This week we begin a three week teaching series on Sacred Parenting. As Christian parents we are called to know, to remember and to grow when it comes to God-centered parenting. All this for the good of our children, but even above that, for the glory of God. As we begin we will lay such a foundation as we focus on our faithful God who keeps covenant with families.

We conclude our five week teaching series on marriage this week with looking at what God has to say about sex. God has much to say about everything, even sex. God created sex for His glory. He longs for us to have right thinking and proper practice when it comes to sex.

The spiritual aroma of your marriage fills the whole house. This week we will see how grace must fill a marriage. It is what makes a home smell sweet of God's pleasure.

We continue this week through our five week teaching series on marriage. Marriage is treated casually and aimlessly in our culture. But God has a different view of marriage. This Sunday we are asking these questions: What if God didn’t design marriage to be easy? What if God had a different end in mind that went beyond our happiness and comfort? What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? What if we had this perspective? This week we will look at marriage through this lens.

On this Mother’s Day we are going to look at the fear of God through womanhood. Then come Father’s Day we will look at the same thing through manhood. The fear of God is crucial to marriage. Today we will see the fear of God described in this sacred context.

Join us this week as we begin a five week teaching series on marriage. Marriage is treated casually and aimlessly in our culture. But God has a different view of marriage. In fact, He is the creator of marriage. He has given it a sacred purpose. As we launch into this series we begin with God, His design and His displaying purpose in marriage.

What are you paying attention to? What are you constantly being nourished on? Are you engaged with the disciplines of the Christian life? Paul tells the young pastor, Timothy, that we should discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness because it is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. Today we will look at four sacred spokes that are huge to the motion and movement of our life with Christ: The Word, Prayer, Fellowship, and Witness. These are individual and corporate disciplines that we need to pay attention to, be nourished on and engaged in.

As we move from celebrating Holy Week we continue to see that the sacred love of God displayed in His Son's death, burial and resurrection should continually impact our life. We will look at Hebrews 10.19-25 this week. In this Scripture we are encouraged by the sacred love of Christ to boldly and actively live in a growing, love relationship both with God and other believers even amidst the pressures of life in this world.

On this night we look back to the Lord’s Last Supper. Maundy Thursday, gets its name from the Latin word mandatum —commandment, remembering Jesus’ words to the Apostles during the Last Supper, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). The last supper and the dealings of Christ surrounding this meal and especially following it displays the complete love of Jesus.

Today we will wrap up our messages on our sacred calling as God’s people to evangelize (share the gospel). We will see through the Passover story (Exodus 12.1-13) the call to bring the Lamb into our family, homes and neighborhood. This is not just any lamb but the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who takes away the sin of the world.
