The Well

They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But marriages have to be lived out right here on Earth! It’s no secret that men and women don’t always understand one another. But God does, and He’s given us a blueprint for marriage that works. For the next couple of days, Ron takes us to the Song of Solomon to show what wives need from their husbands.  

Do you actively seek God’s will? Or are you going through the motions, hoping that the will of God agrees with your plans and desires? On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro continues our new study in the book of Jonah as we learn what happens when we disobey the will of God.

There is a battle raging inside you every single day! Two natures are competing for control over your life: the sinful nature that you were born with, and the new nature that you have been given in Jesus. Pastor Jeff will teach you today that to fully embrace your new nature, you must put the old nature to rest. You have been freed of your slavery to sin, but you still need to immerse yourself in God’s Word to break free of the last remaining shackles on your life and begin your new life in Christ.

Some people say they don’t want to go to Heaven because it’ll be boring. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy challenges this assumption with the truth of Scripture. Learn how in Heaven, we’ll be discovering the beauty and love of God, while exploring new, wondrous worlds!

Join Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd today as they discuss what it means when your teen no longer smiles — and why parents shouldn’t ignore it. Mark explains that a missing smile is often a sign of deeper sadness, frustration or depression, and an invitation for parents to lean in with compassion. He encourages parents to respond with humility, honest conversation and a willingness to change. Ultimately, the goal is not to make them smile so you can feel like a better parent, but because you are deeply concerned about their heart.

If you're struggling with your teen, we encourage you to join Mark in Texas at one of his Families in Crisis Conferences. To learn more and register, visit familycrisisretreat.com

We live in an instant society. Heat up something in the microwave in seconds, not minutes or hours. Get a message to someone on the other side of the planet in a split second, not days or weeks. Should it be any wonder then why we assume our prayers shouldn’t happen lickety-split? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie says, as it happens, God’s clocks run on a different schedule than ours. We’ll see our timing is often impetuous . . . His timing is always perfect.
