Yesterday, Jim Shaddix, senior pastor of the Riverside church in Denver and featured speaker her on Hope For Today, began the 3rd message of his series "Perversion of the Picture - Distorting God's Design". The main thrust of the message is to further our understanding in how homosexuality distorts the picture of Christ's love for His church. Looking primarily at Romans chapter one, Jim points to a series of man-driven exchanges designed to minimize a Holy God; that is, the exchange of the glory of the Creator for the glory of the creature, the exchange of the truth of God for a lie, and the exchange of the natural for the unnatural.
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”.
