It's Complicated: "The Right Person"
Marriage is a good thing, but it's not the ultimate thing. And relationships get complicated when it gets elevated to a place it was never meant to hold. Nobody can bear the weight of being our ultimate joy. In this message, Jordan Rice explores 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 to redefine what a gift is, and to reorder what's ultimate in our lives.

One Life for Another
February 9th. 2016.
One Life for Another by Lester Kim
Luke 19:1-10
"If I am a cosmic accident springing from dust and destined for more dust, then I am nothing. I am a joke – a tale told by an idiot. But if my ultimate roots are grounded in eternity and my destiny is anchored in that same eternity, then I... am a creature of eternal significance." – R.C. Sproul
We are no longer defined by our past but we are defined by what Jesus in the past has done for us. Jesus has rescued us from our past broken life and given us a new life and new way of living through and for Him.
