Christ and the Church

Ephesians 5:32, “This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.”

Paul has just delivered some instruction concerning husbands and wives and then he concludes with the statement above.  Sunday I said, “Our spouses were not given to us to meet our every need, but to point us to who can--- Christ.”  I believe there is a spiritual purpose to every marriage.  Do you agree or disagree?  If so what is it? How has your spouse helped you?… (we are only taking the helpful comments)!

I apologize!  Last week there was a 3x5 card in the program. I was suppose to tell you any question about marriage you have write it on the card and I will be blogging about it the next several weeks in my blog.  So if I forget… that is the purpose of the card this week!  Write your question and put it in the baskets that are passed for the offering at the end!

I was incredibly proud of a family this past week.  They met a family who was there for the first time and then invited them to lunch!  Kingdom in action!  What a great example for all of us.  Lets share the love.

See you Sunday,

Dave

...Two weeks ago, while greeting at the front door I heard a comment that moved me in a tremendous way....I said good morning and welcomed a couple...they said that that gesture has encouraged them to keep coming back to our church. I felt priviledged and honored to convey such a simple message of greeting with happiness and sincerity.

Miracles happen in small ways by doing simple things for others.

Nancy you are so right... even the little things we do speak volumes when done in and for grace. Thanks for extending your hand.

Long before the pastor brings his message any new people have already made some judgement about our church. It is so important to greet new people and welcome them to our church. Those first few minutes can make or brake a person to come back. I know that our church is full of God centered, loving people but lets share it with everyone, not just those we know.
