The Well

Theory’s great! But when it comes to facing another day of a marriage that feels stagnant, practical advice and proven methods are like gold. In this program, Chip shares some of the wealth he’s gained over the years - practices that have made the difference in his marriage -from the daily routine, to the long-term plan.

Biblical practices great marriages have in common:

• Love
• Hope

Jesus gives hope to His bride, the Church:

• John 14:1-21
• Hope is a picture of the future that says, what we are doing today is going to produce a better tomorrow.

Principles:

1. Long-term planning provides HOPE and PERSPECTIVE to overcome short-term pain and challenges.
2. Great plans provide a specific PATH and create HOPE for tomorrow and forever.
3. Hope rises and falls with how we keep our PROMISES.

Practical implications:

1. If you fail to PLAN, you plan to FAIL.
2. If you don’t have a plan, you don’t have HOPE.

Tools for transformation:

1. Clarity

• You are a trophy of God’s grace – you share hope when you share your brokenness.
• Assignment: Add 10 years – see the goal, plan to get there.

2. Structure – work together on:

• Finances
• Calendars

3. If necessary, get outside help

This is part one of the sermon, "Sacred Marriage."

Why are so many Christians cynical about prayer? They probably would share a story about how God did not intervene when they needed Him. In this message, Pastor Lutzer shares four facts about faith in Hebrews 11. God does miracles for some people and not for others, and yet he invites us to grow closer to Him through both.

What comes to mind at the mention of idols? Statues of stone or at times fine metals, right? Our study today will head straight into the modern day reality of how prevalent new types of idols are, and how we can resist their taking over.
