Marriage, Christ, and Covenant: One Flesh for the Glory of God

Jan 28 – Jul 1, 2007

Marriage is a momentary but glorious gift. It is more than a husband’s and wife’s love for each other — vastly more. Its meaning is infinitely great: the display of the covenant-keeping love between Jesus and his people.

Quest for Joy

Jan 8 – Mar 26, 1989
