Marriage moment
Wedding season is a wonderful time to reflect on God’s mandate for husbands and wives: to "leave and cleave." This principle, found in Scripture, reminds us that marriage is not only a sacred bond between two people but also a reflection of the intimate union God desires with us. Just as a husband and wife are called to leave behind all other ties and cling to each other, we are called to leave behind all other "gods"—whatever form they may take—and cling to the one true God. We do this by reading His Word, submitting to His authority, and walking in obedience (Deuteronomy 13:4).
In marriage, this is the essential work newlyweds must undertake together. For the sake of their union, they are called to lay down selfishness and anything that might hinder their relationship. By dying to self and choosing to serve one another, they begin to build the kind of marriage God intends. As you attend weddings this summer, will you pray for this to become a reality in the lives of the couples you celebrate? Will you commit to supporting all marriages through prayer? And will you continue to seek and obey God as He does His sanctifying work in your own marriage?
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." — Genesis 2:24

· Laredo Mission Trip Special Offering Results! Last Sunday, our church family came together in a powerful way to support our Laredo mission team of 11 teens and 3 leaders. Through your incredible generosity, $10,458.46 was given in the special offering—wow! Thank you, church, for this amazing outpouring of love and support. Your gifts will go directly toward equipping the next generation of gospel influencers as they bring the good news of Jesus from here to Laredo, TX. We can’t wait to see how God will work through this trip—impacting not only the people they serve, but also transforming the hearts of the team members themselves. Let’s keep them in prayer as they prepare to go!
