In this message we discuss the roles of husbands and wives in building healthy families where the presence of Jesus is made evident.

Have you every walked into a church and felt uncomfortable during the musical worship? Have you found yourself more ready and willing to participate in listening to a sermon rather than singing a worship song? Here at the end of Ephesians 3, Paul gives a stirring exhortation, imploring us to grasp a love that "surpasses all knowledge--that you may be filled to measure of all the fullness of God". Is there something that singing can give us more than it actually gives to God? Can worship brings us closer than simply studying the Word? Join us as we discover this love that can only be found when we make the journey from our heads to our hearts.

Law is a gift that governs society, but blocks relationship. Paul, an ex-legalist, was sent by God to lead the early church from the courtroom of God into the living room of the Father. How does legalism operate in our lives and how has Jesus set us free to live in the living room with Him?
