In It ToWin It: Married With Children

So we are in a marriage series and Mother’s Day just happened to fall in the middle of the series.  We are planning what we address in marriage on Mother’s Day and we decided on a sermon called MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.   So I begin to do some research on the topic and I will tell you that I was literally thrown into a tailspin by what I found.  Then I began to talk to couples and found out that the research was spot on…So here we go.  

 

James 1:2-4.   I want to give you the big picture of what these verses are saying to us—-Everything that happens is happening to make us more like Christ.   I need you to put those glasses on right now—What ever happens in your life is happening, or can be used to move us toward Christlikeness.   Loss, struggle, frustration, conflict—all of it is moving us to become more like Jesus.   This gives new insight into Romans 8:28l AND WE KNOW THAT GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.  Think of that verse in terms, not of all things working out, but of God working His will in your life—which is you and I becoming conformed to the image of Christ.   

 

With that in mind let’s pray and talk marriage…
