Today we will look at Gods plan and purpose for marriage and some of the most common problems we face in the most important relationship we have apart from our relationship with Christ.

Well, the women are up now...and it's not a moment to let our hair down, but rather to put it up and get to work in digging into what biblical womanhood is, how it functions, and how God lined it all up!

God designed men with a very important purpose. These are no small tasks, but they are completely possible. Jesus shows us what this looks like in his words and actions. He is the ultimate example. We cannot be Jesus, but when we submit to Jesus we grow and humble ourselves before Him. He transforms us to be more like Him.

Everyone wants to be invited to weddings...they're fun, you get to see people you have not seen in a while, and you get to eat, party and dance. But remember, the whole point of the wedding is watching 2 become 1 - to watch God's beautiful design happen right before your eyes. In this sermon, Matt examines how being invited to this wedding has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with God's grace, truth, and design for our lives

Does shame rule your life or does the Savior. He has much more to say than what the Accuser does. Who will you listen to and then who will you tell about God's divine grace and truth in your life?

We will face many trials, persecution, and pain. The good news is that Jesus is with us through those trials and tribulations. The treasures that we inherit are not on this earth, but are in heaven. Our struggles are not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world. Our struggle is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Jesus prays for us as we navigate life. He lifts us up to God the Father for protection because He knows what trials we will face in life when we surrender our lives to Him. Take heart in knowing that Jesus intercedes on our behalf through prayer! Jesus Christ who died for us commits us who believe to the Father for safekeeping! Let your security rest upon the Father's faithfulness to His Son, Jesus. You are loved.

True freedom is not absolute do whatever you want, that's chaos, but following Christ brings a freedom that the world cant compare with. A true relationship is marked by characteristics. What Christ offers is a new way of life, and SAYING you're a believer is definitely not the same as BEING a believer.
