The Church and Love
Ephesians 5 describes the relationship of Jesus with His Church as like that between a husband and his bride. We see the nature of God's love for us in the sacrificial and sanctifying love that Jesus displays for His Church and we are drawn to emulate this in our relationship with the other members of His Church, our brothers and sisters in Christ - no matter how hard that might be for us on a human level.

Love Means Sacrificing
Big Idea: If I love you, I will Sacrifice For You “Abram heard that his nephew had been captured, he called together all the fighting men in his camp, 318 in all, and pursued the four kings… he divided his men into groups, attacked the enemy by night, and defeated them. He chased them… and got back all the loot that had been taken. He also brought back his nephew Lot and his possessions… When Abram came back from his victory… Melchizedek, who was king of Salem and also a priest of the Most High God, brought bread and wine to Abram,blessed him, and said, ‘May the Most High God, who made heaven and earth, bless Abram! May the Most High God, who gave you victory over your enemies, be praised!’ And Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the loot he had recovered.” genesis14/14>20tev

What does it mean when we try to make a castle work with only two or three walls? Our second wall we put in place is is thru “leaving mom and dad.”

Mawiage
Marriage is God’s idea. However every person enters marriage with their own idea of what a happily-ever-after looks like. Does your happily ever after match God’s blueprint? By finding common unity on God’s blueprint, couples can avoid an after-wedding meltdown.
