God designed marriage for something far greater than our happiness here on earth. It's meant to reflect His love and point others toward Him.

After 33 years of marriage, Francis and Lisa Chan share how keeping an eternal perspective has shaped their relationship, their family, and the decisions they've made together. They challenge us to look beyond the expectations we place on our spouses and consider what it means to live in a manner worthy of the gospel.

When Jesus becomes the center of our lives, marriage takes on a greater purpose. It's no longer just about building a happy life together, but about helping each other live for what lasts forever.

Our desire to defend what's true can sometimes distract us from the very thing God has called us to do: love one another.

In this Staff Talk, Francis shares what he's been learning from Romans 14 about navigating disagreements within the body of Christ. Reflecting on the tension between theological convictions and loving others well, Francis reminds us that being right isn't the ultimate goal. God calls us to pursue something greater - righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

This is an invitation to examine how we treat those who see things differently and to remember that the people we disagree with are people Christ died for.

There’s a difference between knowing things about Jesus and truly seeing Him for who He is.

In this message, Francis reflects on the beauty and supremacy of Christ described in Colossians 1 - the One who created all things, holds all things together, and gave His life to reconcile us to God. He reminds us that we were created for Jesus, and nothing else can satisfy the soul the way His presence can.

Following Jesus is more than a belief system or a commitment to live a moral life. It begins with seeing the glory of Christ and discovering that He really is enough.
