In this powerful and convicting message from Marriage Weekender 2026, Pastor Chris Chadwick challenges the cultural misconceptions that often lead believers to place marriage on a pedestal it was never meant to occupy.

Whether you are single, dating, or married, this sermon provides a biblical framework for navigating relationships with holiness, discernment, and a heart fully committed to the local church.

In this challenging message from the 2026 Marriage Weekender, guest speaker Pastor Richard Rossiter of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Spring Hill, Florida explores the profound impact of the local church on a godless and immoral society. Turning to the book of Titus chapters 1 and 2, we discover that the ultimate solution for a declining culture is not found in politics or programs, but in a qualified man of God delivering faithful expositional preaching to the people of God. This sermon challenges believers to stop treating Christianity like a spectator sport and start taking personal responsibility for implementing biblical truth within their own families and marriages so that the Word of God be not blasphemed.

In this practical and challenging session from Marriage Weekender 2026, Pastor Richard Rossiter of Cornerstone Baptist Church explores the common pitfalls in conflict resolution through the lens of King Saul's failures in 1 Samuel 15. Conflict is an inevitable part of marriage, but the goal for a Christian couple is not to "win" as enemies, but to seek resolution as allies. Pastor Rossiter identifies the various ways we evade true resolution—through excuses, spiritualizing our failures, or focusing on public perception—and calls husbands and wives to embrace the humility and ownership required to build a stronger, Christ-centered relationship.

Chapters:

0:00:00 - Introduction to Conflict Resolution

0:01:21 - The Goal: Allies vs Enemies

0:03:13 - Conflict as a Source of Strength

0:05:41 - The Value of Alternative Opinions

In this powerful session from Marriage Weekender 2026, special guest Pastor Richard Rossiter from Cornerstone Baptist Church explores the profound theological significance of the marriage relationship.

This message serves as a sobering yet encouraging reminder that a healthy marriage is built on spiritual integrity and a shared reverence for a holy God who desires to be sanctified in the lives of His people.

In this challenging message from Philippians 2, Christian Saldana addresses the root cause of conflict in marriage: a lack of unity born from pride. By examining the Mind of Christ, we discover that true joy and oneness in marriage are not found in asserting our rights, but in the radical humility of serving our spouse. Through faithful expositional preaching, this sermon explores how Jesus Christ’s example of self-emptying love provides the ultimate blueprint for a God-honoring home. Learn how esteeming your spouse better than yourself can transform your relationship from a battleground into a picture of the Gospel, where humility leads to true exaltation and lasting peace.
