Jesus began with just a small group of followers in the territory of Judea. How, then, did we get to the point where there is not only one church in Philadelphia, on the other side of the world, but many?

This week, Pastor Siby Varghese joins us from Seven Mile Road Church to preach on Habakkuk 1:12-2:1. We’ll learn with the prophet that when you don’t understand WHAT God is doing, we can trust WHO God is. We can do that by remembering who God is, wrestling honestly with God, and waiting for what God will do.

Promises are easier to make than to keep, and that includes the covenant promise of marriage. Malachi’s call in this passage is to faithfully guard your spirit in marriage. We’ll look at what faithfulness looks like in who you marry, and what it looks like in how you’re married.
