Biblical Womanhood Genesis 2:15-25 A couple months ago, near the beginning of our study on the family, I presented a message titled, “Man in God’s Image.” In that study, we looked at the creation of human beings in God’s image. We noted the likenesses of our Creator that we humans, both male and female, exhibit. […]
Are you satisfied with your life? Do you long for something better, something new, something different? Our materialistic world philosophy ties everything to money.

Ephesians 5:25-33 Many men in our culture, and even in the Church, have little understanding concept of the real meaning of love. If you dispute that, just look at the divorce rates, and the division in churches. Furthermore, our text for today from Ephesians chapter five, sets a very high standard for husbands to follow. […]
