The Lion and the Lamb

Who’s the Boss?

Marriage in the Bible can be misunderstood, and it often leads to questions of who should be the boss in our relationships.

In this sermon, Greg shows how to interpret these passages and see the bigger picture when it comes to our relationships.

Topics: Controversial Issues, Marriage, Role of Women


Widows in the Kingdom

• Abe Johnson

Topics: Community, Family, Money

• Jonathan Martin

"So many thanks for your wonderful messages and all you give to the world around you. I'm retired in Ecuador with no churches so really appreciate your online presence. So many Christians discourage questions, so this is refreshing, as are the Q&A sessions."
