Join Pastor Bob Russell for a profound and practical message on marriage, titled "Modeling a Godly Marriage," delivered after 60 years of marriage experience. Pastor Bob asserts that the best thing a married couple can do for their children, church, and community is to model a godly marriage. He notes that the traditional family is disintegrating under a relentless attack from culture.

Drawing from Ephesians 5:22-33, Pastor Bob outlines God’s design for the home:

-- Husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church. This love, agape, is a commitment to doing the right thing regardless of feeling. It is expressed by sacrificing for her, focusing on her positive qualities, and being perceptive of her needs (affection, conversation, trust, financial security, and family commitment).

-- Wives are commanded to respect their husbands. This respect is an act of submission to the husband's delegated leadership, even if the wife is more capable, acknowledging the Lordship of Christ. It is expressed by responding to his needs (including sexual fulfillment and admiration).

The sermon is a candid call for authenticity, reminding couples to stick together even through disagreements, and emphasizing that forgiveness must always trump divorce. Pastor Bob closes with a heartfelt invitation for couples to come forward for prayer to strengthen their marriage or for individuals to accept Christ as their Savior.
