You and Me Together
Marriage Ministry Class
September 9 – October 27
Marriage is great, but it’s not forever. It’s until death do us part. Then come
eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives. In his latest
book, Francis Chan and his wife Lisa address the question that many couples
wonder at the altar: “How do I have a great marriage?” In this 7-week class
they set aside typical topics on marriage, diving into scripture to understand
what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest part of our
souls. Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way we have a great
marriage is to not focus on marriage. This study will help you discover the
adventure you were made for and learn how to thrive in it. We request that you
register HERE so we
can plan accordingly. If you have any questions, please email
married@mainstreetlife.org or contact Jeff Burson (419.838.7600 x130).

NEW SERMON SERIES
We Are…
Self-identity is a crucial element to progress. Whether as an individual
or as a collective group, business or entity, you can’t really advance and move
forward if you don’t first know who you are. This 4-week study will help us
unpack who we are as a church and who God is calling us to become.
August 11
…The Church
Selected texts
We are…the Church. We are the church. We are a gathering of the people of God.
We are a spiritual body and family of God who gather in order to worship Him,
learn from Him and serve Him.
August 18
…Pursuing
Selected texts
We are…pursuing. We are pursuing. God sent His son, Jesus to seek and save
those who don’t yet believe. As a church we are about the pursuit of
relationships with people who haven’t yet believed in Christ so that they might
come to believe in Him.
August 25
…Aiming
Selected texts
We are…aiming. We are aiming at a particular target. We are aiming to reach the
people that God has placed in our path. While we want to reach everyone who
doesn’t know Jesus, we recognize that we can’t impact everyone with same level
of effectiveness. So, we are intentionally aiming at families because they are
who God has best positioned us to reach.
September 1
…Engaging
Selected texts
We are…engaging. We are engaging. In the fast-paced world in which we live, we
have to be very intentional about how we engage people with the church. It is a
daily challenge when people have so many options to choose from and
responsibilities to fulfill. We have to continually seek to change in order to
engage people in the pursuit of full devotion to Jesus.
