Called to a Covenant

February 17, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

Everyone is affected by divorce. Whether you've been divorced or experienced it in your family or friendships, it's a reality. No matter your state in marriage, understand that God loves you dearly and wants the best for you. In today's message, Pastor Rick explains what the Scriptures teach – and do not teach – about divorce and remarriage. Because God is a covenant God, he takes our marriage commitment seriously. But at the same time, those who are divorced are not second-class Christians who must live under a cloud of guilt. Listen in and learn more.

Single Minded

January 20, 2019 • Pastor Rick Friesen

God does not view the unmarried as second-class citizens. All of His promises to the married – his love, care, provision, mercy and comfort – apply to those who are single. The key to happiness is found in seeking God rather than a mate. When we put Him first, God may choose to bring a spouse into our lives. Or He may not. But either way, He has our best interests in mind.

December 30, 2018 • Pastor Rick Friesen

When we make marriage in our own image, it becomes a disaster. The good news: God has ground rules for relationships. Pastor Rick Friesen begins the series “Beautiful Messy Marriage” with a focus on Genesis 2:18-25.
