Look at today's title. We hear the word "oath" and think of a courtroom situation, and the phrase "Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" But what about the more deeply personal, spiritual oaths in life like marriage vows, or the promise to raise up a child in the fear and admonition of the Lord? Join us here today as Teaching Pastor Jim Shaddix concludes this message, and appeals to all of us to more fully understand the commitments we make unto the Lord.
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”.
