Lies

Satan is all about lies. That’s what Jesus said. The devil will twist, distort and exaggerate in his efforts to mislead us. Sometimes, he will just flat out confront us with something that is obviously not true, but he will package it in something incredibly attractive so that we buy into what he is saying. Lies – plain and simple lies. That’s what the Evil One want us to believe.

There are few areas of human existence where Satan more effectively ruins lives with his lies than in marriage. Having convinced us that we need to be most concerned about our individual happiness, he then leads us into thinking that a committed relationship like marriage can work with two people primarily looking out for their own interests. The results have been heart breaking, leading many today to question whether marriage is viable.

Jesus Christ, however, has a much different view of marriage. One time a group of religious leaders asked him about divorce. His response was a robust endorsement of marriage.

This weekend we’re going to be studying what Jesus taught about marriage. It’s much different than the lies of Satan. According to Christ, marriage is closely connected to our relationship with him. It is an opportunity to deeply influence the life of another while at the same time to be incredibly blessed.

Join us for one of our weekend services. Get a glimpse of marriage as God means it to be!
