Song_of_Solomon 1:9-2:4
When a kindergartner heads off to school it is ideal that they have some basics down before entering the classroom. It is simply easier on everyone if the student can write their name, knows their ABCs, and can count to twenty. While a dating relationship is never simple, we can learn how to make it easier by applying basic biblical principles.

| Song_of_Solomon 1 (NKJV™) | |
| 9 | I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots. |
| 10 | Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains of gold. |
| 11 | THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver. |
| 12 | THE SHULAMITE While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. |
| 13 | A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts. |
| 14 | My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi. |
| 15 | THE BELOVED Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes. |
| 16 | THE SHULAMITE Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green. |
| 17 | The beams of our houses are cedar, And our rafters of fir. |
| Song_of_Solomon 2 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys. |
| 2 | THE BELOVED Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters. |
| 3 | THE SHULAMITE Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste. |
| 4 | THE SHULAMITE TO THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love. |

Who We Are:
We pursue the God who is passionately pursuing a lost world; we do this with one another, through worship, by the Word, to the world.
What We Do:
Upreach
We express our adoration of Jesus through dynamic worship and uncompromised obedience.
Inreach
We explain the relevance of the Bible to empower and transform lives for service.
Outreach
We extend hope to a hurting world by proclaiming the gospel and demonstrating Christ's love.
Our Beliefs
We Believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all.
We Believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
We Believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in Holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answers prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through faith in Jesus Christ.
We Believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit.
We Believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teaching, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to earth.
We Believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all that believe in Jesus Christ for ministry.
We Believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We Believe that all people are sinners by nature and choice and, therefore, are under condemnation; that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit, those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
We Believe that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and empowers the believers for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
We Believe in the universal church, the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the head, and all regenerated persons are members.
We Believe that Jesus committed two ordinances to the church: 1) Baptism and, 2) the Lord's Supper. We believe in baptism by immersion and communion open to all believers.
We Believe also in the laying on of hands for baptism of the Holy Spirit, for ordination of pastors, elders, and deacons, and receiving from the Holy Spirit through the believer the gift of healing.
We Believe in the personal, visible return of Christ to the earth and the establishing of His Kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment and eternal blessing of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
We Believe in what is termed the Apostles Creed as embodying the fundamental facts of Christian faith.

From the Series:
Beyond the Summer of Love
The 1960s promised us an explosion of love and brotherhood, but instead they delivered a nation in turmoil, confusion, and moral decline. In this series, Skip Heitzig and the Calvary pastors tell us about God's solution for damaged families, His guide for successful marriage, and how to restore a relationship that has been damaged by sin. This series will take you beyond the easy, simplistic slogans of man, and back toward the plan of our loving heavenly Father.
