Welcome to Redemption

Prayer is a mystery.  Some people swear by its power; others are skeptical and say praying is like believing in magic.  With this sermon series, we will explore prayer in its many forms and we will honestly address the questions people ask, such as:

* Who does prayer change - people or God?  Neither?  Both?

* If God knows what people need, then why do we have to say it?

* What does it mean when prayers go unanswered?

* Is there a "right" way to pray?

If you have a question about prayer to share with Pastor Eric, please email it to redemptioneric@gmail.com.  Thank you, and we hope to see you for this important series.

Is marriage dead?

Is [your] marriage dead?

For thousands of years, the institution of marriage has played a vital role in human societies.  Now, for the first time ever, many are saying that marriage's days are numbered.  But does this have more to do with marriage, or with our self-centered ideal of romance? Marriage probably can't survive in a me-first world in which some people believe to be happily married means your spouse should make you happy all the time (emotionally, sexually, socially, etc).

In truth, marriage was never meant to be bliss for self-centered people; it's a covenant.  And when you do it right, it's painful (like a cross) and beautiful (like a resurrection).

Join us for a series of conversations about love and marriage.  Regardless of where you are on the journey (single, dating, co-habitating, engaged, married, widowed, or divorced, straight or gay), this series will enrich and inspire you as we learn how to create and nurture covenant relationships that last.
