“My body, my choice,” right? One of the biggest controversies in our culture today is the debate of pro-life vs. pro-choice, so it’s important we know how to think through it with a biblical perspective. In this message, we test three common arguments for abortion against what God’s Word has to say about it.

When you get married, you’re not just saying “yes” to a wedding, but you’re agreeing to a whole lot more.

In this message, we talk about how we can take off the mask when we have authentic community with people who know us fully.
