Monday, August 9, 2021 Life is best when lived with a community of believers – Get in a Community Group!
From Pastor Roger… Let’s circle back…. A few months ago, we spent some time talking about a core value of ours as a church. We preached about it, spent time with it in other ways. That core value is “Life is best when lived with a community of believers.” Simply Put: It’s our desire that everyone would get into a Community Group. This is one of the fundamental building blocks of our discipleship process. It’s the one that that makes a difference long-term in people’s spiritual life. You see, people make decisions to follow God at seminars (Think prophecy seminars?), but they stick by those decisions when they are in a small group, a Community Group, where they build community, growth and accountability.Â

Pornography destroys lives. We often think of it as a marriage killer, but the truth is, the seeds of destruction are often planted long before a person is even consideringmarriage.
Our youths are particularly susceptible to the allure and destruction of pornography, and they must be protected.
That’s why Covenant Eyes has partnered with Axis on a summit all about Porn, Shame, and the Christian Teen.
We want to give you the tools to fight pornography where it historically hides the best. After this free 3-day virtual summit, you will be better equipped to understand the problem of pornography and how to help our youth stand against it.
