A Lifelong Love
Led by Pastor Jay Jentink
Gary Thomas believes couples often settle for too little when it comes to marriage. We fail to understand how deeply God cares about our spouse. We diminish our need to not only understand what biblical love really is, but also to become a people who excel at it. We let ourselves drift apart instead of making the daily choices to grow closer together.
Whether your marriage needs a complete makeover, a touch up, or just a new purpose, this video series based on Gary’s book, A Lifelong Love, promises to set your relationship on an entirely new dimension. You will never look at worship or your spouse in the same way again. Gary will guide you through the power shifts and seasonal mine fields that blow up so many marriages, so that you can grow in your love instead of in your disappointment.
Session Titles:
- A Magnificent Obsession
- Bigger Than You Think
- Building a Marriage That Lasts
- I Do, and I Will
- The Spirituality of Sex
- God’s Design for Sex
- Your Greatest Need
- Love, Not Desire

Twelve Extraordinary Women
(Elective for Teen Girls)
Led by Mindy Slippy, Sondra Smale, Keri Howard, and Marla Hoy
Discover how true faith can leave a lasting legacy with a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible’s most faithful women. Come and take a deeper look at women who were ordinary, common, and in some cases even ostracized and rejected by society, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.
In Twelve Extraordinary Women, bestselling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows you that the God to whom they were so faithful is the same God who continues to mold and guide you today. As you meet these women in Scripture and get to know more about their lives and characters, they will challenge you, motivate you, encourage you, and inspire you with love for the God whom they trusted, served, and loved.
Throughout this study, we will learn about Eve, Sarah, Rahab, and Mary, the mother of Jesus. If you are a teen girl in 7th–12th grade, please join us!
