THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE UGLY

The scripture lesson is from the twenty-ninth chapter of Genesis in which Jacob bargains with Laban for a spouse, gets more than he intended.

The message is a tag-team presentation by Pastor Amanda and Pastor Johnnie.

Amanda:  Describes the feelings of her 18-year old self as she awaited the groom

Johnnie:  Described the emotions of his 17-year old self as he was about to be yoked to the girl of his choice. 

Attribution of the following goes to the team.

God wants your marital relationship to be a blessing to you.

Like Jacob, when we marry we get more than we bargain for.

A relationship cannot be built solely on feelings.  It must be built on decisions.

1.  Choose to commit to one another every day.  You will have to put work into the relationship.

2.  Choose to love when the feeling of love is not there.

3.  Choose to honor Christ and keep Him at the center of all you do.

Many relationships fail because they are not Christ-centered.

Jesus is the only one who makes true love possible.

Today make a re-commitment to your spouse.  Work on your marriage, work on your relationship with Jesus, and you and your spouse will have the joy of being united as one.
