Today, we reach the conclusion of this series “The Devil Made Me Do It – Overcoming Temptation the Way Jesus Did”. We hope your understanding of temptation has been deepened, and that all temptation a person might face, fall under one of these three temptations that Jesus faced in Matthew chapter four. Specifically, in today’s conclusion, we look at what can, and does, displace the appeal of status. Quoting Pastor Shaddix; “ If you’re leading a lifestyle that is consumed with the worship of Jesus Christ, then there’s no way that you’ll be able to give yourself to the pursuit of greater status in this life.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”.
