conclusion of our Relationship Restart series - looking at our relationship with God. God has established a new covenant with us where it's no longer about us reaching up to Him but Him reaching down to us!

As we continue with our Relationship Restart series, we draw some wisdom from our pastor Elizabeth Booth, from the perspective of a wife, daughter and mother. ** Mother's Day Special **

As singles, we can look for the "happy ever after" but have you thought about how you're living your life in preparation for the one you're looking for?

Covenant marriage is worth fighting for because marriage is a beautiful thing. Whether you're married, in a relationship or single, it's good to know how God has designed marriage and how to make marriages successful in a world where great marriages seems like a hopeless idea.

The goal of a follower of Jesus, striving to have a covenant family, is to build a culture in your home that is stronger than the culture in the world.

Having successful friendships starts with you becoming a good friend first.

We always attract who we are, so we need to work out in ourselves, the things and types of people we would like to attract in our own lives.

We all have relationships, whether it's with a spouse, friend, or family and those relationships can be difficult. We have 3 primary relationships: God, Self & Others - if one of these relationships is damaged it affects all the others but in Jesus there's hope and a new way in which we can develop successful relationships!
