I hope you have had a good week. Lord willing, I am beginning a series this Sunday entitled "Homelife." I am very excited about this series. I believe God will use it in many lives.
This Sunday we begin with "The Meaning of Marriage" and we will consider what God says in the book of Genesis 2:18-25. Here is a rough outline:
Men and women are different (shocker!) Those differences are devine. How? * Dependence on God * Independence from Parents * Interdependence on Your Spouse
That is just a little taste of where we are going with the message. I hope you can be here and bring someone with you.
God bless and I am thankful to be your Pastor.
In Christ, Bro. Rick
