If you were with us last week, you know we’ve covered a lot of ground in regards to the subject of divorce. We’ve learned that it is something that, for the most part, is outside of God’s original design for the relationship between a man and a woman. We’ve also learned that it is mainly the persistent hardness of our hearts that fuel the current divorce rate of today. But is there such a thing as a “biblical divorce”? Join us here on Hope For Today at OnePlace, as teaching pastor Jim Shaddix examines the actual circumstances that meet the biblical criteria for divorce.
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”.
