Shine Your Light- Marriage

Ephesians 5:22-33

If you want to do one thing to cause strife, strike at marriage.

1+1=1

The duty of the wife is to submit. Christ does not hold us to the ground. A wife should honor and obey and love her husband. Responding love.

First love - attraction love

Wife is called to have responding love.
Husband is to have agape love - lay his life down for his wife.

Children come into a family not a marriage. Husband and wife come into marriage.

Romans 3:23

God wants to take us back to the glory that Adam and Eve had before sin came into the world.

Your righteousness is found in Christ.
This passage shows us Christ's love for his bride. It's not us who makes us right but who we are in - ie in Christ.

Marriage gets attacked the most in the world today.

We need to be a Light in the World and let it shine.

Show our relationship with the One Who saves us.

The enemy will attack our families. Wives to respect our husbands. Husbands are to love their wives. Offspring often happens and a family is formed. Children are often most affected if marriage breaks down.

The Voice of Experience

Bible readings from Sunday 16th January Message: Acts 17:26-27 Galations 6:7 Genesis Chapter 1:1 Eccelesiates Chapter 3 Romans 2:14-15 Ecclesiates 2:18 1 Corinthians chapter 13 Matthew 5:1-12 10 Commandments - Exodus chapter 20:1-17 We want the world to be fair, but it isn't. Our view of what is fair may be different from another's view of what is fair. People deny the existence of God, but that does not mean God does not exist. Walk through Israel and surrounding areas to see historical evidence. Look at creation. Genesis chapter one verse 1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We don't know from one day to the next what will happen but God is our constant. We are not here to build "castles" but to proclaim the Message and when we're done we take the Father's hand and go home. The following story shows us the voice of experience - we can learn a lot from a child's perspective... Sandcastles by
