The essential thing in a marriage relationship is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is not optional; it is a command. This means that we surrender ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to control us. This is an on-going, continual, yielding to the Spirit of God. Jesus said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke concerning the Spirit." We must dedicate ourselves to Christ and depend on the Holy Spirit daily. Today we look at Ephesians chapter 5, for more insight from Paul on marriage.

Many of the problems in marriage stem from selfishness or self-centeredness. In the book of Philippians, the apostle Paul said, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." This is an excellent verse to apply to our marriages. And, in our study today, we turn to Ephesians chapter 5, for more insight from Paul on marriage. Let's join Pastor John now as he explains further in today's message How to Correct It…

Marriage exists in a broken and fallen world, and Satan is our enemy. In today's study, we take a look at Second Timothy chapter 3, where the apostle Paul warns that as the end of time draws near; evil will intensify. As goes the family, so goes society, our culture, our nation, and our world. If you destroy marriage, you destroy family, which then has a domino effect on everything else. In our last study, we heard that Satan wants to promote four types of perverted love. The first two are the love of self and love of money.

Marriage exists in a broken and fallen world, and Satan is our enemy. In our study today, we take a look at Second Timothy chapter 3, where the apostle Paul warns that as the end of time draws near; evil will intensify. Then he goes on to list the characteristics of people living in the last days. He starts with, "For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy…" Today, Pastor John speaks to us about these perilous times and the effect they have on a marriage. Let's join him right now with the message The Characteristics of the Last Days…

In Genesis chapter three, we read about the fall of man and how sin has affected our whole world. Because of sin, we see the need for a redeemer, Jesus Christ. We also learn that the serpent was subtle, and he asked Eve the question, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" In today's study, we hear that Satan will target your mind with lies, as his purpose is to get you ignorant of God's will and disobedient to God's word. Therefore, the more grounded we are in the Word of God, the more we can recognize the lies of the enemy. Let's join Pastor John now as he explains further in today's message How Satan Corrupted It…

In our last study, we heard about the creation of Adam… and then God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." We learned about the covenant relationship of marriage. Now, we move from Genesis chapter one to chapter two, where we discover that something has gone wrong. In today's study, Pastor John explains why marriage can be so difficult. Let's join him right now with the message How Satan Corrupted It…

In our culture today, we see a significant decline in marriage. A lot of people have no understanding of God's original design for marriage. Jesus said this about marriage: "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' "and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?" Pastor John says that "the husband and wife relationship is the tightest, closest most permanent bond on planet earth." Let's join him right now with the message How God Created It…

Scripture says, "And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him."" Let's join Pastor John right now with the message How God Created It…

Paul knows he's going to heaven. And, in his farewell address, he speaks about finishing his race and the prize that is waiting for him in heaven. He says that this prize is not only for him but for “all who are longing for His appearing.” In Luke 12, Jesus told us, "The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat!" Are you looking for the Lord's return? Let's join Pastor John right now as he shares Paul's final words to Timothy with the message titled Paul Poured Out…

When Paul penned this letter, his death was inevitable – probably just days away. He is in prison for the second time, in chains, abandoned by everyone except Luke. Paul realizes that he is near the end of his race, and he writes to pass the torch to his young protégé, Timothy. In chapter four, he charges Timothy to "preach the Word…to do the work of an evangelist, and to fulfill your ministry." And, In our study today, Paul begins his farewell address as the time for his departure is near.
