As we’ve already noted, the thrust of this message addresses more than just the ritual of a graduation. All of life’s changes will usher in new philosophies, doctrines, and challenges, all of which assist in shaping our worldview. Some of these can be real pitfalls for Christians. Things like relativism, universalism, humanism, and individualism can potentially open doors to us that should never be entered. Join us today for the conclusion of, “The Gospel & the Graduate”.
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.
