Upside Down Kingdom | Matthew 19:1-15The Kingdom Has Come

Oh boy...! Marriage, divorce, adultery, sex, singleness, gender. Jesus spoke into the high calling of marriage and singleness, yet he is far from being a bigot! What is really the secret to a happy life? Is it contingent on my marital condition or status? Join us this weekend for a look at what Jesus said about these things.

DATE: September 19 - 20, 2020
SPEAKER: Lead Pastor, Bobby Parschauer
TAGS: God’s Word | Marriage
