The 50's movie The Blob is a great metaphor for sin. Just like the strange and slimy matter in the movie, sin seems to become part of us, and cannot be easily removed. In fact, every believer's lament is drawn from today's text, when Paul says, "I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate." Join us here on Hope for Today as Riverside Leadership Pastor Dennis Blythe continues his introductory message "Sin That's Hard To Shake".Series: Sin That's Hard To Shake
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”.
