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.

In this week’s message Pastor Samuel covers these five questions. Do old testament laws and regulations  apply to new testament New Covenant believers. When I pray alone I always pray non verbally. I know that when rebuking it is to be done verbally. Does this also apply to my prayers? Does life west have a membership. How do we know that in 1 Samuel  28:14 Saul was not talking to Samuel. And once we are saved are we always saved?

This week Pastor Samuel continuing the Q&A on healing, faith, and the supernatural. It acknowledged the tension of seeing some healed while others are not, and emphasized that faith grows through hearing God’s Word, while unbelief, familiarity, and lack of honor can limit what we experience. The sermon called for wholehearted commitment to Christ—seeking the Kingdom first and trusting God even when answers don’t look as expected. It reminded us that we don’t search for “thin places,” because as believers filled with the Holy Spirit we are the place, and signs and wonders follow those who live by faith. For the full context, please listen to last week’s sermon as well.

In this message Pastor Samuel teaches that God’s Word is the final authority for life and faith, and believers are called to trust Him. Sickness, disease, and death are not from God, and healing was purchased through Christ and is still for today, though it is not a formula and requires growing faith and honor. Faith is built through God’s Word and lived out through obedience, love, forgiveness, and generosity.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Samuel talks about how God created us for fellowship, not isolation. Just as we cannot grow or thrive alone, our faith and lives are strengthened through relationships. David’s life shows that even the strongest eventually need help, reminding us that everyone needs people around them. Community helps us grow, endure, and go farther than we can on our own—so we should build relationships before we need them and be there for others as well. So get plugged in and be intention with your friendships.

In this message Pastor Samuel calls believers into 21 days of fasting and prayer as a way to quiet distractions, discipline the body, and grow spiritually. Using Daniel’s fast as a model, it explains that fasting is not about speed or deprivation, but about persistence, focus, and seeking understanding from God. Fasting helps turn down competing voices—media, entertainment, and negative influences—so God’s voice can be heard more clearly.

The teaching emphasizes that what you feed thrives and what you starve dies. By starving the flesh and feeding the spirit through prayer, worship, and meditation on God’s Word, believers position themselves for breakthrough, wisdom, spiritual maturity, and obedience. Pray about what kind of fast God is leading you to do, be specific about what you’re seeking, write it down, worship intentionally, and meditate on Scripture—not just hear it. The ultimate goal is to seek God first, live set apart, and be fully available for God’s purposes, trusting Him to provide everything else.
