If you're listening in the United States, please don't forget that today is The National Day of Prayer. To find out more, or to seek ways to participate, please check out their website at www.ndop.org.Perhaps the most difficult of all scriptural injunctions given to us, is that which says "Love your enemies." Is this mindset not the most counter cultural of all these life situations that Jesus is teaching on here in Matthew chapter five? Is it the one that the unbelieving world struggles with the most? Please join us today as Pastor Jim Shaddix concludes this message, and the "Raising the Bar" series.
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”.
