Healthy Marriages are the Foundation of Healthy Homes “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”— Genesis 2:24 1. Leave “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother… — Genesis 2:24 We must leave our parents. Your spouse is your new priority. We must leave our past. 2. Cleave “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife — Genesis 2:24 Marriage is not contractual; it's covenantal. “‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.” — Ephesians 5:31–32 3. Become “One-flesh.” “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” — Genesis 2:24 Marriage Belongs to God “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” — Genesis 3:5 When leaving becomes an issue, stress becomes the norm. If we don't cleave to each other, we will cleave to something (or someone). If you want a healthy marriage, you must have healthy hearts. “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” — Ezekiel 36:26 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation…” — 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God…” — John 3:3
Jacob Richardson teaches that there's a big difference between serving God for the glory of God and serving God for our own glory. God desires leaders to serve, not steal. Pretending to serve God for selfish gain leads to shame. Serving God by the power of his Spirit leads to freedom. Sin brings judgement, and we have an opportunity to repent.
This week in the study of Philemon, we walk through verses 4-7 and discuss how all that we do is not just in response to what God has done for us, but in reverence for God.

Our Only Hope for Loving God Scripture: Psalm 63:1–11 Speaker: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church As our Prayer series concludes, we'll look at the totality of Psalm 63 and note the not-so-subtle shift in vs. 9–11. For the first eight verses, the focus is firmly on David's love and admiration for God. But suddenly, his attention turns to those who would be threats to the king. The language change is so abrupt it's as if these three verses don't even fit the psalm. Yet, through the contrast these verses provide, we discover our only hope of loving God for God.

C'mon, My Soul! Scripture: Psalm 42 Speaker: Adam Mashni, 707 High School Ministry Pastor This week we study a psalm that embodies life on the struggle bus. The psalmist longs to be at the Temple praising God as he has done before. But life has him somewhere else, in far more challenging circumstances, and he's yearning for relief. Yet, we see a beautiful refrain where he turns, pauses, and begins coaching himself in the ways of God. When life gets tough, it can be hard to connect with God. But Psalm 42 provides prayer tools to help us turn our eyes upward when spiraling down.

Training to Love God for God Scripture: Psalm 63:1–8 Speaker: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church Late in 1965, in Detroit, Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston recorded “It Takes Two,” a song that depicted many things in life (dreams, love, wishes, etc.) being better with two people instead of one. But human relationships require diligent and ongoing work to flourish, and both parties must contribute. Our relationship with God is no different. If we're going to love God for God, then God must do something, and we must do something. In this week's message, we'll discover those two things.

Intimacy With God Scripture: Psalm 63:1 Speaker: Jon Morales, Lead Pastor of Oak Pointe Church When David wrote Psalm 63, he did so from an experience of being captivated by God. He is so enamored with who God is and what God does for him that his heart overflows into these eleven verses. But clearly, this is not a normative experience for people of faith. Even though hundreds of millions around the globe attend church each weekend, many do not experience an ongoing deep connection with God. Why is intimacy with God so rare? Beginning this Sunday, we'll embark on a four-week series from the Psalms called Prayer: Loving God For God. These will not simply be messages about prayer but will actively teach us how to pray! We'll discover that as our prayer life improves, so will our intimacy with God.

I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is: my wife, who is 32 weeks pregnant, contracted covid & has been really miserable. The good news? God's people have overwhelmed us with love. I don't know how people make it in this life without the church, I know I sure couldn't. And it's not just us, our church family does this for so many time and time again. Well...that's the way it should be. God has designed his people to be those that have been changed from the inside out by the love of God. They should love, not to receive anything in return, but because they cannot help to share what they've received themselves from God - compassion, mercy, and grace. Thank God for God's people!

Preacher: Joel Fair Scripture: Mark 12:28-34 LOVE GOD - VS 28-30 LOVE OTHERS - VS 31 THE KING IS HERE - VS 32-34 REPENT & BELIEVE Mark 1:15 (ESV) The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. Colossians 1:19 (ESV) For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, Psalm 119:1–8 (ESV) Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes! Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me! John 14:15 (ESV) If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 1 John 4:7–11 (ESV) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. Matthew 5:17 (ESV) Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Galatians 2:20–21 (ESV) I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. Special Guest: Joel Fair.
