Continuing on in what we’ve labeled the horizontal component of the Beatitudes, Riverside Senior Pastor Jim Shaddix continues his examination of those portions of our text that deal with our relationship to others. We’re talking about a practical holiness for ourselves that involves mercy, forgiveness, pureness of heart, being a peacemaker, and our response to persecution. Join us here on OnePlace as he begins today’s teaching, and speaks of our motivation in all of this.
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”.
