Today we conclude “Pointing People To Jesus”; a message from Pastor Jim Shaddix that is directly tied to an upcoming event here in Denver, Colorado. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is hosting “Rock the Range”; a youth and family oriented event featuring contemporary Christian music artists, and the gospel presentation as only Franklin Graham can give.
If you know anything about BGEA, you know that their outreach to the lost and hurting centers around “Operation Andrew”; which simply put, is people who know Christ, inviting those who don’t to hear the gospel. Within Operation Andrew are 2 emphases; prayer, and the actual invite to participate. This is where you come in. We know that most people reading this are nowhere near Denver, but we can and will ask you to pray. Pray that hundreds, if not thousands, who don’t have that life-saving relationship with Christ, will accept the invitation to attend.

Marriage…. It is, and has been a foundational part of civilized cultures all over the world. But, in case you hadn’t yet heard, traditional marriage has become a very politicized subject, with many special interest groups attempting to push their definition of marriage.
In 2006, Pastor Jim, preached a series of messages on marriage entitled, “The Mystery of Marriage”. No, this was NOT a commentary on the current political quagmire, but instead, a biblical review of the origins and significance of marriage. Based in Ephesians, “The Mystery of Marriage” looks at God’s purposes for marriage, the roles and responsibilities for men and women in marriage, and finally, the impact of culture’s attempts to re-define marriage.
So, whether you’re a newlywed, a marriage veteran of many years, or you are just now contemplating marriage, you’ll benefit greatly in hearing this biblical blueprint for the realities and issues of marriage. Join us for “The Mystery of Marriage”.Dr. Jim Shaddix has been the Senior Teaching Pastor of Riverside Baptist Church in Denver, Colorado, since 2005.
