Let's Repair the Foundation

Date: 
February 24-27, 2012
Series:
Scripture: 
Genesis 2:18-25
Topic:

Damage to a marriage can begin even before the vows. Among the greatest threats to a new union are the young bride and groom’s thoughts about what life with a new spouse will be like. Expectations often lead to broken dreams, as invariably, young couples fall into the trap of looking forward to a non-existent reality. However, there is no ideal marriage this side of sin. Instead, marriage promises a lifetime of two people striving together for maturity.

The Project: Let's Consider the Cost

Date: 
February 22-23, 2012
Series:
Scripture: 
Colossians 3:1-3, 3:5-6, 3:8-10
Topic:

Changes are never cheap. Renovating a house is expensive…but restoring a home is infinitely more costly! No one ever worked through a difficult, hurting marriage without paying a very high price. This fact alone causes many partners to refuse the process. The pain of changing is, in the opinion of many, too great to bear. But for those who do change, how sweet it is!

Let's Consult the Architect

Date: 
February 17-21, 2012
Series:
Scripture: 
Genesis 2:18-25Proverbs 24:3-4
Topic:

The institution of marriage has fallen on hard times—divorce rates are soaring, men and women are testing the marriage waters by living together first, to say nothing about society’s attempts to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples. But marriage is a divinely designed institution, and if marriage is to thrive in an increasingly hostile culture then we must first consult the architect of marriage…God.

Who Says the Honeymoon Must End?

Date: 
May 31-June 2, 2011
Series:
Scripture: 
Genesis 1:27-28, 1:31Proverbs 5:1-4, 5:15-191 Corinthians 7:1-5
Topic:

We think of the honeymoon as the beginning of the marriage—that initial burst of physical love—that period of passionate ecstasy between the wedding ceremony and the return to the normal responsibilities of everyday life. Nothing is wrong with thinking about the honeymoon in this way. But it does imply that the honeymoon is only for newlyweds and is only temporary.
