This week we examine God’s blueprint for marriage as outlined in Genesis 2:24-25, where we discover the promise of priority.
In marriage, God sees a couple as one unit. When a couple says, “I do,” God super-glues them together in a lifelong union. So our first promise that we need to reaffirm to our spouse is, “Next to Jesus Christ, you are my top priority.”
When it comes to ourselves we all like second chances! This week we dig into the third chapter of Jonah which has been called, ‘The gospel of the second chance’. This chapter shows that God is waiting for us to take advantage of second chances to serve Him and this is truly good news.
In the second chapter of Jonah, we find a man at prayer. We see three important components of Jonah’s prayer life:(1) confession, (2) praise, and (3) repentance.
Old Testament prophets served as the voice of Israel’s conscience. Today we’ll begin a look at the prophet Jonah.

You are growing as a…
The beautiful story of Jesus’ birth found in Matthew leads us to the amazing fact that God Almighty became a human and dwelt among us, earning the name Immanuel, or “God with us”. To fully understand this name, we must grapple with both the humanity and the deity of Jesus.
Even Jesus’ birth evoked violent opposition and that opposition resulted in horrible tragedy. By studying this story we will learn three lessons: (1) Jesus’ entrance into the world evokes opposition, (2) God works in unexpected ways, and (3) the whole Bible is really about Jesus!
