Welcome to another Faith Friday!! We only have two left! Can you believe it!? This week’s Faith Confession ties in with a sermon I’ve been watching online this week. It just so happens that the sermon comes from Steven Furtick, author of these Faith Confessions. He’s been preaching a series called Meant to Be. Here’s what the church has to say about Meant to Be..
“When it comes to seeking advice about relationships, marriage, and sex, we tend to look in all the wrong places. Everywhere we turn, we’re promised pleasure and happiness, but we’re left feeling hurt and empty. The world claims to have the answers, but maybe we’ve been asking the wrong questions all along. In our series Meant to Be, we’ll have open conversations and uncover the Bible’s best kept secrets about sex, marriage, and being single.”
Although the series may seem like it is only applicable to married people, this series contains genuine truths and God’s word for everyone. Married, Single, Divorced, Widowed.
I just watched Part Three this morning. Part Three deals with the sacred covenant of marriage. How marriages have potential to fail when we make our covenant a contract. Our covenant sometimes isn’t convenient. Marriages are strained when we live by the ledger method, when we become collectors instead of debtors.
“For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health . . . These are the vows we take when we get married – but in our current culture we don’t always understand the depth of the covenant we’re making. In marriage, two are supposed to become one. So why do so many couples struggle with staying together? In part 3 of our series Meant To Be, Pastor Steven explains four ways our life-long relationships are challenged – and shows us how building an anointed marriage begins with the debt-canceling grace of Jesus.”
If you have some time this weekend, I encourage you to watch this series. And examine your relationships and yourself. And most of all, examine if God is the center of your relationship, your marriage. Are you living for WE instead of ME?
Much like this sermon, this week’s faith confession can be for anyone.. If you are single, sub future in there. If you are a parent, sub I am a godly parent, our family is blessed.
Sometimes we just need a reminder that no matter the mistakes we make in our relationships, no matter the sins we commit… We are still blessed.
Happy Friday my friends!
