We're looking at the 3rd temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4, and asking "What does this temptation look like for us?" (and there seems to be a uniquely American answer to the question). We began talking about it last Friday. The problem is believers giving more time, energy, and resources to the pursuit of earthly things than the pursuit of God's righteousness and His Kingdom. Join us again today as Pastor Jim Shaddix fleshes out the issue and its contribution to the erosion of the church's influence in the culture.Series: The Devil Made Me Do It!
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”.
