Reflections from Art of Marriage

This past weekend, our church hosted The Art of Marriage.  I would highly recommend all couples to attend the Art of Marriage.  The videos are inspiring and challenging and extremely well done.  Family Life has done a great job of incorporating couple projects, real life stories, humor, and teaching from marriage experts to create a worthwhile investment for your marriage.  It would be beneficial for engaged couples, newlyweds, empty nesters, and everything in between.  We can always be learning and strengthening our marriages.

For Sterling alumni, you can even see our very own Ed Lowry, in one of the sketches.

Here are a few quotes to pique your interest: 

"Receiving your spouse is a DAILY choice."

"One reason couples drift apart is that they fail to make their marriage the priority it ought to be."

"Culture has created a "gender blender" when it comes to roles and responsibilities in a marital relationship."

"All communication takes place on two levels: the content level (truth) and the relational level (love)."

"God created sex to be enjoyable, pleasurable and passionate in marriage."

"Your marriage is a picture of the gospel to a watching world."

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To e...
