Staying in Love - Multiple Choice


1 Corinthians 13 is a popular passage from the Bible that many couples include in their wedding ceremonies. Its description of love is inspiring. Yet, upon further examination, you'll also find specific instructions that, when applied, will result in long-lasting, love-filled relationships.

How can two people stand at an altar and swear they will love each other until "death do us part" and then just a few years later hate each other more than they have ever hated anyone?

Go Fish: It Was This Big!



Based on the story in 2 Kings 7:3-11 this service will center around the idea that is stated in verse 9 of the story:

"This is not right. This is a day of good news, and we aren't sharing it with anyone!"
