The Well

There’s just no getting around it. If you’re married, you will have conflict. But one of the ways to turn these valleys into victories is to remember why you married one another in the first place. Today, Ron takes a deep dive into the subject of conflict resolution as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Secrets of a Satisfying Marriage: Relationship Wisdom from the Song of Solomon.” 

The most important person at any public pool or beach is the lifeguard. While they will spend 99% of their time doing nothing but watching the waters, they are always vigilant to save someone if they start to sink below the surface of the water. Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize today that God is the ultimate lifeguard for your life! When things get difficult, and you start to look at the waves around you and start to sink, He will be right there to pull you out. He will never let you drown in the storm!

God is righteous, wise, and perfectly just. Yet despite our sinful and rebellious hearts He provides a way of salvation, is faithful to forgive us, and then chooses to work through us!

Society has been experiencing the weight of trials and troubles brought to us by a fallen world. But on this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy reminds us that God provides believers with the strength to persevere and the confidence that, one day, all our struggles will cease.

Join Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur today as they discuss the power of perspective when parenting teens, and why it matters more than simply sharing opinions. Mark explains that teens are surrounded by loud opinions everywhere, but what they truly need from parents is calm, experience-based wisdom that helps them see the bigger picture. Instead of rushing to “fix” their problems, parents can offer perspective, listen well and let teens think through decisions on their own. Ultimately, sharing perspective builds connection, invites ongoing conversation, and helps teens grow in maturity and confidence.
