The warfare continues and the people of God must maintain the determination required to follow God and advance His Kingdom.

A Strong Marriage Foundation For You & Your Church in Turbulent Times
TED BICHSEL
This workshop focuses on what is happening and how can we respond, help, and possibly de-escalate the mass corrosion taking place in marriage within and outside of our churches? Foundations are always poured first. Then the building starts. This workshop will connect two important truths. First, God’s Word is the foundation for marriage from Genesis to Revelation. Second, is your personal marriage foundation strong enough to be built on? A successful ministry to marriages is based on biblical truth over the current trends of the times. Hebrews 13:4 challenges us see marriages honored by all. Believers and unbelievers alike. Foundations are the key.
