Speaker: Kevin Barra Scripture: Proverbs

What does it mean to be a good neighbor, not only to those who live on our streets, but also to those who live in our local community?

Outside of our relationship with Jesus, no relationship in life is as formative as the relationship between a parent and child. It begins before birth, experiences the greatest amount of change over one's life, and when we're in the roll of parent, demands more time and energy than any other relationship we'll ever experience.

How can find friends and become fri...

If you want relationships that will help you know Jesus better and become more like Him, then there is no better place to be than the Church! The Church is God's family, united with one another in Jesus by the Spirit. The Church needs you and you need the Church.

Speaker: Kevin Barra Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-7

We all want good relationships. We all need good relationships. We were all designed in God's image for deep and lasting relationships. Yet none of our relationships work perfectly, and some are downright disastrous. There is hope, however! In the love of our Trinitarian God and in the wisdom of His Word, we find proven principles and supernatural power to restore and grow any and every relationsh...
