“Because You say so, Lord,” This final message of a 4 part series in Marriage and Family, calls for believers to stop settling for less than God's best and to take personal responsibility before the Lord—regardless of a spouse's response. We learn why obedience is essential to experiencing God's blessing in marriage and family.

Marriage should be Pure, Selfless and Passionate. In this message, we look at what Scripture says about honoring the marriage relationship, keeping it centered on Christ, and building a love that reflects His heart. Through this study, we are encouraged to pursue a marriage that is pure, selfless, and passionate—just as God intended.

One of the first steps in straightening out messes we are responsible for is taking full responsibility . Saul never did; David was different. Each one of us must be this raw—this real—with God if we want things to get better.

Marriage is more than a partnership—it is a living picture of Christ and His church, and when we walk in these roles, we place our homes under the spout where God's blessings flow. Jesus is Lord, and obedience to Him is the measure of our faith.

No matter how hard you try to do things your way, no matter how convinced you are things will work out, God will never let things work out your way…

Whether you're married, single, engaged, widowed or preparing for the future, this message will encourage you to see marriage through God's eyes, not the culture's.

I hope that most of you know by now that God always answers prayer. It's just that we don't always get the answers we want!
