Perspective vs Postion

Stand, Part 1

June 16, 2019 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Ephesians 1:3–23, Ephesians 6:10–14

The Ultimate Fight

July 21, 2019 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Ephesians 6:10–18, Joshua 1:1–10

Staying In Love

July 14, 2019 • Chris Edmondson, Kim Edmondson • Ephesians 5:18–33

Because it has never been easier to fall in love and get married, but it has never been harder to stay in love and stay married. The key is keeping your marriage relationship the number one priority over every other relationship—except your relationship with God.

As it turns out, sometimes the stuff we overlook winds up being the most important stuff after all. The saying “Don’t sweat the small stuff” turns out to be bad advice. Especially in battle.
