In this weeks message Pastor Samuel and Becca talk about how marriage is designed as a life long commitment, not a contract. It is two different people coming together not to complete each other but to complement one another. They talk about how unity does not mean uniformity. Marriage is God joining a man and a woman into one. When you get married you become all in on the relationship, that relationship is your relationship there is no plan B. There will be disagreements, but you fight for each other, not against each other. If you want the best in your marriage follow Gods plan and design for marriage.

In this message Pastor Samuel and Becca talk about how marriage takes work. There is no right person where everything will always be perfect, your relationship will take work. 1 Corinthians 7:28 says “…But those who marry will face many troubles in this life…” Love is a choice that has to be made everyday. When we believe the best and continue to pursue our spouses and do its Gods way we can have a thriving marriage. Keep making relationship deposits keep loving each other keep turning to God for guidance and don’t stop putting effort into your relationship.

In this week’s sermon Pastor Samuel and Becca Vander Klok talk about relationships. Speaking about how christians are called to live differently than the world. God designed marriage from the beginning and sex is a gift meant only for marriage. They also talk about how believers are called to purity, self-control, and healthy boundaries in relationships. If you stay single you are not missing part of something because in the Bible God says the two become one not the half become one. Following Gods design for relationship and family is different from the worlds but following his design always leads to better outcomes.

We share personal stories and Biblical foundations, such as Ephesians 5, to outline God's design for marriage. We discuss the roles of husbands and wives, including the often misunderstood concept of submission, emphasizing that it is a form of love and protection, not control. We explore the importance of making decisions together, building our lives on the foundation of God's Word, and having a vision for our families. You'll hear candid stories about learning and overcoming mistakes, along with encouragement for husbands and wives to support each other through difficult times, always keeping in mind that God's way is the best way.
